Are artists really all scattered in small discord servers? That is so fucking lame, I miss the conceptart.org days. WetCanvas is just boomers in their 80s. While discord is a bunch of kids doing fnaf OCs or whatever popular mascot they orbit around nowadays
>>7817028The internet is dead, sorry bro. Welcome to the club.
>>7817028chatrooms give me anxiety now.
>>7817049don't look down, there is a shadow following you around
I usually just stalk small artists my age on twitch and use their live chats as ways to make connections.
>>7817028Artists splintered off into small private groups, small niche sites or they stay in their own algorithm bubbles on the big platforms. I doubt that there will ever be another decent sized art platform.
>>7817028divide and conquer. discord servers are dogshit and never last more than 2 years
>>7817172Even /ic/ has several servers older than 3 years buddy
>misses concepart days>somehow not in the discord servers of boomer artistsconcepart days is long over the moment the internet became affordable to non-white countries.
>>7817028i just hate discord as a platform, it's a nightmare to use. artists will link their discord in their patreon to stop web scrapers like kemono and then you have to get approval from their discord lackies in order to ask questions, DM, or comment in the server. it's a fucking nightmare.
>>7817172if everywhere smells like shit its time to check under your nose
>>7817028The bigger an /ic/ server gets the shitter it gets. Find a server around 50-100 people or less and then invest your time and effort into the place. Much more fun that way.
>>7818064i'd love some suggestions but among the ones frequently posted here, i've only managed to find>furfag leftypol circlejerk>leftypol circlejerk>drawfag/paintfag elitist circlejerk>general art server that allows an AIfag and a 'jak-party nodraw accesswhatever happened to art communities that just posted art without any of the shitty e-drama whoring & shit stirring
>>7817028>Are artists really all scattered in small discord servers?Only the small time hobbiests. The big boys have a large audience and are pulling traffic to their own content spots. (Not me)
>>7817208If you stop being racist for just one minute you’d know CA forums killed themselves by being greedy with their subscription art school gimmick.
>>7822901In fact, they’d probably still be around if it wasn’t for that and the owner being a useless piece of shit. Forms are still alive and thriving on other sites that were around in that era.
>>7817028It’s the only way to fight the pajeet problem.

>>7822929Just once I want see the art of a pro isolation anon on /ic/. Not even a gothca, I just want to see how far you are fairing without any outise communities.
>>7822967if you ask me, that's kind of nutjob mentality if you believe someone can make no progress unless they join a "community"It's the same as thinking a person stops existing once you close your eyes.
>>7822929I don't completely disagree. Current socmed is fucking cancer but in my opinion you're trading social media ragebait nutjobs for discord circlejerk clique nutjobs. I don't think it has much correlation if any to the quality of art that comes from the socmed artist or the isolationist artist. What's stopping either of them from letting a little bit of dunning kruger get to their heads?
>>7822889>drawfag/paintfag elitist circlejerkI don't frequent these places, but you'd have to be retarded to enter a traditional art server and wonder why no one cares about your digital paintings.
>>7822986That guy isnt saying that at all but your cope is noticed
>>7822986That's like saying there are good fighters without sparring. Of course they exist.
I see the replies i am pro pro isolation anon
>>7822889be the change you want to see in the world anonyou can join any server and ignore nonsense you don't care about. pyw, comment on other people's work, move on as you like.
>>7817172Cuz they don't know how to run shit and the really good ones are gatekept to hell kek t. runs a utopia
>>7822889>>drawfag/paintfag elitist circlejerkwhat does this even mean
>>7817028conceptart.org was only a small part of the overall art community
>>7822929You think you are sharing some grand revelation on this matter but in reality, all you are admitting is that you weren't good enough to get into well gatekept communities with people who were serious about art, nor are you capable of creating one. I see right through you.
>>7823089>>7823393there are more ways to make art than those that feature a pencil / paintbrush / stylus>>7823276>you can join any server and ignore nonsense you don't care about.works until you've got a horde of furfags and trannies nipping at your heels with troll & bait posts trying to harass you out of their clique party server.
>>7817028You're not gonna find millenials/zoomie artists. They're all have jobs and commitments
>>7817028It is unfortunate.https://discord.gg/R3NtN4Sbch
