last minute reviews - january 1999

engine #1
A new group sprung up in the first month of the new year. Although not very much, it is very good for a first pack. The two hirez artists featured have a very HRg-ish style - abstract and dark (may be Russians are like this? ;). It's simple, yet very strong art, expressing serious feelings (for example scr-ide.jpg that says "suicide"). Look out big-guys, here's a group with potential!

score: 6

purg #21
With no exception all work is "filter abused" in this pack. All logos could be reproduced, being realistic, in less than 30 minutes with one or two exceptions. The logo design is non-existent. These artists must only be doing this for fun, for themselves. It's definitely not for showing others how good they are.

score: 2.5

rebelart hirez #2 - final pack
It's a decent pack with lots of guests and all. BlueDevil have helped out with one of his classical Bryce pics. One pretty "funny" idea is the rendered pic of a hand of a dead guy and a gun, with the a suicide note signed "Rebelart". Technically mediocre, but a good idea. Otherwise the pack is of average quality, with very few pics.

score: 5
