Have you ever recommended the AC to other artists?

bombardier · January 2013

Do you tell everybody you see how much you love (or hate) the AC? Are you ashamed to even post here but keep crawling back? What do you tell them about it if you do?

Angel_of_Bacon · January 2013

At work once- I forgot how this happened, I think I linked to something on my webspace as a joke and it snowballed- someone happened upon my internet persona on here at a time when the chat thread was helpfully titled, "Let's [CHAT] about Angel_of_Bacon's boobies".

Pretty sure it's for the best that I try to keep the worlds apart for the sake of my career/real life friendships...too many instances of me saying and drawing stupid things that would be embarrassing out of context that I would have to play down otherwise.

That is amazing, AoB

...and I recommend this place to a lot of people, but I think many I mention it to IRL tend to be hesitant if they're not used to the idea of forum-ing...(also, I think the idea that we're ultra-meanies is still pretty prevalent in other areas of PA...even though things here are much different compared to a few years ago, I get that impression that non-regulars haven't really been around to see that change).

Iruka · January 2013

I've tried to pull some people in, but I've only been successful a couple times. Forums heavily out weigh my internet activities in other places (FB, tumblr, DA,) so I feel like people I recommend this to already have a "base" for their internet activity, and don't see the benefit of another.

Sometimes people get pulled in by a really good crit, or insightful, thoughtful comments. Fly by postings never garner the same type of input as people who are really trying to hack it, so I think some people from DA/Tumblr that I've recommend this too don't see it as a useful outlet for them.

This place is pretty rad though.

Wassermelone · January 2013

I've recommended it to a couple people, but I don't think its ever gotten any purchase.

brokecracker · January 2013

I actually just recommended the forums to someone on tumblr. I think it is a great place for people who want an active community rather than a social network.

CommunistCow · January 2013

No, and I don't really know any other artists.

francium · January 2013

Monkeybox recommended AC to me. I have not passed it on yet, this is still my first 6 months.

Nappuccino · January 2013

I've recommended it to people, especially friends who are trying to learn to draw.

I don't think I've ever seen one of them show up here.

TheJoe · January 2013

I stumbled here after finally checking out penny arcade website after a reddit AMA. I wish someone showed me this sooner, but then again I've only been actively looking for some kind of drawing forum for two months, I don't know anyone else that really draws, so ... ya. There was no hope for word-of-mouth for me to begin with.

sharky t · February 2013

I've talked to a few artists on the Internet about the forum but not desperately getting them to join

SeraphSword · February 2013

I don't think I've recommended this to anyone, but no-one in my social circle is really into art. I mostly wound up here because the Drawing Board became a wasteland and this is a bit less overwhelming than CA (where I used to post a lot). This place has a good mix of talented folks and aspiring artists, which is essential in a good forum.

ninjai · February 2013

I have a question that you could do a poll on bomby.

Does anyone know ac people IRL... y'know cuz it ties in with this question. If you recommended the forum to friends irl then... y'know...

o never mind :C

PierceNeck · February 2013

I have no friends. I've recommended this to myself though.

Siegfried · February 2013

@molybdenum and I just recommended this to a friend today, let's hope he takes the bait

On that note, if I ever start to hear voices I'll be sure to recommend this place to them.

Brolo · March 2013

I've told a few people to stop by here.

jwadd · March 2013

If i had more friend that drew pictures i would tell them to hang out here, but im forever arone

.Tripwire. · April 2013

It comes up more often than I'd have guessed, whenever people ask me how I got started in art or how I came to know X, where X is any of the awesome artists I befriended in these here parts.

spawnoftheED · April 2013

I hang out with a lot of other artist and designers but i don't think they really care to join forums.
