Okay, what the fuck
>conceptart.org is a shithole, challenges are terrible + average total of~4 submissions, all from newbies
>permanoobs - last active challenge is from november last year or something
>artstation - 6667 submissions for their shitty challenge, no forum
Where the fuck do you go to have a comfy motivating art challenges and meaningful discussions with other artists?

The community is way too large to sustain a community like Sijun or old ConceptArt.org again at this point, sadly.
The pro/amateur ratio is completely off, in fact most pros don't even bother interacting with the community directly at this point because they'll be flooded with hundreds of comments from amateurs that they'll never have time to reply to.
Your best option is to fragment into a smaller cell, find some friends to start a private Skype group, Google Hangout, etc with - ideally you want one or two jobbing professionals to every four to six amateurs. This is also far more asshole-proof than large forums or groups.

Most artists use social media for these daily / weekly challenges these days. Sketch dailies on twitter and the facebook spitpaint group are probably the most popular with tons of pros participating.
But yeah, it's a shame that there is no more forum with an active community dedicated to this sort of thing. I loved the Ca.org challenges and how motivating it was to see so many people participate, write crits, share their WIPs, then vote for what work they thought was best etc. That's all gone from the social media equivalent or even LAS.

Right here, family man, we have /las/.

Art forums died years ago when social media hit it big and pros stopped participating in communities.
Find yourself a skype or discord or hangout group with a small number of friends and use that.

If only. It would be awesome to have ongoing weekly / monthly challenge threads on /ic/, but whenever someone makes one, it either gets ignored and dies or it gets like a handful of participants and then dies.

There's a network of secret chats and hangouts passed around form artist to artist these days. I just get links and invites thrown at me.
>oh, conceptart.org, /ic/ told me it's a site for professional or aspiring for pro artists
>oh, job section, let's check it out

Jesus Christ, artists are literal niggers working on cotton fields.

Go back 5+ years and conceptart was very solid and the job postings there were legitimate. It's gone downhill a ton though in the past few years.

only artstations job section is of any value nowadays. ca.org is pretty much just like deviantarts job board.
if i remember correctly companies pay 300-500$ to post a job ad on artstation. so you know shit's legit.

Well yeah, though you know, it's a job section where Blizzard, CCP or CD Projekt Red is.
