beyond the horizon - issue number two
-------------------------------------
After several months of delays and a million prospective coders
we finally bring you Beyond The Horizon issue number two. For
those of you who have less than adaquate memories, BTH issue
number one was released in the March 1995 Blade 1-year
anniversary epic. About two months ago, someone mentioned that
we should look into starting BTH again (after the original
coder left, the project was put on the back burner). I decided
that this was probably a good idea, seeing as there is a
shortage of electronic magazines in todays art scene. So about
a month ago, Shivan Bastard applied to blade as a coder. I took
that opportunity to start BTH once again, and gave him the job
of coding this wonderful magazine. So here it is, Beyond The
Horizon Issue Two.. Enjoy it, and look for more installments in
the coming months.

Where the hell are all the emags?
I guess all the various scene writers ran out of arguments
saying how bad the ansi scene sucks. Isn't that a shame.
So what do we write about now? Well, everything in the ansi
scene seems to have cooled down a bit. There aren't a million
little groups popping up everywhere anymore. A lot of the
people have left the scene , and less are coming into it.
People who had an impact before are not really there anymore.
Nothing is as it was when I first became involved, and really
it's a shame.
The 908 scene has literally been destroyed. The major boards
are just about gone. The North Star, Tlorah, and Aneurysm are
gone. Eternal Insanity has changed into Alderaan. The major
908 people have either moved or just don't bother with the
ansi scene anymore.
Has anyone come to rescue the 908 scene? No, because there is
nothing anyone can do. Its not just the 908 scene that is
dying, it is the entire ansi scene that is dying.
It is simple to throw blame. Anyone can say that the emags
were a major factor in the destruction of the ansi scene. One
can also blame the internet , but what is the point. Blame is
not going to help anyone.
So what can be done?
There are a few solutions. I would say that the scene is in
real danger of disappearing right now. What is needed is a
Renaissance, a re-birth.
The people who actually care about the scene have to step up
and take control. They can't just sit there and watch as
everything comes crashing down upon them. It is up to them to
salvage the scene and make it what it once was.
People must realize that art is what the scene is about. Art,
quality and loyalty. Things such as bi-tri-quad-grouping must
end. That is one of the major things destroying the quality
and quantity of the art. Egotistic attitudes must be lost. A
desire to create good art is needed. Charging money and the
attempt to exploit people must be ended.
This is supposed to be the 'underground'. Yet more and more it
is becoming like that which we try to escape from.
People have to once again WANT to create and be original and
the people who care have to lead the way.
The group leaders have to demand good work from their members
Don't just take adequate work, take only the best. Don't just
take something that is no good for the sake of taking it ,
trying not to offend the artist so they won't leave your
group. If the artist isn't going to produce something of
quality, what the hell purpose does he serve. Screw him, let
him go.
For the scene to be as cool as it once was , certain values
must be met. Art, loyalty, and quality. These things must be
the first priority of every artist and everyone involed , if
the scene is going to be cool again. Everything else is of
little importance.The people who care and the people who want
to see the scene cool again must become the leaders they must
show the new people the way.
You are all probably saying to yourself that I have no right
to be telling you all this. Maybe you are right. However, as
I see it. I am just a person who found the scene almost a
year ago , someone who has seen the scene at its peak and is
now seeing the scene at its lowest point. I think it's a shame
The scene was so cool when I first became involved and I
would like to see it that way once again.
All we have to do is try.
Is this done yet?
No.
It makes me sick to see all this. What is the point of it
all? Why does everyone say how sucky and lame the scene is?
Why, when _THEY_ are the problem? People like that destroyed
the scene, and you are just going to sit there and let them.
It is time for a big change. Something must happen , because
it sure as shit can't go on like this much longer.

--------------------------------------------------------------
[ACID-TEE.GIF] - I have to give CAT credit, he is an excellent
VGA artist and the t-shirt looks nice and all
but, really, who is going to dish out the $$$
for one of those things?
...........................< RATED 05/10 >...
[BM-EGOD .RIP] - First of all, Wolverine is one of my favorite
characters out there, and this RIP definitely
does him justice. My praises go to Bedlam for
blessing us with this piece of artwork. BTW:
Old school pics always turn out the best! ;)
...........................< RATED 09/10 >...
[EO-DEM1 .ANS] - Like the ansi, but what happened to his right
eyeball?
...........................< RATED 06/10 >...
[GS-EVIL .ANS] - This ansi is well done, blends well with the
font, and makes sense ..it has an 'evil' mood
to it ..feel free to make me an ansi anytime!
...........................< RATED 06/10 >...
[KO-KOSH .GIF] - Terrific rendering .. Excellent light casting
and shadow-ing. What more could you ask for?
...........................< RATED 09/10 >...
[NIT-CHAR.ANS] - Although it looks like you pasted two ansis
together at around lines 6-80, the porportion
on the second guy's arm area and the detail
on his face is perfect!
...........................< RATED 07/10 >...
[P1-BADL1.GIF] - Woah. 'Nuf said.
...........................< RATED 10/10 >...
[P1-EI1 .GIF] - Man what program ARE you using to draw this
stuff? That's comic book cover quality right
there .. marvel?
...........................< RATED 10/10 >...
[P1-HH .GIF] - Happy Halloween. The coloring is good,but for
some wierd reason this just doesn't seem like
'p1' quality.
...........................< RATED 07/10 >...
[P1-LAN .ANS] - Is there anything this guy doesn't do well?
...........................< RATED 07/10 >...
[P1-PZERO.ANS] - The woman's face and the beautiful font make
this ansi worth taking another look at.
...........................< RATED 08/10 >...
[PG-GZERO.ANS] - Jim Lee would be proud.
...........................< RATED 08/10 >...
[SA-INTXC.ANS] - Hmm .. EE's face is pretty good looking, but
the font kills the rest of the ansi.
...........................< RATED 04/10 >...
[STC-ACD2.GIF] - The font is kind of weak and the dragon could
use some better coloring, but it has a decent
layout.
...........................< RATED 06/10 >...
[STC-RN .ANS] - Man, great job on the porportions and the
background.Her chest and cheek bones are very
well formed.
...........................< RATED 09/10 >...
[TRE-IOMN.ANS] - Nice pic .. i've yet to see a magneto ansi of
it's equal. BUT (there is always a but) the
font needs some work.
...........................< RATED 06/10 >...
[ZV-CCI .RIP] - Very nice, sharp drawing. Good coloring, and
a good font.
...........................< RATED 08/10 >...

This Acid pack was certainly worth downloading. The
VGA's by Prisoner #1 and the RIP's a la Bedlam really
stand out amongst the other points of the pack. The j1
ANSI this month, however, was rather weak compared to
Legend and Saga. Acid is still the most experienced,
knowledgable group out there, not to mention it was
probably the FIRST one to exist. So keep putting out
above-average packs, and we'll still love ya. -ph

EV-CC1 ANS Everlast Some weird red guy, at least it
is not a chic , and he drew it
from an angle.
EV-CLD1 ANS Everlast Chick looking straight ahead.
Getting old very quick but it's
nicely drawn and a nice font.
EV-MF21 ANS Everlast Bad proportions (The guys neck)
Not bad overall .. nice font.
EV-TNW1 ANS Everlast Another mad looking weird guy!
FILE_ID DIZ LEGEND Better than most diz's , just a
bit too much though.
FONTS04 ZIP LEGEND <NOT REVIEWED>
GL-IZ ANS Grimlock Grimlock is the man. The hair
looks awesome. Too short though
LEGEND04 ANS Neurotic Wow! The maxx and some chic
nearly flawless. Nice font by
someone else.
LGND-TEE GIF LEGEND HAH!
NC-NH1 ANS Neurotic Perfect shading, proportions,
250 lines , subject is way too
jumbled together near the end.
Pathetic font, however.
NC-PIR2 ANS Neurotic Another nice pic , NC needs to
find something besides bikini
chicks to draw.
NCS-AW1 ANS Neurotic/Somms Perfect proportion,nice shading
and an actual background! Butt-
Ugly font though.
US-PIR2 ANS Multiple Artists NOT legend quality at all,looks
looks like work from saga.

Pretty nice pack .. small but quality .. neurotic seems to
me to be the most productive .. I didn't like Everlast's
style. If Lord Jazz was around to help them out with the
fonts , we'd see MUCH better looking ANSi's. Glad that
Grimlock put in a piece this month, I'd like to see more
out of him and Somms though. -sb!

[EV-CC1 .ANS] - The guy's face is good , but the rest of the
picture along with the font is terrible.
...........................< RATED 04/10 >...
[EV-CLD1 .ANS] - An attempt to draw like Neurotic maybe? The
chic's face is strange and unreal. Po font.
...........................< RATED 03/10 >...
[EV-MF21 .ANS] - The shading/coloring is good .. but again ..
bad porportion and not enough detail.
...........................< RATED 04/10 >...
[EV-TNW1 .ANS] - This ansi is a definite improvement , but the
font could use some hefty work.
...........................< RATED 05/10 >...
[GL-IZ .ANS] - What can i say? Porportion is good, the hair
is beautiful, and it makes me think 'voodoo'.
(Plus it's for my board hah)
...........................< RATED 09/10 >...
[LEGEND04.ANS] - Excellent picture of the Maxx .. good picture
of a chic, but who is she?
...........................< RATED 10/10 >...
[LGND-TEE.GIF] - Very funny guy. Stick to ansi.
...........................< RATED 05/10 >...
[NC-NH1 .ANS] - Man o man .. nice ansi .. of course ..
...........................< RATED 09/10 >...
[NC-PIR2 .ANS] - DAMN .. she looks good .. i can't wait to see
my Neurotic ansi ;) Font could be better.
...........................< RATED 09/10 >...
[NCS-AW1 .ANS] - Neurotic HAM mixed with Somms eggs .. it fits
the plate perfectly.
...........................< RATED 09/10 >...
[US-PIR2 .ANS] - I don't know WHAT SB is talking about, I like
this ansi. It's got good porportion, the way
they colored it is good, and it has some kind
of background.

The Legend pack was generally outstanding. Neurotic &
Somms carry all the weight for the group, however. W/O
them there would be no Legend. Grimlock did a good job
on my ansi, but that was it, just one ansi. I think he
could have released 1 or 2 more. Maybe not. Everlast
needs to join cia or something. He's decent, but he's
just not Legend quality. Good pack guys. If you keep
releasing shit like this, you'll last quite awhile -ph

started leeching the packs and i wanted to try it out,
so there it was!
of course mk inspired me...and well... not much more...
kid krylon realy inspired me...
<sb> i think mk was everyones inspiration in 904.
<sc> well... he was realy mine because i see him everyday, heh...
<sb> yea thats cool.. what do you think of the current state of
the art scene.. better/worse? why?
<sc> well... i realy get tired of people complaining about how
people are just jumping to it and ruining the scene... it's
kinda' annoing all that pissing and moaning... there
have to be some artists getting involved anyways...
the same ones won't be around forever! but i do admit...
alot of people out there kinda' suck about how they
act in the scene... how they jump around from group to
group and stuff... i don't like that... i think you
should stay with a group and be loyal... but it's just an
opinoin.. as for me, i'm sorry i ruined the scene for
all you old schoolers, but i love the old school work if
thats anything to ya', heh...
<sb> great answer.. is there any one artist/group/thing you
can point out that has specificaly lowered the
standards of the art scene?
<sc> well, i could say some names on my mind.. but i don't want
to offend anyone, heh... i'll tell you later...
<sb> thats what emags are for! [offending people]
<sb> have you ever worked with anything other than ansi?
<sc> umm... hmm.. meaning?
<sb> rip/vga/ascii
<sc> hah! funny you mentioned that... i've been screwing
around with all of those...but they suck so hard, maybe
i'll get good at em' eventualy... i'm realy trying
RIP right now, but GOD! i suck!
<sb> everyone sucks when they first start.. but after a
while it will be just like your ansi.. awesome!..
<sc> thanks, hope so... i'll make you RIP one day, heh...
<sb> thanks.. lets see.. i was gonna say something but
<sc> oh c'mon.. what about the questions like my fav. color?
heh...
<sb> thats at the very end heh..
<sc> oh!
<sb> oh yea... whats groups have
<sb> you been affiliated with?
<sc> pharts, thats it... i was in it because pus was the one
that realy encouraged me to do ansi (i guess that's an
inspiration right there!) and he was starting the group,
so i said sure... not like anyone else was going to accept
me! heh...
<sb> heh yea, pharts was a good thing, got everyone working
<sb> good, before pharts nobody realy cared.
<sc> yea... i hope we release again just to show how good we
are! :)

Chatting with modeus khahn on 12/03/95 at 08:23p
(interviewer's notes: damn this was short, oh well i cant
do everything for the emag. Everyone in blade should draw
at least on ansi, write one article, or interview one
person for the next issue of BTH to be a success.)
<sb> hey man.. ive got 30 minutes to finish coding BTH
can i ask you a few questions and throw it in there?
<mk> yeah
<sb> alright cool..
lets see.. what have you been up to the last few months?
<mk> uhhmmm... hehe... well i was without a cpu for months
and i did not have enough motivation to sit down in
front of the cpu to draw ansis for a long time but i
think its starting to be a little more fun for me now.
<sb> thats cool.. do you think you
will come back to blade?
<mk> i'm not sure yet. i will probably draw for a little
while longer and see what it feels like and then decide on
what to do.
<sb> sounds like a good plan.. so whatever happened with AVGA.
why did you take it down? was that at the same time you
quit drawing?
<mk> well... i took the board down mainly because i got
sick of logging on to it all the time, and getting real
sick of the same old look in the ansis and shit like that.
so basically i just took it down because i didnt have the
time to keep making new logos and cosmetic changes to it.
<sb> yea i feel like that about my own board.. except i have
alot less ansis to work with heh,.. so what do you do away
from the computer?
<mk> heh.. yeah if i set my bored back up it will be with
a lot less ansis... uhmm... well i play guitar... and
just phukin party and shit.
<sb> typical teenager.. how old are you anyway?
<mk> 17 yrs..
<sb> thats cool.. im only 16 (for the next 2 months anyway)..
so have you started calling out again, talking to some of
your old art pals?
<mk> nah not really. just some of the same old local boards
that i have been on forever since the beginning... and
the dark half to get my obv/2 shitz back...
<sb> so your planning on putting obv up again?
<mk> most likely, but i will probably spend a damn year
configuring it till i get it perfect.. :)
<sb> yea thats cool.. what about lord jazz. werent you good
friends with him? what do you thing about this whole
'huma is now a pd board', 'lets change our name
to pumpkin head and join saga' thing hehh?
<mk> ... woah... heh.. well thats cool dood if he's having
fun... i haven't talked to him in a while... saw him on
irc a few months ago but that was the last time. i miss
him .. hehe
<sb> heh.. speaking of the internet...
what do you think about the internet? is it good for the
'scene' or is it killing it like some people claim?
<mk> i don't know... i hate that word scene.. i really don't
care what happens to whatever it is... i just like
looking at cool ansis.. heh
<sb> heh.. simple philosophy..well is there anything you
want to add? i cant think of anything else to ask ya and i
got to get back to work.
<sb> heh
<mk> hmm.. nah... im good... hehe
<sb> alright cool.. make sure to call back tommorow and grab
the 3 meg blade pack! hah
<mk> ok. coolio
<sb> talk to ya later.
<mk> lighter

December Review Team : Pushead, Shivan Bastard
All November 1995 Art/Ansi Packs reviewed.
Sorry for the lack of an ansi scroller but its the first
issue, and its the best we could do in short notice. A
working Ansi scroller is at the top of the list of
improvements for BTH numba' three.
oh yea, if ya dont like our choices, fuck you! =)
