Introduction Empty / Mr. Kite ty03... well here i am again,
for the second consecutive month with Tyrone..
i was quite pleased with the first issue's reaction..people actually liked it.
i was at the least pleased with it..but this issue should rank better among
most of the people that liked the first one..first off this month, i decided to
make this issue all Oldschool ascii..next month i will return to newschool but
i want to show off all sides of the ascii scene..and also just to let everyone
know anyone who wants to can contribute articles... there is no real member
list, and no i dont need Hq boards or anything...and now that all of the boring
shit is out of the way, thanks to everyone who did art this month around...mHz
for the old school interface and now, a shocking turn of events.... i have
decided to make my board local in my AC, 24/7 and thus i dont have tyme for
tyrone =) so..after much soul searching.. i found someone to take it over for
me....
Exit - empty
Enter Mr.Kite.
|eand now a word from the new co-owner of tyrone -
|3Woah, what am I doing? Do I really want to spend each month hassling people to
write articles, draw art, and download the mag? Well, I suppose I do,
otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to relieve |bEmpty|3 of his work. Anyways, I made
a few changes to the mag, like |dcoloring|3 the articles, totally recoding the mag,
and I have a few more changes in mind for the next release.
Anyways, one of the things I've wondered ever since I first saw this mag was
what |bTyrone|3 meant. Personally, I think it's an anagram for |bTry One|3 but I'm not
quite sure what |bEmpty|3 wants us to try. I can just see Empty sitting in |a#ansi|3
and offering Tyrone saying "|7C'mon, Try One, it's good for you. Everyone else
is doing it and you won't be cool if you don't. If you don't like it, just
quit. It's free.|3" It seems like a good idea. The whole purpose of Tyrone is to
reintroduce ascii to those #ansi fucknuts. Or maybe |bEmpty|3 just likes the name
Tyrone... read the |5Empty interview|3 in this issue to find out how much he is
willing to reveal.
Until next time, |bsay oh Narra|3!
Evolutional Art The Upright Man ±|2
Hi, I hope you've liked Tyrone so far. Heh hah hoh.
I was just looking through some late ascii packs, and I was noticing that
people were laying claim to a |a"|2style|a"|2 and, using their |a"|2style|a"|2 as a cover up to
introduce stuff that was not of a very high caliber. In my logos, I usually try
to make something that has a unique tinge to it each time. Try and keep a style
while still making your ascii's unique in themselves.. not just like block
copies.
|8History|2 lesson: the |3Chinese|2 empire prior to western infiltration could have
easily surpassed the then primitive Europe. Only problem was, they were
generally closed to the outside world. Western civilization was viewed as
barbaric and inherently flawed. In effect, nothing new happened. They were
content, but their creativity stagnated. In a couple centuries, the
"|abarbarians|2" came in, dominated them (using improved versions of their own
inventions) and guided the course of human events for centuries.
There was a president |8(maybe Roosevelt, I'm not sure)|2 who said "|7The only new
stuff is the history you don't know.|2" What he was saying was that history is
like a loop. World Wars I and II; the fall of Rome and the fall of Russia; the
Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution; |aTUM|2 having sex with his dog and then
with his cat. All of these historical events occurred because someone didn't
learn from their past mistakes. If there's anything that'll cause the downfall
of the ascii scene, it's living in the past. Refusing to experiment, to
explore, to see what you can do rather than hide comfortably in the road more
taken is always a tragic and fatal mistake.
If you |a"|2find a style|a"|2, good for you. Advance it. Experiment with it. Deviate
from it. Dont push it up the ass until it loses its innovative aspects. As long
as we're speaking about innovation and stuff, I want to talk about something
that is generally frowned upon in the ascii scene |1--|2 the use of color.
What are some of the reasons that people say we shouldn't use color because of?
Uhh.. I'll tell you.
|acons to using color:|2
newbies use it to cover up what they lack in skill,
truly good ascii looks good without color (maybe even better)..
and last, but not least: mrk :)
Some of these points are valid. For example, I wholeheartedly believe that
people who are new to ascii should not use color. It corrupts and disillusions
the person and almost always ultimately ends up in an undeveloped and immature
style. However, the con saying that truly good ascii looking better without
color is not quite as sure. |aColor|2 is another way to enhance the art. Some ascii
looks better without, but alot more can be expressed in terms of shading and
depth as well as realism with color.
If you dont experiment, you wont improve. Basically, once you are good at
ascii, you can use color as another challenge to overcome in expressing your
art. Another talent and another medium. Perhaps a good way to judge if your
ascii's are ready for color is to view your finished ascii in gray scale as a
test.
In |4#ansi|2, a common argument I hear is that ascii is easier to excel at because
it involves shaping only. Hey people, lets try color. inverse, mixed, whatever
you want, as long as it looks nice. And if you're not sure about the quality of
your finished piece, send it to me, I'll tell ya :).
Think about it, the ascii scene is already by far superior to the ansi scene in
terms of shaping, if we could shade our asciis succesfully the scene would be
completely different. There are a few artists |8(drax, khz, msd)|2 who do color
well, but they are pioneers. A full scale venture into this field would be
revolutionary, and undoubtedly would aid the ascii takeover :).
Thats enough for this issue, stay tuned for future rabid sesssions filled with
my inane ravings in the future. Maybe next time I'll talk about something
else.. |8(whoa, really?)|2.
Anyways, catch me on irc and enjoy the rest of Tyrone :).

Empty Interview Mr. Kite
The much anticipated, sold-out, standing room only Empty Interview.
Key: |3Mr Kite |2Empty
|3ok, for the record |8(and those of you who didn't read #1)|3 state your
name, group, and what you did for |bTyrone
|2Ok...well Hi..im |aEmpty|2..in |aremorse|2...and well..i created |atyrone|2
too let people know about the ascii scene and i thought it'd be fun to have
a ascii scene mag.
|3Is remorse the only group you've been in? Is ascii the only medium you've
used? |8(just basic background shit :)
|2Remorse my only group? hell no =) i started out in |agrape|2..the |ablind|2,
|apurg|2, |asurge|2...then i joined my first big group..|aCia|2...was in cia
for like...5 months..<packs |a38|2-|a42|2> then around pack 40 i got |aSenior
Staff|2 and i was announced |aascii coord|2 after |adiscyple|2 quit i was in
|afire|2 as well...then i quit both to |aremorse|2..and no..i do |avga|2 here
and there..i do webwork..
Oh yea..and i did internet stuff for |aAwe|2, and |atwilight|2
|8(i.e i ran bots)
|3ok, just asking ;) anyways, onto |bTyrone|3. When I first saw #1, one
thing hit me upside the head: it seems like the ascii parallel of |bUndergrown|3.
Was this intentional? or am I smoking crack?
|2I got that reaction from a few people..who really liked it..then again
some people hated it|8(coughSOIcough)|2. and yes it was ver intentional i
had set out to make it the best damned mag i could got the best art i could
find..etc...and yes..dont we all smoke crack? |a*|2snort|a*|2
mostly people liked it though..
|3ok, the second thing i wondered was the name. |bTyrone|3. Where the hell
did that come from? Is that the name of your adopted black son?
|2Oh..thats kinda funny..me and |ascott|2<|adiscyple|2> were on one night..
back in..april|8(when i first got the idea)|2 and well i needed a name so we
brainstormed for quite some time, then i said " How about |aJerome|2 " and
scott said nah...then he said " |aTYRONE!|2 " and i laughed my ass off..and
from then on it was always "|aTyrone, The big black nigger mag of the ascii
scene|2 ".
well maybe it wasnt as funny as i thought it was..
|3oh ok. earlier in this issue |8(#2 for you morons who can't count) |3 I
pondered the fact that "|bTry One|3" is an anagram for |bTyrone|3... what is
it that you |8(or discyple)|3 want us to try?
|2Damnit..your letting the secret out....ill let everyone know in issue 6..
the half year anniversary..untill then..you'll have to wonder huahahAHAHAHAHAah
r..ahem...
|3damn. i was really counting on the answer too
|2just think world domination one day at a time.
|3anyways, you're giving your mag to me, and going to work on your board...
does this mean you will drop out of the scene alltogether? |8(take this time
to plug your board too of course)
|2No..im going to try to remain active in my mag...but you will be its main
voice and have the same say i do..so basicly you can do whatever too it..and
drop the scene alltogether? nah...ill get online atleast once a month to
check in on the mag and give work to remorse and oh yea..the board's name is
|aBiohazard|2 - |a1-817-847-1237|2
call or die..
4 gigs online..
yAY!
|34 gigs.. woo
damn, i'm starting to run out of questions, what a bad interviewer i am.
ok... uh... quick! what color were the blue suede shoes?
|2green
|3yup yup
|2what color was george washingtons white horse?
|3trick question! george didn't have a horse, he had martha
so why did you pick this month to tribute oldschool? don't you think
oldschool gets enough exposure in this scene? ;)
|2Well...its a ascii scene mag, so it should represent the whole ascii scene,
and oldschool is a vital part of the ascii scene..who knows..maybe one month
we can do a |aamiga-x|2 art mag...
|3ok, lets take a look at the true empty: which do you prefer |8(to look at,
not draw): |boldschool|3 or |bnewschool|3? and what do you think about amiga
ascii?
|2i prefer newschool by far...newschool is a very versitile form of art..and
of course im more fond to it because its what i draw, and nothings wrong with
amiga..its part of our ascii scene heretige
oldschool has its place still though..
were would file id's be without oldschool
|3probably nice small 2 line descriptions that told you what the file was
really about ;)
|2this is true..but i wouldnt download it..
the only reason i download is too see what the file is i couldnt read in the
diz =)
|3hehe, well, i'm right out of questions, so, if there's anyone you want to
say hi to, or any last things to add.... do it now! you have 30 seconds
player #1:
|2I'd like to shout too John. Scott..monkey boy(necrom) omi, you and pariah
and anyone else i forgot to meation for helping me when i need it..doing me
art..
and blah
and READ THE MAG
LIVE THE MAG
BREATE THE MAG
BECOME ONE WITH TYRONE
|3cough cough, Tyrone is pretty high in carcinogens... drag carefully
|2oh yes..cant forget miasma
anyway..bEWM
|3there you have it... the man, the myth, the machine... he wanted to
name the mag Jerome, he uses periods more often than NWA has them, and
he went out with a bEWM.. he's Empty, and damn he's cool.
The Artist Empty
A poem...by empty of remorse and cia for my mag...tyrone..
The Artist..
As i sit here, weak and weary..
pondering over forgotten gwar...
i hear rasping slight hacking at
my bedroom door...
As i opened the door too the dark hall
i look out, and see a shadow and scream
and hide on the floor...but twas only
radman speaking of acid forever more.
as i ran to close the door to the dark
demension, to hide from radman and all
of his dementia. i slammed the door..
only to find radman at the computer typing
acid forever more.
As i struggled and tugged to get radman to the floor
while he wailed and type profanely on my board,
he muttered jibberish about lord..and then someone said
acid forever more...
And who should i find standing at my bedroom door?
none other than Necromancer saying remorsefully,
acid..forever more..
And now..after so many days of radmans pretending and
necroms defending i sit curled on the floor chanting
saying....HELP ME OFF THE DAMNED FLOOR!.

New Artists Sagramore
If you've ever wondered what the ascii scene seems like to an up-and-coming
artist, read on. If you haven't ever wondered that, read anyways. This is
a point of view not usually expressed because it is the established artists
who write the mags, and who release the huge mother collies with their
opinion amongst their art. There are two boats that new artists fall into.
The first is the "I Have No Talent and I Think That If I Rip But Do It Really
Well People Will Think I Do". Even in my few short months in the scene, I have
seen a number of these "artists" come and go. Most of them joining Air and
hanging out in #ascii just to be 7337 by osmosis. These are not the people that
I want to talk about. The people I want to talk about are in the second boat.
They have genuine talent, and need a place to express it. A veritable plethora
of individuals have recently talked about how #ansi-ish our beloved #ascii
has become. I fully agree with this observation. I can only echo the sentiments
of one of my biggest influences in saying "What if we end up turning off the
next Killa Hertz to the ascii scene?" People who have talent need more than a
pat on the back, and definitely don't need a bankick from the #ascii ops. There
are a few people who do help develop new talent, and the truth is that very
few of them belong to what is supposed to be one of the leading groups,
Serial. The intent of pointing this out is not to bash Serial, or Sargon for
that matter. My point is this: Stagnation. By being unwilling to help new
artists out, Serial runs the risk of never seizing any new talent and becoming
monotonous. Of course, there are a few members who are careful to look out for
and very few who are actively discouraging of new artists, but most are
unsupportive and/or disinterested. I won't mention the names of either those
who are positive or negative because my own experience with Serial has been
limited to a few members, and I would be sure to miss many people. The other
leading (and in my opinion superlative) group at the moment is Remorse. In
the respect of supporting new artists, I believe that Remorse has a distinct
advantage. Despite the stigma associated with the Acid name (which I think
is more a result of resentment on the part of the people who have not enjoyed
its success than of any actual feelings of elitism among its members) Remorse
has in its membership some of the most mature and genuinely gifted artists in
the scene. I have certainly recieved the most support in my quest to develop a
unique style from Remorse members. However, in both cases, Remorse and Serial,
there is a distinct lack of raw, undeveloped talent in their rosters. I would
like to see all groups, when a new artist applies who really does have talent,
not simply say "You have talent, but you just need to practice before we can
accept you", but rather "You have talent, and you need to practice more, so
let us teach you from our experience." This mentor mentality will extend the
life of the scene past the attention-spans of the current leaders. Only by
passing on today's knowledge will we be able to secure the future of the scene.
In conclusion I would urge those artists who have achieved well-deserving
seniority to select an up and coming artist to mentor, not just for their
benefit, but to assure the longevity of our artform.
