There's nothing wrong with choosing a silly name as an artist.
>>43001568I hope you get flayed alive frognigger
>>43002732frogposting is /mlp/ culture, sissy
>>43001527Lol. I been using that name since before I even started drawing ponies bro, It's a reference to a song a like. If it's a bit much for you just call me "vom">>43001552Ty my friend >>43001781The idea is a pile of vomit that itself is vomiting. The song im talking a out is about a cyborg that explodes into a pile of vomit that keeps vomiting more and more until the whole universe is filled with vomit
>>43002737ur art is shit btw kill yourself
>>43001527I find it extremely distasteful that this artist in particular posts art like this, which is clearly not beginner level, in /bale/ which is supposed to be for beginners. Then gets all the praise while the actual beginners get ignored.
>>43002663love your art, epstein
>>43001592Because fully grown up adults need to compensate the cute childish looking art with edgy crude names.
>>43002761/bale/ has good stuff in the OP but other than that it's just skilled artists smurfing and flexing on beginners to demoralize them so they won't get any 'competition'.
>>43002761i don't think he's doing it intentionally. his art from a year ago is visibly rougher, too. seems more likely he was a beginner that has advanced but has grown too big for his britches. bigger boy vomit now
>>43002737ur art is amazing btw live yourself
>>43002737Ur gogurt mare did things to me
>>43002783I think Huffyhorse of all people touched on this. The artists that are popular right now want to continue having the stranglehold they have on modern MLP culture and try and snuff out any artists they see as a threat to this..
>>43002761Almost two years artist who post there and doesn't get (you)s never. Don't do art because of praise or recognition, do it because you like to do it and when the times come you're gonna get people liking it.
>>43002737your art is mid btw half breathe and not half breathe
>cutesy nickname>draws horrible shitname two
>>43002790No he's doing intentionally. All the skilled artists that post their art in /bale/ are doing so intentionally. Why else would you post an objectively 'advanced' picture of a thicc Trixie in /bale/ unless you wanted to put the people earnestly browsing that thread to start their art journey in your shadow? They're gonna think that's low effort or beginner level and get instantly demoralized and quit.
>>43002737You art is but let me suck your cock
>>43002817If there wasn't good art the thread would be a bump fest. Reply every ignored oc on the thread if it's so much of a trouble so much instead of complaining with artists.
>>43002783Do you really think anyone cares about 'competition' in this dying shithole?
>>43002828ThisEven a couple of (You)s can mean the world to an amateur artist or writer. It pains me to see multiple posts of greentext without even a single (You), even criticism is helpful.
>>43002832Shouldn't be a competition but an exchange of ideas and help to make more ponies for the world.
>>43002807>Don't do art because of praise or recognition, do it because you like to do itThis is always such utter bullshit, because if you're just doing it for yourself, why post it online in the first place?Don't deny the far majority of artists make and publish stuff because they enjoy the upboats and (You)s. And there's not even anything wrong with that, but don't lie.
>>43002828>if I didn't grace my presence to shit on the beginners then it would be a bump fest because i said soFag.
>>43002783git gud
>>43002817Am I a skilled artist of /bale/?
>>43002761>>43002817he's been drawing for about a year and has made great progress in that time. people start out at different places and improve at different speeds. >>43002817seems like you're forgetting the low effort part of bale. what someone considers low effort is gonna vary significantly between people, not to mention advanced artists can also draw low effort stuff as well. I'm personally of the opinion that if someone can't handle seeing potentially better artists than themselves in the thread they shouldn't get into art in the first place until they can handle that reality. besides that point advanced artists can give new artist's better critique because they actually know what they are talking about.
>>43002865>advanced artists can give new artist's better critiqueBut they never do. Redliner has been dead for ages now.
>>43002879I always do when requested and on occasion unprompted. though I usually try to avoid giving critique unprompted to not come off as an asshole plus you never know how an anon is going to react to the critique, but I have indeed helped plenty of anons in the thread with feedback/ critique.
>>43002879Maybe if ppl explicitly asked more they'd get it moreDidn't mean this post in a cheeky or rude way I'm just saying. sitting down and analysing a guys work and figuring out where they're lackluster and how they can improve and succinctly explaining ur observations can be draining. I don't blame ppl for not chomping at the bit to do it. Know this small time artists, I save and appreciate a surprising amount of ur pics. I will pledge to throw out more (You)s so that this is feltOne of my fav ever greentexts and pieces of writing in general went pretty much entirely unnoticed though I obsessed over it for years and spent days making a homage piece to it. I like to think everyone collects a lurkgang fan like that given time
>>43001639https://derpibooru.org/images/3633338
>>43002834This. The biggest demoralizing thing for me when I post art is to not know what anyone thinks of it. I'm not looking for upvotes, but not knowing if it's good or needs improvement somewhere even if I ask for it kills any motivation to post more. Even one (You) with something to think about helps a lot.
>>43001527>his nickname is gay4geldingskek.
>>43002801>we should definitely listen to someone who identifies with anontranny
>>43002879redlining is worthless unless its actually by someone who knows what they're talking about and most of /bale/ redlines were a crapshoot of the blind beg leading the beg blind being the norm.

>>43002761>>43002783>>43002801>/create/ sucks>drawthread is a shithole>posting art in one of the generals you like often leads to get getting missed as yet another decades old repost>"B-B-BUT DON'T POST IN THE COMFY DRAWING THREAD, I CAN'T HANDLE BEING SHOWN UP BY PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN POSTING IN IT FOR YEARS WITHOUT SHITTING MY PANTS!"I get you're a faggot and all, but have you considered using /bale/ posters as a source of critique and inspiration instead of being a crab? Drawing is fun and a lifelong journey, if all it takes is for someone better than you for you to wanna cry and quit, maybe drawing isn't for you.There isn't a secret cabal of drawfags out to get anyone, and there isn't a stranglehold on fucking DRAWING. You probably just romanticized the idea of being the next horsefamous artist and instead of buckling down to work at it you're picking fights because in the end your ngmi.
>>43003294nothing ever happens nuke
>>43003294>>posting art in one of the generals you like often leads to get getting missed as yet another decades old repostsI just say its a fresh draw or say I "I drew 'x' today" and that works fine. something along that line. indicating that its new but in a succinct manner is the best approach. the rest of the posted is accurate and based.
>>43002737you're great at what you do, and thanks for doing it
>>43001781then it would be vomitomiting
>>43002817I don't know about all that, but I do think that bale/create/tempo splitting off from the draw thread has been a mistake. Drawthread was never meant to be necessarily "high quality", but rather a mix of all skill levels and I think the split has resulted in less art in general.
>>43003471I think the thing is that Drawthreads on the site as a whole have become almost universally about fulfilling requests, which is cool and all but lots of artists don't wanna do that so inevitably other threads are going to form.
You know the fandom and site is dead when people cannibalize each other over PFPs and drawings of all things.
>>43003482The internet as a whole has gotten ridiculously protective of artwork. I get it if someone draws your favorite OC sucking dick or whatever but if someone uses your art as their avatar? Don't worry about it.
>>43003482This place has no gates, therefore it can't be gatekept. Same goes for places like Xitter. They are public. It's no coincidence that they are the dregs of the fandom. A lot of fans aren't fans, but people using pony as a cope. It's why they get assmad over pointless shit and fabricate unrelated culture wars. They are coping and feel greatly threatened when someone does anything in a way that they don't personally like. It's why they are willing to crash this place with no survivors, they aren't fans. Once all is said and done they will move on to the next cope. The fandom will always be here, but public sects of it will always be destroyed by tourists and outsiders, either for funsies or because of a coper's trigger response.
>>43002842If you absolutely need mom to compliment your stick figures, then you're never getting past that stage. The reason I learned to draw was because I was obsessed with cartoon media and had too much free time to make cringe doodles that only I gave a damn about. Bringing mutual happiness by easily sharing that art is only a bonus that we take for granted in the digital age. If the majority are all social parasites, then fuck the majority. The internal drive to have your vision realized and the fun you have with it is what matters first, because that will get you through the (You)less stage.
>>43002761I here ya. what >>43002790 is saying is basically correct. I used to post everything I drew in /bale/ back when I was a beginner. These days, I don't really know where to post my stuff other than the Rarity thread and on derpi. When I post in /bale/ now I'm usually giving feedback or advice, but I will still post random drawings every now and then. It just sucks because I love that thread and It's one of the main things that got me to start drawing ponies in the first place, but now when I post there people get mad at me. When I first started drawing I never thought I'd be "too good" for /bale/. I guess maybe I should just stop posting my art there entirely but it's hard to say goodbye after being a regular there so long. I love seeing the stuff that new artists make and try to encourage them, I don't want to be doing the opposite
>is called something like 69_Emperor_of_KKK_1337>draws the most beatiful poni imaginable>has some tryhard or pseudo intellectual name like FleetingWindsOfMemories>draws in shitty chicken scratches for a decade and never evolves past thatName them
>>43003763oh come on don't stop posting, OC is the heart of the board, I think I remember your art and it always made me smile seeing it pop up here and there I think it's just a vocal minority that feels inadequate when looking at art that's better than theirs, it always motivated me when I would see the regulars post stuff that's more advanced than what I can draw but also reachable if I'll keep grinding also we need more posters, there's a finite amount of begginers we can get at this stage of the boards existence
>>43003155But Redliner was clearly a competent artist because you could tell from the quality of the critique so you obviously haven't the foggiest who it even was and are just moaning in the wind.
>>43003193I was actually called a coward for doing just that in the past (this was way before 4chan existed) because they felt I was trying to pretend I was someone else (even though I literally always announced who I was with my first posts lol) when the real reason was just >>43003186 whenever I opened up the registration form.Accidentally happened to be a good thing I used to do that too because otherwise a lot of damaging things might've haunted me in this age of outrage and mock moralism.
>>43003294>There isn't a secret cabal of drawfags out to get anyoneDiscord screencaps have frequently proven that there really are.

>>43003557>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah So where's the rebuttal besides this unrelated ad hom?
>>43003763If your level has gone up you may want to post "finished" works that you worked on for a long time (like several days) in another thread like /create/ but keep posting "low-effort" drawings for your own level in /bale/. If you also use a name to give people C&C people will recognize you're not just trying to look cool compared to less capable anons, though a lot may start to hate you for that regardless because they might think you're trying to become "le based /bale/ oldfag". I dunno, navigating these social aspects has always been what I hated the absolute most about making art and it was one of the reasons why I quit myself.
>>43003855I think this is because many fanfic writers give themselves one of those "tryhard" names. And since most people are only competent in one field...
>>43004172The rebuttal is that you have zero passion for art and complain too much.
>>43004266Keep everything you make to yourself from now on.>B-but..!Either that or admit you're a hypocrite.
>>43004205sounds like you quit doing something that makes you happy because of imaginary social norms on an anonymous forum
>>43004319It wasn't on 4chan, and I don't care for your dismissive attitude.
>>43004002Not saying I'll stop posting my drawings on the board entirely, just /bale/. And I'll still give people feedback, I don't want to abandon the thread all together. Not the first time I've been accused of being a smurf or an attention whore for posting there and it's just not worth the headache. I don't want to be seen that way>>43004205couldn't agree more about the social aspects, I just want to draw cute mares and share them with my bros
don't feed the parasprites
>No you don't get it I must post my art that is no way low effort or beginner level in the thread meant for beginners because... Uh... Hmm... I just can? You could just post them on xitter to get the thousands of likes you already do. But no, you HAVE to post it in /bale/ to get even more attention drawn from the people that need it. It's fucking intentional. I can't imagine how many potential new artists were made to feel insufficient because you just have to post your art in the beginner thread.
>>43004529I only ever draw on /create/ just so I can score brownie points on being recognized
>money doesn't buy happinessSays the billionaire.>You should do art because you want too Says the artist that posts their art on various websites in hopes of getting attention.
>>43004600Don't you ever get tired of being miserable?
>>43004600Well, if you don't want to do art, then we certainly won't see anything from you!
>>43003294>Drawing is funHA!
>>43004529>>43004600>>43004637Didn't know I accidentally clicked into /ic/ instead of /mlp/
>>43004152The screencaps of discord servers... Made by artist friendgroups... Who are usually jaded by Anon's talking shit about them... For being popular... Woah...>>43004529Mad because bad, and your negative outlook is why you'll never be a real artist. >"PEOPLE ARE BETTER THAN ME, I MUST MAKE THE BOARD WORSE BECAUSE... UH... I JUST CAN?">>43004600Believe it or not, some people post their art online because they enjoy sharing what they work on. And others like to see it and endorse it. If sharing your hobby onto the internet is attention seeking behavior then I don't know what else to say besides, congrats on being miserable. Art has always been about the most skilled becoming the most notable, and that takes dedication and learning.
>>43004600Notice how they have no argument beyond >you are le miserable lolPlease don't stop exposing them and their ilk. It's fucking disgusting how they all get off on making lesser artists feel like shit.
>>43004831so true queen, go off. im sure if you stop drawing in spite of them thatll really show them
>>43003492Do someone actually rages at people using their art as pfp? Man, I've felt so flattered each time I've seen my drawings on random people's pfp
>>43003763I've hardly seen a lot of people pissing and moaning in bale about posters being "too good for bale" beside the occasional crabs who'd piss and moan about anything and everything. >>43004529believe it or not not everyone uses twitter. shocking I know. if you get filtered by the mere existence of people who are better than you that's a you problem.

>>43004809Are you an artist? The smug air of superiority checks out.
>>43005351Okay shithead. Nobody cares that you think anyone who actually contributes to any of the drawing threads (i.e. the lifeblood of this board) is "not good enough" for Mr. Perfect.You are part of the problem. Please leave.
>>43005875No faggot muhredliner is part of the problem, and so are you for enabling this hack into believing it was in the right so it would post more shitty redlines every time. The only thing they served was being a thread cheerleader with le fun community challenges. Their work was horrible so they're unqualified for any real redlines, but dealing with mental cripples like yourself you just brain-off like it had any kind of authority that you should listen to. I've literally seen better now and then in /bale/, aggie and magmas, and that isn't even a high bar. Le redliner is a permabeg who never improved after early stagnation. Please shut the fuck up
>>43005934Not even reading your drivel. Please leave.
>>43001527You have to be edgy to counter the fact that you draw something really cute and "girly", there's probably a name for it but idk
>>43006058Yeah, it's called insecurity.
>>43004887Yeah, some people asked me if they could use my art for their icon (another fandom) and I just said "go for it". Don't even need to ask me. Why would I be upset over someone liking my work and even wanting to spread it further?
>>43005945Blow it out your ass, you toddler. Nothing of value was lost by a literallywho beg not smearing their redturds all over everything. You are the equivalent of a kindergartener learning from and looking up to a first grader. Both are shit, and here's one of it's improovements - taking a forever to get to beg from beg is not anything to be proud of. The whole notion of this gril being incharge of drawthreadimprovement was a joke.
>>43006150Didn't read. We don't need people around that try to dissuade people from contributing to the board. Please leave, you are unwanted here. Maybe try the sh*rty or some other shithole like that.

>I posted [the thing] that makes all criticisms go away! Hooray now we will go back to hugboxing!No.
>>43006195The worst part is that the raids were successful. Contributions are perpetually declining, anons leave the board with a bad taste in their mouth each and every day. Most anons barely use the board anymore and opt to use offboard platforms while engaging with /mlp/ culture instead.
>>43006201The proxy site also doesn't help, though it's useful to bypass bullshit bans, so it's double-edged sword. I think chan culture is pretty much dying, the SNR is just too low nowadays, and even the trolls aren't funny anymore.
>>43006201most of the board interaction is usually shitflinging because another anon has a different option especially general vs general and barely any discussion which doesnt intice some faggot to cry some buzzword to attack another anon
>all this retarded arguing over artThe fact of the matter is if you don't have the talent for it, you'll never be any good no matter how hard or how long you try. You may not like it, but it's just the truth. Talent is truly the only thing that matters in a creative pursuit. "Effort" and "passion" mean fuck all if you weren't born with the talent to make them mean anything.

>>43006189"Good" art would sufficeI wish drawing was like driving, math, guitar,programming, cooking, etc where you just have to follow a basic path and you're guaranteed some baseline level of competency
>>43006208Take your licks like a man. Vacations are awesome, though I prefer earned ones. Whenever I get banned I just do other things with my time.

>>43006226>Take your licks like a man.No. I won't accept bullshit bans, or the preferential treatment of certain groups of this board. It has pissed people off enough to start a whole new SITE for it (I don't really use it myself) which says enough.
>>43006228>Not interesting or even funny, just a nuisance....but enough about hugbox tourists who were never here
>>43006222I mean, you can do that approach with art, it just involves exclusively drawing directly from reference and not differing from the reference at all. It's nowhere as satisfying as making up your own poses and ideas of things to draw, but it is possible to do.
>>43006241NHNB is better than /mlp/ in every possible way, yet you all refuse to use it. Do you have stockholm syndrome? It gets quite lonely over there.

>>43006250>It gets quite lonely over there.That's pretty much my reason for not using it. I'll probably ditch /mlp/ one day when I find enough sane pony fans in non-anonymous discussion places (as long as it's not Discord). I'm certain that every board event that is hosted off-site siphons a lot of users away from this place (besides checking a few threads when they're bored) and I don't blame them in the slightest.

>>43006344>I don't get the point.Preventing raids and low quality shitposts. Two of the main things that have been killing /mlp/.
>>43006355Enforcing clear cut rules isn't abuse. If you don't like good rules you can saunter on over to /mlpol/, they accept anything.
>>43006345>The most active thread here is second life trannies ERPing,Nope. It's the Tamer thread.Which isn't better.
>>43006355Oh hahaha, it's the barbietranny that tried to worm its way in during the hack lolHow did it feel that no matter what you did you couldn't succeed at infiltrating like a cockroach again?
>>43006361You mental cases literally raid threads you don't like and camepeign it to have it banned even if rules allow it. Nhnb is the worst collection of the worst users of /mlp/ sans barbiefags, you are still obnoxious niggers. Case in point >>43006364
>>43006364I wish he'd put the Babsflag back on, makes it funnier when it tricks my mind into reading it in a city slicker autist voice.
>>43006322Not much. Just 2-3 threads moving over.
>Check favorite artists' first ever posted art>Miles better than you starting out todayGuess that's it.
>>43006368Surely you have examples of these raids?
>>43006375There's a guy spamming a couple of barbie threads on here right now but that's also a testament to how much the jannies babysit barbie threads, because it gets deleted almost instantly, but off-topic frognigger threads stay up for hours.
>>43006356At the cost of killing off the site entirely, while one obsessed janitor nukes someone posting suggestive pony content because it isn't in the dedicated nsfw board, if NHNB wants to steal /mlp/'s traffic, then fucking loosen up the "anti-spam" bullshit. Every single time I go there I see threads from 2020-2021 still up, with months/years old replies. >>43006363/opg/ and tamers both thrive off of offboarder fags, which enter /mlp/ by proxy (friends of friends, xitter posts, etc). A good chunk of post quality degradation can just be attributed to people not wanting to "lurk moar", and the term which was originally good advice (figure out the culture before posting) turned into another insult to shitfling at others if they didn't know a chunk of /mlp/ history or some obscure 4cc reference (though the 4cc has stooped to such a level that it's no longer worth watching and is yet another source of offboarder faggots when they post their janitor protected threads since weedman/etc higher ups of the 4cc don't care for and refuse to post pony.)
>>43006375The ones where you try to enforce nhnb purity enshittification here since you have a dead board, or the ones where you attack your own members and claim victory if you can twist the autistic faggot of an admin into even more purity spiraling?
>>43006368>camepeign it to have it bannedThe only thing people wanted was to have it contained on a separate subboard such as /eqg/. But the cocksucker in charge (Twimod) ignored that request even when it was BY FAR the most popular request, along with IDs. Instead we got flags.
>>43006387I'm asking you for specifics. Tell me, which threads are being raided?
>>43006399Watch him claim that anons not liking barbie threads is somehow an NHNB raid kek.
>>43006399I see it's back to the selective amnesia denial status quo that you inbreeds operate on.
>>43006410The burden of proof lies on you.
>>43006404I'm not expecting a real answer. I know how these things go.And besides, how could an imageboard with no users conduct a raid?
>>43006414We shadow clone jutsu'd, that's how. Just like one of his barbie animes!
>>43006413Sorry people don't have the memoryspan of a goldfish, nhnbjew.
>>43006410Yep, I'm a poor little amnesiac. Now be a dear and tell me what threads were being raided. It should be pretty easy to pull them up since you're so passionate about it, no?
>>43006417No one knows what you're talking about, Paco the Taco. Don't you have questionably aged monkeys to fap to? I noticed you took an absence when making the Shadowbolts thread.
>>43006414>Bitter users shit up board to drive traffic to (((sanctuary)))>ehrmm we can't raid at all :)
>>43006429Why aren't you charging rent yet?
>>43006429If we really wanted to do that we would just post barbie threads, lmao. Show us this shit you speak of.
>>43006428>You have a problem with our shithole you must be my boogeyman>We din do noffin>Also when we do it, we giggle and hifive eachother This is the kind of mental illness that nhnb appeals to. Only the biggest shitflinging retards see any value in that shithole.
>>43006440Your style of arguing sounds familiar...
Hang on I'll speak to him in a language he understands:>"Five posts. You have five more posts to provide any evidence of these raids or else I'll blow this thread to smithereens."
>>43006443Search boogeyman on desu and observe.
>>43006443He IS from the favela, after all...
>>43006447Needs more cuckposting to get through to him, throw in a yabba dabba doo for good measure.
>>43006448>No one has ever used boogeyman before it must all be one personRetard.
>>43006455>please! Don't observe that I always post in the same style because I'm a one note retard!
>>43006464>I-ignore the fact I'm bringing /a/ shitposting material to the thread objectively spic culture, but you're definitely the favela one UHHHH one note!Retard.
>>43006385A slow board of quality is infinitely better than a still slow board of garbage.
You would think somebody with a chip on their shoulder wouldn't hesitate to show proof of these "raids" that would make the people he hates look bad.
>>43006374nta but my first posted art on a booru/DA is not the first art that I've ever drawn. I started drawing well before pony.
nhnb fags raided my thread and killed my dog :(
>>43006472This single thread has more posts than /poner/ and /fim/ combined do in a day. There's slow and then there's glacial.
>>43006480Glacial is better than what we have here on /mlp/. If you need constant stimuli you are no better than a tik tok child.
>>43006483Anon, 4chan was the original ADHD-brained website. Posts disappear forever, if you go away for a week every thread's brand new, that's how the site has been since 2008. Saying that's somehow a bad thing is just admitting you want something other than 4chan, which is fine, but I like 4chan. I liked it more 15 years ago but I still like it now.
Newfags don't know but there was a time once when there was so much OC posted in a day here you couldn't even keep up with it even if you had nothing else to do. Sure there was shitflinging, but the SNR was much higher. A lot of anons got into creating just from the inspiration of being around so many others who were doing the same thing; there wasn't all this carping about not having talent and some secret cabal of drawfags.
>>43006496Drawfags raped my waifu. I will not rest until they flee the fandom for their sins.
>>43006496At its peak, this board was ten times faster than it is now. How things have changed, huh?
>>43006502Not just the velocity but the content. Greens were probably like 40x more frequent than they are now. they're basically on life support.
>>43006494This is true. 4chan has always been for people who enjoy high-octane posting speed. Back on /b/ when I discovered it 2 decades ago a thread would be on the board for only a couple of minutes before it was pushed off if it got no replies. Threads that were active with new content were gone when I went to bed and woke up the next day (which is why I liked the archives, although I also agree with moot that it destroyed the ephemeral nature of 4chan). This is not "Tiktok" behavior, it is what attracted many people to this site. As we got older many people migrated to slower blue boards that suit our age better, but the original pull was definitely the fast-paced posting speed for many people.
>>43006494You know what? That's actually fair. You're fine with how it is, I'm happy for you. I simply prefer quality over quantity. I'd like for anons who feel the same to have a more fitting home than 4chan.
>>43006506And most spontaneous greens have gone as well, also in part thanks to the tremendous efforts of our resident moderation team. We can't thank you guys enough!
>>43006506That's one thing that's been a really dramatic shift in the past fifteen years of the internet. The average quality of writing, drawing etc has gone up as being a professional (or at least semi-pro) creator is more viable than ever, but as a result the average internet user sees it as a career path or something to fully dedicate yourself to rather than something you just do for fun. Creation as a pastime is really dying and that's quite sad.
>>43006506And now I don't read any greens at all. Kinda sad but what can you do?
>>43006515Money is the death of passion. I kind of hope AI lights a fire under artists ass just so we can get people doing art for fun again rather than trying to earn shekels drawing fetishes.
>>43006472>Of qualityWhere?
Wrote some greens the last few years and they did well, but the board climate makes it hard to care enough to do more.
>>43006529>Money is the death of passion.I mean I don't necessarily disagree, but people gotta eat you know? And wageslaving 3 jobs doesn't leave much free time to spend on drawing. I'm doing okay personally but I'm not an artist, but people in the US seem pretty fucked. Even college graduates aren't doing well.
>>43006529I feel like the core problem there is the reason people are so desperate to monetize their hobbies is because they're stretched so thin as is. Fixing that unfortunately isn't something that a website can do.
>>43006523Try to make a conscious effort to bring it back, maybe? I'm not much of a writer myself but I did a bit of content creating into the void on /pone/ for similar reasons, back when it still existed. But the problem here isn't just lack of users, it's also low quality users.>>43006531Yeah. It's like the environment was the crux that let us flourish, but now that it's shifted so much it feels more like a slow self-reinforcing death spiral.
>>43006537What a cruel reality, fetishfags have the money to commission but artists don't have the financial security to create.
>>43006515One should give everything of himself to anything he does
>>43006529GAyi was a demotivational outside force. It's not inspirational to have to share breath with things that are ok with slop, regardless of who's pushing or consuming it. The fire under the ass will not be the norm, but the exception.
>>43006549>Try to make a conscious effort to bring it backBeen there, done that. Nothing I tried worked. I just shitpost now, it's all that's left to do here.
>>43006496There is a somewhat private cabbal of artists like in the furry fandom, and other fandoms, a bit like the school of sorcerers.
>>43006564Who is in this cabal? So I can terrorize them of course.
>>43006564There is are some Discord cliques of horsefucker artists yes. but I think the idea that they are all actively conspiring to put beginner artists down is an invention concocted by the local retardnigger(s) here to deflect responsibility from their unwillingness to put in the work and git gud
>>43006576Yeah. They just shill themselves aggressively
>>43006578Everyone here is shilling something though. There's an anon who aggressively shilled vapor trail for awhile
>>43006560I wonder if the board needs some kind of content creation event that is just on the board, for the board only. like the game jams but more general. or prompts from T:EM/P/O when those were a thing
>>43006662Maybe it'll help. Maybe it won't. I don't know, and personally I wouldn't care if they happened or not. I already gave up on this shithole and the stragglers that still come here.
>>43006662The ratio of creatives to raiders/trolls is too out of wack for it to work, but one can hope.
>>43001527What did you say to Rarity that made her have this face?
>>43006705Nothing. My aura naturally makes females dislike me.
>>43006746Anon... shower more often. Please.
>>43006342>purity spiralingThey may be more restrictive in content than here, but is it really spiraling if they haven't changed since the day they opened?
>>43006858No.
>>43006506I personally think Scruffening 2.0 is to blame. The rules may be reverted but the writefags never came back.
>>43006867They whined to the admin to have more things banned during the hack and shit up said threads, it's the definition of purity spiraling
>>43006890That was /mlp/ refugees, not NHNB regulars. Way to prove yourselves as the problems.
>>43006890What did the admin do?
>>43006955>Muh no true horsemanNope, not buying it.
>>43001552indeed, love all his human/pony artwork>>43002737your art good friend
>>43003373for me i look at the filenames first.
>>43007004less than a hand full of people will actually read the filename. you gotta make shit very fucking obvious. the average person hardly reads unless its clickbait.
>>43003294Here you go anon, a unique and never posted before amateur drawing by me who is new to drawing and drawing mares since 4 months ago.
>>43007020This is cute artstyle.
>>43007020I like it.
>>43006556Seethe. AI is here to stay so you better adapt or get replaced.
>>43006564>>43006574I only know that there's a secret pedo cabal with people like Shinodage and Pestil in it, though I have no idea how people get in. They probably also share legit pizza with each other in there since they're so secretive about it.
>>43006867Doesn't matter. The fact they banned G5 despite it having nothing to do with the creation of the board (the rejection of barbies) was enough to dissuade me. I like to discuss other things besides G4, and yes I actually like the G5 ponies (the show not so much) so you'll never find me on your site even if 4chan disappears again forever.
>>43006975I seriously wonder what they even want to talk about on there. The most active thread is literally the one whining they got banned from /mlp/.
>>43007020:thumbsup:
>>43007137It's a place made entirely out of spite, what do you expect? They jut get off on having a sekrit club that doesn't allow [thing that pisses the admin off]
>>43007137Actually, the most active threads on the board revolved around greentext. /bug/ had the early lead with Notaulix. And after that it was mostly /bootleg/ that held a lot of the activity. And there were others as well. But now that most the greens have died off so has a lot of the activity in general.
>>43007135>and yes I actually like the G5 ponies
>>43007260Enjoy your dead board.
>>43002606Nigga didn't give a single fuck, absolute chad.
>>43006578You are just as free to shill your own work just as aggressively. You do have work to shill, right, Anon?
>>43007154/bootleg/ came from /mlp/ you stupid faggot, they were the opposite of nhnb's puritards and only used it as a bunker being knocked off by raids
>>43007293>Barbiejeet
>>43007293Anon, all of NHNB originated from /mlp/. And it's not an issue. NHNB isn't in competition with the board. It's just another website that Anon's can also post about fim on.How did this thread even become about NHNB anyway? I thought this was supposed to be about wacky artist names?
>>43007297>barbie out of thin airBro's fighting ghosts
>>43007316It became about nhnb because like always, nhnb autists spewing their crap about their purity spiral being good and we should all just post there >>43006250 when the only time they're friendly is when you suck the cock and fall in line
>>43006226Good goy, keep taking those shoahs, no matter how unlawful they are.
