muslims are actually prohibited from drawing the human figure. that's why islamic artwork is always abstract patterns. there will never be a muslim art scene because of this.

Looks like you have that NPR "kosher" muslim bullshit. I met and talked with a few for a long time.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/ellievhall/marvel-artist-fired-for-political-messages-snuck-in-comics

It's safe to say that they aren't liberal. They're conservatives who are sick of the degeneracy in that plagues the west. Except instead of arguing with liberals on the internet, they hit them with trucks. It's awesome.

>>2942448
Open your eyes and ears to real women instead of your digital white "friends". Muslims are basically feminists. That's why women are converting and they are spreading the message. They are liberal, they are the future and we should learn from them.

>>2942453

Open your eyes and talk real Muslims, instead of listening to NPR that promote fake "kosher" muslims. They are very far-right and redpilled about the influence of Jews. They certainly don't approve of contemporary art about "liberated" women shitting eggs out of their vagina.

Place started to become /ic9k/ a few years ago once all the good artists stopped posting (Long Ouyang, Tehmeh, Catbib, Onevox). The instead of good artists filling their place it was just a bunch of sadcunts who won't shut up about how they're never going to make it. Kind of like /fit/ after zyzz died.

>>2942467

There are plenty in my area and I talk to them routinely. A lot of them live in my Texas town and integrate pretty well because they share our conservative values.

If /pol/ wants change in the west, then they should drop impractical NatSoc for practical Islam. It solves absolutely everything issue in the west, the degeneracy, the rate of divorces, etc. A major perk is that they have the balls to fight for their ideals instead of being punched like pussy Richard Spencer.

Instead of providing statistics about homosexuals that make them jobless, they gun down hundreds of them in a club.

>>2942469
Love that image. Should be the fucking sticky.

>>2942472
>Instead of providing statistics about homosexuals that make them jobless, they gun down hundreds of them in a club.
hundreds? have you seen their execution videos? thats not even an hours worth of work for them

4chan as a whole has been getting shittier as it's gotten bigger and more mainstream. There's a huge influx of rubbish people that come here, post their rubbish drawings, never having read the sticky and will then get mad at criticism. And then there's all the shitposting

my point is if you want git gud you need to find a better community, the good threads in /ic/ are becoming rarer and rarer

So does anyone know of any other art communities that are useful?
Is that other chans /loomis/ any good?

>>2942477

That's why Varg said that we should allow them in the west. He implies that the western right is filled with docile, compassionate individuals who routinely get stomped on like a bitch. Antifa would only exist as pile of severed heads in a caliphate.

There are no more art communities. Only facebook groups for self-promotion and "C&C welcome xD".

He's completely right. They're the only group of individuals who are successful at eradicating liberals for good. If I had to choose between WN or Islam, it would be Islam because WN only barks, but never bites.

IMO the biggest issues of /ic/ are:
forcing generals
people shitting on beginners, while being unable to give actual advice

Never in my life have I heard something this ridiculous. You're giving me a brain hemorrhage.

I was actually posting here in 2010 when it was mostly tripshits (their names escape me, can only remember tehmeh). It wasn't that great, extremely slow ad I think the overall quality was lower, still a lot of shitposting.

Moreover, CA.org was still a thing back then, so /ic/ hardly seemed bothering with.

>>2942501
>Moreover, CA.org was still a thing back then, so /ic/ hardly seemed bothering with.

So really what this thread is saying is that we no longer have a place to talk shop about art in, just /ic/, artstation which is meh, polygon which is iight, and DEVIANT FUCKING ART.

great

I'll see yall niggaz on permagimps

>>2942499

When antifa tried to recently fight Spencer and Mike of TRS in their anti-war protest, both people immediately ran away like wimps. You can't place your faith in people like that.

I used to be a bitch WN like you, but I lost a lot of faith in them. I became ostracized by white leftist "friends", WNs who got hit/fired like wimps and complained on twitter, and placed my faith in a candidate who turned out to be neocon for Jews. The only people who never left me were Muslims.

There's a reason why all media is being anti-"radical Muslim", and it's because muslims are capable of eradicating liberals and Jews for good. Instead you would rather feel sorry for those who, not only spit on or punch you routinely, but want you jailed and jobless for hate speech. Fuck them, they can get shot and hit by trucks.

I'll be honest, I don't have a good time. Everyone says having an art community to go to is valuable because like minded individuals will make you want to draw too. You cunts do not make me want to draw.

Everyone pines for the ConceptArt.com days where people got gud and had a fun time doing it with peers they liked and respected. But no one here really tries to emulate that attitude. There is no professional, alive or dead, that /ic/ won't shit on. There is no respect for anything or anyone, and because of that when you receive critique on here it can only feel like it comes, not from respect, but malice at wanting to pick something apart.

When the most prevalent meme, joke, or common phrase is a way of putting people down, that's not a good sign. When there are more threads gossiping about artists that there are posts about discussing art, you know the community isn't about work, or even about play, it's about mean spirited drama.

/ic/ has its uses, it's an excellent portal to finding books, tutorials, videos, and other resources. It's a good place to consult for art supply purchases and so forth. But isn't it a shame /ic/'s biggest merit isn't its own work, just aggregating other people's work?

These days I don't even try talking to /ic/ about art or artists or my own work, because you can't appreciate anything on here without people wanting to argue about it. I have a few chat buddies if I need a fellow artist to talk to and a few videos I like to watch if I need motivation to hear about what a real artist is and goes through. I don't even save other anon's art from here anymore, because anytime I share it no one seems to care about the best things going on in the board, and it's not worth the trouble to keep browsing for it to save.

I lurk the artbook threads and occasionally toss in my 2 cents about this or that, like I'm doing now. That's all this board is good for in my eyes.

>>2943890
fuck off, pedro

>>2943890
Find a different community. I agree that 4chan in general has too much negativity. The slower the board, the more cheerful it tends to be. /ic/ has gained some traction (heck, back in 2012 we were so slow we didn't even have moderators).

I think even if you lurk, you pick up on the negativity. I definitely notice myself being more crabby since visiting /ic/ again yesterday and today.

I haven't been on /ic/ as long as some boards, but in my 2+ years here its generally been similarly garbage. Occasionally we get a really fucking bad week, though.

I think the problem is more that you get confirmation bias once you get it in your head /ic/ is going downhill, and you notice all the crap threads you used to not care about. I've developed the habit of just hitting the hide button for all the standard shitpost threads and its done my blood pressure a big favor.

>>2943985
Are you fucking retarded? How do shitposts on an anonymous website raise your blood pressure? Like wtf? What would happen if something actually bad happened to you?

The solution is to ban "Le General" theads on /pol/. It creates insilure communities who don't assimilate to the culture, provoking the Shill and Troll cycle, creating greater hostility on all boards because of crossover. Chans are specifically setup not to be 24/7 general theads, it upsets the ecosystem on the entire site.

He's right, Muslims aren't allowed to draw living things. It's not going to get you killed or anything, but frowned upon in some countries. Not all of them, I live in a relatively moderate Muslim country, my friends and family like my drawings.

This place isn't that toxic, it's actually pretty nice as far as 4chan communities go. Probably because of the significantly smaller size and the higher proportion of female users here (I swear it's like 50% women in here)
