I almost made it into iCE when MiRAGE (formerly DREAM? I think.. Shihear Kallizard ran it) merged, but I think I was inactive at the time and I really wasn't an iCE-level artist). But I have no copies of my old art and I have never found any online so time to start digging through these.
Mirage, that sounds familiar. My impression was ACiD and iCE were the two top groups and you had to be pretty good to get in. Everything was tenebristic because of the way the ansi colors mixed (had no idea what tenebrism was) and the subject matter was almost entirely games/comics characters.
Well apparently DREAM (which was a WWIVnet based ANSI group led by Shihear Kallizard) became LTD, or split into LTD and something else.. I was able to find a few of my works for LTD on sixteen colors and they are pretty bad.
