Interview with Peachy/MASQUE-TRSI



               with  Peachy/MASQUE-TRSI

                              by Friendly/Damian


 Friendly:  Let's begin with telling us something about yourself and your career!
 Peachy:  Jauser, I'm Magnus, some might know me as Peachy/Masque-TRSI. Right now I'm 21 years old. My hobbies are NO SPORTS MOVEMENT, pool and cinema. I got my AMIGA 1988 after being on C-64!!! My first group was VAMPS, a very local 'group'. Later I joined Action where I met TSM and Warhead/PANIC. After being a short time in Surprise Productions/TRSI we splitted up 'coz of too many people in that group. Now we founded MASQUE in TRSI to show that we are pure legal and have nothing in common with the illegals but the demo-section!

 Friendly:  Do you spend much time in drawing graphics or doing other things with your Amiga? How much time does it take you to create a complex picture?
 Peachy:  Well, there are periods where I spend much time in front of this soup box and in others I just don't want to see it, ok? Geeee, you want to know how much time it takes to draw a picture??? That differs...The most time I spend on SHERYL LEE which took me about 1 week. Others just one day or two-three. This depends on my personal motivation.

 Friendly:  Why Amiga? What's your personal reason to spend time at the computer? There are many other ways to enjoy life.
 Peachy:  I just love this machine! It's great. Have ya ever had an erection by having a nice time with ya dig in DF0:... Well, I never had (what d'ya think!!!) But maybe there are some masos who try to format while digging... No, I think it's a great hobby and for ya hobby you spend much time!

 Friendly:  Like everybody you have started as a poor lamer (Or?). Why did you try to draw pictures? Why didn't you learn to code?
 Peachy:  You might be surprised, but I can code! I think a real graphician has to know some basics of coding. So first I wanted to code then I tried something on Soundtracker and at last I prefered DPaint! In fact I still do some modules on Protracker but thats not good enough to release something more! First I have done only logos and fonts! Then I started on pictures!

 Friendly:  I find it very difficult to find a good 'real' picture to draw. Do you have the same problems? If not, where do you take your images from?
 Peachy:  Well, a lot of graphicians have a whole bunch of great fantasy books at home. Ok, it's great. Boris is quite good. In fact I have drawn 2 fantasy pictures One in Wicked and the Aars picture, which was originally drawn by Boris Valejo, but I changed a lot! Well I haven't got a lot of them 'coz they didn't interest me. Life is full of images. Also some friends tell me some good images if they have spotted one.

 Friendly:  The 'Wicked Sensation'-demo was a big success. Will TRSI continue to release productions of that quality or will it make again a rest, like in the past?
 Peachy:  I hope that there won't be a rest! But who knows...
Friendly: Speaking about the future, have you any plans for the next time? Please tell us how you think your life will develop (Job, Amiga).
Peachy: Well, after they throw me out of the army,hehehe and one year of lazyness I'll start to study graphic design. Maybe some more games on Amiga, who knows...

 Friendly:  You won the first place at the Party II in Aars. What did you think when you heard that you beat guys like Facet/Anarchy?
 Peachy:  There were several good pictures released in Aars and I was happy to win!

 Friendly:  How is the organisation in TRSI? Is there much friendship in the group?
 Peachy:  MASQUE has 13 members and is VERY good organized, so we have an internal BBS to have a much better communication. (Coding/module/pics/message sections) We have a good connection to the other legals in TRSI which are also 13 members. Friendship is very important! (And the meetings)

 Friendly:  The new Amiga 1200 offers new features, like more graphic-modi. What do you think about it? Do you think 'our' Amiga will have a chance against his brilliant brother?
 Peachy:  Well, I just have an A4000 and it is great but I wonder how long this one will rest for the A5000.There seems to be a big chaos at Commodore. A1200 is better in the new GFX-modes, but it will be surely not the last answer! Well, if the A500 will live depends on how much people buy the new and better A1200/A4000!

 Friendly:  What do you think about other graphicians like...
- Mack/Melon Dezign He did a nice slide and the one thing I like most are his colors!
- R.W.O/Kefrens Not so good motives, but his Monster from Tank-Art was a cool thing (Hi cougar)
- Scuba/X-Trade I love airbrush since I'm doing it on my own!
- Facet/Anarchy The one with the most releases and I wonder where he takes so much time.
- Hof/Movement Brilliant light-technique. Smart...

 Friendly:  How about game companies? Have you ever received an offer or if not would you like to work as a professional artist?
 Peachy:  I had some and I'm doing some games. Maybe there will be more in this way...

 Friendly:  Do you use any extra equipment beside your mouse, which helps you in pixelling?
 Peachy:  Well, since the Amiga 4000/1200 offers more colors it will be more efficient to draw on paper and use scanners...So if I have the money I will surly buy one! So besides my mouse I have an airbrush set, but at this point of time it does't help me on computer (But in future).

 Friendly:  Well, here we have got the last question. What's the name of your father?
 Peachy:  This is the best question in this interview. First I'd like to thank ya for this very, very good question! His name was Philipp (and so is the name of my brother...my sister's name is angelika...and the other sister is named andrea...my mother is named anneliese (hehe)...Hope this gave ya a great insight into my family...By the way my father doesn't ran naked through the house, hehehe...he is dead...sniff...

 Friendly:  Thank you very much for standing the answers! I hope we will see some more from you. Maybe some last words by the fruit from TRSI...
 Peachy:  Thank you! A big hip to The Masked Team:Fade One (Der Mops) Wayne (Die Kanalratte) Dreamer (BundiHundi) RomeoKnight (Der Knechter) Xray (Der Suffkopp) Virgill (Der Vorbeter) Violas (Huehner) Cueball (Der Brueter) Warhead (Der Arbeiter) Deicide (Der Wuerger) Tee Jay (Der Limitierte)... and the rest team: TSM, DoubleTrouble and all in TRSI. Big hihos to all Sanitys! Hiho also to all graphicians! (Die Leidensgenossen) Ace of bass rules!
