..##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##..
So, let's get started with the review, according to tradition, starting to review
work from the end...
-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
9 Made In Ukraine VooDoo/XTC
- - - --------------------------------------------------------
Cnb> This is not graphics. And how shameful is it to exhibit such
shit? That's all I can say about this...m-m-m... "work".
Stan> I'm surprised, only the last place in gfx-compo. This
Shouldn't have made it into the graphics at all. At least the font
I drew it more beautifully.-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
9 Diskete Dimon/Licos/PartyZans
- - - --------------------------------------------------------
Cnb> Another craft, “honorably” sharing ninth place with
Ukrainian "canvas". It seems to me more and more that these works
were simply disqualified.
Stan> Just FU! I didn't find anything at all in this job.
you can find a compliment. Unless the lines are quite straight. Well
kindergarten
-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
8 The Great Sorrow Cannibal/Techno Lab
- - - --------------------------------------------------------
Stan> Scary! How could Cannibal draw THIS?! idea,
Of course, it deserves attention (at least - it’s there at all
yes). But the execution... At first glance it hurts the eyes
an incomprehensible mixture of colors. After the author's previous works I
I just didn't expect to see this. I really didn't like it. :(
Gas> Flowers and Canny are of course a complete mess, but
explained by a black and white monitor... In this work I
I liked the background - mountains and clouds. It can be seen that the drawing did not take
one week. Human figures don't look very natural
but here everything falls into place if you know that the person is drawing c
zero. Everything requires experience. In short, your time has not yet come,
Can...Cnb> Honestly, I don’t want to say anything about my work...
I'm just sad that the painting that was spent on
several months, turned out to be so bad after seeing her
on a color monitor. At my house, on a black and white monitor, work
looks better. The warriors choked in the colored background,
colors are too oversaturated and overused
textures blurred the clarity of the image, as a result we see
what happened. Next time I won't do this again.
By the way, the idea was strong: a warrior’s grief for a killed comrade
after the massacre.
-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
7 Vivat, Anarchy! Kirya
- - - --------------------------------------------------------
Cnb> The work is in the spirit of 95-96, but nevertheless fun. Technique
old and one feels that the work is not finished - everything is somehow
multiplication, lacks additional pixels, although,
Maybe it's the author's personal style. Punk with a machine gun and
destroyed buildings. Well, isn't it anarchy? The idea has been conveyed.
Stan> And this is funny, colorful and interesting. I liked it
the only thing missing is technology. A little bit of texture
play with flowers - and it will be a wonderful job. But everything comes along
time.
Gas> Oldskul from 1996... Everything looks pretty funny.
I hope these are just the firststeps on a long creative path
author.
-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
6 Druid Stanly Stall/Studio Stall
- - - --------------------------------------------------------
Cnb> Celtic mythology is reflected in the work of Stanly. We
We see a monk in harmony with the nature of his native place. good
work that carries a certain meaning. Color
the palette does not shine with variety, it is meager. Technique a bit
unusual by modern standards - we see something that is already unusual for us
high-quality old school, although transitions through the point on the folds
The druid's robe suggests that it is the work of our era. good
work.
Gas> I liked the drawing of druid’s clothes - how
it has been carefully worked out. I was also pleased with the accuracy of the author -
trees without unnecessary textures, no color boundaries visible. Reminds me
Monarch style. The main disadvantage of the work is that the flowers are rather weak...
Stan> Great disappointment after Forever and ASCii. Incomprehensible
blue squares on the bark (I draw in black and white and sometimes I forget
check attributes :) ). The abundance of textures on the face does the latter
simply terrible! Although the idea... And the background is painfully monotonous.
No, Kristay will not be surprised by this work.
-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
5 Magic Of Sound Kirya
- - ---------------------------------------------------------
Cnb> Here we see a naked girl sitting relaxed in
chair, and in the back there is a huge speaker (the only
an object somehow related to the name). Work enough
primitive in its essence, since there is no good technology, no idea,
there is no relationship between the name of the picture and its content
is being viewed. Tasteless and major. Although the author, a certain "Kirya",
we are not familiar with, and I am glad that new people are appearing on the Spectrum.
Gas> This author’s work takes me back to the good old days again
times of Enlight and FunTop... I wonder what will happen next
the author's creation?
Stan> Heh, you can’t even call the work black and white :). In general
a naked woman is nothing new. It's time to guess that the viewer
you have to take it either by technique or by idea. However, at real parties
it doesn't work.
-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
4 Abolition Zeg/Phenomena/Psycho
- - - --------------------------------------------------------
Cnb> Relatively normal work, capturing a character from
Japanese cartoon. The hair is well drawn. But no matter
less, no plot is readable, and indeed, above
The picture could use some more work. The color scheme is also not
It’s impressive and the drawing doesn’t deserve fourth place.
Stan>Athis is in the spirit of Demiurge Ash :) But, unlike him, not
It’s catchy in terms of ideas, but the technique suffers. Nice, but nothing more.
-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
3 Necessity Zeg/Phenomena/Psycho
- - - --------------------------------------------------------
Cnb> But this is not bad, I would even say good work!
Personally, I like the image of this pretty
witch girls with black wings carrying her into the darkness of the night.
This work by Zeg looks more complete and conceptual
is balanced (there are no voids or overloads), and the flame of the fire carries
Get some Paracels and Kristoph chips. The work is well deserved
second place.
Stan> I don’t even know this. Some places cause a burning sensation
feeling of conversion. If this is not a conversion, then just
great. But still...
Gas> Both conversions from Zeg require more work.
-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
2 Crazy Guy Newart/n-Discovery
- - - --------------------------------------------------------
Cnb> Wow! I even understood what was shown here! :) You know, there is such a thing
entertainment: tie an elastic rope to your leg and jump from
bridge into the abyss? You are rapidly flying down and when to the end
there is not much left, the stretched rope carries you
up. Cool stuff. :)This is exactly what I understood and depicted
author. Here we see the cam bridge from which the jump was made,
the surrounding nature and, in fact, the extreme sportsman himself.
Technique? Normal.
Stan> Original! The technology is not at an unattainable height, but the idea
good, I like it. Distorted perspective seems to be part of
fashion. The background is just awesome. Everything is in its place and looks like
one whole.
Gas> Cool! Just great in every way! That's what it means
a person is studying... Interesting, the author of cam took a photo for
drawing or found it on the net? If cam, the price of work increases sharply
;)
-------------------------------------------------------- - - -
1 Mercenary Diver/Th Dimension
- - - --------------------------------------------------------
Cnb> And here she is, the leader! A work that you can look at
say: yes, this is really the first place! Diver just
maniac! :) Pixel maniac. The elements are strongly felt
detail and this combination of old and new - drawn so,
as if from “branded” artists who previously drew for games. This
just crazy technique, completely different from the styles
competitors! I was simply amazed, completely dumbfounded by what
Diver managed to draw the pilot's face so well in such
small size, reserved for the face! And also detailing up to
the smallest detailsship captain costume (aircraft)
fighter?), also coloring the whole thing so that you can
to say that the work is almost perfect. Why almost? Because
There are no perfect ones! :) Very, very good!
Stan> Well what can I say. Diver, and that says it all. Equipment on
height, detail, overall composition. Although I'm inclined
consider that this is not the best job. Due to the attributes of the face
somehow it doesn't look right. But overall - great.
Gas> The best work presented. Diver achieved his goal - he
really painted a work in the style of Spanish artists
old games. No criticism. Everything is kept within the style.
..##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##...##..
Summing up Millennium, I must admit that despite
on the efficiency of the organizers ("party" soft became available in
the end day of the party itself), however, the quality level
the exhibited works and their quantity leave much to be desired,
far better. graphics compo actually turned out poorly,
without any preselection for those two squalor that were
recorded for quantity. I was not impressed this year, no! Not enough work
some of them are generally low-grade, which made Millennium from
human party, good party, another party from
Muhosranska, if classified according to Anbiliverovskaya
terminology. Bemaybe next year will be more successful?
We'll see.
