hello and thank you for your interest in becoming a member

usually people want to become a member so that they can post their work and get feedback on it. sometimes people want to become a member because they are just a fan of art and would like to give feedback for the artists. both these types of people are welcome. the application process is just a screening measure to keep people who would take advantage of an open signup process and start posting undesired content. basically if you have any interest in being an active member of the site you *will* be approved for a membership - so go ahead and apply!

the application process is simple and you only need the following to be approved:

- a member name you would like to use
- a valid email address
- a reason you would like to be a member of the site
- at least one example of work you do or work you enjoy
- references are optional
