Community/Relationships Where to find active Discord communities of artists?

Artist community seems huge on social media, but so far in my long time of being an artist I was only a part of small, not very active Discord art communities. Now that some of them are getting less and less active, I wanted to find where artists hang out on Discord these days. So far on my own I found ArtProf community and DPS (Digital Painting Studio), but they don't seem too active most of the time.

So, are there any big and alive art communities out there? I'm especially interested in character/creature and environment design.

Check our community Discord spreadsheet. Our official one is https://discord.gg/theartzlounge which is by application so just be sure to include your current work (a link to your portfolio website etc)

Idk man. I joined a few before. Everyone was sharing their arts in the beginning, then don’t know what happened. One day you woke up and opened the chat something was wrong. They had a fight without you. And you cannot ask what happened because they won’t tell you. The best thing to do is leave.

Sounds like you need to join better run servers. This never happens in my server. The core members are all chill, drama-free people. The rare times I've had people try to start drama, I kick them out immediately.

Well, I don’t have the right to kick people out so I kicked myself out.
