The iCEPACK - November Issue
Well, here it is! The fourth in an ongoing series of monthly art
packages by iCE has finally come into existence: iCEPK-11. The art scene has
never before seen such a compilation of talent, hard work, and sweat such as
this one, and I think itll be a while before the likes of this is seen again.
Many people worked long hours to get this thing together, and some of us even
put off doing very important research papers to put in time on this grr. Some
last minute thanks go to: Marshal Law, Eternal Darkness, and Riothamus for
their last minute revisions of thier respective works. Many of the VGAs in
the iCEPACK were drawn by the artist as long as three months ago, but have been
sitting on what has fondly become known as the pile on Rivendell iCE WORLD
Headquarters..subtle hint this should explain why a few of the items in here
are dated December 1st.
First I want to explain why I have only one ansi out this month instead
of the like...shyt..ten+ that I normally have. Im not going to apologize
because its not because of me that I havent put out more than 1, its because
of October. During the month of October, we had very high quality releases,
but very low quantity, and if every artist were releasing equally, then there
wouldnt be a problem, but they werent. A few artists were carrying the weight
for the rest, and among those were The Necromancer, and Repete Ophender whom
Id like to thank. And Ive had to spend most of this month correcting that
situation, calling people, writing tons of email and posts, and I found to my
dismay that I didnt have any time to do the ansis that I like doing so much
and its true, I love doing them..trying new things..etc. So that explains
my lack of ANSi production this month. To end on a happier note however, Ive
found a new field of interest...........
V G A
......yes folks, TEMPUS FINALLY HAS A 286 AND A VGA MONITOR!!! The world
has Nasty Child Ex-iCE Staff Member to thank for this most fortunate turn of
events. All I have to say is, VGA rules.
Well, I guess the big news this month is Marshal Laws latest ansi, and
what alot of you may be asking, Whos that Amroth guy?. First MLs ANSi not
bad for about 2 days work, huh? And I thought I worked fast! And hes told
us that hes going to be producing ansis more frequently in the near future,
so were all looking forward to seeing what comes from his corner. Next,
Amroth. Amroth comes from a group called Death run by Morbid Angel who became
a Vice President at iCE when he merged with us. Amroth was the star player in
Death, a group consisting of some highly productive, high potential, but raw
talent, and he seems to be refining very nicely. In his first month at iCE,
hes already produced the largest ANSimation ever, and promises to do much
more, were really proud of this guy. Two other new guys this month are last
minute additions, Smooth from Hawaii, and AADA from CyberCrime well, at least
thats where *I* know him from..heh, we got something last minute from AADA
this month, and hopefully well be able to show you some work by Smooth in
December.
Promotions this month include: Napalm, who is now an iCE Artist,
and Wolverine who is somewhere in limbo. Oh, almost forgot, The Magical
Gangster from Texas joined us this month, and had 3 VGAs in the iCEPACK..nice
work.
New features in the iCEPACK include the iCEAPP.EXE, the second version
of the original iCE Application Generator done by Black Spyrit and LoP. This
time the generator was programmed by Force Ten, and showcases some of the top
art of the group recently and in past months. The generator still has that
GRiM feel to it, but FTs promised to make revisions on it each month. The
other new feature would be...umm..this file! Yeah, thats it. Sorry I
couldnt get the interview thing going, LM..there just wasnt time, and it
wouldnt have really worked out, but your files will not go to waste, just
wait.
Note to all, Manslayer, Black Wolf, and Mr. Mister have all been
inactive due to hardware failure. Black Wolf just got a borrowed monitor
coutesy of me! and has already re-started on a number of his old projects,
and Mr. Mister is starting from scratch with a new system from MS. Look
forward to some nice ANSi work from Black Wolf next month, and some nice VGA
work from the team of Black Wolf and Mr. Mister. My apologies to any new
members I forgot to mention, or Sites/Member Boards/couriers I forgot to list.
Special note to those who use NDOS: Use Norton Commander to view the
contents of the iCEPACK, itll make your life much easier, and the weird dashes
will make sense. Extra special note to those who use Norton Commander: When
viewing the directory containing the iCEPACK, make the directory listing
*UNSORTED*, itll make your life even easier still.
