Your first problem is that you're looking for an art community on a gaming chat service
Second is that they do exist but all the people in them are closely knit and you aren't trying hard enough to improve and make friends within the art community

I'm part of a chat that I posted about before called VisDev. We don't do only art (we have writers, artists, coders) but since discord is pretty compartmentalised the multiple conversations aren't a problem.
We don't have quality standards (beginners can join) but we do have productivity standards (shitposters get banned, you need to post work or at least regularly critique others).
We also don't have the person you're talking about in the OP.

If anyone is interested post your work and discord name so I can add and invite you. We're interested in getting new, productive people in the chat.

[Anonymous No.2999944]

What makes an art group good?

One important factor is obviously that the members are actively trying to improve
but what else is there? How can we make a good art group?

I believe there has to be some kind of element of consistancy in what people choose to draw. It's no good if everyone is interested in different things because then nobody will care about others art and also probably won't know what makes others art better.

1. A good moderator who draws and actively makes the server better and does not promote bitches to do it for him or her. Is online everyday. Is a leader.
2. Mandatory and required blog and verifiable draw prompt to weed out any and every troll.
3. Do not allow people in the server who modded previous servers/had important roles.
4. Do not allow nosebro fangirls.
5. Do not allow nosebro apologists.
5. Block access to special channels for verified users who participate and aren't lurkers.
6. Cull any gossip. Kick drama starters. Remove anyone who speaks ill of anyone (except nosebro*).
7. Ban lurkers after a month.
8. Promote the server as being the best art server among all art servers beyond the sticky.
9. Ban choob.
10. Promote nosebro.

[Anonymous No.2999976]

>>2999971

Oh and
11. Something about weebs. I think culling the population to a minimum is required. Therefore to be accepted in the server you must pass an interview.

[NoseBro No.3000021]

>>2999944
The current issue the groups are facing is that the pool of people to pick from is a much lower than it was a full year ago. From my quick assessment of many groups here are the most common flaws:
-no i/c mentality ie deviantart tier
-hugbox despite everyone being picked from 4chan ( how the fuck does this even happen)
-not enough members
-low average level to the point that you don't even want to critique people
-only drawing smut/some fetish
-you come in and there are 20 chats for 20 different types of art
-too many members so dilution of talent (IE the groups that just aim to become big and don't care about anything else)
-everyone is afraid to use voicechat, redline,
-everyone is between 13 and 19
-no googly hangouts
-t̶o̶o̶ ̶m̶a̶n̶y̶ ̶g̶i̶r̶l̶s̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶h̶o̶m̶o̶s̶e̶x̶u̶a̶l̶s̶.̶ ̶

Even the closed groups aren't much better.

The biggest problem usually resides within the lead admin, which is normal because the person who wants admin-ship is usually the last to deserve it. Those are the people who understand the burden of authority.

-don't draw
-Use their server to increase their personal standing (by trying to make it a commission hub for example)
-made the group to make friends
-don't understand how to manipulate the servers culture ( IE creating chats and phrasing the explanations of the chats in a way that influences behavior, not leading by example, censorship as opposed to moderator-ship, not understanding how to select staff ie choosing according to the dilbert principle, lack of responsiveness or positioning, etc.)

One day ill make the server that you guys deserve, but i have other things to work on first.

when i create this discord i was thinkin in something more elitist, i mean, the server name is "not gonna make it", if i dont see improvement or people actually dont posting art i will ban them, if they complain too much about critisism because they used to be in a hug box, i ban them. i create the discord for commissioners, an easy way to ask/show what can people do, but as an improvement server.

I'm surprised that you didn't know about this sooner. A lot of tumblr and twitter users lurk around here for free artbooks. They're completely unfamiliar with our culture, so they react badly whenever they see a racial slur or anything remotely right-wing (even if it's blatantly sarcastic). Instead of shrugging it off like we do with every other insult, they make a full effort to fight against it. It's why choobposting exists.

[Anonymous No.3000142]

How about some kind of rule to enforce users to give critique.
This would stop absolute beginners and lazy people getting in and would increase the productivity of the group

they are completely right and anything beyond that is complete tomfoolery on your part. If you just force everyone to have their blog open to everyone people will know where others stand in an organic way.

who cares if people wave around their ranking as dicks. if you got a high rannk cause of yoru skills you should be able to flaunt it. also it'll be easier to dismiss shittier artists.

[Anonymous No.3000210]

>>3000202
Because it ends in idolization and eventual circle jerks because people will only listen to the highest and eldest there.

[Anonymous No.3000215]

>>3000175
Ranking system is just too complicated to handle in the long run.

You'd need a team of trusted, experienced and reliable judges that cannot influence each other or even know each other to reduce bias and circlejerking as much as possible. Even better if they are external to the Discord server as to not let the artist' personalities affect their judgement

You'd also need to do this for every member you have. How often you'd update their ranking too?

i will personally create a tumblr blog for artists who have commissions sheets. also, i know a rank system is a bad idea in too many ways, but i think will help people to understand that they arent that good, and they need to work to climb.

think about it, if someone is better than you, thats a fact, u cant do nothing to change it... oh wait, u can inprove as an artist. dont sit in your desktop and start internet fights, take your pencil, and start drawing. you have to set goals if you want to get better.

[Anonymous No.3000233]

>>3000175
>critique doesn't have any standards

uh what? you mean someone can just say "it's shit" and that qualifies as crit to you? that's not critique, that's just a comment.

i also agree with the ranking system issues. definitely a potential for drama with this. there won't be enough people contributing to the server for it to even be valid anyway.

[Anonymous No.3000243]

>>3000231
True, but I think it's on the artist' responsibility to understand who's better than them.

But, if you can really make a ranking system that works and have as little bias as possible, it'll be great.

For starters, what would each ranks be?

[Anonymous No.3000247]

>>3000243
beginners, intermediate, advanced, expert and masters are the ranks i think.

i have an idea, just because your draw is good dont make you a master, you have to take in consideration thinks like: shadow/light management, perspective, proportions, color understanding and things like that.

[Anonymous No.3000250]

>>3000247
And what does each rank really represent? I think for starters you would need a collage of images to represent each rank. Also make sure the collage for each rank have enough variance in style to better represent as much people as possible.

I have no idea what you're trying to say in your second sentence, though

[NoseBro No.3000251]

It basically is but in a less cynical way. The mods don't generally get their characters drawn all that much and a lot of the smaller members have been picked so far. Anyway, it's been going on for about two or three years so far off and on and I haven't seen a lot of complaining that it isn't fair or anything.

I'm not trying to sell it, I just feel (as someone who actually has been swamp ape studios'ed before [read: bilked into doing hours and hours of free art] ) like it's trustworthy and right up OP's alley.

And now you wanna bring this here? fucking seriously?

How about you people start drawing? if you wanna attention this fucking badly go out and make friends and no, looking for attention in forums without even posting your work is not the right way to make friends

Of all the groups I've been in the people who complain about circlerjerks are those who join in late and are mostly lurkers who never say anything. But when they finally say something everyone ignores him because he/she is the literally who. The problem is you shouldn't stop talking there...you should actively continue to talk.

I got back into drawing this weekend because I got bored and did a couple of requests in the weekend drawthread. Then I realized there were two sets of drawthreads and they did not like one another. That was really weird.

I don't know what you're talking about when you say they got killed, I see them very consistently despite the average skill level being so low.
