I think there’s an issue with your wording. There’s a lot of good art discords that you could get invited to here, but specifically calling them IC discords alienates a lot of discords that’s don’t want to be branded as such.

The only drama i know is of the OC drawthreads discord and Sculptoranon who is such a weirdchamp that he ritualistically makes servers just to fuck with people...

While he's been inactive as of late, speaking about him has a chance to summon the schitzo.

[Anonymous No.6260339]

>>6260034
did they actually ban the word completely, or did they just change the "community page" (idk i dont use midjourney, just going by the text) so it wasn't 100% tits on the home page or something like that.
if its the second option that sounds like an extremely overblown reaction to something rather small

Is an art discord better than an art reddit? I haven't used either, so I'm just asking.
I imagine the best would be to slide into DMs of a fellow artist and exchanging drawings and critique often

[Anonymous No.6260374]

>>6260367
Discords are only as good as the people in them. Small discords with people you like are fine, public discords or big discords with loads of faceless assholes blow chunks. Reddit, being a public site, blows chunks but is better for spreading your work if that's what you're after.

All the /ic/ cords I'm in have good and bad aspects.The bad aspect is typically the social/community aspect, either incoherent shitposting or inactive.The quality of work is typically bad too, most servers still sending invites have 99% begs with 1 or 2 int level artists. Only good thing about it is the ocassional comment. If anybody isn't in any of these servers I can promise you're not missing out on anything.

Good artists have their own cords with their own friends, orbiters and little clout chasers. I've been in cords where it is multiple good/e-famous artists but they're pretty dead and unless you are an orbiter or on the same level as them e-fame wise they don't interact.

Violet Clovers was alright but it's a bit too stifling now, some gay mods. Your best bet is to make your own server and advertise/invite people and see if you can make your own community. But the community building/social aspect has to come first otherwise it will just be another dead splinter server nobody uses. It helps if you make some friends.

[Anonymous No.6269701]

The issue with /ic/ and public discords and social media is that 99% of art is just pointless illustration or just of poor quality.

It's just:

>Character doing a pose
>No motion
>No context
>No projects
>No goals besides improving technical skill

If there is context it's just shallow, trop-based writing that is more or less ripping off popular works too much without providing anything new or interesting to the medium.

Then there's all the porn, it's just porn.
Porn is rarely creative or interesting besides its value as fap material or as a commercial product.

[Anonymous No.6269738]

>>6269701
That's more of an issue with artists that only seek to create commercially viable product appealing to the lowest common denominator for social media relevance.

Their goals are getting followers to earn money so they don't have to get a real job.
Improving is just a means to be able to appeal to potential consumers to get more money and followers.

Porn is what always sells and has infinite demand, so naturally, everyone wants to do porn as a career since it's very easy to get yourself into and consumers can't stop consuming it.

Well, there is also the issue with the general audience expecting a specific style or "pseudo-quality" to any artwork.
You can find depth in not so technically perfect hyperrealistic painting, but the audience wants that and it doesn't matter if it's just shallow, trope based garbage.
And it's even better if they do actually rip off popular works.
Consumers want to always consume the exact
same thing, just in a slight different flavor that turn out to have the same flavor as the thing it is ripping off.

Basically, artists pander to consumers too much because it works.
And as long as there are people earning 10k a month from drawing anime titties, it will only attract more artists and kids trying to do the same.

[Anonymous No.6269778]

>>6269738
Even if an artist isn't doing it for money and fame and only doing it for self expression or their own enjoyment that doesn't mean it's interesting.

The common narrative isn't interesting, it's just relatable but that can only carry it so far.
It's statistical.

If 100 artists were supposed to write a post about their thoughts on the queen's recent death 99 of them would focus on generic opinions that follow the common narrative that can be categorized.
If one person would write about something that the rest haven't because they have a very different level of understanding on the subject then that would automatically be more interesting than the rest because it doesn't get saturated by being generic whether it's good or bad.

We have the mainstream and niche separate because there's a hierarchy of information and experience involved.

Most people fall into being generic on some level, most artist don't differ from this.
If your experience on something is not out of ordinary it most likely won't produce any extraordinary material.

Motive alone doesn't produce meaningful or interesting art, it has to have substance and context to back it up.

[Anonymous No.6269896]

>>6269778
>If your experience on something is not out of ordinary it most likely won't produce any extraordinary material.
That's where i disagree.
You could have no extraordinary experience, but still manage to create something interesting.
You don't need to have unique or out of the ordinary experiences to do that, you could just imagine or simulate those experiences, but most artist don't, because that requires stepping out of yourself and think, which people tend to avoid like cats avoid swimming.

I mean, are all the authors writing crimes and murders, criminal and murderers themselves?
Of course, they're not, but they gathered information, stepped out of themselves and used their brains.

Even then, something being interesting is subjective.
If someone wrote a whole book about whatever that would get the average whatever fan to cream their pants at the thought of it, it might be interesting to them, but not to someone who doesn't care about whatever, even if the whatever book could be objectively be the most detailed, informative, highly specific, insight inducing guide to whatever, it would still hold no value to a non-fan.
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, after all.


But imo it's almost as shallow and generic as fotm anime titties floating in the void to claim that you need extraordinary experience to create something interesting.
>Motive alone doesn't produce meaningful or interesting art, it has to have substance and context to back it up.
But what drives one to create makes that difference.
If you were driven by wanting attention and social media clout, what do you think you will be driven to create?
If you were driven by genuine unadulterated passion, wouldn't you try to create something you'd know you'd be interested in as a consumer?

In the end, it's still the one viewing the creation evaluating its worth.

[Anonymous No.6270071]

The problem is that /ic/ pushed everyone who could draw away because of its shitty drawing abilities, raw jealousy and prompus attitudes. They board has no real community anymore because you niggers couldn't stop everything about your yourselves when it shouldve been about the art and self improvement. Some people will completely deny this, and write long winged masterbatory post about how its those damn ___________ that ruined the board but 9/10 these are spriteful faggots lying through there teeth
