Tfw this board doesn't get as many drawfags in cartoon anymore

>tfw this board doesn't get as many drawfags in cartoon anymore
What happened?

Judgmental aspie faggots happened

reddit happened

Isn't this the same answer?

This plus Sup Forums isn't as "it" as it used to be

Too many autist shitposting on drawfags

The drawfags went to /trash/ and other boards

>muh reddit boogeyman
Reddit makes OC sometimes. It's the fear of being seen as Reddit that killed Sup Forums's creativity and sense of humor. I remember when MSPaint comics were common here, now they're "cringe" because Reddit likes them.
The fact that you'll accuse me of being Reddit for this post, instead of making an argument, just shows how irrational your fear is.

Now even liking newgrounds stuff or adult comedy cartoons is considered reddit.

here's my argument;

you're absolutely right, reddit makes content, but it makes content for the purpose of advancing socially as a redditor, not to offer something that people will enjoy. Reddit, like all message boards with usernames and voting systems, is a hierarchy, everyone scrambles to one up each other, creating content that they think will catch the wind and blow them upwards, not content they actually want to make or enjoy making, that will always be the distinction, and why reddit and every other place like it is cancer.

>all stuff on pic related is considered reddit by some faggots here.
when the contrarian bullshit goes too far?

Except that Sup Forums don't create anything anymore, drawthread in all board are at an all time low they all are 60% request, 39% people arguing over other people request and only 1% delivery. Sup Forums didn't have a single original meme who try to be funny since baneposting, all the new one are either from other site or meme created just to shitpost like "kino" or "X doesn't ex...". Reddit may create for e-fame but at least they create.

>America, like all nations with private enterprise and free market systems, is a hierarchy, everyone scrambles to one up each other, creating content that they think will outsell the competition and gain them the most profit, not content they actually want to make or enjoy making, that will always be the distinction, and why America and every other place like it is cancer.

Maybe they got bored of the endless thirst in the drawthread. It doesn't help that the mods delete anything that trigger them.

Off-topic threads about youtube e-celebs are reddit as fuck though.

Go learn to draw yourself

They grew up and left,you should too.

The mods. A lot of artists hate the shit out of Sup Forums moderation. If you post something that trigger them you will get banned. Now the drawfags are on /trash/ and other boards. Mods are killing this board

They went to boards and other generals where their free work is appreciated, rather than met with "fuck you why didn't you do my request I hope you die Goddammit please do my request please please please."

And what everyone else said.

>for the purpose of advancing socially as a redditor
That's not how that works though, you don't get promoted as a content user. It's pretty much they're way to bump a thread

This. I fucking hate all you faggots

It's hard;-;

No it's not. I could whip-out my own version of the Mona Lisa in less than a minute.

Pretty much this, honestly.

I don't do stuff in the drawthreads anymore. I hate that I sound entitled when I say this, but too many people are ungrateful for deliveries I did, or in general. Too many responses of "Why did you do that request and not mine?" or "nude variant when?" or my personal favorite of mine, where they just respond to a delivery with a link to their request.

At this point, I just let general threads inspire work. If there's a Dominator thread up, then I'll draw some Dominator and drop it in there.

And I know this really sucks, but artists tend to flock to others artists. That's part of why /ctg/ got so big, a bunch of artists were interested, and the other artists were more likely to appreciate the work one put in.

A lot of us drawfags are still here, we're just taking fewer requests it seems.

I drawfag and I've developed a pretty thick skin so I don't really give a fuck what anyone says about me or my drawings, but a lot of people on Sup Forums these days act like entitled little shits who deserve commission-tier art for their requests and like this is /ic/. But unlike /ic/, Sup Forums art "critics" don't know what the fuck they're talking about and are hardly ever constructive in their criticism, just insulting.

Drawfags mainly draw for fun, if you're trying to have fun with Anons and draw things for them you think they'd like only to be confronted with a barrage of insults, I can see why some drawfags might not enjoy drawing for Sup Forums any more.

fursecutions been on the rise for 2 years, especially with mods
this too, way too many smug moeshit dumb frogposters trying to fit in these days

t. jaded 2011 Sup Forums user

It's not reddit fault you dumb cat. Reddit is just a meme

quick request, can you do a hispanic mickey mouse, frothing at the mouth, violently molesting pluto while pointing and staring towards a horrified goofy while screaming "YOU'RE NEXT"? ty

Its you thirsty fags fault Sup Forums is like this, and when some1 does your request, you insult them. This is why one of our more honorable artist like the dewd rarely draws here

Hi dewd. Your comics and attention whoring attitude still suck, and I say this as a fellow drawfag.

This is the real problem. Its not the fucking userbase it's the retarded mods. There is a janitor that babysits the drawthreads all fucking day and deletes everything that they dont like.

ive known a lot of people that use both, r/Sup Forums is very much a thing too

weve gone mainstream again, deal with it

I'm just pointing out, this is exactly the kind of thread that attracts drawfags like moths.

You got me here.

>Look for something to draw
>Accept something from random user
>Spend a good amount of time and effort on it
>Get nothing but insults

I stopped because there was a point the requests got really fucking boring. It was all "Raven doing _something sexy_" or "Princess Marco dressed like _something sexy". And if I didn't want to do those, all I had left were people who wanted complex full-on illustrations with five characters doing a dynamic action poses.

And a lot of the time, it's the same people posting the same requests and even after their requests were met, they continued to ask for the same request in the next thread. I remember someone asked for something super simple that was different, like X-J9 drinking coffee in the morning, and got four deliveries almost instantly (Including my own) because at least it wasn't just a covered up /aco/ request.

Also there was a point of increase in people nitpicking things they didn't like in your art or calling it shit.

Also I saw this happening a lot. A ton of posts being deleted and I had no idea why. Even my own pic related delivery got deleted along with the requester.

>Sup Forums art "critics" don't know what the fuck they're talking about and are hardly ever constructive in their criticism
Just by looking at the drawthread you can tell that most of those requests are from people that want to jerk off to their waifus, because most of Sup Forums think with their dicks.

I don't drawfag here as much for a few reasons.
First things just have to line up right. I have to have a clear enough schedule to do any of the requests, but I also don't like to post in a dying thread or worse a thread that you literally can't post images in but Mods/shitposters refuse to let die but they also refuse to let a new drawthread be made.
Then there has a to be a request worth doing which some threads can be devoid of.
Also I'm a pretty shit artist, so incentive to drawfag can be low when nobody really gives a fuck that you're doing it. That's time that could be spent becoming a nonshit artist.

I would request in the drawthreads by no one on Sup Forums likes drawing cute furry guys.

The userbase is a problem too. The last year was full of retards forcing the THICC meme. There were threads that were nothing but "DRAWFAGS YOU HAVE TO DRAW THIS CHARACTER THICCCCCCCCC" and "THIS CHARACTER NEEDS MORE PORN, DRAWFAGS!!!!"

It was awful

This

The mods attacked the drawthreads until they were killed.

>Like to draw creative and funny and cute shit.
>Drawthread requests are fetish stuff, fusions, and old shit.

So why bother? If I wanted to draw lewds I'd be hanging around /aco/

...

Sup Forums mods have a real hateboner for lolis and even sfw pics from known loli artists like Simon often get deleted if they're reposted. I imagine that's driven a few drawfags off or at least stopped them posting their work here. Even /trash/, for all its disgusting furry fetish porn doesn't allow loli so Pixiv and other chans are the only places some drawfags can post their stuff now.

its basically your own fault for taking drawfags for granted rather than becoming inspired to be a drawfag yourself, like those who came before you did

>Sup Forums makes a thicc-tan
>One autist shitposts about how much he hates the character yet offers no way to "fix it" and shits on drawfags who draw it
>other autist invading every thicc thread to proclaim his hate for thicc
>that one false flagging fuck who started every thicc thread with thick-tan drawings
>every artist who had a hand in thicc-tan promptly regrets their involvement and leaves

Hey I think I found a perfect example as to why artists left /co:

Basically this
I think a lot of it boils down to money/awknowledgement as well. Not saying this is true for everyone but it got pretty tiring drawing for people for free when a ton of other artists get something out of it whether it be money or more traction etc etc. Call me greedy but that's one of the main reasons I don't draw requests much even on other websites.

i do...

>defending pure autismo
Kill youself, thiccfag. You are one of the problems in this board

>drawings aren't good enough to charge money for
>people don't appreciate them and say they're shit
>drawings are good enough to charge money for
>stop drawing for free
This is pretty much how it works.

Owlturd comics ruined everything

...

>"lel its your fault my board is the way I want it to be waahhh abloobloobloo"

The thicc threads were fine, its was the constant shitposting fuckery from people who hated thicc that ruined everything

Thicc wouldn't be surrounded by pure autism had people not bitched so hard about it

artist here

Part of it is the guys who spam requests over and over. It's like they have a fetish for getting requests done. I'll see a request, do it, spend hours on it, the dude says thanks. Then immediately requests it again from other artists. So it feels like I just wasted my time. And then every time I see other requests I can't help but wonder if it's the same faggot. I'd rather not do requests at all then risk doing multiple requests for the same cunt that doesn't appreciate it.

Then there's the prudery. Drew an artistic nude, once. Of course this is a blue board, so I put big black censor bars over the girly bits. You literally would have seen more skin if I had drawn her in a bikini. Didn't stop the autistic screeching, of course. "This is a blue board!" "Get that shit off our board" "Go to /aco/ or Sup Forums where you belong" "REEEE!" And then I got reported and banned.

Then there's the sense of self entitlement. Went to a draw thread. It specifically said draw thread. So I posted a character relevant to the board (in fairness this wasn't Sup Forums) I was designing and asked for feedback. More autistic screeching. This thread is only for requests. Am I blind? It says there right in the OP this is for requests only (it didn't). I should only be taking requests. Why won't you do my requests? Your art is horrible. Read Loomis. Will you do my request? What do you mean it doesn't say request thread who do you think you are? You're clearly a troll. And then I got reported and banned.

It used to be that this place and other boards appreciated original content. Now it's just a safe space for 14 year old permavirgin autists.

Long story short: most of the old Sup Forums drawfags who didn't fuck off to tumblr are on /trash/ now

Lel, I lurk and draw but don't post.

Do mods EVER get replaced here? I swear everytime there's a new application the quality of this board does not change for shit.

Cavegirl-fag was by far the worst part of those threads.

I think mods can see what you've posted over the years and can turn you down if you've ever shittalked them before despite your intentions to better your board

Muh dick need more lewd Hekapoo

I limit myself to the threads of things I like/follow...just to be banned for posting perfectly safe/thread related/original content.
I don't mind ,really.I just wait my punish period and get ready for the next time, but I'm not everyone and other drawfags are a lot less tolerant with that shit.

I left because nu Sup Forums is pretty cancerous.

Dude just ban evade. Mods don't respect the rules so why should you?

I really don't understand mods' hateboner for Gumball. I once posted a Gumball and Vegeta request. It got deleted. Seriously what is their problem

As an artfag, I lurk Sup Forums drawfag threads but almost none of the requests interest me aside from characters like Raven, Toph or a qt goth girls.

I think it's that the janitors just report random shit they don't like, and because it's the janitors the mods probably feel more compelled to give a slighter shit and will just ban them without even looking

>that one SU bait thread
>hijack the thread and post cheesecake
>call out the mods that they'll probably ban me but keep ANOTHER BAIT thread up
>gets muted for 14 minutes with the thread still up and after the thread archives I get a ban for the call out post I made

Why are mods such baby bitches

>I limit myself to the threads of things I like/follow.
Same. It's best just to draw for threads instead of going for drawthreads. I mean, I won't disrupt a random thread, but if I see someone with a request and/or fun idea, I'm on that shit. Sup Forums or not, people in regular threads tend to be more than grateful every time you deliver something for them, especially if you surprise em' with it. Also you can receive constructive feedback(sometimes) if you ask.

>even after their requests were met, they continued to ask for the same request in the next thread
Couldn't stand that. It's extra irritating when they think they're slick and post the exact same request in a different ~chan's drawthread. Feels like rendering the piece was a waste of time.

As a bit of a drawfag I can confirm. The mods here a horrid.
This is a problem as well,

There are other boards that are infinitely better for drawing, and who appreciate your efforts even if you're not very good.

I like all this mod blaming even though the fucking awful community is probably what's putting drawfags off.

If a bunch of unimaginative, self entitled creeps kept demanding weird, soft core porn from me I'd leave too.

Static IP and not being in the mood...too much trouble for a insignificant issue.

I love the good'ol SURPRISEMUDDAFACKAH art posting style :V

It's the godawful mix of them, shit mods and shit users

I have a feeling that the Moderation problem wouldn't be a thing if it weren't for the autistic anons reporting stuff that isn't to their liking.

There was superhero ms paint guy recently.

Yeah. It feels great making someone's day by surprising them. It not only makes the user feel good, but also makes you feel good as well. It's perfect as a warmup if you're having a hard time coming up with something for the day too.

How dare you blame us! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!! your probably a mod trying to cover your own ass!!!

>Sup Forums has become slowly become an autistic waifufag den, more so than ever, particular artists enabling the fuck out of this cancerous behavior
>Anything creative Sup Forums ever attempts to create always moves in the direction of appealing to their dicks which is evidence of the shit they will autistically beg drawfags for
>Mods are retarded assholes who don't give a fuck about enforcing rules and quality control but rather making shit better for themselves

Mods aren't even just a problem on Sup Forums. This site in general has a great amount of overall shitty moderation and the only approaches to fixing the quality on this site are making new, shitty, meaningless boards hoping shit will migrate instead of just cleaning shit up themselves.

Tumblr infestation in this board makes me not want to do shit for you guys fuck you.

Why you ferries think that the world revolves around you? Always.

Mods.

I hate being banned for posting something vaguely suggestive.

what is imgur for you fucking retards

Because the golden age of Sup Forums has long since passed.

Hey Tumblr actually produces art for us what have you done lately

eh I just drawfag here and there, the last ime I drew something was in a SJ fujoshit thread because they were pretty comfy in the beginning

I'd rather get the big notes on tumblr than one cheap thanks from a greasy neckbeard

/aco/ happen, because sex sales. There's literally a Commission Thread.

>It used to be that this place and other boards appreciated original content. Now it's just a safe space for 14 year old permavirgin autists.
Nah, they ain't 14. They're too busy playing COD to give a fuck about this dump. They're, if anything, around 25 years old and very very bored.

Artwork is work and most of you entitled faggots expect us to draw your shit for free.

Cartoons and comics weren't cool so I learnt guitar as a kid instead of drawing.

Pretty much, Sup Forums drawthreads are fucking terrible, the requests are weird, terrible or boring, and are spammed on every new drawthread because it wasn't fulfilled in the previous one

I wanted to participate on them, but none of the request are even fun to try with, fucking /i/ was more fun and creative with they requests, and the fact that that board is slow as hell keeping alive the threads for months is a bonus, I'm just waiting to have more free time to go back.

Hey Shadman.

What do people who hate all of this even watch then?

... That's kind of implicit in showing up here and taking requests, man.

I just want [character] doing something comfy. Liking hanging out on the couch watching TV or reading a book or something.

Something like Alex from Totally spies getting studying for an upcoming test or Zone-Tan doing something like enjoying a day off

Either alone or with user so as to self insert because i'm a piece of shit

But it's usually drowned out by all the lewd requests.

And while i'm not opposed to suggestive images, it's nice to change it up now and then

Some drawfags even when for the big ones and made patreon accounts, like Pepipopo or Watatanza.

But only the ones with worthwhile art.

They don't watch anything and never have. They just bitch.

>Then there's the sense of self entitlement. Went to a draw thread. It specifically said draw thread.

oh man, ALSO THHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!!!

How many times someone posted something for feedback and autismost keep screeching that MAKE A BATMAN THREAD OR A DNUT STEEL THREAD!!!!!! NOT A REQUEST BAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW

There are better boards on the internet, and yet they are merely non-active due to people still being here due to "BUT MAH FAMILIARITY" meme.

>Anything creative Sup Forums ever attempts to create always moves in the direction of appealing to their dicks which is evidence of the shit they will autistically beg drawfags for
>If the OC isn't poorly disguised waifu/fetish fuel they start screeching like retarded monkeys, demanding it to stop because is autistic (unlike demanding lewds 24/7, no sir, that's not autistic)
>Then they start wondering why other boards can get shit done unlike Sup Forums
Hell, this board could give Aaron Diaz and Dobson a run for their money.

Most of that stuff is pretty cancerous, especially the YouTube personalities.

>wants Zone-tan
>not being lewd

One of the big problems with the drawthreads is that there's no Google Doc with commission info. I don't want to wait around for a charity case, I want to get my damn drawing ASAP, and I'll pay for it.

>And a lot of the time, it's the same people posting the same requests and even after their requests were met, they continued to ask for the same request in the next thread.
They probably didn't see that their request was met. Try reposting the image from the previous thread. I've never had my requests met and have reposted my requests multiple times, but maybe I just never saw it?

>They probably didn't see that their request was met.
There's definitely a lot of times people have personally thanked you for it but continue to ask for the same request. I've even seen times people using my delivery as the reference while asking for the same request. I think people just want a mountain of free commissions of the same subject matter.

Interesting.

All the more reason to get a commission doc up. These people want more, they gotta pay.
