  64.       Controversy surrounded the release of Skills Issue Three, over
  65.       -shadowing events such as the Tyson-Holyfield fight.  It seems
  66.       that a few people felt that a certain named-after a  breakfast
  67.       food ascii group was wrongfully left out of the  "Top Five Big
  68.       Ballers of the ASCII Scene" section last issue.    Allow me to
  69.       explain.  I write Skills for free, and on my own time.   Noone
  70.       is forced to read it, nor do I charge for it.  I refuse to cen
  71.       sor myself to keep people happy; Human society has come far be
  72.       yond that. Then again, I AM only human, and it's possible that
  73.       I let my personal opinions influence what is entered into that
  74.       text file I call Skills.  I will not apologize for such an omi
  75.       ssion, what's done is done.  I shall only say that in the futu
  76.       re I will continue in a Lexus-like relentless pursuit of perfe
  77.       ction, to deliver the highest quality ascii magazine possible.
  78.  
  79.       In other news, I'm very happy with the progress of Skills, and
  80.       I'd like to extend thanks to those select few who have contrib
  81.       uted in some way,  with either art or articles, to make Skills
  82.       the best magazine possible.   There, that was positive enough.
  83.       Thanks for obtaining Skills 4, enjoy the mag.

  102.        As with rap music's East/West Coast rivalry, hate between Amiga
  103.        and PC-ASCII artists exists in the ascii scene.   This  is  not
  104.        competition,  which is a type of  rivalry that drives the other
  105.        side to produce higher quality art, but it is outright hate and
  106.        disrespect for each other's artform,  treating PC-ASCII and Ami
  107.        ascii as if they were as different as ANSI art &  VGA.  The tru
  108.        th is, many so-called European Amiga artists used PCs to create
  109.        their art,  and many PC artists recommended that you view their
  110.        art in 80 x 50 line mode, and use AFS.COM,  which simulates the
  111.        font and character set that an Amiga uses. Who is to say what's
  112.        the correct platform to view and draw ascii? I consider all asc
  113.        ii art to be the same, and rarely change resolution/char set to
  114.        view.   Amiga artists often complain that  PC artists rip their
  115.        "styles";  PC artists often claim that Amiga artists have don't
  116.        have any style at all,  and just release boring outlines.  Will
  117.        this rivalry end with the death of 2  representative artists as
  118.        it did with rap's East/West Coast war,  or will peace be  made,
  119.        joints be drawn,  and groups collies be unbanned on bot & bbses
  120.        everywhere? Only you can decide the future of our ascii artform.

  217.    axb-ac01 asc   7   I like the sad looking eyes.
  218.    axb-col8 asc   7   Nice logos, making use of aXB's oldschool outlines.

  224.    bj-clus  ans   5   Umm, No.  At least an originality attempt was there.

  226.    d13-rmrs asc   7   Lots of odd detail makes this nice.

  228.    fr-kwest asc   8   Now this is the real shit, nice coloring.
  229.    fr-pic2  asc   8   Badass pic, good use of small amounts of color.
  230.    gdr-rmrs asc   8   You have to look twice, but this is a really good char.
  231.    gdr-snf  asc   8   Whoa, nice 23 liner ascii, reminds me of eerie ansi.

  421.    5q-code  asc   7   Pretty good.
  422.    74-bloom asc   7   The pic was REAL nice, but the logo dragged it down.
  423.    aoh-odel bin   8   I liked this a lot, especially the shading method.
  424.    bio-fong asc   6   Not bad, but nothing special.

  428.    bs-cc    asc   7   Rough, but still cool. Who is this guy?
  429.    gv-occi  txt   6   Original, but ugly. And, I didn't QC your work
  430.                       because of your "rebellious political messages", I QC'ed
  431.                       it because it sucked. Stop rationalizing, moron.
  432.    [ mHz ] -- I've seen two versions of this colly, the first being formatted
  433.               for Serial.  I feel your previous intro was more appropriate.

  440.    ns-tank  col   7   I like this stuff. It's pretty original, for oldschool.
  441.    [ mHz ] -- Yeah, but more original would have been even better. =]
  442.    par-anal asc   7   Not great for pariah (too bland), but still a good ascii.
  443.    pr-357mm asc   9   Shit, prodigy is a god, period.
  444.    [ mHz ] -- Agreed.  Prodigy proves he is easily one of the best/most
  445.               innovative newschool artists these days.
  446.    pr-agntz asc   10  Original as fuck, if this were in dollar signs, it
  447.                       would be bland, but it looks so cool the way it is.
  448.    pr-bloom asc   8   The pic is nice, but the logo isn't up to par
  449.    [ mHz ] -- are you on crack?  this is BAD ASS.
  450.    pr-jonx  asc   8   Hmm, kinda looks like endless, but still elite.
  451.    sh-ode09 txt   8   Not too original, but it still looks badass.
  452.    tk-ode   asc   7   Nice concept, needed a little more.
  453.    tk-ode3  asc   9   That is so badass looking. I love your style.
  454.    tk-ser   asc   9   This is seriously a fucking elite logo. Needs a bg, tho.
  455.    us-acid  asc   8   Any joint between pariah and haji is going to rule.
  456.    us-purge asc   9   Normally, drax's shit is fairly bland, but with pr's

  544.  [->Note from Megga Hertz  ]  This guy has bawlz to publically state his true
  545.                               opinion. I respect that greatly, however I urge
  546.                               notyet established artists not to be turned off
  547.                               to the ascii scene due to negative reviewing. .

  550.     Hello, Discofunk 1974 here.  Bringing you what I think are the ratings
  551. and comments on the WORST ascii's of the month.
  552.

  554.  
  555.      in no way do these comments/ratings reflect that of the skills staff.
  556.      They only reflect that of the author of this article Discofunk 1974.

  881.     It's a common question, one that can be seen almost daily on IRC, and
  882.     passes through the minds of even the greatest artists.   The question
  883.     is 'Why don't the seniors of ACiD and iCE *DRAW*?' Being the heads of
  884.     such well known,  established, high quality, and long running groups,
  885.     One would assume theyd be among the best artists in the scene, if not
  886.     the best themselves.  The Skills staff has obtained two asciis,  each
  887.     drawn be a senior of a well known art group. The question is answered.

  964. <massmurd> So, whats your handle and tell what you do:
  965. <_meggaHz> My handle is The Lord God Megga Hertz the Kingpin (that's an
  966.            abbreviation) aka Bugsy the Don;  I draw oldschool ascii, and I
  967.            still mod boards.
  968. <massmurd> Cool.  Are you any good ? What is your past history with groups ?
  969. <_meggaHz> I've been told I'm alright =]  As far as the national artscene, I
  970.            joined up with Cia about one year ago, released with them for three
  971.            months, then got invited to acid!ascii, which merged into trank to
  972.            re-form remorse!ascii, which is acid's asci division, and where
  973.            I am now.
  974. <massmurd> I remember you when you started out as a toddler :) anyway, what do
  975.            you think about the pc ascii scene today ?
  976. <_meggaHz> Actually, you don't. =]  I think it's going well, ascii artists are
  977.            accepted as real artists among many, and the internet has helped
  978.            that, everyone running their own Linux boxes has really raised the
  979.            demand for high quality ascii.  But as with
  980. <_meggaHz> every scene, there is corruption, and enemies.  Or maybe that's just
  981.            with me. =]
  982. <massmurd> just you :) .. heh.  Do you feel youve come a long way since your
  983.            cia days ?
  984. <_meggaHz> Yeah I think I have;  I still love Cia though, I release with them
  985.            now and then.
  986. <massmurd> I see.. so, we know you draw oldskool ascii.. but i thought you
  987.            told me a while back you were going to start trying a little
  988.            newskool, what happened with that ?
  989. <_meggaHz> I wasn't aware of this. =]  I don't know, I do a little here and
  990.            there, and release maybe one every three months.  It just isn't my
  991.            forte.
  992. <massmurd> yeah. i saw :) .. so, tell me about your bbs, abraxas diabetic,
  993.            dialbolic, whatever.
  994. <_meggaHz> !abraxas/diabolic.  It's been up since 1993;  To be honest, it's one
  995.            of those boards with 1000 affils, and too much art, but I always
  996.            want more.  =]  Of course you'd ask while it's temp down.  I walked
  997.            into the room the other day, and I smelled something burning,
  998.            anyways, I gotta go pick up a new CPU fan =]
  999. <massmurd> haha.. at least you still have the house :)  How many users do you
  1000.            have on it ? And has it gotten bigger since you've become more
  1001.            known in the art scene ?
  1002. <_meggaHz> Yeah, alot of people like calling just to see where Megga Hertz
  1003.            lives. =]  I've been told the setup is better then istar, which is
  1004.            considered good, so that makes me feel nice and elite. =]
  1005. <massmurd> Yeah, Gunthar is a good modder :) Also, tell us about your life as
  1006.            your previous identity, -everlast-
  1007. <_meggaHz> -EverLast-, what an elite handle.  I had it for quite awhile, but
  1008.            the time just came for a change, I had to break my way out of the
  1009.            all powerful - -'s and arise as Megga Hertz the Kingpin.
  1010. <massmurd> Where did you come up with the nick mHz, does it have anything to
  1011.            do with newschool legend, kHz ?
  1012. <_meggaHz> Yeah to some degree. =] kHz has been a good friend of mine, we've
  1013.            talked voice alot ever since I was a cia nerd (he has cia roots just
  1014.            like me, and has that deep down cia love), and we talked it over
  1015.            first, it hasn't caused any problems, me being an oldschool
  1016.            legend <g>
  1017. <massmurd> yeah yeah :) So, who has inspired you to draw ascii as well as your
  1018.            style, and who are your favorite ascii artists in the scene today ?
  1019. <_meggaHz> As far as inpsiring me to draw, I guess the old kTS and remorse
  1020.            members.  Style, I didn't really look at a lot of ascii when I began
  1021.            drawing, so I consider myself fairly self-taught (which is why my
  1022.            shit looks so weird=] ) today my favorite
  1023. <_meggaHz> artists for oldschool would be TinyZ, Justin Hale (asphixia) uhh...
  1024.            I've always liked sparr's stuff, but he doesn't draw anymore, I
  1025.            like necromancer's older stuff alot.  Newschool, kHz of course, that
  1026.            fag mass murderer, Discyple, unS/maestro =] etc; there are a lot of
  1027.            good artists popping up these days.
  1028. <massmurd> <blush> :) so, comment on the ascii groups today ? There are many
  1029.            new talented ones popping up all the time ..
  1030. <_meggaHz> Yeah, I just hope some of them last.  The problem is that the same
  1031.            people are in every group, so there's no real competition.  That's
  1032.            what I like about remorse, we have alot of people who draw theirs to
  1033.            draw theirs, and don't get caught up in group bullshit.
  1034. <massmurd> TRUE. i never understood the point of someone drawing for 2 or 3
  1035.            competitive groups. kinda ruins the whole point of competition..
  1036.            bastards.. :) anyway, what do you do off the computer as hobbys ?
  1037. <_meggaHz> I'm kinda retired from alot of my hobbies, just getting to old,
  1038.            skating, video games etc, you know.  It's also dangerous for a
  1039.            person of my status to go outside without an entourage, but I enjoy
  1040.            running my Family business, and the life that goes along with it.
  1041. <massmurd> Sounds good.. :) Bring in the bucks :) .. Lastly, tell us about
  1042.            this emag we're interviewing in right now.. SKILLS .. how far do
  1043.            you plan to go with it ?
  1044. <_meggaHz> As far as I can, I like the progress so far, I've got more then a
  1045.            few positive compliments, because until Skills, there weren't any
  1046.            magazines dedicated to us ascii guys, just those same old #ansi
  1047.            review mags.
  1048. <massmurd> truuuuuuue ,..  im a huge fan of Skills too .. even though some fag
  1049.            writes it, i like the reviews, interviews, and in depth it has of
  1050.            the ascii scene.
  1051. <_meggaHz> Aha, thanks maing. =]  I loved the controversy over Skills 3 =]
  1052. <massmurd> heh. well. i guess there is nothing else to talk about, this is my
  1053.            first review by the way, thanks for being cooperative, and your
  1054.            skanky ass hsould draw me more of that oldskool one of these days.
  1055. <_meggaHz> Yeah, we'll get our madass trade on. =]  Seeya around maing.
  1056. <massmurd> Later.

  1102.         like _ALL_ artists to contribute,  not just one nation logos,
