and you know exactly what I mean Hopefully Foliage packs will motivate people to draw (again) So far all attempts to revive the scene were done in the field of politics Foliage is going to try the field of art for this is what it s all about Foliage does not intend to be in close touch with outside groups- It will therefor never merge with any of these Dualing will be limited however not forbidden Excessive dualing among other things will slowly degenerate the team to the state of Remorse!Ascii and the like We do not try to revive the scene and certainly do not wish to become a part of its ghost All Foliage members must be artists and active ones An artist who fails to release for more than two packs in succession is removed As previously said asthetics is a very important value to us as a result I will not accept applications from oldschool ASCII artists I m looking for ANSI WHOLEtype (colored newschool ascii) and RIP artists who match the requirements above Again Foliage emphasizes art thus we are looking for pure artists in mind and soul Arrogant manipulative and ungifted people shouldn t join (what rules out most of the current scene s members heh) If an artist is not sure about his quality he is still allowed to join in assumption he makes serious efforts to improve I would though prefer having skilled artists instead Foliage will release even if it has only one member I don t give a fuck about the number of people recuited I certainly don t want to make Foliage a group of 50 members or more since that would be harmful Coming to think about it the optimal state would be to have no more than twelve (12) members Join only if you really want to and if you love to draw Do that by Emailing the following address Shrimp@hotmail co il or alternately catch me on #ascii #ans as Shrimp Remember- You re not making me a huge favour by joining I would be very happy if you joined but as I said before Foliage will live without you Assuming you ve read it I m going to remark a few rules that have recently changed 1 In addition to oldschool ASCII another medium that is rejected by Foliage is comic ripping Sorry POLYGON 1a Oldschool ASCII artists ARE allowed to join assuming they are blood-related to the founder (Shrimp) 2 We are in a desperate need of members Please join Foliage will NOT live without you N E W S Well there aren t any real news for this premier pack Nobody wanted to join the group except for my little brother who is only using Foliage as a stage to present his works in order for other groups to take him I chose not to kill off the group and accept invitations from other groups because I m hoping that this pack will attract different artists and make them join Who knows I also got my internet connection back so I guess I ll get on more often Another thing is that I m seriously considering to stop drawing ASCII I just don t like it Oh and there s gonna be a REAL picture of me in next month s pack heh Members Information Shrimp (Founder) Real Name Itamar Ben-David D O B 22 10 1984 Current Whereabouts Jerusalem Israel Joined the scene in early 1997 Served as a member for rCa CIA Awe Lettering Glue Odelay the revived version of Noname!ascii and until recently -
