ld_lor pic savagecow fixing anvilhed additional fixing + e snot electric pictures epicenter issue #1 Welcome to the first issue of epic the group also known as project one orgasm neon etc ) Just sit back and enjoy a group that isnt afraid to try things new to learn more about ansi and admit our mistakes no more bullshit epic is more like a workshop for members to release and learn (by public review) as well as teach (by releasing in the first place ) While this debut pack isnt the powerhouse we have all come to expect from new groups I think the art holds its own due to its originality and sheer diversity with BINs logos 25 liners full length pics various styles etc What I hope is that you as a viewer feel this pack was worth the download and that every artist in epic is proud of what he s released even though we all know there s room for improvement Learning is an integral part of this group Now onwards ad infinitum argon a moment for us many of you have observed me acting quite weird lately i e arg_lag has joined channel #ans spearfx sup arg funk-eOOO argonnizer arg_lag amoogie agoo bagoo!
