| good day kind reader, and thank you for obtaining the skills ascii review. |
| this was originally going to be a fun, all out, elite, #ansi-like ascii |
| scene magazine, with contributors, distro sites, headquarters, gay stuff, |
| and the like, but that idea tired me, so i thought i'd just review some |
| of the latest ascii packs. thank you for listening, and enjoy the mag. |
| as far as reviews go, they don't seem to be out of ten, now do they? =] |
| basically 6 is average, 5 is below average, and 7 is above. anything |
| higher is rarely awarded. |
| What you are viewing the the third revision of this magazine, the revision |
| that finally got released. Expect bigger and better things in further mags.|
| Contributors are welcome, in the way of art, rumors, et cetera. |

R E M O R S E T W E L V E
ack-0697 asc 7 With an not a 'perfect' colly format, it's still hard.
axb-rmrs asc 7 Newschool shapes with oldschool outlines, aXB proves a
formidable force in both mediums with this quality pic.
bds-* asc 6 Skilled oldschool, nice shaping.
c4-sign asc 6 Messy enough to be called a winner.
cg-0697 asc 5 These logos shoulda been taken further, comeon maing..
cn-rmrs asc 6 The mob always on their job! Bubbly, and good.
cn-p42 asc 6 Cain's bubbles with Maestro-like fading, skillish.
cr-ascii asc 7 Chris Robin just doesn't follow any standards, which
is what makes his ascii so damn good.
jak-avj asc 8 Not only my hands down favorite acidjack logo, but
probably one of the best newschool's ever.
mk-cult asc 8 Apparently mrk is back, and in a big way.
mk-os asc 7 A damn good use of oldschool for pic formation.
mt-high asc 5 Shouldn't have been in the pack <g>
nm-mny asc 7 Quite possibly Necromancer's best ever.
nm-rms1 asc 7 Quite possibly Necromancer's best ever.
nu-kwest asc 5 Not detailed enough for my liking, draw pics again.
r-eden txt 6 Madstyle.
r-money txt 7 Jesus, this is as long as one of those Abba-Zabba bars,
and it's good the whole way down.
sp-named asc 6
t2-nm1 ans 7 An accurate pictorial of Necromancer's bawlz. An ansi
pic that snuck into the pack + an ascii font. Verygood.
tm-group asc 6 It's called 'Remorse', for next time, nice logo.
tm-mci asc 7 Whoa, it pops out like those old cartoon books, badass.

Presenting the new Cult of the Remorsed. It seems that ascii artists are
accepted as real artists now. We've graduated from "A bunch of wackos"
to "Cult". Soon it will be mainstream.. and I shudder to think of what
will happen then. Anyways, for those of you unfamiliar with my work, this
is my old style. It takes forever to draw.. (this one took 1 week, and
you'll notice that it's exactly the size of the Pico editing screen ;)

5q-srl5 asc 6 Nice oldschool. If nothing else, Squish is consistent.
74-futa asc 6 Very nice pic, font was alright.. .
arl-rara asc 5 The shaping skills just aren't there.
axb-col7 asc 7 aXB is good; Very good.
axb-sr04 asc 7 Now this is just badass, I'm afraid to see stuff like
this colored.
bd-salt ans 5 Colored too much like Absent Spinster's style.
cm-one ans 6 Nice looking. Also pumpking looking.
dx-soq ans 6 The best of dx's colored newschools.
gv-s05os asc 6 Nice, but too mHz-ish. =]
gv-tnp ans 6 Good coloring skills.
hzn-srl5 asc 6 Whoa, there's no food on my plate, and I don't remember
eating.
mp-colly asc 4 If every 2 logos I released was a 'colly', I'd be on my
92,479th or so. The coloring didn't look done.
prf-dep asc 6 Not a bad font from a guy who is primarly a pic artist.
purify cap 0 Making fun of your own members couldn't be too good.
sar-nd asc 6 The guy with the hat in the background is pretty cool.
tg-mf asc 6 Tango accomplishes that 'amiga look' in a pc world.
tn-cokrk txt 6 It's good to see that tzeentech's style has evolved into
something... =] Not bad.
tr-grngu asc 4 This is a dupe, from an older OiL pack.
tr-joint asc 6 Good, but looks unfinished.
