Fuel #02 - score: 7.5 out of 10

Mongi:
This pack is a bit confusing. I'm not really sure if it is the old Fuel, in a way it is. Two of the members, Necro and Lurps, are indeed ex-Fuel members Necrofiliac and Burps. This group is more of a demo group, as the pack also shows.

The presentation is excellent, with the real-time 3D interface and all, a bit of demo coding there. While it was nice to have a cool interface, in artscene standards it's taking too much space. The executables and interface art took well over 2mb!

There are only three artists represented, but they're all pretty good. It's typical demoscene art, excellent execution, but not "deep" as in HRg style.

Kirk has a very consistent style. I haven't seen much of him and don't know if he's able to do other kind of pics too, though. The ones in the pack have a similar theme, a dark and evil motif and brown colors. They're detailed and sharp, and at the same time simple and not at all cluttered.

Necro's work are all already released in iCE (now I understand why his pics are signed both iCE and Fuel). All except for one pic. It's a fantasy pic of a girl being chased by a giant spider. If I didn't know Necro better, I would think it's ripped. But Necro is good, and probably able to make such art. It's extremely detailed and look very realistic. A really professional piece of fantasy art.

Nytrik's work is very good too, with a lot of detail and very imaginative. I think they are originally smaller and have been resized, so the pictures are very blurry. Pity. Otherwise it's just good pictures.

score: 7.5
