A journey into a wondrous land of imagination and colored blocks.   Why why why? the fuel phenomenon  -- Flashback to the end of 2016 The knight watches a magnificent rendition of Aaron Frick's (TCF/b7) 'making of Maleficent' on youtube. It's so incredibly cool that he decides to send the link to his old fuel buddy Necrofiliac on FB. For a few days, nothing particularly exciting happens. But then tK gets a message from Necro saying 'hey man, i watched that stuff, and i made an ansi. Take a look at it plz'. He proceeds to send the file to tK. Naturally it's in .ans format. tK is panicking. Dude! No idea how i'm gonna watch that. I used to watch everything in ACiDview back in the day in 95.96.97.98. 'Oh but that's easy, just download Pablodraw and you can watch it' Necro replied. Reluctantly, tK installed Pablodraw, just to be able to view his old pal's ansi. It was nice, but it seemed quite unfamiliar. This wasn't how he remembered ansi. The colors were out of whack. Not like the old days. It seemed to be some sort of extension of the color palette, something strange called iCE colors. Yeah you could really do extraordinary things with this 'new' Pablodrawing program, apparently. Next day, Necro sent him another work in progress ansi, asking to take a look at it. The day after he sent a rough outline and asked tK to work on it. Problem: How on earth am i going to explain to Necro that it's cool but that there is no point really in doing this artblock medium again? His reply was that there doesn't need to be a point, but that it's just for fun, and if i was a real Fuel homie, that i would draw again too, and that i should stop hiding under my bed. I really didnt have much else to do so i asked around on FB how to actually draw in this new and weird Pablo program. Turned out, it's incredibly easy if you are already familiar with TheDraw and ACiDdraw. It just has a lot more features. Before i knew it, i was hacking away and doing F1 F2 F3's and the lot again. This is fun! All the old shortcuts i can't repeat by heart (but they're still strangely in my fingers) also seemed to work. The copy-paste under command works! Great! The pick up color alt-u command works. Oh wait, what's this? We got brushes and circle and line tools too now? No way!? Too good to be true! Exploring that new tool gave me the impression of having landed in another dimension. A different dimension, but yet a strangely and unnervingly familiar one. The ansi era of today. After looking up so much (new and old) packs from 2000-2017, i came to the conclusion that everything really all evolved into one big and almighty group, blocktronics. They are basically the essence of all that is ansi. Big respect to all those guys! So i tried my hand at a few ansi pieces, while keeping an eye on FB groups involved in the medium. Strangely hooked up with burps again, and told him about me and Necro drawing again. He seemed sceptical at first. I tried the same trick that Necro pulled on me, and told him to install Pablodraw, but he wouldn't have any of it. He (burps) has always drawn his ansi in an exotic program called A3E. It doesn't use the F keys to put the blocks, it uses the numpad for that. And besides, even if he could get the program running again in dosbox or so, he lost his registration key and it wouldn't work. He contacted the original programmer of A3E and actually got a new license key for that software. Now that's the spirit!  'Maybe we can do a new fuel pack? the fuel phenomenon  Music to my ears! We had at least 3 of the old crew together again, willing to draw those magic bright colored blocks. But hmm, we have some sort of weird legacy to live up to. Plenty people actually remember our packs from back in the day. So we can't suck. We mustn't! The search for our old members started. A painstakingly slow process, because back in the day, people would just sign up with their nickname, and really not much more info than that. Old e-mail addresses that no longer worked etc... Due to dilligent Sherlock Holmes work of several people (also thx to Misfit), we managed to find some of our old guys again. Some didn't really care, or didn't have time, but others found it interesting and fun enough to give it a go and try their hand at ansi (again). Lost members we have found have shown interest in our group and are drawing again. They are like long lost friends we haven't talked to in almost 2 decades. It's really awesome to have you guys back onboard. Thanks a lot to you all! Some of them are also drawing in other group(s), but we are extremely happy that they did not forget their old roots in fuel, and we hope they stay for the long run and we can continue to bring you more nice ansi packs in the future.  the.knight.fuel(2o17)  Luminator at the keys the fuel phenomenon  Fuel was the first "big" art group I joined. It was super exciting to get a chance in a group like that. Full of artists who you looked up to and admired at the time. Being just 12 or 13 at the time, I felt I had finally made it. The years, blood and tears leading to that hadn't gone to waste. Then just one pack in to my Fuel membership the fuckers called it quits - the bastards. Didn't hear anything from them until one morning 20 years later when tk sent me a message about this pack. I thought about it for few secondds, giggled like a little girl and felt like it was 1998 again - it sure is great to be drawing again for the best art group of the 90's. -luminator  2cents from propane the fuel phenomenon      As the time ticks by till the deadline, I realize it's been more   than a decade since ive had a pack to submit to. So many hours   spent drawing as a youth, then years of block silence. Two decades of silence in the case of Fuel. much like herpes, I, and Fuel show up when you least expect. So wash your old saggy balls and enjoy the blocks, cause next go round we might be pushing 60. Just for the record, if you mention Burps on social media, he will show up like Candyman. -propane  words from the lady the fuel phenomenon  Nothing is truer to digital art than ANSi, distilled down to only 16 colors. It's even more amazing to see what can happen when artists with twenty years of experience push boundaries and their skills. I'd kept an eye on the scene, as many of you have, astonished that artists were still releasing packs and honing their skills. Out of nowhere, the knight asked if I wanted to contribute to Fuel, a group I always admired. I couldn't say no, and it's been like a time machine full of familar faces. Welcome back, Fuel!    pinguino kolb  so eh... thanks! the fuel phenomenon  you wouldn't be looking at this pack without the help and contributions from a lot of people. and this is obviously not limited to those who actually have some work in our pack, we've received help in various ways to put this together and to hunt people down. even those we've found and joined our group but didn't get to release in the end, it's been valuable to us to have you around and to receive your support. we're also very patient, one day you'll be doing blocks again (for our next pack in uh... 30 years from now?) :) you all rock, thank you very much! burps  And now the real truth  the fuel phenomenon  hey there kids, last year, this day, the purple midget died... so what? here's some real important news: fuel releases its 21st pack!! and how did this happen? well, necro just had some shrooms, tk sent him a movie of tcf drawing a cool ansi, necro tried to put some blocks himselfasked tk gently if he was also interested in drawing an ansi (actually I had to put the fucker in a nelson hold and chocked him, twice!!) ...et voila, suddenly after 19 years pack nr 21 arrives. magic! ps: i fuck your little pony. necrofiliac  the fuel phenomenon   ÛßÜÜTerrible!
