Issue #14 Released!

Rising_Dusk · Mar 1st, 2011, 10:24:38 PM

Welcome back to a new year, a new month, and a new issue of The Smog! This issue, our fourteenth, has been a lot of work for all of the contributors and artists, and we're finally proud to unveil it to you! You'll notice a brand new organization scheme for our index, which will hopefully make things easier for you to navigate, and a lot of very cool fifth generation and cultural articles that should sate your appetite for a good long while. I want to thank all of the staff that helped so hard on this: Swaggersaurus, Seven Deadly Sins, and especially Deck Knight. I particularly want to thank, however, our users for ever being patient and lying in wait for our next release. We live to serve you guys; thanks for making this such a success. Enjoy!

Looks Great Dusk!
Congratulations on making the next edition to the most awaited project (in some people's opinions)! It looks great and I can't wait to read it in full depth.
Way to go guys

Aerrow · Mar 1st, 2011, 10:40:17 PM

Great Job everyone!

Chou Toshio · Mar 1st, 2011, 10:48:30 PM

As one of the contributors who "dumps his stuff" and watches from the sidelines, I'd like to echo the cheers for the hard-working staff who make the publishing possible. R_D did a 36 hour cram-session of work for this guys, so please show your thanks.

Also, hey-- my first "serious" piece ever drawn for The Smog. :P

STEELDRAGON · Mar 1st, 2011, 10:51:55 PM

Faboulous Job everyone!

One of the best issues so far.

***Oglemi**** · Mar 1st, 2011, 11:25:29 PM

Huzzah and so forth.

Good job writers and R_D!

Engineer Pikachu · Mar 1st, 2011, 11:50:53 PM

This is probably one of my favorite issues of all time; great job!

UnhandledException · Mar 2nd, 2011, 12:41:49 AM

I loved this issue. Excellent job everyone!

smashlloyd20 · Mar 2nd, 2011, 1:02:37 AM

Great issue! You guys are all awesome (yes SDS, even you).

symphonyx64 · Mar 2nd, 2011, 1:44:08 AM

That Reshiram artwork... so good. Can't wait for the smogcast.

Precipice · Mar 2nd, 2011, 2:22:47 AM

great job everyone ^^

Awesome job on the front page Chou!

Flora · Mar 2nd, 2011, 2:47:50 AM

I've no idea if I'm to make an embarrassed face or a proud/excited face for this issue, but it's kinda a mixture of both that lingers in me. Still, I'll post I guess.

Thanks to everyone in the Smog staff for just getting things working. RD's pretty much our Smog hero (imo!), with Setsuna stepping up and helping with the HTML. Multiple thank yous for the writers who stepped up and wrote their respective articles head on - Aerrow, macle, Destiny Warrior, you know your name.

There are definitely many interesting and exciting features about this issue, including Chou's splendid Kansai travels, good advice about creating Warstories, and, probably best of all, the arts. From bugmaniacbob's annoying Gengar animation (which, I believe, was the first animation ever to be provided in an article?) to *Hen*'s cute Frillish, there sure are plenty of flavor in art here! The paintings of Ho-Oh and Reshiram are nothing if not works of a dedicated artist. That said, I hope you guys enjoy(ed) this article! (and ill definitely work harder next time!)

oh yeah, wake up erazor >_> lol

**Deck Knight** · Mar 2nd, 2011, 4:05:16 AM

Sorry for all my absenteeism this issue.

Also thnks Fatecrashers for the Smoochum and CHou for the resize.

Also I am award-winning, awesome!

Good work everyone, especially Dusk.

***Haunter***** · Mar 2nd, 2011, 5:07:32 AM

Congrats to all the authors of this issue of the Smog and a special praise to Aerrow, vashta and Nastyjungle for their RMT article :)

***Setsuna***** · Mar 2nd, 2011, 6:02:33 AM

Thank you, Flora.

Good work everyone.

Shinxe · Mar 2nd, 2011, 10:27:44 AM

Awesome work dudes! I always love looking at all the art. Thanks for letting me do another hit-and-run contribution with that Reshiram!

Atticus · Mar 2nd, 2011, 11:25:32 AM
