This is simply because the pack pretty much screwed up on us in the last minute . I (nd) had all the pack material in my hdd, and was planning to go on the net and get all of the other submissions , either off of the web , by email , or , on IRC . This unfortantly didn't happen , as I came back from school , I had no computer any more , and also no phone line..well..these details really don't matter , we still managed to put out a nice pack and get positive reviews on , but what this REALLY means , is that youre watching one of the most fantastic hirez packs ever to be released lately in the art scene . We're truly pleased with this pack's submissions . we have CLEARED and SWEPT and REORGANIZED our members list. now as you all know , some changes have occured in the leading positions of the group , as burps goes to college and theknight is lowering profile.. well..somewhat..he's an addict , so we can't really know. Anyway , I won't list all of the people we've removed this month as I find it a waste of time..check out the members list..you should have last month's too..so compare if it interests you. Coming back to be an active fuel member (and a highly talented one , mind you) is Gimango . He's been inactive for 2 months , and I've started wondering what has ever happenned to him , since I see him as one of the scene's greatest talents . He's already an established 3D artist with high quality rendered scenes behind him (check out fuel 12 to 14) , and now he's finally made the transition to a high end 3D Application , and while he's learning the program , he supplies us with some kickass 2D Images , showing great airbrushing skills . We thank gartak for guesting us this month , Some high quality 3D never harms. Coming back into the activity list is comatose . He's been inactive since fuel 15 and now he's back with a logo colly and a kickass superman pic :> . beware . We also welcome Element to our ranks this month . This guy is a MEGA 3D artist , he works for autodesk , and he'll be releasing his pics with us since he's got abit more time on his hands now . This is indeed a great addition to our hirez division . I want to make a point about these logo collies that we've been releasing for 2 months now . This .... concept .. taken ofcourse from the ansi / ascii scene , where logo collies exist in every pack , has been transformed into the hirez scene a while back , when God among lice of Fire has released a few logo collies in Fire Packs . But it has REALLY started it's way in the art scene , when tiny3D has released an impressive logo colly in an iCEpack a few months back , and also in iCE#60. I've already talked about that point before , but I want to add an important point that has risen lately . It is true that we are trying to keep our status as a PICS group , and that goes BOTH for the hirez division and the ansi division , but we do support the logo colly concept , as our artists seem to complete decent logos every month and it'll be a shame not to release them , and if we can also help inserting this refreshing new concept into the hirez scene , then all the better . Mind it though , that getting into the group based on logos only is pretty much hard , and will requier you to be a logo artist of an outstanding level , since we still are (mainly) a pics group . Last but not least , Bryce (aka Tempo) is going to be lowering profile abit , too . He'll still be around , but he's going to take a bit of a break from the scene , concentrating on some other stuff . We appreciate his help to the group and we hope he'll return to be fully active soon . It never harms to apply , standarts are high , but you can always try . Hrm..that rhyms..coolness. Heh..anyway..if you think you're qualified to join up with us , mail Enzyme , He will currently be taking care of applications , at enzyme@iglou.net , or yell at him on IRC . I'd rather not get applications by mail , but if you get on IRC and he's not around , you can bug me instead . That's it for this month , wait for yet another package of supreme quality next month.
