Earlier this month a party took place in Wroclaw, Poland.
This party was Horizon 2000.
Today you can get the entries from the graphical compos at Horizon
right here on the GFXZone!
And you definately should watch them because the average quality of the graphics is high.....
Lazur entered the compos with two pieces of art,
Io & Zoltan put up their share with traced graphics and
Dzordan contributed a total of three (!) masterpieces.
But this party also has a lot of quality graphics by people you have probably never heard of before!
Btw, could this be the first party ever where Lazur actually won a graphics compo? :-)

GFXZ ANNOUNCEMENT
|
|
A new time has come.. I have now been the main editor of GFXZone since 1996. This has been a good time for me
and I have enjoyed see the site becoming bigger, better and more popular. As GFXZone improves, it also
requires more and more time, which is something I'm having less and less of.. and therefore I had to
resign from my editorial post. I have been very busy for the past many
months, and I'm sorry about all the emails from you which I did not reply to.
Anyway, the bright side of this story is
that NdK, who has been
the co-editor of GFXZone for over 1 year and has been part of the team for over 2 years, is taking over the editorial
tasks. Which means that from now on NdK is the main editor of GFXZone! Congratulations and good luck :)
(I will still be involved but on a much smaller scale)
BTW, we are always looking for new staff members so If you are
interested in making GFXZone even better write NdK a mail. We especially need a new archive maintainer, somebody who
will gather images from recent party compos.

This week Wishbone brings us the tenShu interview.
His gallery is on it's way as well. BTW, have you seen the heated debate on the
GFXZone forum about the Scanning/retouching?
What do you think about it? You don't need to register to give your opinion :)

If you only want to see nice and cute graphics then you definately do not want to
check out our latest addition to the GFXZone: Razorback.
His graphics are seriously dark and gloomy!
The interview the GFXZone
had with Razorback gives you a good overview of himself and his graphics. Did you know
for example that he is creating all his scene graphics on an Amiga?
There are very few pictures in his gallery that do not contain a demon in some form or
another, so if you have a weak heart or any sort of objection to this kind of graphics,
you should not visit his gallery

Making of Shadows of Reality is a detailed walk through,
written by Der Punkt, about the creation of the
Shadows of Reality pic.
BTW, we just got an email from a happy Der Punkt, here is what he wrote us:
"..After the interview on gfxzone, I had an offer from
Eclipse Ent./Austria.
Further more, Rogue Ent./Dallas was interested in me,
and so was Discreet Monsters/Germany.
But something else came up as well.
Have you heard of Serious Sam, a game that was
proclaimed as DL hit of the year, and the "a game
thats worthy of calling it a doom sequel" =)
Well, it turned out it was Croatian developer, that
was under my nose for 5 years =)))
So, nevertheless, I contacted them immidiately, and I
was hired as Character Designer and skin artist =))
So, I don't have to leave Cro, we'll have a kickass
publisher (can't say which one), and a game that has a
future as bestseller.
Anyways, take a look at www.croteam.com
-note- the engine is done from scratch
Damn, I am happy =))))
take care,
dP"
Now, is this great or what?! :)>

Today the GFXZone brings you a couple of new archived galleries. We have two new archives
for the Czech Amiga party Apocalypse 2000.
The winning picture in the 2D compo (962KB)
by Slayer won that compo with over twice as many points as the runner-up!
In the trace compo (1394KB) the difference between
number one and two was even bigger! Here the winner is a very good trace by Zoltan.
The icing on today's graphical cake is an archive that has the entries for the C64 graphics compo at
Mekka & Symposium 2000!!
It never stops to amaze me how incredibly cool C64 graphics are. Seeing is believing, so download
the archive here (274KB). Some highlights
in the archive include pictures by Rayden, Cyclone & Deekay!
