A: The best discords are ones where no one is linking their twitter when they post art

B: Not build around a cult of personality IE: big artists discord

C: No degenerate art

>>7875318
And could you give me any server recomendation or at the very least a tip on where can i start looking? I've been posting My stuff i'm newgrounds since at the very least people see it i'm there, unlike social media where you are invisible unless you already have a small fanbase formed, but i want a couple more options and i thought maybe discord is a good place to start

>>7875312
Why should I tell you lol? Why should I tell the fucktards on /ic/?

>>7875325
Honestly, the only way to get in good servers is to join the shitty ones, post good art and be normal.

Eventually, people will invite you to smaller servers with less weirdos. It's just a matter of be reasonably decent at drawing and dont be a fucking weirdo.

interact with people like you're friends, but dont make fun of them or their art. Be nice, friendly. If someone critiques you and you didn't ask for it, just brush it off and say "thank you" and then disregard the critique mentally. If someone asks for critique, be nice and point out their flaws without insulting them. If someone is being annoying and venting, just fucking ignore it or make a simply sympathetic comment instead of making fun of them. Don't constantly complain, whether that be about your life, your art, your career, etc. If youre constantly a mopey bummer, nobody wants to be around you.

9/10 people who cant find 'good' discords are just straight up animals who fail at the above.

>>7875312
Violet clover

what do people do on art discords? share your work to get some emojis appearing under it?

>>7875383
Yes. There are people that treat it as a place where one can chat but across dozens of art servers there always was one thing in common: the people who chat often end up either abandoning drawing completely or just invest so little effort that they stagnate for years. That's how servers end up with people who chat 24/7 and yet did not draw anything for months

>>7875383
My only hobby is drawing and I get lonely so its nice to just chat to people even if ill never meet them. Maybe I am pathetic but that's how I use discord.

>>7875422
No need for Discord for that.
t. sits in a halfdozen esoteric chatrooms the Internet forgot, no registration, yes streaming video if want

>>7875383
I'm from a shithole and have zero friend so i use discord to simulate a art school like environment

If you're not a weird degenerate, you wouldn't seek communities.

of course there are, but if you think im going to open the floodgates to a bunch of autistic 4chan sociopaths you're dead fucking wrong
instead i'll teach you how to catch your own proverbial fish.
1) meet like-minded people
2) be likeable ( <- most of you will fuck up on this step)
3) interact with the people
congratulations! you've now formed a network of peers. make a creative community with them.

Objective truthnuke
any discord that unironically has more then ~50+ users ends up turning into a festering wound over time. I absolutely fucking hate that it's the norm for games to exclusively keep information in their discord ((community)), instead of updating their fucking wikis or keeping it on forums that are easier to search at least. It's just a place where any useful discussion or information goes to die and be forgotten, with discord's shitty indexing breaking half of the fucking time when I try to search something (there also isn't wildcard search controls or ability to look for direct keywords)

It just feels like the well of information people have access to gets more polluted each day, filtering back by specific year helps (as you can dodge explosions in third world mobile users that contribute to intensifying everything), but the opportunity to archive tutorials, useful guides, other info, etc is quickly dying out. I should probably start making my own local archive..

>be likeable
Anon, you know where we are right? The tism' is rampant, else we wouldn't be stuck here. Plus interacting with normalfags can get grating and insufferable to some point.
If (you) have any resources on knowing the secret sauce of "likeability" and somehow magically reading the nonexistent online room (you can't rely on social queues or facial/body language like you can IRL) then let me know.
It gets especially grating when a janitor/admin tells you that people are "complaining about you" but provides no further context or information to help you improve your behaviour, or when a website/rules page says "feel free to contact the admin/owner", but the admin/owner you contact feels borderline hostile or condescending like you're wasting their time for asking a question.

If you want a good community, you have to build it from the ground up. There are plenty of nice anons that you can find common ground with, who would be happy to have a shared space where they can learn and support one another. Just keep the schizos out lol.

>>7875350
>Why should I tell the fucktards on /ic/?
Because you're one of the fucktards of /ic/, fucktard.
Not that a contrarian 'edgy funnyguy' like you is part of any community anyway.

>be likeable
>in the era of grifters, narcissists and otherwise epic content creators trying to hustle and do anything for a handful of likes
being likeable means contributing to the social cancer and never risking offending anyone
Just saying "no" to unreasonable demands is seen as a threat nowadays.

Discord is exclusively used by mentally ill people, you need to find a local art community

i will only be friends with you if you aren't ashamed to go outside

>>7875555
>but me? I’m one of those high class Chads, not mentally ill.

The people at the local art gathering are not making anime smut. The internet links you with people that make what you make and it just so happens they’re not “normal”.

>>7875565
I just want to find my fellow toaster fuckers.

>>7875565
Drawing tranime automatically puts you in the mentally ill category

>>7875565
I have been at the local art gathering and there were only three people that made money off art: me, drawing smut, then another guy that was drawing smut and had 30 000 followers, then a girl that was doing environments for corps. Surely there were some people drawing SFW but they did not make any money and usually had low skills

i'm too much of a goddamn autist to actually mesh in with any art community, I want to connect to other people but the thought of talking to others and actually opening up absolutely horrifies me. its so over for me

just join a big official art server
i dont have conversations

nobody bothers anyone

>>7875386
Wonder if it'd be possible to code a discord bot that doesn't let you chat unless you've posted an image in an art channel the past 10 days.

>>7875583
If your goal is to make money, drawing in any way is probably one of the worst ways to do it. Minimum wagecucking for a year will make you more money than 10 years as an artist

Just one of the reasons why you don't take discord server advice from /pol/fag misanthropes that swear they have all the answers for art discords while creating zero.

The fact that a fourth of the post here are making excuses to why likability is hard for them is how you know /ic/ has too many poorly socialized tards running around.

>>7875482
>It gets especially grating when a janitor/admin tells you that people are "complaining about you" but provides no further context or information to help you improve your behavior
People like you is why my cord straight up bans people off of vibes alone. Think about it, You're basically admitting that you are a grown ass adult that still needs to explicitly told to shut the fuck up/ or stop complaining about stupid shit all the time in VC/chat but you can't even surmise that you are a problem because you are too autistic to read a room. You are a burden looking for free therapy sessions anon and this is why you get kicked from discords.

>>7875492
Literally this. Those good servers /ic/ laments about requires time and effort to build but /ic/ always want to create a discord with little to no rules or gatekeeping than immediately walk away from it hoping it will sustain itself in the owner's absence. If you build shit, you get shit.

>>7875756
A collection of artists who are nice and helpful. When I post for critique they genuinely try to help and give good advice. They are nice to talk to and arent schizo.

But Discord is completely dead and only used by degenerates.
Text-to-speech completely ruined the app's reputation simply by showing what goes on on there.

Why bother with a discord when you can just dm artists in the niche you like? In a server you need to waste time making yourself known and there may not even be anyone worthwhile, who spends their time chatting on random servers?

>still using 80%botter

this thread is perfect example as to why alot of you guys have 0 friends. Seriously, how hard is it to be a normal person? I'm in like 3 art discords right now, each with at the very most 40 people. It's pretty boring, but that's cause most people just chill and draw and have normal lives outside of art, and each of them i got invited to just cause i knew one person who was in it and i asked and i got in. Genuinely just make friends holy fuck.

>you have 0 friends

>a gigantic faggot and the buttmonkey of atleast 3 discord servers

Oh no

I've never seen someone with lots of friends have any meaningful relationships or existences since all they do is attempt to humiliate others that don't share the same twisted and shallow social worth as they always desperately try to make real.
Friends are found, not sought after or collected; and misery always seeks company.

lmao

>>7876318
Then that server turns to shit, or pitters out - because despite the weird shit there is synthesis among certain people. They don't have to be clean or agreeable, or anything you're expecting, they just have the magic and when they're gone something from the egregore is missing, things don't hit the way they used to.

Trying to find a good discord is like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Sometimes that shit is a temporary synthesis. It's a unicorn if you're looking for it and you should just be grateful that it happened at all if it happened to you. But in the end it really is zero sum and you will be up to your neck in faggots.

Would you mind sharing an invite for the server? (Violet Clovers)

Discord is like the same shit as social media followers; the moment someone realizes and points out that both are objectively worthless as in:
>discords are just either high school drama shit full of minors and mentally ill chasing social value they couldn't get irl
>followers are just another fake metric they use as to feel socially superior to others, even though 80% of the whole traffic on all social platforms are bots, with the rest being doomscrollers or the same type of marketing geniuses trying to grind and hustle
it makes these bots boil with the rage of 6 million suns because you are threatening their whole social value and what they believe to be their ticket out of their misery.
Both a "community" and "followers" are objectively worthless and they know it, but they can only force a value if others perceive discord and social media numbers as having worth.

This shit attracts kids, narcissists, criminals and/or otherwise extremely and unfathomably shallow and mentally deranged subhumans that will stab you the dick for a penny or because the voices in their walls told them to, if they're not just drama chasers.
You don't want to be around them and you don't want to "network" with them since they are the exact type of people making the open internet unusable to push everyone into their closed circles they can manipulate and control however they want, since "if you have a social circle attached to your online activity; you won't think, do or say a wrong or dare to disagree as to not get cast out".

By joining a discord, you're cucking yourself, your art and possibly any real future career opportunity.

>>7876590
>Both a "community" and "followers" are objectively worthless and they know it, but they can only force a value if others perceive discord and social media numbers as having worth

I wouldn't say useless, but very temporally fragile, especially when you factor in all of the ego mechanics that occur to form a community to begin with.

Manufacted consensus? The popular opinion is that discord servers all suck ass. The only ones fighting against any manufactured consensus here is the people in favor of art servers.

Do it and see for yourself how no high quality users actually want to hang around your spastic ass. You will just see the same retarded trannies like you join, do drama, post cheesepizza and then fuck off to another trannycord or you'll delete the server because people are submitting to your admin powers and sending you pictures of themselves while crossdressing and cutting their arms.

Just shut the fuck up and go draw or kill yourself already

It isn't all so much that as much as it cultivates a lot of the pro-social compromises for whatever good of it sticks. You end up tolerating people long after their subversive crap is known, especially if they're faggot tankies who worm their way into moderator positions and ruin the server. Other times you play the dumb social game and win, but then you see too much - know too much about some people.

You're forced to acknowledge that these things have a lifespan, and that those forever friends are sparse, to the point where you have to wonder why you ever tolerated any of it.

>>7876960
You have to understand, for every one bro there are about a dozen no-draw trannies you have to babysit and a dozen more you're forced to tolerate.

>>7876974
And the servers that ask for works to join?

>>7876997
They tend to be stale and transactional, performative even, and fall prey to probably even more aggressive ego dynamics. I remember a server that was competing with mine switched it up on their users and that was that - they were otherwise a good enough lot.

>>7877004
I think that was Olly's server, before cooldogs.

Artist discord servers, not just the /ic/-based ones, are retarded fag fests. I’ve been kicked out of every one I’ve made the mistake of joining because everyone else there was too pussy to put up with someone who had balls.

>>7877004
And that's the actual point of these "communities".
Most of these people don't want to do shit, they're just there to hope they will be allowed into the twitter engagement circlejerk or magically get scouted to work as famous artist that earns 10 gajillion patreonbux a month for not even drawing.

>>7877026
Nothing wrong with networking and hoping for the best, but I guess I always preferred the premise of growth above all else.

So what is the solution

>I’ve been kicked out of every one I’ve made the mistake of joining because everyone else there was too pussy to put up with someone who had balls.

The final solution is to accept the structural imperfection for what it is and its fleeting nature, even among seemingly good friends.

Also, if you get the garden hermit type schizo never, ever, ever let him go.

>>7877088

>>7877091
Weird, wise, and most importantly - keeps the more exotic archetypes/retards in check by reciprocating more attention than most people can give. When that guy fucks off everything tends to go to shit.

>>7877091
A garden hermit is a kind of occupation that french nobility employed sometimes. The garden hermit's main duty was to live in a picturesque shack in the garden and wander around while looking scruffy and mysterious, in order to make the garden look a bit like a place out of a fairy tale.

I have no idea what a garden hermit schizo is supposed to look like over Discord, though.

yeah a garden hermit is cool, but most who seek a community are swamp goblins

>>7876587
I think we have enough nodraws lmao

>>7877141
In my experience its 33% goblins who need to be ID'd and dealth with before they ruin your village , 33% looking to seetle into a new town for good and 33% people are actually just traveling from there hometown to hang out in yours. It is important to find ways to please the community do have with incentives and find ways to include them. If your discord isn't offering anything of interest people aren't going to stick around for very long. If you can't find the community you want you have you to make it, then eliminate anyone who threatens you hard work. Just my two cents.

>>7879851
The only person that sperged out was him funny enough. Violet clover was nothing but a dead server where people only link socials and left for years on end. However, he only deleted 100 users at random AFTER his other rebranding server failed while the VC server got suddenly abandoned by the unironic e girl LARPing tranny who got outed and people came to /ic/ to talk about poor leadership and the people running the circus. People pointing out that he was 40+years old autistic NGMI still doing photo studies and saying pedo shit about children in other discord(s) made him lose his shit, delete all the channels, blindly delete 100 users without even know who was from 4chan and who wasn't, then blamed 4chan for making him shoot himself in the head when people naturally went "WTF?" Man, Magicman was a tard.

>>7879887
he killed off catfag anon
he left all the other servers afterwards
it's not fair bros...

>>7879887

So are there any better art servers then? Magicman is a retarded studycel but it's really hard to find any decent art discords in general. It seems every art server on the internet turns into a gaggle of NGMI nodraws, or fetish based content. I lurk in VC now and it seems like there's at least a handful of decent non autistic artists there.

It’s impressive that you can’t wrap your head around the idea that the discord server with more discriminating admissions (hence lower member count) is the more prestigious one. Are you a nigger or jeet or something? How’d you get to be so fucking stupid? Is everyone else in your piece of shit server such an idiot?

I agree, and to add, I wonder to what extent is being likeable not just one sided glazing? Honestly I hate to be the one carrying the conversation through one-sidedly talking to the artists about their creations and plans. When it comes to my side, it's always dead responses like "ok", "cool", "I see". And in the brief silence, I break it by talking about their other pieces then they continue on talking. What the hell...

What are some good alternatives to discord now that corporate greed has enshittified it?

I'm tired of walking on eggshells when talking to humans. talking fucking sucks, I wish I could just read people's minds and get what I want out of them without relying on them filtering their thoughts or choosing not to cooperate.

>>7885174
the way you learn to not need guidelines is to use them enough. You are conflating your inability to use and understand construction based approaches to art as a failure of construction rather than as a failure of your own understanding. I have looked through it and it is absolutely nonsensical.

You are literally selling this on Amazon, and you simply do not have the experience or knowledge to say this system works. At the very least, get good and THEN sell your course. You are skipping the git gud part before selling. I looked at the amazon link and it's shocking that you'd sell this for £7 online. Even worse when you state the book is incomplete, but you're selling it as a paperback.

I dont know how else to say this, but teaching when you do not have expertise is inherently damaging to people who study under you. You wouldn't expect to try to teach Physics without having a good understanding of Mathematics, so why on gods name do people think they can teach art without having any understanding of the fundamentals of art?

You tell me to read your book, maybe you should read a book on construction or other fundamentals before dismissing it.

>>7885189
The way you learn to not need guidelines is to use them so much you can basically skip them*

>>7885189
You’re just a crab like everyone else here. Closed minded people like you don’t understand that art is about innovation and finding new methods. Just because you aren’t smart enough to implement my methods doesn’t mean that others won’t. I don’t think the price I listed is unreasonable at all. I’ve studied art theory far more than you have and I put in months of work writing it. You spew all that just to tell me to learn construction. Hilarious. Any other bad advice you’d like to give?

>>7885189

Discord is what you make of it, but it is true that there are Discord servers for everything and that millions of people have known each other exclusively through Discord. You are a vanishingly small minority in that regard.
You thought VTubers put an invite link in their profile and people join thinking "yeah, my fried Cornelius and the mates from the basket weaving club are gonna be there" ? You think invite links are posted on /soc/ with the sole intention of meeting people you already know?

never opposed to making new friends and frankly I could really use some more. I’m just one of those dumb fucks who has some complex about needing to meet friends “naturally” and still lives in the paranoid “never tell people your real name online” era - which is probably why it never occurred to me to surf discord for friendships or hobby groups. It doesn’t help I’m turbo shy about my drawing, too.

Though realistically that’s probably just antisocial copium. I’m very good at that.

I’ve only ever met anons IRL by chance when I was an underageb& and went to third spaces other than my cube and couch. Some legend said zozzle to my face unprovoked.
