What are the best art communities around today for sketchbooks, critiques, and high profile users? Is there anything on the level of old concpetart.org, or is the community just fractured and destroyed now?
Thanks.
(Artist is Yuriy Chemezov, by the way.)
I hope someone suggests something good.
This place sucks even worse than before

Well I saw that there is a group of people attempting to create CGhub 2.0 of sorts called CGplus, but the place is dead. It's just hard to find a good art community.
I went to DrawCrowd today, and there is anime porn all over the front page.
Private, smaller Facebook groups (not Level Up!) can be really great. The more niche the group, the better. Search for communities based on industry or subject matter.
Fantasy/sci-fi/concept art based groups tend to be full of drama queens & immature shitters - I don't know where to go for that. Other outlets of illustration (which /ic/ widely ignores) are still around - thought "digital painting" groups tend to be the most popular.
Absolutely nothing beats 1 on 1 feedback with a peer who you admire and respect (and is preferably better than you). Having someone you can shoot a WIP to and having them actually care enough to really give thorough feedback is invaluable.
I would never actually share any of my go-to communities on /ic/, and I advise anyone to do the same.

How about permanoobs? I never really go there but I heard about it when it was founded and it seems to still be active.
