07.21.2006

After some bandwith problems, a couple more delays and more delays, Project: SPLASH 2006 initializes with an splash cover/artwork from Vincent Lai (NiteAngel) of aw8.NET.

A temporary Project: SPLASH 2006 section is also up listing a lineup of participants.

Robots can dream.

A splash cover before TheLair's 2006 Guest Artist Splash Rotation initializes.

First GUEST artist fires this 19th of July. We already have seven artists lined up for this so we're covered until... first week of September.

Please scroll down for more buffered news. You can also check the SITENEWS archives for a larger iFrame.

WALL Holder

IMAGE wall holder
uploaded for those files removed. I think I have said something about this already somewhere.

Wallpapers, artworks and illuminations are now re-linked. Well at least most of them... : )

Bandwidth Problems


07.05.2006

By now you have probably read about those bandwidth problems we have encountered last week.

Right now I'm also restructuring the wallpaper links which I am not yet finished with as of now. But I'm currently working on that.

The splash rotation will also be delayed by a couple of weeks. Hopefully we could fire the first round by the third week of July.

DEPTHCORE Remix and Repent


06.25.2006

Some time around the last week of June, DEPTHCORE released the Remix and Repent pack. Awesome pack it is. Go check that out if you haven't been there yet.

(Consider this a buffered site news since I am only able to publish it now because of... well... work : )

splash cover babes


06.11.2006
The splash cover babes are back!

Our way of paying tribute, and accolade to the timelessness and beauty of the female form... on the other hand, laying all formality and pretentiousness aside, 'here's looking at you kid!'...

Get ready to drool.

UPDATES


06.10.2006

Fourth batch of external transmissions uploaded. And a new batch of POTD as well.

I'm refraining from using other's artworks as thumbnails here in the site news section that's why you're seeing Xinxin in there.

Check the RenderEx section for more images of this Poser model from Billy-T Batlabs, Yamato and Daz3D.com.

Also... TheLair's Community Projects are being re-initialized. As we are doing this take some time to review and revisit the previous projects last 2001-2003. (Check the PROJECTS menu or the icons below.)

SEVENTH SENSE BEYOND... initialized.


06.05.2006

SeventhSENSE Beyond... re-re-initialized.

Some things are just too irresistible, too potent, too compelling to even bothering putting up a fight in the face of, all the better for one to succumb, and to feel the quintessential intensity of it all scorch your soul...

Gallery 11 will be unveiled by the end of the month.

This is a sequel to SEVENTHSENSE 2002.

SPLASH COVER archives updated.


05.29.2006

An update was made in the SPLASH COVER archives. This section holds a seven year history of splash covers that have graced TheLair. These works were created by pixelcatalyst, niz and a number of guest artists.

So far 79+ out of 155 items were re-uploaded and re-linked. Go check it out.

In a way this will give you a bird's eye view of TheLair's transformation through all these years.

Also... a separate contact form was created and a new pixelnews submission form where you can submit site plugs, events or share some links.

POTD 2002 ARCHIVES / This IMAGE used is included in those archives (Artist:  RoundEYE of EatPoo.com)


05.28.2006

Cumulative updates: POTD Archives for the months of April 2002, March 2002 and February 2002 are reuploaded.

These join the archives uploaded last week. (May 2002 and September 2002)

If you can't see the mouseover description, the artwork on the left is from RoundEye of EatPoo.com which was featured last April of 2002.

Also... the Links Database section is up. Though half-baked you can see a selected number of links in the 3D Metahuman links, FoxPro TECH BLOGS, Anime METAs (metahumans), Anime Image Vaults and Anime Artists.

The other sections in the link database contain one or two links though not as extensive as the links mentioned above for I still have to verify the links first in my pool list.

A new POTD and PSEUDOCAM were also uploaded. (For more updates scroll down below.)

One more... since the SITENEWS section is probably too small for your viewing taste, I have created a separate and clearer site news archive which you can view here. I created that section though for myself for future reference.

OK... it is 3:12AM already. I need to crash and sleep.

LithesomeICE Archives


05.24.2006

No one weaves words, rants, angsts as eloquently and intricately with wit and, yes of course, nice and light things included, than MY qs.

Her views of... and philosophies in life are encapsulated in these lithesomeice archives which we are reuploading in TheLair, which she herself HTML-ized (css... javascripts and backend stuff included).

I find myself reading them again and again (especially now that she is learning how to use white spaces) and being woven into the complex mind of a... woman.

(But then again... qs is a woman from Mars.)

And yes, I always do enjoy reading them... : )

I know you would too.

FEATURED ARTIST:  Chester Ocampo


05.23.2006

Chester Ocampo talks about art, his multiple personalities, M and Ms and his secret affair with his pencils.

A tell-all interview with Chester Ocampo, also known as elpinoy, TheLair's featured artist for this month which would make even Cosmopolitan green with envy.

And who said we're only interested in women (and pixelbabes) baring it here.

SeventhSENSE 2002 re-initialized.


05.22.2006

The SEVENTHSENSE 2002 (issue 020) re-uploaded, re-linked and re-initialized.

Relive the collection of amazing abstract art from 25++ different digital artists that was released four years ago.

BIG THANKS goes to Kevin of Shiver7 for the webserver space.

If you can remember this was supposed to be relaunched last 2004 with a new set of galleries but due to some email misinformation : ), it didn't pushed through. It lurks in that server for the past few months.

The POTD section also was updated. (Please scroll down for more info.)

POTD UPDATE AND ARCHIVES


05.20.2006

POTD section updated. Also archives for May 2002 and September 2002 are reuploaded. The image on the left is from Julie Bell which was featured last September of 2002.

I'm still in the process of reuploading POTD archives from May 1999 to present.

Credits go out to imageshack.us too for the image storage web service.

One new featured artist and interview coming up.

pixelcatalyst version 7 LAUNCH


05.19.2006

After a year of site idleness, 20++ days of sleeping around four in the morning and mouse whirring, here it is... Pixelcatalyst.Lair version 7.00.

Also this celebrates our seventh year online. Yes seven years... : ]

Thanks everyone for the support, love, spam and all.

Here's a longer scribble that holds thoughts about the launch and the history of the site, if you're interested. Here's a link too of qsez thoughts which were scribbled in the splash cover.

DEPTHCORE FREESTYLE II


05.15.2006

DEPTHCORE releases its 27th pack entitled Freestyle II.

Great splash... excellent pack. Three++ years of great releases and still going strong. Kudos to Justin Maller and the administrative behind the group/site.

Thanks for the mention... by the way. Now if only we can pull back the other founding members as well... : ]

SVA splash


05.13.2006

One more splash before the V7 launch. Of course the consistent splash rotation continues even after V7 is released. At that point artworks from guest artists will grace the front entrance of TheLair once again.

Enough for now... let me continue on the task at hand.

TEA SPLASH


05.07.2006

Three weeks of consistent splash cover rotations after a year of splash idleness. Congratulate me!

V7 creation scribbles updated. And the news post below too. MY apologies to those who click the link and found themselves trapped inside the iFrame. I fixed that part already.

Clicking the thumbnail is fine though.

Remind me to double check things... always.

I am currently working on a new batch of 'illuminations' (artworks and wallpapers) which will be released along with V7. The splash is a modified portion of it.

V7 Creation Process


05.05.2006

Here it is... the thoughts behind, above and below the HTML/GFX/version7 creation.

Now you're wondering what this sexy render has to do with it.

Sleeper SPLASH


04.30.2006

I told you I was serious about this consistent splash cover transition. There you have it too... the actual release date of V7: the 19th of May 2006.

I will also be releasing the behind the scenes section tomorrow or the date after tomorrow.

V7 in the HOLE!


04.24.2006

Wow... check the date difference between this post and the previous post below. More than a year!

Which means that previous splash cover did stay in front for more than a year too. A year and fifteen days to be precise. Which also means I have neglected this site for a year. AGH.

But if your attention-to-details are not fading yet from too much spam, you'll notice from that splash that I am currently working on VERSION7.

Yes... PIXELCATALYST.LAIR version 7.00 in its seven year online. That's what I am working on.

More details on that later for I will upload a section where I can scribble a regular update and thoughts behind the process.

Thank you... by the way.
