/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Stay away from trannycord™
and learn some self discipline

Discords filled with tryhards are the worst

>>4875873
No kidding. Is it really too much to ask for a tight-knit server that isn't filled with psychotic trannies, though?

>>4875873
/ic/ is full of wannabe tryhards that don’t even draw.

>>4875902
True. All the discords that arise in /ic/ are utter trash. You're better off joining the discord of some artist you like.

>>4875669
for what reason would you want an art discord?
do you want to befriend follow artists? do you want a spot where you can gain critiques? do you want a resource archive?
what is it that you want?

>>4876031
I want a place to chill with buddies that happen to draw

>>4876043
I’m here anon, you can chill with me while i draw

>>4876043
i`d recommend you instead find art friends on your own
post on social media, find artists you enjoy and who are around your level and talk to them, befriend them. make a discord group with them
that`s what i did, still friends with them 4 years later

/ic/ related discord are autistic and drama-ridden while popular art discords are usually filled with pussies a/o children. try to find edgy artists w/ discord servers, those are pretty good but they may not be the most active servers out there.

>>4876081
No, we can't. You're anonymous. You only exist as for long as I read your post.

>>4876088
I dont see why we can’t just hangout now? I’m drawing stuff and checking ic every 4minutes between strokes. How is this any different then some chat window?

>>4875895
Yes, it is.

>>4875902
Who cares, just game and shoot the shit with people.
Art is boring not fun.

>>4876285
>game
ngmi shitposter crab

>>4876287
Games are fun, and are even more fun with friends.

You literally can't say the same thing for art. No one here on this board enjoys drawing and only does it because they have delusional dreams of becoming the next Miles DF and living off commission work so they don't have to get a real job.

>>4876291
It's like you've never drawpiled with friends while on VC

>>4876298
I have and it's boring af.
There's always either 1 or two ppl actually drawing while everyone else either just watches or afk's then everyone ends up leaving after 15 mins and plays among us or league instead.

Art is nott and will never be a social activity stop trying to force it as one.

When people ask for a good discord what they are really asking for is a good group of artist friends. There is no specific discord that will server all your social wants as an artist, which is why you should make your own.
Go into moderately-sized preexisting servers, talk for a while, and find people you like. After you have found some artists you have vetted, make a new private server and invite them to join it. If you're the one running the server you can personally keep out anyone you dislike, and can kick anyone if you get tired of them.

>>4876300
You have my pity if you hate doing art that much.

looking art friends: akita#4510. open to join any art servers

>>4876309
Can you post your art? Or at least mention what kind of things you like to draw.

>>4876302
I pity artists more. You guys are always so bitter and toxic lol.

Just game and chill bro.

>>4876328
>I pity artists more. You guys are always so bitter
You sound pretty bitter yourself. It seems you've never met the right crowd.

>>4876329
>n-no y-you
how?
I'm literally just telling it like it is. Gaming is objectively fun, and everyone enjoys it. Just chilling and hanging out with people shooting the shit is way better than talking about what Kim Jung Gi had for lunch or whatever.

Every Art server is the anti-thesis of fun and is always full of bitter tryhards.

>you've never met the right crowd
top kek. You'll never meet the "right" crowd with artists, especially from /ic/.

https://discord.gg/srfHUE this one is pretty good

It’s really fucking not.

>>4876354
>HUE

Try getting a fucking life. There is no single good artist that is top tier that stays at home all day drawing and shitposting, much less spending all day on discord.
Go out there and draw by yourself, try to find real friends, if not, whatever.

You fucking schizos never gonna make it, ever.

>>4876786
>There is no single good artist that is top tier that stays at home all day drawing and shitposting, much less spending all day on discord.
Twitter tells me otherwise.

>>4876812
Stop spending this much time on the internet.

I could post the one I'm a part of but you have to play fighting games

>>4876834
Nice way to ruin the server

>>4876834
Magister?!

>>4876309
i have a discord server but i have no idea what youre supposed to do with this. what am i supposed to do with akita#4510. i dont even see anyway to search for or navigate to your profile.

>>4876834
an artist FG discord? sounds interesting.
i kinda want to join but then again i quit fighting games (or rather, put them on hold) recently to focus on my art.

>>4876834
Can you join if you retired from the FGC

>>4876540
Fucking kek. Next they are gonna give out free sterilization for nogs

>>4876285
If you find art boring, then you shouldn't bother with it.

>>4876834
Nigga my main is potemkin in GG rev 2 and Mika in street fighter V, I can't find anyone to talk about art and play fighting games. Send me a message Strayed Lost Dog#3995

I'm not sure what your reading comp grades were like in school, but you think anyone who got their rocks off from making art would type any of that

>>4877198
Are you fucking stupid?

>>4877203
Ok so you rode the short bus to school got it

>>4877217
>No u
If you don't have any fucking braincells to put together an argument besides name calling and pulling the classic "I know what you are but what am I?" shit, don't bother to wasting the bandwidth to post.

add me if u want a draw fren especially if you're a cute grill
DBaG#9308

>>4877303
I'm a fat ugly grill

>>4877310
what's your point

>>4875669
just start your own. my top tips for avoiding becoming yet another trashy artist's discord:
>no more than 3 or 4 channels to start with
>do NOT make off-topic channels ("general", "memes", "shitpost")
>selective invitation or member vetting
>dont bother with written rules (unnecessary for private or gatekeeped servers)
>optional: admin privs for all confirmed members

basically a group DM but with 10+ members, it's low maintenance AND low-investment (for you the owner and for the members who are potentially already busy posting in several art discords, or busy actually drawing)

>>4877319
All girls on /ic/ are like me. Have fun getting catfished

>>4877322
There are no girls on ic, in fact I'm pretty sure women don't draw at all

>>4877329
the way some people act when the slight possibility of a girl arises, im surprised any of them dare reveal their gender.

>>4877322
Jokes on you I like ugly slobs and I would love to fuck you and love you. I cannot change who I am.

>>4877310
Don’t say that, Cas. I’ll punch you.

>>4877422
are u a female
Pls be my gf I'm desperate

>>4877322
Fat is better than ugly. You just need to find willpower. Ugly will always be ugly.

>>4877457
Really shows the sexism when you think desperate men are the reason instead of the obvious hatred for women by men who wish they could kill women.

>>4877153
>Mika player
no wonder you can't find any friends

any eu anons here really committed to improving? making a very small server with daily drawing sessions would be cool

>>4877422

Bitch, literally every single demographic gets shit on the internet. Women are just bigger cry babies about it. Don't enter a male dominated space not expecting to get shit.

tarot anon from the /alt threads here

helping build a disc server with some people to make a space for creating and critiquing non-pozzed art.

come hang out

what is "non-pozzed"?

>>4877653

art that doesn't push the mainstream/leftist agenda

>>4877663
>>4877623
Back to >>>/pol/ with your white supremacist server.

>>4877667

>white supremacist server

if this is the first assumption you make then this server is likely not for you

Is there a discord that is neither "you must be hardcore and take part in every challenge or we kick you out" nor circlejerking?

>>4877663
what if i just happen to enjoy drawing neutral rainbow haired full figured androgonies?

>>4877731
I despise trannies and leftists but I draw this too

>>4877457
shit boi least you got a birthday party for your 30th.

>>4877245
Just admit that you don't know how to read or comprehend English and kys

literally just find a few other people and create a discord. that's how the one i'm in got started.
it takes effort to start though.

>>4877742
The only discord I ever liked was created here and only lasted like 2-3 weeks until the creator nuked it for no reason.

>>4877749
well try again.
start one, or invite someone to start one together.
then invite more people.

The reason why art is not a social thing is because it takes a very long time to draw. While sketching is quick and easy, anything beyond it takes a long time. Lining, painting, perspective, etc, all take a long time to setup and get right. This is, of course, ignoring the amount of time spent pulling up references, researching how certain things work, and putting a cohesive design together. That's why drawpiles aren't something I join regularly.

I think /ic/ has a userbase which primarily focuses on the sketching part of drawing and doesn't develop those ideas further. Additionally, many users across /ic/ related discords have this mentality that drags others down to protect their own egos. I've seen people compare themselves to artists much better than them skill wise, only to argue that they themselves are better because they can produce a sketch "purely from imagination."

Most /ic/ related discords operate on a specific set of rules where only a small subset of the art world is considered "acceptable," and only when performed in a specific manner. I believe this is done so that the owner of these servers can create specific conditions to present themselves as someone knowledgeable or skilled, when they are, in fact, just as clueless as everyone else. It's very hard to challenge the ideas in these servers if you are new to the art world, because it feels like you are challenging the entire notion of artistry. It is excessively uncomfortable to be in these communities that, for whatever reason, look for new members to join constantly, only to use these people as a means to feed the egos of the already established social circle(s) in the server. The worst part about these communities is that the people in them tell you that they are your friends, that they are acting in your own best interests, when they are only using inexperienced, impressionable, or otherwise defenseless users to feed their hunger for attention and validation.

Don't join /ic/ discords.

i've never seen anyone actually say that.

Ahahah lmao. Stay mad pedophile. I will be remembered for being a great artist, and meanwhile you will be remembered for drawing naked children, how sad is that?

>>4882168
You can keep jerking each other off in your treehouse for autists, i'll draw something cool now

I've been apart of a few discords for over a year now, and I still haven't made any friends. I've come to the conclusion that they are all shit and a waste of time unless you already have a group of friends who join them with you.

The one i spend the most time in is literally just a bunch of people who already knew each other prior to the creation of the server, so there's absolutely no way you could break into their clique.

They all get together in voice chat every night and just talk to each other while everyone else is afk.

I don't understand how a server can have hundreds of members, but the exact same 15 ppl only ever post or communicate with each other.

>>4884232
as someone who's been a floater of friend groups his entire life you really just need a few things
1. learn to become an active listener. you'd be surprised much someone can tell you if you ask the right questions in the right way
2. find something you can bond over, this typically involves finding something you like with someone. can be as simple as playing a game together, similar life experiences, or something stupid
3. challenge the person. you don't want someone getting mad at you or thinking you're a retard but being able to entertain someone through conversation is a skill of its own

making good friends is hard dude, i love the server i'm on but i'm afraid its got the shit you're talking about going on. but i'm always willing to hear people out and thats what its all about

>>4884247
Don't join this discord all they do is shitpost and not draw

>>4884234
I can't imagine the kind of cuck you have to be to stay in this server.

>>4884622
>>4884788
I joined and almost immediatly left both of these. Are these really the only ones?

should I make a server

>>4884815
/ic/ servers are a dime a dozen. What would be different about yours?

>>4884820
The fact that there isn't a circlejerk pushing everyone new out yet and that there aren't hundreds of users yet either. I'd join a new one over the "established" ones.
>>4884815
sure

>>4884822
>The fact that there isn't a circlejerk pushing everyone new out yet and that there aren't hundreds of users yet either. I'd join a new one over the "established" ones.
Lol, you must be new here. Go ahead. I guarantee your server will die in less than a week.

Fucking terrible advice.
Be quiet.

You'll just end up making everyone in the server annoyed byyou and make you feel unwelcomed by challenging one of their buddies on some stupid topic.

Anyone else just can't relate to people or form connections with them no matter how much time you spend in a server?

>if its in life in general maybe youre on the autism spectrum
I have trouble forming connections with people irl, but this is only fairly recently. I think i'm just getting too old for these kinds of things.

I'm not autistic(have been to several psychiatrists and all of them say there's nothing wrong with me)
