Dolphin:   Please start by introducing
yourself.

Peachy:  Yes, what do I have to say???
Yes!!!    Yes...   I'm  pissed!   Yes,
after THE party III I'm pissed...Well,
after  having  seen  that MACK allways
answers  his  questions  together with
other   (rather  unknown)  graphicians
(like  HOF,  <<<  quite  cool  name in
german,   man!!!    I   thought  about
renaming myself to HinterHOF) I wanted
to  be quite original (and humouristic
like FACET) ...  but I better leave it
and  be myself and not change just for
an  interview.   So,  hello I'm Peachy
well known as Magnus-Heiko Hieronymus.
(you  see,  I'm  making friends...this
will be the darkest hour for all other
graphician (and who think to be so...)

Dolphin:   How  much time do you spend
on a full-screen picture?

Peachy:  I always need exact 2 days, 5
hours,  23 minutes and 37 secounds...I
HATE  that questions...BUT I'm sure to
be  the  fastest  of  these  bunch  of
'graphicians'...   ooops...no,  Groo &
Rufferto  are faster, coz of scanning!
(Hey  another  2 NEW friends :) By the
way,  who  are  they????  I think that
differs.   My personal experiences are
that  pictures with higher resolutions
are  easier  to  handle  and made in a
short  period...But all depends on the
personal motivation.  So I think for a
normal  (not  too complex) full screen
picture  in  Hires Interlace I usually
need  2  days...   Beat  that (WITHOUT
SCANNING OR DIGITIZING)!

Dolphin:    Where   do  you  get  your
inspiration?    Do   you   copy   from
allready exisisting pictures or do you
always use your own imagination?

Peachy:  That was it for the first few
pictures...I  think  every  graphician
did  so.  (and some still do so ...  )
What  I  call copying from books is to
take  the  whole picture and redrawing
it  without  changeing anything.  This
is  LAME.  Especially on computer...If
you  do so you can simply digitize it,
that's faster...this is waste of time!
Lots  of  'cool'  graphicians  do  so,
why???   Hey Faifax!  We have seen now
nearly all pictures of MARK HARRISON'S
'DREAMLANDS'  in  your  slide  show  &
previous  releases in RAW.  What about
drawing  more own pictures or at least
changing something on this pictures???
I  think  it is lame to draw just some
mountains  (HARRISON).   Mountains are
the  easiest to do...Why copyimg them,
even  if  they  are  great, hail MARK!
That  to Fairfax.  Some think they are
the  best if they just say,,,,hey, ok,
this  is  a  dragon  which I took from
BORIS, *BUT*, I made it possible...the
'background'    was    drawn   by   me
(hmmm...just    some    lame   looking
mountains)...It's       pure      shit
talking...(sorry,  but I take this for
making  friends,  you  know?)  If  you
don't  know by now who I'm talking of:
FUCKET...THE  MAN  WITHOUT BACKGROUND.
Another  lame  point  is,  if you call
your picture 'Not a copy!', lame, does
that  man  think  to win, just because
it's  popular  to  say so in this hard
times for graphicians???  Nevertheless
the   picture   was  lame!   Hi  Devil
(STAR?)

Dolphin:   Have  you ever been tempted
to use a digitizer?

Peachy:   Yes,  exactly  1  time  by a
graphician.   He  is  called  NAVY (at
that  time  VANISH)  He  is  a  german
graphician   who  released  some  lame
slide shows before.  He called me just
2  days  after the party, I think, and
said  that I copied it from BORIS, and
I  said that he is right!  (By the way
that  'WOMSNAKE' is the one and only I
copied from BORIS!  Then he accused me
of  scanning Sheryl Lee and so on...No
REAL   graphician   would   say  so  I
think...  Here is the TRUTH!  :  I saw
the  photo of Sheryl Lee in the latest
issue of CINEMA.  I liked it very much
and  so  I  decided to draw her...Just
like  every  other  FAMOUS graphicians
did  it  some years ago (of course not
on computer :) And just because of not
having  enough  money  to take models,
like  Boris does, I copy (if I copy in
recent months) from photos and compose
them  to  a  totally new picture (like
BORIS)  In this way I do it right like
hin:  He get some models, and composes
a  scenary.   Then he takes a photo of
it  and throw the ready picture via an
overhead-projector  on his paper.  Now
he  draws  the  contoures  and finally
paints  the  whole  picture  with some
imaginary  new  things.   I  take some
photos.   If  the thing I want to draw
is  too complex or a kinda human thing
I  prefer  to  raster that picture...I
Think  you  know this method from your
time  at  school.   Now  I  have  some
contoures  and compose the new picture
(with   or   without   rastering)  and
finally  paint  it.   At the rastering
some  may  think  that  the  use  of a
scanner would be helpful...YES!  It is
...   but  at  this time I still don't
have one, because the one which I want
to  have  costs about 3.000 DM...  and
that  is  to  much for such a thing at
the   moment.    I'm   just  a  bloody
student.  (Sorry for all guys (girls!)
for  not writing back a period of time
or  longer delays, but I just moved my
sleeping place...  Not under a bridge,
sucker!   just  to the towm I studying
right now)

Dolphin:   How  many 8*8 fontsets have
you ever painted in your life?  Do you
plan on painting any more of them?

Peachy:   Uff...hmmm  I  think  I have
drawn  only  4  or 5 ...  I don't like
fonts.   You  don't  need them in real
life...logos  are prefered...So I plan
not to draw any new charsets, coz it's
simply  slave-work....but  I  like all
kinda  abnormal (execpt MELON who seem
to   have   changed  to  real  LAMERS!
Nothing   about  old  times  with  the
french  releases like the Human Target
demo...But  this kinda new 'DEZIGN' is
not needed...I simply hate it) It's ok
to    have    phun    especially    on
paddies...But  in  a  way competitions
should  be taken a little more serious
(I'm  NOT talking about the GFX compo!
But the music compo!) People have made
something  special  and  shouldn't  be
beaten   for   it!   Vote  who  really
deserves  it.   I'm  still NOT talking
about   my   picture.    It   was   no
competition  pic  like last year where
all  was  planned.  BORIS was the most
used  word  in  GFX scene.  Also naked
ladies  and  dragons.   The whole shit
big  presented  (no small details) and
you  win.   - I won....Nevertheless it
was lame :)
















    
   

Dolphin:  Please mention some pictures
from other graphicians which you think
deserves your respect!

Peachy:     Well,    thats    hard...I
personally   love   some   pieces   of
Cougar's  work.   He seem to love them
too :) His 'Dragon Sun' from the paddy
2  is  quite  cool  even  though  it's
redrawn...I  hope,  Christian, you get
an AGA computer soon so that you don't
have  to  draw  an  AGA picture from a
simple  32  LOWRES  picture at a party
:).   Just  take  a  look  at  my  new
picture called 'Irresistable' which, I
think,  uses  at  first really all the
power  of true color on Amiga.  Enough
about  that,  the  flies may go now...
Besides  some  of Cougar's work I love
the  art  of  Ra, which is a kinda new
(and besides that HE is KEWL...) But I
don't  like his attitudes to scanning!
I  still  think  it's  ok  to  scan  a
picture   that  you  have  drawn  with
airbrush  on  paper...It's  your work,
why  not  scanning  it...especially on
AGA  Amigas  you have more colors, why
not  using them???  A HAM picture like
'Irresistable'   (again  ...   hehehe)
take  too  much  time ...  because you
can't draw in HAM.  You have to put it
together...   (By  the  way  after the
release   of  this  picture  -it  will
appear  in  'BLACK  ZONE'- I will give
all   drawing   steps   to  interested
people,   the   same   to   'Land   of
Confusion',   the   picture  from  the
comptition  in  Herning.  (I gave them
only  5  steps  out  of 30 because the
whole  bunch  would  have  been over 7
disks  I  think  :),  or what would it
take  to  spread  a  5MB  LHA  file on
disks????  And again, the flies may go
now...    Besides   Cougar  and  Ra  I
respect  the  work  of  Fairfax.  This
means  I  like  his  hard and detailed
drawing!   In  a way I don't like MARK
HARRISON  ...   so  if  you could draw
something  other  like  the chinese in
your  slide...your  work is kewl, your
simple  redrawings  not...Change  that
and I check again :) Why the hell does
your  slide  only  show the lame first
gfx  on my A4000????  on A500 it shows
all...Planned???   Hate  AGA???   This
are  the 3 graphicians I like and love
:)   OOPS   and  of  course  you  FADE
ONE...getting  better and better, hope
you  do  some  more,  forget  ya silly
sport   studies...I'm   in   a  better
condition than you :)

Dolphin:   Do  you  think  it's easily
spotted  if someone digitize a picture
and     then    participate    in    a
gfx-competition?

Peachy:  Yes and No ...  some pictures
can be spotted some not.  This depends
on  the  screen settings!  And because
the  last one in Herning was absolutly
pure  shit  (I  said them to change it
but lame people do lame things :) it's
not  that  easy.  Maybe you better ask
Mr.   NAVY/TRSI  he  has  THE  eye for
it...   even  if  I wonder why his gfx
look  now  much  better  then his lame
slides  before  his  call  (IS THERE A
REASON ?????)

Dolphin:   Now ask yourself a question
and answer it!

Peachy:  Yes, ohhh lord please give as
the answer to the mighty question:  DO
YOU    STILL    TAKE   PART   IN   GFX
COMPETITIONS TOUGH THEY ARE FAKED?  WE
HAVE   HEARD   YOU'RE  THINKING  ABOUT
LEAVING    THE   MIGHTY   (BUT   LAME)
SCENE????  IS THAT TRUE????

Peachy:    Thank  you  for  this  kewl
question...This  one  seems  to have a
higher standard then the other ones :)
Yes,  eehhhm,  no  I  don't  think I'm
competing  again in such competitions.
(the  audience goes ...  aaahhhh thank
god!) Simply because I can't stand the
stress...and   I'm   a  bit  sensible.
(ohhh  will  er  nicht mehr der kleine
scheisser???   sniff)  Yes  you  heard
right.  I think I'll never beat FUCKET
in  the EUROCHARTS :) Though I hope if
not  me  then please FAIRFAX (though I
hope  he quits just copieing, coz it's
lame) I think I will quit scence after
our  Black  Zone Demo.  Besides if you
are  interested:   This demo will work
on ALL TURBO 680x0 AMIGAS with special
ECS  &  AGA  features and it will be a
hard  disk installable...and hopefully
the best one ever (well it's of course
better  than  all Xmas releases) Thank
you  for  now  ...  Hope I kicked some
asses of some graphicians which was my
attitude ...  only the best survive me
:)  FUCK IN PEACE!  CHANGE IT!  CHANGE
IT!
