PEACHY× OF× MASQUE× 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!
