No thanks.

I'd be interested in something like this, hit me up

I dunno man, you usually see these threads fill up with dozens of skype usernames, clearly the rest of /ic/ disagrees

>>2597696
Sounds interesting; I sometimes draw furshit desu but I can keep that out of the group if it's not welcome. I'd love some motivation to improve for once; it's evident that I need it.

Oh look, another circle of friends jerk group where the admin probably is an underage faggot enforcing his gay rules and or never is online and never contributes himself. Then we have the pretend know it all waabo of the group who thinks they know shit. And then the off-topic twinkie eater who talks about their IRL to how many chicks they'll bang at the end of the week. And the one person in the group who has ethic (let me guess, coomi) who by the end of 6 months will be the one out of 3 people left posting art I bet your fucking ass. And then there is the stuck-up bitch who won't take any criticism and constantly leaves the group. And then, being the admin, the admin will open his asshole nice and wide and lax up his own rules because he is never online anyway. And then gives the admin powers to one of his friends who has been sucking up to him since day one and goes on a power trip making up his own rules, effectively killing the group by month 7.

I just saved you all the grief.

>>2597709
This is pretty much normal for any group full of artists. Ive been in quite a few and they are all terrible. You hit the nail on the head with underage mods being fucking faggots

>>2597719
I can assure you both mods here are of age.

>>2597721

Not OP and I have never been to any /ic/ skype group, but faggots like you are unbelievably irritating.

>>2597740
>someone fell for it guys

Friendly reminder that you're all not going to make it desu senpai.

im interested in joining but i havent really done any work digitally, since I noticed that most of the pieces that were in that imgur link were all done using some sort of program, is it okay if i do traditional work?

>>2597709
the only thing you're right about, is that coomi is in the group

>>2597809
80% of what I said is right. It looks like either anon1313 or swayze/pleb is in the group as well. You'll be the only ones left by the end of the year.

>>2597696
Would you have to see my ugly face? This is probably the main reason why I have not joined one before

>>>>2597814
Nah, no face showing required unless you want to.

Is the imgur representative of the skill level? There was only 1 decent picture

>>2597813
neither of those 2 are in the group lol

were you referring to yourself when you said "Then we have the pretend know it all waabo of the group who thinks they know shit"?

>Skype

Why not Discord? You could do so much more.

Fuck Skype. Make a discord group.

>>2597830
>neither of those 2 are in the group lol
shit group then
>ere you referring to yourself when you said "Then we have the pretend know it all waabo of the group who thinks they know shit"?

No, don't pick apart my posts, fag.

>>2597835
>shit group then
idk who anon1313 is, but i know pleb and he wouldn't even make the weekly assignment
>No, don't pick apart my posts, fag.
i'm just saying that literally the only thing you've been right about until now, is that coomi is in the group
also you clearly have autism

>>2597846

>>2597872
Out of all things that make this better over skype, such tiny, stupid detail, that doesn't even ruin speaking, bothers you the most?

>>2597902
i don't see what makes it better, they both look similar maybe few different things, but chatting and sharing images and groups and stuff are the same
just seems discord is more catered for video games

>>2597832
>>2597833

Skype has little versatility and a huge RAM cost.

DESU we should be using mumble or ts since they have superior audio options.

you should have at least 8 gb of ram in this day and age, and if you have that, the part that skype uses shouldn't even matter

We won't be adding people in that posted under this post, as we've already reached the cap.

However I will save your usernames, so when some space frees up we will reach out to you.

>>2600514
There's a cap to the number of people you can have in a skype group?

>>2600517
No, there's a cap to how many people we think are manageable.

>>2600514
Does that mean the above the post will be added shortly?

Im just wondering cause i haven't been invited yet maybe i was too late, lol.

So in all seriousness what is it about these groups that get such a bad rep and how is it avoidable, if it even is? I was thinking about making a group but I don't want it to become like what >>2597709 said and based on other Skype group threads I've seen this seems to be a common theme. What are your thoughts about it lads?

>>2600634
Been part of a circlejerk-with-an-attached-srs-chat skype group for over a year now and it's not been dying so idk what other groups are like

add me to the group, birdsnotintrees

I will give it a try

A link to some of my works is in my profile

This seems cool, but I kinda just decided to learn how to draw today and I don't even have any materials so I wouldn't really be able to fulfill the weekly requirement. I'm really motivated right now, but I'm hoping that I won't lose my motivation to learn how to draw while I sleep, even though that is probably what's going to happen because I'm depressed and it happens with everything I'm interested in.

it's because these groups are completely open and are big right from the get go.
the proper way to build a group is to make it with people you know and then invite people you want to invite, not just random strangers. make sure that people within the group actually get to know each other.

>>2610171
Yeah, good one. You're talking out of your ass, bud.

>>2610163

I didn't work :/

>>2610171

I figure the group might have these problems but nonart school artist will be a sweet relief

>>2610207
Not at all. The better groups i've been with were like that. the average skill level was higher too.
Maybe that's me but i could never stand these big groups where 80% of the users are eternal lurkers.

>>2610163

Can you put the group invite from discord, it doesn't work if you post it that way

we're starting a discord group if anyone is interested

No ban policy sounds like a "I'm too lazy to clean up the trash" on my server policy.

>>2613457
I already do shitpost there, and repressed seems like an okay dude to me.

>>2597696
In this group there are atleast not that many good people

>>2613539
theres erek, cc, repressed, gin, sleepy and other blog? level artists. But if youre asking this question, youre probably not that good and would bring us down anyway.

Either way, just come and check god damn you

I mean im not gonna flaunt them.

I'm new to all of this
is it voice-based? can we stay text only?

As someone whose been in a couple groups like this before I can tell you it's probably not worth joining. Here's some reasons why-

1) /ic/ has a horrible mindset meaning you're probably gonna meet at least one or two toxic assholes who do nothing but deconstruct somebody's work to the point where they hate it. It's one thing to critique a work, it's another to bash on it and not use any tact. If you're on the receiving end you're not going to want to draw much anymore.
2) You won't necessarily get along with everybody, especially since we're all 4chan dwelling artists which means we likely have poor social skills. You'll probably have drama and you might have to deal with somebody you dislike but can't get rid of because either they're an admin or they're buds with the admin.
3) People have expectations they will improve just because they're around artists or it will push them to draw more, this is not true and you're gonna be disappointed. If you're not improving/not drawing enough it's lack of self-discipline. There's no secret, there's already shitloads of resources, mileage is the most important.
4) Sometimes people will have expectations the group creates daily/weekly objectives and then someone will have to do that, but if that person leaves it could mean the end of the group (do you want to do the work of organizing weekly objectives and checking whose turning their assignments in?).

>>2622166
5) These groups either are too lax and devolve into shitposting or are too strict. You'll sometimes see people splinter off and make their own groups (which will also probably fail) and if you're not invited well, you're out of a group.
6) You might end up getting sucked into the group and treating it more as a social outlet than a reason to draw (probably why drama is so frequent in these things).
7) Potential slackers in the group could make you start slacking too. Typically these people are shitposters.
8) If you somehow manage to find a group that's good it will eventually die one way or another regardless, at least in my experience. There's one group on DA that's super elite but it's still going but that's the only one I still know of. Every other group I know of has devolved or is super inactive.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to add some of these people as friends perhaps but joining a group? I dunno about that.

>>2622166
pretty much this

I know this is /ic/ and we can be complete jerks but then there are some people who are just straight up assholes for no reason who join this groups.
>2
>you won't necessarily get along with everybody

But let's say you do just so happen to get along with all the active users. What usually happens is there is always this person who ends up forgetting they don't really know you and end up sharing too much info about themselves because they think you're their friend. You now know this bit of information and will mention it later which 99% of the time ends up in drama. Either this person grows to hate you or leaves the group with some made up excuse. Then there is person that prefers you not be nice to them etc. there is just no way to truly know someone on the internet.
>3
This isn't completely true (see las).
>4
I think daily/weekly objectives are stupid if it doesn't tie in to what you want to do. What is to concept art exercise has nothing to do with the fine artist to comic book artist. Again las had challenges and if the challenge just so was aligned with your skillset you may or may not join it.

The job of checking others assignments means you must be in the role of the top artist for X subject(s). But it is impossible to be well-rounded in all subjects and most homework assignments groups like these make are random topics. That is why these never work out.

>>2622167
>5
I think it's just this board. Other boards have skype groups and they have a balance with both being lax and shitposting. They can control themselves and know when to stop and can have fun in moderate as everyone is mostly busy actually doing something.
>6
Lots of us don't have much real friends and so this happens.
>7
I don't know what you mean by slacking. This refers back to groups being too strict, what do you want?
>8
Nothing lasts forever. It's like you play a game for years and all your pals you've made stop logging in. Or a website you frequent makes a complete overhaul and nothing is the same anymore.
