Û °Ûßßßßßßß Û im looking at this pak, and wow, that is a lot of ÛÜÜÜ ÜÜÜÛ work for only two weeks to prepare! Û ÞÛÛ²ÝÞÛÛ²Ý Û Û ÛÛßÛ ÛÛßÛÛ rai: well, lesse here .. we gained so many awesome Û ÜÜ ÜÜÜ ÜÜÛ artists this month .. its all thanks to them .. Û ÞÛÛÜÜÜÜܲ²Ý Û it isnt easy to release bi-weekly .. i had to Û ßßßßßßßßßÛ prepare these info files and change them a lot Û ÜÜÜ ßß ÜÜÜÜ Û due to new members, etc .. Û ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ°°±± Û ÛÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÛ scene guy: ahhh .. well, why don't you fools just release every month like a normal group? i mean .. its art and we wanna see it monthly, not bi-weekly, that way we can just keep up with it better .. and you guys have more quantity that way too .. rai: well, incase you haven't noticed yet, we're ÛßßßßßßßßßßßßßßÛ definately not a normal group .. :9 we wanna be ÛÛ°²Û  Û °°Û a different group, getting away from the "runÛ Ü ÞÝ Û ÞÝÞÝ Û of the mill" sort of paks .. and get into differentÛ ßÜ°± ² ° Û Û things ..Û Ü ÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ Û ÛÞÛÛ²ÝÞÛÛ²Ý Û scene guy: wouldn't it just be easier on everyone Û Ü ÛÛßÛ ÛÛß²° Û if you just released monthly? jeepers ..ÛÜÜÜ ÜÜÜ Ü Û Û Þ²²ÛÜÜÜÜÜÛÝ Û rai: well, it would be easier, but less fun, and lessÛßßßßßßßßß ² rewarding than releasing monthly .. its great to Û ÜÜÜÜ ßß ÜÜÜ Û keep the art flowing regularly .. it also keeps Û ßßßßßßßßßßß Û us artists away from the typical art thing where youßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß either draw a lot of stuff at the beginning of the month and then take time off at the end, or get lazy and do a last minute pic, or logo just so you can make the pak the day before it releases .. hopefully we don't get people that do that with the group .. plus we can keep people in the scene updated on all of the guys in the group more than once a month .. what can i say, i guess we're just work-a-holics .. errrr .. :9 scene guy: yeah i guess .. well, it still makes it over-all better for me, the scene guy! more art, more to read, more to check out, when most groups aren't releasing! rai: yeah thats it .. :) well, we love to draw art and act weird as hell, so i guess its fun to do all month .. it all works out in the end eh? :) scene guy: yeah .. i've heard some gripe about there not being enough pics in the pak? rai: well, we picked up a lot of good artists this month, crayon, bold, cheeze, agent#77, magnatop, dieznyik and mighty mouse, they may be able to help us pull out better pics in the pak .. we have all turned out a lot of excellent work this month, with lots more pics too .. scene guy: one thing, can we say "LOGO COLLY" ? rai: hmmm .. dont know that one .. :) i guess it would be easier for you to see a colly, but then we'd only have a few things for you to see and it would be very quick .. this way the logos all get seperate appreciation .. scene guy: yeah i guess .. it all works out .. the logos are really great, i really don't mind having to look at them individually .. also, there was no ascii, whats up with that? rai: well, i won't lie, im not a fan of ascii really, but we may introduce an ascii area to our group in the near future .. it would probably just consist of a few people tho .. we want to emphasize ansi in the group .. scene guy: how about vga? rai: nope .. i don't wanna get involved in it, good vga artists should go to good vga groups, plus, it ups the pak size a ton, and i dont wanna do that .. i want to keep it small and ansi-based .. scene guy: yeah .. another plus for me, the scene guy! so, can i go now? i wanna looket the pak .. rai: sounds good to me, hope you like it! read on for more info on the pak .. ECLIPSE JULY 1996 INFO FILE ---------------------------------------------------> hi kids, welcome to the second installment of eclipse, isn't it amazing, we released two times in one month .. kinda monumental in my opinion :) .. we've decided, although it's hectic, we will continue to release every 2 weeks, ATLEAST for the summer .. we hope you like the paks, we aim to please .. well, this pak was really hard for me to get out because i left the apartment for a week to head out to a camp for a week .. so i started writing all these info files and member lists and such, right before i left .. a lot of art to do for all this stuff .. hopefully the fact that we release bi-weekly won't change the quality of our art at all .. each month we will have new designs for all things, the member list, convention info, info file, etc .. hopefully you like the themes we used this month :) this month we picked up the talent of magnatop as he joins us in our journey .. he is another local 616'er so it wasn't that long before he moved in .. he's all set and drawing non-stop now .. he will hopefully add a lot to the group .. also, a BIG event that we have been looking forward to, we finally got cheeze to join .. one of my personal favorite artists and good friend .. he comes to us from cia and he is still also affiliated with plain .. another talented artist that comes along with us this month is crayon,   previously of nootropic's group .. it was the group with some numbers and a few letters that i can't recall .. :) another big joinee this month is a very unsung artist that we are excited to pick up, bold .. he joins us from his previous group, retro from alaska! coming to us from plain and septic, we get an excellent toon artist, agent#77 .. on of our latest additions to the team, mighty mouse, comes to us from plain, and still maintains a position of ansi head in cia .. the last member we got joining this month was dieznyik, of course previously nootropic .. although he may only release an ansi or two per month with us, he expressed a big interest in the group and he is a personal favorite of mine and will help the team alot .. overall, this months acquisitions will be a big help to the team .. so i hope you enjoy this month's pak, read up on the next few files, for our new addition to the info files this month, torgo's "tale's from the apartment" .. as mascot he decided he would take on some new responsibilities in the group, like writing his own info file, it'll be enjoyable because he is a very funny guy .. hope you like it .. it tells breifly what's going on with us personally, and how it's going in the apartment .. check it out .. seems like the biggest complaint this month about the pak was that there was too much writing ... so i guess that if eclipse ends up being dubbed "the group that talked too much and drew too little" then so be it .. we like being a group like that, its more fun .. ;) so i guess just check out all the great art and the excellent reading and we hope you enjoy our second pak .. look for us again on the 15th!
