The shopping is done, the lights are on the tree, the cookies are laid out for Santa.. the only thing left to do now is to curl up with this month's Hallucigenia pack.. available at cdrom.com (ftp://cdrom.com/pub/artpacks/artpacks/1998/hal1298.zip), and soon to be fully viewable online at our website, (http://dfact.ml.org/hallucigenia).
hrmm. you guys are improving, ill deffinatley give you that! You may wanna do so me qc on a few of those pieces, especially the texture like ones from p3d... not that his otherstuff was bad, but they just werent.. interesting, no focus.. ud-stuff was a good photo, tho. nice colors and texture.. And on On-oldtm.jpg, teach optik not to use that texturize filter.. iris' stuff, (besides the rip) was pretty inventive, and i complement her on a unique style. btw, you guys deffinatley need more representation in #hirez :) hehehe
Atom: Actually, from the sound of your message, did you happen to write that review based on the website as of about three days ago? It sticks out in my mind because Iris doesn't have any work in the December pack.. anyway, if you did, you just reviewed the November pack and if you go back now, the December pack is online and viewable..
i did base it on the november pack (whoops) ill check it out again and post my comments :) hehe
hmmm... cs is DAMN cool, except his handling of text, which could use some help (have him find me in #hirez?)... couple things, p3d needs to add a little less abstraction and go for something that means something, not just looks good, and lensflaires are bad. tb needs some help on his lighting, maybe he should talk to darkhalo?... otherwise good, and etana, your photos need a little more contrast? good composition on lane tho, i liked that one.. we can share photos sometime :) heh pencil drawings were nice in there too.. im not gonna review lit because thats not my forte :) hrmm nice work! keep it up!!!
I liked the drawings by T.Bowling probibly the best out of the pack.
How about a little feedback too.. hmmm?

Not that the feedback isn't greatly appreciated--and will be passed on--but you should know that more goodies from Hallucigenia are now readily available. =)
As for presence on #hirez.. I'm not a big IRC person myself, simply because everytime I go online I can't seem to find any conversation--ANYWHERE--however, Hallucigenia tries to meet on IRC every Sunday between 7pm-9pm (Pacific Standard Time) in #hallucigenia and I usually put in an appearance on #hirez while I'm there..

The background designs by P3D were pretty cool.
tr-xmas has good form, but would have looked better smothed out.
the b/w photos were nice.
az-vr3 was interesting.
(personally, I think rather than releasing pencil drawings, they should colorize and redraw them. It would make the overall pack just look better - there good drawings but why not take a little more time on each one and make them REALLY good drawings?)
