The third Anemia packet That just rings lovely in my ears I thought I would never be back with Anemia but here I am and I now realize how much I enjoy the scene when I have the time to dabble in it Anemia is at it s third packet and do I have some things to tell you this month around On top of all the news this month one of Anemia s founders from the Paw Enigma Merge has quit Anemia this month and went about his business This man is DD and he will be well missed Virtuoso will take over DD s job and his work will be well cut out for him as Anemia has many projects for the future to work out The three people running the Anemia half will now be Silver Blade Virtuoso and myself (MistaWho) We have a new toon artist in the group Tonto From what I saw of his work it was only toons so I will just say that he is a toon artist We need more of his kind and are always open to toon artists applications Don t be shy when you apply we have a very open mind when we are taking applications for the group This month s pack might be a theme packet Since at the end of the month is Halloween I am sure you can guess what the theme is Yes it s Cryptic Images and it might be part of the packet then again it might not I will leave that up to Silver Blade From the Cryptic Images work I have seen so far from Silver Blade and other artist it is impressive but I don t believe in theme packets that much I haven t tried out a theme packet before though so I have no idea how you will respond to this If the Cryptic Images idea goes through and you like it e-mail me at mistawho@zipnet com or Silver Blade at essbee@zipnet com and let us know what you think of the theme packet this month I would like to take this part of the informational file to thank AiM for showing me how I don t want the group to become Sometimes you will have mentors that will help you when you think they can only harm you (if even that) I now know how I want to run the group and it will be nothing like AiM Thank you AiM for helping out the future of Anemia in a very positive way Just when you thought you slammed us you actually helped us I would like to say that Mung and Locke have turned in some very nice work for the packet and they are some of the most improved members since they joined Thanks to those two members for their work Also to Virtuoso who I consider the next Cthulu in the small yet alive literature scene He always has something to write about and his presentation is an excellent example of what literature should be I am glad to be working with Virtuoso in the building of a new dream Anemia Although I don t remember him from last month we have a very decent ascii artist this month with A LOT of work for the packet His name is Nurumberg and I am not sure if we got him from the TMS Anemia merge or if he is a member that applied I know that he is very good at what he does and I am going to be happy to put his work in the packets for the months to come If you would like to read my short story The History of Anemia as Fantasized by Mistawho then check out the Anemia Web Page where it will be put on very soon Also check out the page for new Anemia packets and information on members and TMS The Anemia TMS homepage is very bare at the moment as Virtuoso is redoing everything but bare with him as he will get it up and going at full stream sooner or later Also ftp to anemia com for the latest in Anemia packets and other such related files I unzipped last months TMS addition in the Anemia packet I love their work and happy to have them part of us I think merging with TMS is the best decision Silver Blade has made thus far and I hope that we will acquire a good working relationship in the months years to come with Anemia SuperDave will no longer be putting together the Anemia packets but he will still be a huge part of the group SuperDave is a very talented ansi artist and an even more talented coder I am glad that he is going to be staying with Anemia I received a few complaints from people out on IRC that Anemia did not have Sauce descriptions in the September of 1995 packet I unzipped the packet and found this completely untrue as it kept the same professional standard that Anemia hopes to set in the years to come I checked out Neurotic s September of 1995 top pics and I think he has a very good idea going on It is very much like the top ten in UnderGrown but with a much more (and less biased) diverse crowd to pick from I think he has an excellent idea and if he does happen to read this keep it up He always has something to keep himself busy ) Silver Blade turned in a lot of work this month He never stops to amaze me on how much of a work horse he really is He runs the group takes applications and still turns in usually more work than anybody in the group and of the highest quality He is a true example of a leader and not a follower I haven t written much in the way of literature lately as that is to the fact that I am doing so much for Anemia I have acquired many fans and receive fan mail on multiple accounts It really does make a lonely literature artist happy when he knows that somebody out there actually appreciates his work Last month s packet was quite huge in the case of this packet not reaching last months size don t worry I do have enough work for a big packet but sometimes half of it will not make it through the quality control I am putting the packet together in the same general way with only a few changes Let me know what you think One reason why I have not written lately is because I think I have writer s block If you would like something written for you like your BBS or your group then drop me a note Please include the theme that you wish me to write about This will not cost you anything then again charging for literature (especially amateur) is pretty lame so I won t bother leeching money from you Mail me at mistawho@zipnet com Please leave your e-mail address and I will have something for you within 24 hours of receiving that letter and the literature will appear in the next Anemia release! People always seem to remind me that I make a lot of typing errors (or just spelling) in my works and in the info files It s not that I am under educated it s just that I don t get a lot of time to go back and proof-read everything I write Yet to further your reading enjoyment I will now go over every single piece of work I write and make sure I catch all the errors I can Just another way of saying that the crew at Anemia cares for you ) That s it for the Anemia news this month If you want to get a hold of me to ask me a question or if you want to waist my time or if your bored you can mail me on the internet at mistawho@zipnet com You can even bug Silver Blade at essbee@zipnet com Happy doodling The following text hereafter was added on the day of the release and it is important information PLEASE READ THIS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT DAMMIT You probably think that the information file is quite dirty this month It doesn t have a border it doesn t have a lot of things That is due to the fact that this was going to be coded into an e-mag if you will That idea was 86 ed as SuperDave didn t want to code the e-mag All the information is put back together in a very simple and working way I wish it was more organized but I have to release the packet within the next three hours and I have no time for this The Cryptic Images idea did go through It was very good for a first attempt be sure to check it out Now I can truly end the news this month around take care gREETZ silverblade dd eerie virt coug azrael lifetime cthulu conde valgamon kidkrylon doctahate nigletisthebestbot sinned soul stc neurotic locke mung crypter tkiller gratefuldead iodine everlast hiro ts smoothie tyme maytrickz asylum aphidtwix hellshock superfly barbarian madbombah doktah therestofyou gROUPS disco legend teklordz jihad katharis broken ice -mistawho anemia ss sb ! Cryptic Images In an attempt to further enhance our packs Anemia has decided to develop themes in some of our packs This month is our first attempt at developing a theme The theme we have chosen is Cryptic Images In the spirit of the month of October the name Cryptic Images has been chosen for obvious reasons For those of you who may not know these reasons October is basically a month for fun with ghosts goblins monsters and those of the morbid and dark side The culmination of this month is Halloween where several things are celebrated This is our first shot at developing this theme so there are several loopholes in this pack Not every single piece in the pack will develop the theme but it will be our goal to further develop themes in the packs we choose to apply these themes to The main feature of Cryptic Images we hope is a combined ANSI of several morbid and dark pieces of work I will admit that this hasn t been put together as well as we had planned but there is only one direction we could go with this concept and that is forward We do hope that you enjoy this pack This attempt at deveoping a theme is only another way to bring more variety and interest in the National Art Scene Even though Cryptic Images is a failure we now know what we must do to make it better the next time around If in your eyes it is a success God bless you ) Anemia s Plans As most other groups Anemia wants to only move forward The future of Anemia depends only on what its members make of it As Anemia s presidents Essbee and I want to make sure that every member is performing to the best of his her ability We want to make sure that every member epitomizes and grabs the essence of what the art scene means Anemia wants to entertain every single person who takes a look at our monthly packs That is why we plan to once in a while release packs that revolve around in a theme We are always looking to expand As Anemia grows older quality control will get tougher and members will be expected to put out quality art Anemia members are expected to grow with the group It is inevitable that we will relieve some members of their Anemia status but it is our hope that many status and help make this group one of the best around the scene We are going to let time take its toll and let time mature us as an art group Though patient as we are we will still try our best to improve and reach for the top Groups such as iCE and ACiD are very far and difficult to set sights on but with time we are hoping that we ll be up there some day Out with the old in with the bold First of all I d like to say goodbye to the very person who brought me into the artscene Dd Dd has resigned as a member of Anemia and one of its co-presidents to move on to other things He is one of the founders of Anemia and he has definitely been a big part of its success I have the honor of replacing him as a co-president of Anemia and I will make sure Dd is not forgotten for what he s done for the group I would like to announce the return of MistaWho the person who is the most responsible for bringing Anemia into the National Art Scene As everyone knows he left the art scene a month ago but he has returned and is back with a vengeance! Or maybe not Nevertheless he ll be back in quality control making sure we put out the best pack possible There are a lot of other people who have been released for one reason or another but I m not going to mention their names probably because I don t remember who they are There are also a lot of new members Among them are K-Os Spear my brother Xanathos (well not yet but he s vowed to join Anemia once he gets the art down) PhantaX and a whole load more or maybe not We welcome them into the Anemia clique and hope that they enjoy their stay in Anemia s ribbon of art packs Remember if you would like to join Anemia fill out an application and get it to us You can e-mail Essbee or me for more information Look for our e-mail addresses somewhere in this pack - Virtuoso Official Anemia Afro Puff New Leadership This month is a time of great changes for anemia productions If you have checked out the member listings then you ll notice that dd s name doesnt appear on that list anymore Dd has been with anemia productions since it s founding day and has been known to have some of the best logos I ve seen in the entire scene not to mention funkiest This month he has left to pursue other wishes of his an emag about music (computer or musical bands) Although we ll miss having the great inspiring ansi talent of him (god i feel like im writing a fucking obituary ) ) we must move on Now is the time for Virtuoso to take the spot as Anemia Co-President I hope Virt will be with us for a very long time in the aid of the day-before-release-oh-shit-we re-missing -artwork-rush Yeah you leaders know what I m talkin about ) Anemia General Information for 10 95 This section is for any changes for 10 95 new stuff and whatever else we feel like putting in here that doesnt fall into any of the other categories ) First order of business is the 09 95 packet I personally apologize for the mistakes of allowing just about anything into the packet This month is going to be different I guarantee that Now that MistaWho is back with us doing quality control things wont slip by as they did before And now there will be a music disk for anemia s ONE musician Human We hope to gain more musicians in the future and have a varying array of music in the disk Next Tms wil be releasing seperately from us this month but our merge will stay closely intact Theres a few reasons for me choosing to do this 1 People want to have the art and not the mods or the mods and not the art This way it can be done easily and for those that want both just grab both when they are released 2 Packets are too goddamn big and not even Maytrickz wanted to get the packet and he runs the Eastern HQ ) Second order of business is just where the hell did Anemia come from Many of you think you know the story behind us but there is alot to tell We come mostly from 206-- the lamest area code that I have ever seen We have a total of 16 groups 2 art 2 coding 11 are very poor quality art and that leaves just one group to lead 206 out of the hole - Anemia (Wow! sb knows math!#$@ ) Our main plan is simple- to get 206 out of the hole and get a good international standing Although alot of this is just a re-cap of what was said in 08 95 not everyone got that packet and so I m hoping you all get this one and read the information file -silverblade anemia founder tms ss
