[ACiD] Artist Membership Application   by Acid Productions

======================================================================== [ACiD] Artist Membership Application <ACiD> Productions ======================================================================== Introduction: Thank you for considering membership in ACiD, the greatest and most popular Art Creating Group ever! ACiD is a group which is comprised of a select few of the most talented computer artists in the world. Unfortunately, not everyone has the talent required to become an ACiD member. Many inferior artists rely on an acquired skill when creating their art. Many times this skill is derived from much practice and many times "borrowed" ideas from the artwork of others. These are NOT the types of artists that ACiD is looking for. ACiD is looking for people with not only SKILL, but TALENT and ORIGINALITY in their artistic creations. ANSi/VGA is art just like any other. If you are serious about your art, and have the skill, talent and originality that it takes to create professional looking art, then you may have what it takes to be an ACiD member. Of course, you'll have to prove you have what it takes to be an ACiD member. The following application will help ACiD to decide whether or not you will be a member. Please fill it out COMPLETELY, leaving NO BLANKS whatsoever. If you leave omissions or answer questions dishonestly, your application will be discarded no matter how good your art is, so please be honest and thorough. - ACiD Staff ======================================================================== I.
