Featured Artist: @sweet epoch! This next piece is fanart of the game Cookie Run, and I think it looks beautiful! The use of gradients conveys the artists attention to detail and does an incredible job and creating the distinct forms of the character.

Over the past few months, I find that collaborating with other artists has not only fueled my creativity but it has given me a sense of community and purpose. It has made my journey as an artist a little less lonesome and a little more hopeful of things to come.

Art, as I see it, is all about leaving a mark upon the world. This mark can have many shapes and sizes, and some may argue that it needs to be as big and flashy as possible, but I've learned that even the smallest of marks can have the greatest of impacts. I strive to use art as a means to express my desires and frustrations, my love and my hate, and in the end I believe that it is how I discover myself and grow in this chaotic world. And as long as I never lose sight of myself, I know my mark will remain.

As far as I'm concerned, art is beauty, which is relative to each individual, but as soon as something awakens an inspiration, a mood, makes up feel positive things, you can call it art. Art is a form of communication that can take a lot of forms, depending on and being atypical to each artist. So keep vibing through art, that's what it's for.

*Art; one of the oldest acts to date, with it, giving us splendors and wonders for ages to come. For what we are, and how could things yet to become be without this act? This Ritual of making through which the beings of this planet feel the very gravity of wondering. For what are we without the imagination to create? For everything we see, everything we touch, taste, hear, and even breathe is thanks to the Art. We are all bound to it just as much as we are inevitably drawn to it, for we the many cannot be without it. Art tells us there is more wonder out there than imaginable. Art shows us the possibilities of expanding our limits. Art reassures with opportunities for brighter and more fantastically wondrous paths to forge into the next glistening days of endless fascination. Art allows us to heal just as it allows us to be strong. Art is universal, connecting us in that of a sense of magic; Mysterious as it is, yet familiar as of home. To be made naturally or by the hands of others, the need to create will always grace upon the halls of our minds for it will always continue to guide, through gentle and tough times alike.

Art Saves.*

❗ IMPORTANT NOTICES

AD REMOVED
There was a link to another similar competition here. The company behind the competition decided to do an AI allowed event after our partnered event launched. We do not support AI promotion in any capacity and have terminated the ads.

DomoAI Scare
We have investigated and found that this is nothing but a chain letter designed to scare you. It is just an user account named after the AI, it cannot scrape anything and it's not in any servers. You can ban any IDs even if the member isn't in the server. A member account cannot scrape anything as it would be automatically terminated. And no, as much as we don't like the decisions Discord as a company has been making recently, they aren't involved in this at all. So please chill, everything is under control.

❔ If you have any questions, contact us in #📩・support

And as always, remember to love!

@everyone

🔺SAFETY UPDATES

• The official XPPen Discord was hacked. Do not interact with the channels in the server or any members until an official statement is released. The Owner account was hacked, consider the server compromised until further notice.

• RULES HAVE BEEN UPDATED! A lot of stuff has been added, some stuff has been removed. We are in the process of reworking the server channels for an even better experience for the upcoming art workshops, events, and conferences!

• Recommendation to other communities: If you are not a fan of AI, disable external apps permissions for members. We have seen what's coming, and it's not looking good for us folks in the art community. Take some precautions, and if you haven't turned them off yet, it will save you some headache.

Hopefully the coming months will be less turbulent, fingers crossed!

Congrats to @eager wagon pippa_g on their wonderful entry!

Edit: We have recently discovered that the artist has referenced this piece from another artwork by a different artist. In the future, and we will clarify this for future events, if you take the general idea, subjects, objects and color palette from other work, changing it will count as heavy reference and your rewards will be removed, and a different winner picked. Please only submit original work to the events!

If you see a submission in the submissions channel that's referencing another piece of work let us know in the support channel ASAP! There's a lot of art being made online, and we aren't aware of all of it!

！Tips About Scams and Hacked Accounts

It's important to protect yourself online!

• Never share your login info with anyone (staff from any platform will not ask for this information!)
• Never accept debit or cheque payments on Discord
• Never scan QR codes sent to you by Discord DMs
• Never work with new accounts with default avatars
• Never work with accounts with no server activity
• Never go off platform "to talk"

General rule of thumb: there's no such thing as a free lunch. If something sounds too good to be true, it very likely is.

If you suspect that you are being scammed, check in with us in #📩・support!

@everyone First announcement. (Beat that, Shaun!). We have a suggestions chat now, #💡・suggestions . Feel free to leave any suggestions and we will consider them. (And by we, I mean Shaun.)

4 suggestions already

[quiet knot]

Hi @everyone we have finally added a #608812096796229651 section to the server! I know it took a little time but it's up and so is our raid protection! We are growing strong towards 200 members and I cannot wait to see what our future community holds! If you have any concerns or suggestions about how to expand the server please visit our brand new #💡・suggestions channel. That's all for now, we are always listening and always working on things here so be sure to check the announcements tab weekly to keep up to date with server information! 😃

[open patio]

@everyone I'm proud to announce the logo I animated for the discord with the help of Shaun (because he exported it for me).

[open patio]

@everyone After an eternity working with Shaun nagging me (don't work with him, he's hard ass),I made a final tweak on the logo and it looks ever so sexy. Check it out.

[quiet knot]

Hey @everyone our first server challenge is here! There will only be one winner in these challenges but there will be plenty of different challenges in the future so don't worry! Check out the #609547950309245001 channel to get started.

[open patio]

@everyone I think this is overdue but we reached 200 members :D

[quiet knot]

Hello @everyone! We have added an NSFW channel in the art section. Please make sure you are of age when viewing and only posting art projects in this section! You can view the channel here #610120107469045771.

[open patio]

@everyone For everyone asking for software roles to be added, Shaun and I have decided to replace the software roles with roles that describe the specific type of art you do (I.e. drawing, animation, photo compositing, music, etc.). Just a heads up because I’ve been seeing that a lot in the suggestions.

[open patio]

@everyone We have a drawpile category now! "What is drawpile?" you may be asking. Well, that's what #609893812713553960 is for. Word of warning though, Drawpile is a counter-intuitive program. I suggest taking time to figure it out a bit.

[open patio]

@everyone We has our first drawpile! Thanks to @solid salmon @open patio @magic chasm @devout wolf and @open patio for being pet of this! You can find it in #2020-old⋅gallery along with all future drawpiles.

[quiet knot]

Hello @everyone, the #610120107469045771 channel has been disabled for now. We are currently working on Discord partnership and believe that this may impact our credibility. We will let you know if it will make its return! For now we will keep NSFW content off the server. I apologize for this inconvenience.

Hello @everyone, this is the update you have all been waiting for....

I have changed Anouncements.... to.... Announcements!!

Thank you @frail maple for noticing the typo. If anyone ever has anymore suggestions or notices anything out of the odd you can use our suggestions channel and we will get it fixed ASAP!

A reminder that Saturday is the LAST DAY to enter #607311800349753344 and #609547950309245001. If you have entered an old submission for the Dino week your achievement was removed due to not following the guidelines. (We all slip once and a while) just make sure to re-enter a new piece if you still want the achievement!

That is all for now and I must say I'm really loving the entries in both categories!!

[open patio]

<@&610523446773809162> Im going to be hosting another drawpile tomorrow. Last time we did it, I got a lot of positive response, so we’re gonna do it again.

Hello @everyone, Today is the LAST DAY to enter the #607311800349753344 and #609547950309245001. Winners of these challenges will be the first to receive our featured artist roles which will be displayed separately from the online list. Hurry up and enter before it's too late! Remember that all old pieces created do not count as an entry!

[open patio]

<@&610523446773809162> We finished. You can see the result in #2020-old⋅gallery . Feel free to host any of your own drawpile sessions on this server. Just leave it in #610547791738961930.

[open patio]

@everyone So due to some confusion, I'm gonna explain the difference between #611658877410213888 and #600834546228789261 .

#611658877410213888 is for people to go in, ask for help on how to draw hands or something.
#600834546228789261 is for help on the server, like what roles do, achievements, server related things.

Hope this helps. :D

HAPPY ONE MONTH FAMILY
Today marks our first month here as a community and I must say we are extremely excited to hit this milestone. We currently sit at 500 users in our Discord chat and that is a HUGE deal for only being a month. Our server has gone through a lot of updates, organization and user feedback and we couldn't thank you all enough for helping us get to where we are today. As our family grows we welcome all the new faces here with a friendly smile and a greeting at the door. The team and myself couldn't be any happier with all the support and love that this server has to offer. Happy one month @everyone, thank you for being here!

Use !1month to receive our 100 achievement!

Hey <@&610523446773809162>,
There were some absolutely amazing pieces in our previous week theme so I had to use my mom as a judge again (yeah that’s right my mom) and she has chosen @open patio this month as the weekly themes featured artist!! This piece was also very fun to watch as Ebony posted a lot of his process work over time in the art chats. Congrats to Ebony and good luck to everyone in our new theme #617129358410121226!! ❤️

Hello @everyone,
We have some amazing news! Our lobby has been redone to implement name colors. This will also be the VERY LAST TIME we use the everyone ping! If you want to stay in the loop you can use the new announcement role in the lobby. As we move forward we want to say goodbye to our friend Frank that was known as our I.T guy in the previous lobby. While he was a legend in the server, he will be truly missed.
I hope you enjoy our new lobby!

<@&622687229910974476> - Since we are an art server we want to keep most personal and sensitive topics offline. There are plenty of support servers out there for these types of conversation and they can really impact those around us in an uncomfortable way. We have noticed a few upsetting topics lately in the chats and want to ensure you that although our club is always here for you we are not qualified to handle such personal topics. We have added the command !severe in-case someone is talking about these in chat and it will provide them with links to professional help. We hope that you understand and can continue to enjoy the community!
This rule has been added to the #622132839273594890 channel.

To avoid getting your information taken. Please avoid downloading any .exe files for “cheats or loopholes” in games. Spidey bot is attacking Discord currently so if you have downloaded anything suspicious from a Discord user I recommend uninstalling Discord and reinstalling it. A good way to protect your PC from being infected by malware, spyware, and adware is to install antivirus software. Even Mac users should be cautious of malware: Mac’s layers of built-in security and third-party antivirus apps are never guaranteed 100% protection, so it’s recommended to still install antivirus software for Mac computers.

We have updated the level system. The chatting levels will now be displayed as an emoji in the achievements tab. Some users including myself have been demoted to a lower level but don’t worry chatting is at 2x XP permanently now. This should make the level system and crate system easier to differentiate now! As we continue to grow fast around here we want to utilize the profile feature as much as possible to clear up the clutter and keep it organized. More future updates coming!

REMOVAL OF MARKET PLACE
Don’t worry, you can still gather clients and work for them on discord without a market place. Since marketplaces are against the Discord TOS we have decided to remove ours and replace it with just one channel which is #🛒╭・commissions.
We understand this is a pretty big part of an art server but want to progress from here without one. When Discord allows these features again we will bring it back but for now if you see anyone in the general chat with the client role you can easily send them a DM or message them in #💬・chat.

We are working on partnership with this server so cleaning up some of the sections is what we are currently working on. If you have any suggestions for new or old channels please use /suggest and it will go into our #💡・suggestions channel for users to vote.

Thank you all for the support and we hope you all understand that there is MANY other platforms for sales and we are here to help you with that!

Hi everyone!! Welcome to the Saturday update. I want to try something new where I actually update you every week on what’s new and what’s happening in your server. Since we are always thinking of new creative ways to organize and sort out our server it always helps being informed with these updates. Now, keep in mind that some of these Saturday updates won’t always 100% implemented but they are being considered!

Levels - since the beginning of time here on Art Club we have realized that the levels really had no TRUE meaning behind them except bragging rights. Well now we plan on changing that with tier commands. With every level you gain you will be able to use a new server command. We have set the server commands only to gold tier for now because we are just testing the waters with this one.

Tier Lobby - there has been consideration for a tier lobby. When you advance to a certain level you will gain access to a tier lobby that grants you access to exclusive roles.

Nitro Lobby - Our nitro lobby was the first step towards offering nitro features and we want to revamp this. Our current lobby only offers 10 VIP colors but we are updating it to 40! This is the first stop but we want to make your nitro boosting experience work it here on the art club.

More art categories - We are working on adding some more art categories. We don’t want to split up the community so we don’t plan on categorizing it PER skill but we want to introduce more art channels to the server to help split up the content a bit.

That‘s some of the urgent things on our plate! There are lots more updates and we are always listening to the #💡・suggestions category so if you want to help evolve your community please use this! Thank you all for reading the weekly update and hope you have a great weekend.

[quiet knot]

<@&622687229910974476>

We have finally updated some of the nitro lobby colors. We use to have only 10 extra colors available to the nitro boosters but we went crazy and bumped that number up to 40! The colored usernames were reset today so please head on over to the #622123773079846912 and set your color again. I apologize for this inconvenience.

Art Club 4.1
In this server update we have added some new features and taken away some old ones that we rarely used. Read below on some of the changes.

Commission Roles
You can now tell users if you are open or closed for commissions directly on your profile! You can find this setting in our #645741633295482911.

Goodbye Editing Rooms
When we started this server we created these editing rooms thinking they would be very useful. Although they were useful at times we figured there was no TRUE use for them. The editing rooms have now been removed to reduce clutter in the server.

Direct Support
We have now introduced our FASTEST contact method yet. With our new ticket support system you can chat 1 on 1 with a staff member to help any issue you might have. You can find our new support channel here: #645525915920629761.

Next stop 2000 members!

[quiet knot]

Hello everyone!

Time to update you all on what might be to come here on the Art Club server!

Smart Marketplace
We will be introducing a new marketplace at 2000 members that will change the game here on Discord. With our new smart system we are setting up, our marketplace will allow you to post an ad for work directly on our platform! No more DM's involved.

More Events
More events are on the way! With our new stacked events team we are able to accomplish more events and organize better communication around these events.

Holiday Events
The holidays are right around the corner! We are planning on adding an interactive lobby around the holidays that will provide you with new name colors and roles! This is still being built so we will let you know if we go through with it.

Channel spacing
Channel spacing has been patched by Discord recently. As you may know, we always use this feature on our Discord. With this being said we need to change some of the channel names to match the artwork section. We have updated the artwork section with a new channel layout that will somewhat make up for the channel spaces being removed.

More Minigames
We know there are some of you who love server minigames. They not only help you level up your tier a lot faster here but they are a good time passer. We will be looking into re-adding Pokecord to the server under the games lobby. The games lobby can be activated in the #645741633295482911 under other features.
_Note: Pokemon added here #648613362824904716 _

That's it for now! We are listening so please use the /suggest command when you have any new suggestions for the server! As a community we always talk over new features and implement what YOU want.

Happy 4 months everyone! Our milestone was to achieve 1500 members in 4 months and we achieved 1600! That’s a huge amount of members joining our community monthly!! It’s nice to see such a friendly and supportive community come together. Many more months to come here on the Art Club as we enter our 4th month being a server with excitement.

Other news: The tier system has been updated again. I removed the Roman numerals and reversed the order of the ranks. Rather than working up from 1-5 you now rank from 5-1 which is a proper tier system. That’s all for now, enjoy your day!

Luckily, you won't have to do that here. New cat emotes up in this house party! We have added a huge library of random cats for each and every one of you.. well not really but we do have a lot of cats as emotes now. Check out some of these purr-fect new add-ons.

NEW COMMANDS
We have just added a few new commands. These commands will help sort your roles for a more viewable experience.

/Profile - View your main artist roles on the server.
/Inv - View your ingredient inventory.

We hope you enjoy these new commands. They will be most useful on mobile!

[quiet knot]

Coming soon at 1900 members

Marketplace - that’s right we are bringing it back! Our marketplace will be able to transcript your entire conversation and allows for there to be no more DMS. You’ll be able to buy and sell artwork in the most professional way Discord has to offer!

Role Shop Progress - A new role will be added to the shop category that will require only 2 ingredients. We will also be altering some of the chances that items will appear.

Animated Lobby - Our lobby has gone through a lot of updates and we believe that where it is now is exactly how we want it.. it’s just missing a little motion. In the next lobby update we will be styling this and fixing some of the role titles.

That’s all I’m going to update for now! More to come at 1900!

KEEPING YOUR ACCOUNT SAFE
We want you to stick around here and by that we are going to update you with some potential scams. These are current issues you should avoid on the internet in order to keep your accounts secure. Below we will list off some current issues, if you have the products mentioned please keep this information in mind.

Issue 1) Scanning QR codes.
Discord has made some changes to its QR code login system following reports that the mechanism is being abused by scammers trying to gain access to users’ accounts. In December, developers at Discord – a voice and text chat app widely used by the gaming community – announced the launch of a QR code feature that enables users to log into the desktop web client using their phone, by scanning the code that appears on-screen. While this feature is aimed at simplifying the Discord login process for desktop users, news has surfaced that fraudsters have been exploiting the system in an effort to gain unauthorized access to accounts. According to discussions on various Discord servers and on social media, scammers have been posting QR codes with the promise of free Nitro, the platform’s subscription package that offers numerous perks, and other giveaways. Please do not scan any QR codes offering free gifts in any way. Do not scan QR codes via Discord set by other members.

Issue 2) Windows Security
Microsoft released a free software patch Tuesday to fix a major security flaw in its Windows 10 operating system. The flaw, which was discovered by the U.S. National Security Agency, could allow hackers to intercept seemingly secure communications. But rather than exploit the flaw for its own intelligence needs, the NSA tipped off Microsoft so that it can fix the system for everyone. The company said it has not seen any evidence that hackers have used the technique discovered by the NSA. Please update your Windows ASAP to avoid any issues with this error.

That's all for now! stay safe everyone 😄

Hello everyone,

We have made changes to the events platform on Art Club. While it was great having an events team, we realized it's a big task and not always easy to plan for 2k users. We have opened our entire events platform to the general public! Now, as an AC member you are able to host your own events using our #643896771101065217 channel. We have placed all the commands to use this feature in the channel description but you can always type !events in chat to learn a little more.

Happy eventing!

Featured Update
We have updated our featured section. We understand how annoying it was to search for that star emoji since it didn't go into recommended. We have changed back to our old ways. It now takes 10 's to get featured in this channel! This emoji is used very very often in our server and we really think this is the better fit for being featured.

Coming Soon
The reason why we have changed this around is because we are about to introduce art battles! We wanted a way to display the winners from these challenges and by switching two bots around we were able to accomplish this. Art Fights will be here in 5.0!

[languid kraken]

If you got pinged multiple times here, it's because someone abused roles mentions.
We sincerely apologize for the incident.

As a result and solution, we decided to prevent that from happening again, so you can expect us to strengthen our Automod Bot Feature, as well as some back-end stuff that will overall make the server a chill place for everyone where you can be sure to not experience that again.

We value our user experience, and we will make sure to keep improving and updating it as time goes by. Peace

Thanks to our friend @little flax over at Carl Bot support, the daily command is now fixed!
Some commands might lag a little after the daily command has been typed, still allow for some time after opening a crate before typing another command. It's a small bug but can easily be dealt with.

- Studio's coming soon

We have worked our butt off planning to enhance our chatting levels. Type /test in chat to see an example, we will be bringing this to life in 5.0.
Anyways, back to work on 5.0. Have a great weekend!

R.I.P Qinni
Qinni was very well know on Deviant art for her beautifully illustrated drawings. During her art path she was also battling a terminal illness. Qinni will be remembered through her beautiful artwork. If you have a moment and this is completely optional. Try to recreate a piece in Qinni’s style showing respect to this fellow artist. It was very unique and focused on self reflection.
She will be forever missed.

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the short on announcements lately. I have been busy with a few things and we are working on simplifying your experience here. We want to keep the community close and have noticed a lot of friendships being made. Remember, we are all a community here and we aim to all expand together! Learn from each-other, check out some of the live streams in voice chats, share your work with the community, make new friends and most importantly support each-other! We are on our way to 3000 members which is such a huge deal to us. Our community is expanding in such a positive way and we aim to keep it in that direction.

Some things we are currently working on is a website! It’s about time we had a more professional looking invite to the server. The site will offer some cool features and we hope to have it fully live this week! Hope to update these announcements more often.

CHANNEL UPDATES
No ping because I’m freaky like that but I have some channel updates for everyone. I would also like to announce that we have hit 3000 members! That’s insane!! We are growing very fast as a community. Anyways enough of the sappy talk, let’s get down to business..

• Moved #🔗╰・socials
  Socials is moved to a new (well old) category called marketing. This is where you will find the marketplace!

• Added #💌・anonymous
  I’m pretty happy with how this channel turned out. You were asking for a venting channel but we wanted to keep it minimal. This is right in the middle of both minimal and vent worthy. Only two commands work in this channel and those can be found in the channel description. Questions are limited to one an hour while answers are not. Please respect this new channel, we worked hard to polish it off!

Still working on the website and more fun future commands! We are also still looking for a builder so if you’re interested feel free to contact Grow!

• The channel only allows you to type 2 commands, everything else is deleted!
• It's the only channel in the server that offers completely anonymous posting.
• The question command is limited to one hour but the answers aren't!

SERVER IMMEDIATE LOCKDOWN

PLEASE BE PATIENT AS WE FIX THIS ISSUE.
While Discord has announced a new template feature, we have tried to shuffle the roles around and messed up in the process. We respect that you will all handle this situation maturely as one of our staff manually removes it. Today all 3000 members were accidentally given the server staff role. While we have disabled most of it's functionality we have not disabled the /ban command due to the fact... well our ACTUAL server staff need it.

We should have the issue cleared up within' the next few hours. PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING FOOLISH IN THE MEANTIME. Our staff have to manually remove the role one by one, we are currently in the process of trying to fix this and will update you when the issue is fixed.

RESPECT THE SERVER AND OUR MESS UP

<@&622687229910974476> - LOL I gotta say, that was the most EPIC April fools joke I have accomplished.

Take a shot regardless! If you lose then at least you took the shot right?? And if you win... well 😉 We will happily accept your boost 😂

<@&622687229910974476> - MIC CHATS TOO FULL?!

Annoyed with how the Art Club has their mic chat set ups? Be annoyed no more!!

INTRODUCING ROOMS
Rooms will give you the ability to create your very own limited mic chat. These mic chats are limited to 5 users and will appear and disappear when active/not active. Nitro boosters will find that they get their houses still. These houses will display your name in the voice chat (super cool) and have a user limit of 20 members.

We hope this solves the issues of "not enough mic chats" as we now have given you full control to make one whenever you want! 😄

ENJOY THE LONG EASTER WEEKEND.
Spoiler: We have hidden an Easter egg in the server channels that will give you a limited edition role. 😉

GOODLUCK FINDING IT!
All users who spot the egg by the end of the weekend are entered into a draw where one winner will receive 1 month Nitro!

• IF YOU FIND THE EGG, CLICK IT AND YOU WILL GET YOUR ROLE.
• IT WILL NOT BE IN GENERAL CHAT - WAY TOO ACTIVE

ONLINE SAFETY

Hey everyone!

It’s important to stay safe while exploring our Discord Server. While our moderation abilities keep you safe on the inside we also want you to stay safe during your overall experience.

Direct Message Privacy
We highly recommend putting on direct message privacy! This allows you to keep strangers away while not impacting your Discord journey in a negative way.

You can disable direct messages within your account privacy settings and it works great! Hope this helps!

<@&610523446773809162> Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well and have not committed any sin today! We are happy to announce 2 new things. First Challenge 11, Atlantis! Create anything that falls under this theme! While the art and the creation is still the same, we are updating the rules and instructions for our art challenges.

Our first change to challenges is introducing Phases! We noticed that members were getting an advantage by submitting earlier. In order to balance this out, we have 2 Phases.

Submission Phase
For the 3 week, we will open the channel for submissions. During this phase, anyone can post their work BUT cannot react and vote for any piece until...

Voting Phase
For the week, we will allow reactions for all the pieces. When the last 3 days are done, we will announce the winners!

Second, We will also be creating a #mermay channel, a space where you can share your progress! If you use the #ArtClubLife tag in your submissions, we’ll give you a key! You can visit https://www.mermay.com/ for more info.

If there is any questions, feel free to visit #support and a staff member will assist you!

You can find the channels at : #705939938125938738 #2020-mermay

<@&622687229910974476> - 4,000 Amazing individuals!
As you might have found out, we have officially hit the big 4K! This is an extremely big achievement for us as we have only been active for almost 10 months. We believe that we can achieve 5 thousand by our 1 year mark! 4000 is a very impressive mark for a server that is pruned daily for inactivity of 30+ days.

Let’s think back a little...
This server started July 2nd 2019, the server was private until the 27th of July for set up. On the first day Art Club opened we achieved 100 members in under 5 hours. Art club opened with a limited amount of channels and offered 1 art category with 1 overall art chat. We then expanded into more art chats and set the bar for role channels. Did you know the lobby was originally an empty channel? This channel required you to fill out a questionnaire which would then give you your roles. We noticed how much of a pain in the butt this can be and quickly integrated a more user friendly option. The server lived by no rules and everyone respected the brand from the start. When Ebony joined he was the first user to receive admin roles and also came with the idea of a “rules channel”. When we hit 1000 members we made it our goal to achieve an official Discord partnership. Although we have yet to achieve this (due to it being down) we believe that this will be on our plate once again in the near future. The server has come a long way, we have met some amazing people, some weird people and some people who just like to lurk the club. What brings us all together is art, we all have something in common and respect each other for our passions. The Art Club will never just be a regular Discord server, we are more. We are one giant creative family. Thank you all for being a part of such a friendly project. The Art Club team appreciates every single one of you and will always be there for support. Next stop 5000!

[quiet knot]

<@&622687229910974476> - Online Security

Hello everyone! As our community expands we want to make sure you are all protected and do not run into spam. To avoid this we have activated a "no links/image for 3 days" protocol. All current users who have been here for 3 days will not be impacted by this. This does not impact the art chats. If new artists join and would like to share a piece, you can direct them to the art channels. The lock is only available for the general chats. This is to add extra security to our most active chats and to keep you all safe.

These chats will still be viewable to everyone, we just have simply disabled links and attachments upon entry for 3 days to ensure new member trust.

As you may know or not, Discord's 5th Anniversary is May 13th, and for the occasion, each year the community "Blurplefies" their profile picture to Discord colors, and that's why we decided to create a temporary Blurple role that will color your name here for a limited time until the Anniversary!

There is an amazing tool that can Blurplefy your profile picture for you in the Project Blurple Server.
You can also use this website to do it with any image: https://blurple.is.not.support/ed

Thank you to all the new boosters for helping the server keep its level 3 position. I noticed that the fancy boosting message went away fast in main chat so I have moved all new booster announcements to this channel instead. 👊🏼

<@&622687229910974476> - A LOVE PING FROM SHAUN

Hello everyone, I know this was announced this morning but I want to go a little more in-depth.

So as you noticed we did a little bit of a channel shuffle last night. Over the past few months we have been watching the art chats trying to think of a new approach. We realized that a lot of artists love sharing their work in our gallery channel and communicating about art in the general chats. Since the general chats can get a bit cluttered and directing everyone all over the server is not really the ideal option.. we have simplified things!

We hope you enjoy the new layout behind our channels. This new layout will really increase the overall interactions within our art community and help make you WAY more new art friends!

The Art Chats Into Galleries
Before we had an absurd amount of art chats but no chatting! It was really confusing and all over the place. We have changed all of our art chats into more gallery focused channels. You can still comment on someone’s work, just please no conversations.

Overall Art Chat
We would like to re-introduce our #🔨・wip chat! This chat worked really well in the past to bring new engagement. This art chat will be found in our general chats. Treat this channel as a new general chat but art focused!

We hope you like our new layout. We really see huge promises with this one. If you have any suggestions for future updates make sure to use our #💡・suggestions channel. We consider all ideas!

As always art fam, have a great week and remember to keep being creative. I look forward to announcing our next batch of features!

COMING SOON

• New art club profile command
• Patreon for more rewards
• AC website platform
• AC public twitch

Art chat, help, feedback = rough work

New member guide
We are trying something new here on the Art Club. We wanted a way to give new members a short guide on how we do things around here. This guide will only appear for the first 3 days you are in the server and disappear after.

Coming Soon
Some of you may have noticed a new robotic face around the server. We have a developer working on a bot for the art club that will really help engage with all the artwork on the server. We should be releasing this around my birthday in early June!

A small update to start off the week.

<@&610523446773809162> Hello everyone!

I hope quarantine and awkward zoom meetings are treating you well. With these trying times, we will run into those late nights where you just need to put on some headphones and vibe. So why don't Art Club make a playlist for it?

This month's playlist theme is Late Night Vibes. 🌜
Any song that works well with a late night beverage or those 4:20am feels will work. We will be collecting 2 song suggestions from June 1st to June 5th. You can find the form here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf97KCrtyXqiboig-OqwxinUWyoYa7EIN0H29XsocAlzA34xw/viewform

Happy vibing!

<@&622687229910974476> - Marketplace Update

Hello everyone, as you might have already noticed we have disabled the marketplace category on our server. Some of you may not agree with our choices but in order to ensure server safety we have removed this functionality. With an increase in illegal requests such as government identification alteration, we want to make sure the Art Club sticks around and this could put our server at huge risk. We are for the artist and will always support the safety of our members.

So what do we do now?
Well we still have the ability to sell of course! Displaying your commission sheets and pricing is still accepted on our server. What we mean by removal of marketplace is we have removed the buying aspect from it. If someone is looking for work they must now look for an artist who is actually offering these services on our platform. All transactions are done off our server and at own risk. Any scams/sketchy situations please continue to report to the #645525915920629761 channel for server safety. We offer a list of alternative selling platforms within' our /market command.

Wow.. that's actually not as bad as I thought
I know right! Why didn't we do this a long time ago? You see, jobs posted looking for illegal work can really impact a server in a negative way and sometimes these things slip from our view. We believe that this new system will work great as we look for an alternative on a more secure offering.

For a sum up of this announcement at any time you can type /market in chat. This will explain alternatives and out reasoning behind removal. Thank you all for understanding. We realize the inconvenience but please understand we are looking out for your safety here and do not want to jeopardize this.

Big week ahead of us! See you in the club

Hello Art Club! We have a few announcements to make so I will wait to add the @ events ping at the very end to save you all from multiple pings!

First off, we have the winners of #710590841592479795 @sour dove and @halcyon otter Everyone, make sure to wish them congratulations! You can find their socials here:

Now time for the #718592345343524885 reveal! This challenge is all about Reflections! We want you to create a piece centered around the word: Reflection. This can be anything from a self-portrait to objects reflecting off each other.

This concept is open to your own interpretation so get creative! Voting opens June 18th and the challenge closes June 26th. We can’t wait to see what you create!

Finally, the results of the Spotify Playlist! Looking for a playlist with some good Late Night Vibes? Look no further! We have such a playlist and bonus! It was made by your submissions! If, for some reason, you don't see your song we either could not find it on Spotify or it didn't fit the Late Night Vibes theme. If you would like to submit a different song, feel free to message @solid salmon or @toxic gale.

Check out the playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6YMKeblJq538AbTmeKd2Vl

[ruby ermine]

<@&622687229910974476> - Hi, my name is Izzi and I am new around here. I was wondering if I could help out the Art Club? I have a few new features I really hope will brighten your days, such as the Starboard Leaderboard that keeps track of the top members who give and receive hearts! I also know a few commands like /card which keeps track of the you receive and give. That's not just all I can do, type /Izzi to find out more!

I'm so very excited to be here and hope to make Art Club an even better place!

[tepid granite]

Welcome to the family Izzi

[quiet knot]

The idea behind Izzi was that I wanted to make something that simply just loved. Sometimes content gets skipped over and we really wanted to help those artists get recognized. Izzi isn’t just a regular starboard bot and I really wanted to highlight some of the custom features we have set in place for Iz...

• Calculates the overall ’s sent in server in the server stats category.
• Monthly leaderboards for top received and given.
• Monthly featured artist role for top 5 on both monthly leaderboards.
• 24 hour “showcased” role that will show on the sidebar the most recently showcased artists.
• Automatically only interact with content directly uploaded to Art Club. Social shares no longer place in starboard.
• Pull up your most recently featured piece in any chat using the /recent command.
• Responds to “I love you Izzi”

[leaden kelp]

<@&610523446773809162> Hewwo friends! 👋🏻
Looks like we are here to ease your boredom again! 👏🏻

The Direction

Hello everyone!
Recently you may have wondered the direction the Art Club is headed in and we want to express our vision with you so you know exactly what’s going on. As beautiful as the Art Club is, we have flaws due to the use of public bots. We have pushed most of our bots limits but want to provide you with more.

We will be keeping some bots active in the server as we integrate over but the goal is to have 4 bots with different personalities and different goals. They will all be designed and function towards the artists needs and help bring a true community to a Discord server.

We are constantly working on improving and setting the bar for you as artists and want to provide you with a never before seen Discord experience. Below is a list of the bot projects and their current standing.

Bot projects

• Project Izzi ✅ - currently completed
• Project Espy ✳️ - Planning Process
• Project Evol ✳️ - Planning Process
• TBD - ⭕️ - On temporary hold

[toxic gale]

<@&610523446773809162> Hello Art Club! Voting for Reflection is now open! Check out #718592345343524885 to vote for your favorites! Submissions will be closed by June 26th so if you haven't entered there is still time!

[open patio]

<@&610523446773809162> Eyo! We got #723409241658097725 out and about! This one's a bit out there, so if you have questions, feel free to shoot me a ping in #617079452698017812 . Basically, what you have to do is a composite of sorts with a mix of doodles, drawings, and/or photos. The drawings/doodles/photos can be of anything (as long as it follows NSFW guidelines, see rules 3 in #622132839273594890 for more info) and must be new. Minimum 5 photos/drawings/doodles. Think about this as something like a one page study with different items exploring a singular idea.

Voting will be open on July 3rd and the challenge ends July 10th. Good luck, and stay creative!

Want new AC functionality?

This is the week to suggest custom bot features for our next gen Art Club. We are trying to meet the needs of the entire community and although the bots offer a LOT more to Discord we might have missed some personal suggestions.

To suggest a bot feature type /suggest followed by your suggestion and the community can vote. We are looking to implement as much as possible so give us all you got! 🔥🔥

Hello everyone,

within' the next few months you will notice a dramatic change around here. We have a LOT of bar setting features we will be implementing that are not seen on other servers. The functionality of Art Club is designed to allow you to expand your motivation to create art, make friendships and make mistakes as well. The idea behind Art Club when hitting the "create server" icon was to make a community different and really supportive of others. We wanted to be something more than "just another Discord server".

Also within' the next few weeks you will see Izzi(bot) update and offer a whole new experience for you to connect with other members of the club. Below is a list of some of the features we will be implementing. Thank you all for sticking around and believing in the team and the visions we have! 3 more bar setting bots to come!

Welcome home, friendships start here.

Izzi 2.0 - Custom Art Club Bot

• Will count all messages you send in server.
• Will count voice channel minutes.
• Will reward the top chatter from the previous day with a role named after your user and include your name within' the stats category.
• Will now have a leaderboard for uploads
• Will now DM you when your piece has been showcased with the piece that was just showcased.
• Will be able to show you your most used emoji.
• Will display how many times you have been showcased on card.
• Leaderboards planned to be static and will be displayed in a channel rather than typed as a command.
• Rainbow role that will change colors every 24 hours to for nitro boosters.
• Written pieces can now be featured in the starboard section within the writing channel.
• Will replace the welcome message with something more thin and appealing.
• Will count total members you have welcomed on card.

Weekend Updates & Fun

Izzi 2.0 is here and working exactly how we wanted. She now offers way more functionality within our server and she is super excited to meet her new friend Evol.

Current Events
#734920113458774035 - The pillow contest has entered the voting stages, quickly get your piece in to have your chances at winning a custom pillow!

#738893757990043740 - In this mascot contest you get the opportunity to design the new Art Club bot icon for Evol. Contest prize is 1 year Adobe Creative Cloud!

New Izzi Features
Chat Crown - Worn by the top chatter every hour. Comes with role and channel named after your name.

Writing - written work can now get placed in the showcase channel! If you have any written pieces please read the #🔵╰・writing channel description.

#🏆・leaderboard - No more commands for leaderboards! We now have a channel updating every minute to encourage participation in art chats.

Rainbow Role - An exclusive rainbow role that updates every 12 hours is now available to all nitro boosters and patreon.

Top Uploaded - You don’t need ’s to get on our leaderboards! We have introduced a new uploaded category.

Statistics - Izzi now tracks your welcomes, voice channel minutes and even your favorite emoji! Type /card to view your overall statistics within the server.

Welcome banner - There is a new welcome banner and this banner is smart. The banner is simply what triggers the welcome count and it only allows you to receive 1 welcome per banner and have a threshold of 5 minutes. This makes it so you can come into the chat typing “welcome” an hour later.

#615416547669704704 - was previously map
#645525915920629761 - added appeal form

⚠️ Discord outages ⚠️

Some of the bots will offer a slower response time but we are working to get everything running smoothly again! Currently all bots are functioning as they should be but if you notice a bug please contact #645525915920629761 so we can look into it.

Pillow Contest Update
Since we are changing the challenges into a different format we noticed the pillow contest is still using the old format. Upon voting deadline we will use this as the entry deadline and extend voting by 4 days. The new voting deadline is the 12th of August. This makes the 8th of August the entry deadline. Hope this helps! Great entries so far! 🔥🔥

<@&622687229910974476> - Weekly updates

Hello everyone! As you may have noticed, a LOT of things have changed around here. We have been working hard on changing the smoothness of our operations and we couldn't be happier with where we stand today!

Updates

• New server banner - I know it's not really normal to be excited about a server banner BUT our new server banner will blow your mind. It's set to change every hour and follows the GMT time zone to display when it's day time or night time. Pretty cool right?! Example of the time lapse attached!

• Izzi 2.0 - Izzi is fully working at her 2.0 version. This brings a LOT of fun server mini-games such as the chatting crown, leaderboards or even knowing your voice chat minutes. It's all within' your /card!

• Website 1.0 launch - We are very excited about this one. We have made a website that will contain all the need-to-know info about the club. This website is very useful for knowing the server commands and role information. Visit https://www.ArtClub.life to check it out!

Events

#734920113458774035 - The pillow contest has come to a close. A big congrats to @wanton storm for winning the challenge and @viral pollen for the runner up position. Both of these artists had amazing pieces and they turned out really well. Congrats to both for their accomplishments!

Time to get back to work, I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Small Update
Added a new gallery channel and organized a lot of the categories more. There are now sections within the category making it even easier to navigate. New gallery - #💥・fanart﹠oc

Updates to come

• Showcased pieces who hold a VIP role will have their pieces embedded in their username color.
• New bot "Teddy" to take over for Carls reaction roles.
• More challenges being designed for next week.
• Lobby and VIP renovation for 6.0 version.

[quiet knot]

<@&622687229910974476> - Goodbye Lobby

We have changed the role pick-up channels and how the entry process works. We have used a channel called the lobby for around a year now to help organize most of our entry roles, such as your artist role and subcategories. This channel was great and helped benefit us so much but unfortunately we hit 5000 reacts on a lot of posts which caused a lot of troubles for us. To solve this from happening again we re-designed the channels in a more simplistic format which makes it a lot more entertaining to join our community.

We would like to say farewell to our lobbies and introduce our next gen format #746816348927033425 and #746822752295452752.

#746816348927033425 - Replacing the old lobby
In the citizenship channel you will find all the artist roles that we provide on our server. This allows for a new member to join our server more efficiently since they no longer have to search for the artist roles. Once completing your citizenship set-up you will have full access to the server.

#746822752295452752 - Replacing the VIP lobby
We had a public channel for legendary members (boosters). This channel allowed them to pick up roles that only they had access to. This was a weird format and we decided to give this channel public use. By doing so we added some new roles to the server!

Age
I know, it's been like 20 suggestions later but it's time. We didn't want to get creepy and we also didn't want to have 100 roles for ages so we chose ranges.
Setting your age is completely optional and isn't required.

Time zone
It's 11pm and you're lookin' for your friend, Tim. You realize that Tim might be in a different time zone than you but you have no way of knowing. Should we ping Tim 100 times?! NOPE! WE HAVE A SOLUTION. Tim can now set a time zone role in our park. Turns out it was 5am for Tim.

Lots more small changes. Tedi should be here this week which will also have an announce. Have a great week, enjoy the new look!

My bad on double ping - I'm just super excited 😉

Events Team
We have brought back our events team with a revamp! Events team will now be separated from staff permissions but bring access to free VIP functionality. This it the first step towards our new challenges program!

Responsibilities

• 4 events made monthly as a team.
• Takes on event suggestions from other members and implements.
• Engaged in staff chat to help boost use of new integrations.
• NO MOD RESPONSIBILITY.

Perks

• All VIP functionality unlocked
• First use of future integrations
• Voice channel perms
• Website bio/pic for personal SEO

Updating events
We have realized that events have been slow recently but this is with reason! We are looking into making our challenges and rewards for these challenges all run automatically. Seasonal events will still be run by us but now supply a physical prize. Espy will be able to automatically create an event every Friday and host this event from start to finish without staff oversight. This will not just reward 2 artists BUT we will be increasing it to 3 winners!

As we prepare this new system we want a friendly team to help work with Espy. This team has 4 current open positions. You can apply to this position via our website under the current staff section.

Crate system expiration
Hello everyone! It’s been so long since we have updated the awards around here but that’s because we are very limited to roles. The crate system takes up about 50 roles which we ended up needing so the crate system will be expiring.

We know you loved the little system we made with the help of a public bot but we are moving onto a custom route. Everyone who took part in the crate system will be receiving a new achievement for crate system memories and we will be adding on another 40 achievable roles for your activity!

We won’t be expiring the crate system just yet so you have time to claim some roles still BUT these roles will all be combined into one except superior and maxed.

More news on this next week. This is simply just a warning for those who do enjoy the system, that it will be expiring within the next few months.

<@&622687229910974476> - Hey everyone!!

We have a jam packed month ahead of us that should inspire you to take your art to the next level. Our goal this year with Adobe MAX is to all attend together as a giant digital community! This year it's 100% possible for us to achieve this because the conference is completely FREE. That's right, you do NOT need an Adobe subscription to learn from professionals and we recommend taking on this opportunity.

How will Art Club help you?
It's so easy to get digitally lost in these conferences and we want to offer you a home base for meeting new artists and connecting further after the workshops. The Art Club will be here to assist you with setting up your schedules and answering any questions you may have about the event. We have Art Club staff officially helping out with the event and can easily gain access to the information you need.

How do I register?
You can find all the information on this event within our #758871958401843201 channel. This channel will give you access to a new general chat where we can all connect and talk MAX.

We look forward to seeing you there! We expect there to be a LOT of opportunities and we want to hear all about the experience you have had!

Other October events - AC-tober
Some of you may know of this month as "Inktober". Due to recent stories and discomfort with the campaign we have decided to design our very own prompt list for October! We will be calling this event "AC-tober" and have 1 year of Adobe Creative Cloud to giveaway for participants. This event will be released tomorrow so make sure to turn on those event pings!

Looking forward to a busy yet educational month! 😄

[quiet knot]

<@&610523446773809162> Hello creatives,

We would love to introduce #Actober! This is Art Club's variation of Inktober with a prize attached. We have 1 year of Adobe Creative Cloud to giveaway in a final draw to whoever participates. This is the catch, the more prompts you complete, the more entries you get. Head on over to #2020-actober and complete the first prompt to get your first entry. Goodluck to all participants!

/Recent Command
The /recent command has been updated to be less annoying. Before the /recent command was just pulling your recently showcased piece. This made it pretty unusable for a lot of our members. Say no more, we fixed it! The /recent command will now pull your most recently posted piece. You don't need 10 's to use it!

Showcase Section
The showcase section use to show pink as the embed color. This is no longer the case! We have removed the pink to make the nitro highlights more worth while. If you have nitro and boosted the server your pieces will now show in your username color.

Website Updates
The website now displays your artwork!! Use the hashtag #ArtClubLife to show your work on the feed! 😄

Enjoy! Evol coming real soon 😄

Hello Creatives
Today is day 1 of our Adobe MAX adventure. There are so many informative events this year so try to take some notes and eat plenty of healthy snacks. This will be our only ping for this event so make sure you don't miss out!

Discord channels
We figured this year it would be a great idea to attend together. MAX is free this year and it's an opportunity we just couldn't pass up on!

If you are posting content about MAX today, please use our dedicated channels to keep the server floors clean. These channels will be expiring after the event but added to our basement archives section for you to always look back on.

MAX info - #758871958401843201 - tap for the MAX chats

MAX chat - #2020-💥・max
MAX voice chat - #768100614164185138

When does it start?
The event starts in 2 hours and can be found here: https://www.adobe.com/max.html

Last part
Remember to have fun! This is a fun experience to attend and you have the possibilities of meeting so many more creatives in your field. If you need any assistance, feel free to ping one of the staff members in the MAX chat. We will try our hardest to answer your questions.

For those already attending the event and all signed up. Pour some coffee and get comfortable because things are about to get hyped! See you at MAX 😄

Darn Discord didn't let me tag the voice channel. You can find this in the general chats separated from the other mic chats! 😄

[quiet knot]

Our bot for showcase is currently going through some issues. Don't worry, your piece is still in the channel. We are just experiencing a cache error from Discord's end.

Ending of MAX 2020

We hope you all had a great experience at Adobe Max and learned so many new things! This event was jam packed full of cool experiences and we are happy you wanted to attend with us.

We hope to again achieve this next year but it all depends on how it's set up. More group events like this will come soon!

[quiet knot]

<@&622687229910974476>

Showcasing
We will be looking into increasing the showcase from 10 's to 20. We noticed that a lot of pieces are easily hitting 10 now so we want to make it a little more challenging.

Events
New event alert! We have created an event that will allow you to express your personality in a piece! Taking the 16 personalities test you will take your result and design something that symbolizes this personality type. Check out #769351881771450380 for more info and entry!

#2020-actober - Actober is still going and you still have 7 more chances to get your name in a draw for 1 year of Adobe Creative Cloud!

#764316659258621992 - Collaboration is key in the art industry and you can start right here! Collaborate with another Art Club member for the featured artist role!

Evol
As some of you may have noticed, @open patio has entered the server! Evol will be going through some testing phases this week and we hope to have her online soon! Evol was originally designed by @open patio and altered to match an upgraded version of Izzi which will be released soon. Evol is a serious character and won't allow art thieves within the community. She will be the Art Club protector!

What's coming

• ⭐ Review system
• Reverse image search system
• Flag system for anonymous reporting
• Automatic moderation

Have a suggestion?
If you have a suggestion for the features above feel free to use the #💡・suggestions channel. Our staff review this channel daily to bring the features you want to the community!

💌 - Enjoy the rest of your weekend art fam!

Also we hit 100,000 's given in the server overall!! That's amazing and we totally appreciate everyone supporting each other by giving them a little love on their work. Artists supporting artists is our slogan! 😄

Happy Halloween!!
For those that celebrate, we hope you stay safe this year while out and about. This year can be extra tricky and a little less treat so come hang out in the Art Club with other Halloweeners and show off your costume in chat.

Introducing Evol
That’s right, Evol is now online and working in the server and we figured Halloween would be the best day to announce her arrival. Here are some of the new features below that come with this bot. These are activated and working within the server right now!

Member Reviews
Ever want to tell another Art Club member how much you appreciated their help or collaboration? Now you can! We have introduced a new review system that can be found in #👍・vouches. All server reviews will be posted publicly here so your review will be shown off to the world!

Flagging
No need to make a ticket to report another member now. You can simply react with the emoji on content you don’t like and it instantly will submit it to staff for review. This is completely anonymous as well, the reaction will get removed instantly when used.

Gulag
The Art Club now has a jail. Evol will escort you to this jail when you are severely endangering the community. The jail will remove all access to every channel and store a sentencing in the database. This means even if you leave, you will enter the server in jail if your sentencing is not completed.

VIP pins
Nitro boosters and patreon now have the ability to pin a message for 24 hours. Using the 📌 emoji will pin a message and leave it for 24 hours. You can pin 1 message a day in any channel.

Next Task
The next task for Art Club is to open up the ambassador team. This is a team that will have access to VIP perks for free but no moderation perms. We hope to bring on 10 ambassadors a year to be represented by the club. More info on this coming soon!

🎃 Have a spooky weekend and enjoy Evol!

Reverse search
Oops I forgot to mention the most important thing... we have reverse search commands! Type /reverse to find out how to use this feature.

Hello Clubbers!

I would like to introduce a little Art Club tip announcement I will be attempting to do weekly. I won't ping any roles so don't worry, but it will appear in our #📰・newspaper!

Tip 1 - Showcasing

The first tip I want to cover is showcasing! This is a really interesting feature that highlights a lot of the pieces in the server. The > only way to get your piece in the showcase channel is meeting the certain requirement of which is listed in the channel > description.

Why do we have showcasing?

Well, showcasing is here to promote art routine in making multiple pieces. We don't expect every one of your pieces to enter and neither should you! This system is not here to discourage anyone from posting artwork but to encourage your art path! It's all about making multiple pieces and not weighing heavily on one.

How do I take part?

Easy! Go through the galleries and give another artist a on their work. Getting a notification from Izzi saying your work has been showcased is normally pretty encouraging and really motivates the artist. If you are here to check out the artwork don't forget to appreciate that work with a heart!

How long am I showcased for?

Your image will always be featured in the #🥇・showcase channel unless you report it. If you are VIP member your showcases will be in color and have a bigger display picture. When showcased you also receive a 24 hour role.

How do I check my stats?

You can check your overall stats by typing /card. This will show you your overall given, received and how many times you have been showcased. If your given count is low but you expect a high receive count then you're doing it wrong! You need to give to receive .

Thanks for reading my first weekly tip!

Definitely lots of new faces. I'm eternally grateful for finding this community, because I truly have changed for the better whilst being in here. We hope you have enjoyed your time here so far, and we hope your time here will be even better in the future. Also don't forget that you should always be improving your art 😉

10 thousand humble bees
Last night was pretty emotional for me. Something I started in the process of looking for one creative friend, turned out to be many. As a recent graduate, you end up losing a lot of your creative friends. This isn't because of grudges or hatred, more or less because life offers us a path. You might not see this path at the time, it might start out very rough. Do we turn back on a rough path or continue? The more we ask ourselves this, the more crazy we might get! The answer is always yes. Continue on your path and illuminate others. Help other artists and be transparent with what you are trying to achieve. Lift others up as they walk a similar path you have once went down. Art Club has been the most amazing and friendliest experience I have had online. The Art Club vibe is family, we stand with each other and we improve together. A hive of humble bees.

As a gift to you, one lucky random reaction will get the opportunity to take home a vintage Art Club pillows. Something to remind you that all paths start out rough and in the end complete something amazing.

Thank you all for being a part of our creative path and I hope that we have illuminated yours in some way.

Happy 10 thousand members Art Club!
there is more to come 😄

Here are the prompts for January. As always, these are totally free for interpretation. Doesn't even have to be drawings! Could be anything from 3D to felting to visual design work, to poetry... You can switch it up, too. You can make a drawing every day, or you can vary it, mix in some new mediums. You might be surprised to find out what art forms you like!

Up for the challenge?

Hey everybody!

New challenges are out now!(sorry for the delay) We want to see more friendships in the server, so we're doubling down on collaboration challenges. For #796213698485551105 and #796291707200995338, you'll have to find a partner in the server to work with. Each person creates one half of the finished product, more details pinned in those channels.

To celebrate the new year, we want you to show us your improvement! Take an old piece and recreate it, then post them side-to-side in #2021-past﹠present. Have you spent your time wisely? 😉

Last but not least we're also introducing STREAKS! How many days in a row have you collected your /daily? Find out the next time you collect it in #🤖・commands! 🔥

Enjoy the new events!

Evol Updates
Hello everyone! We would like to introduce a new Evol safety feature and that is duplicate text deletion. You can still type fast in chat and interact with your friends the same way you always have. This will eliminate the same content being posted simultaneously in a row. This is here to keep the server clean and eliminate the duplicate content you might see (spam). If you do get accidentally warned by Evol for spam, don't worry! You get 3 spam warnings a day before a real warning. This gives plenty of chances for mistakes but will also keep the community safe at all times.

What else does Evol do?
Evol is designed to self moderate an entire community without interrupting the flow of conversation. Evol is packed with reverse image search, anonymous flagging, direct message support and a punishment level system that allows for infractions to expire. Evol is designed to give the members a chance to make mistakes and make up for those mistakes without being completely removed from the overall community. When a member has reached a specific level of infractions, Evol will send this member to prison for a time out and will bring them back when they have served their time. Evol also controls bad words and bad usernames. Evol will change bad usernames instantly and warn members when they have said a word we have filtered. We do allow for swearing in the server but anything severe we have filtered by Evol to reduce any miscommunication. Similar to the spam gate, Evol gives 3 verbal warnings every 24 hours before a real warning.

What are Evol's future plans?
We have plans to bring a safer commissions system with the use of Evol. Currently Evol offers commission #👍・vouches where you can review your friends and support them as they take on work in the server. We want to take this a little step further with looking into middle man functionality. We will be looking into this after art auctions and battles.

Hello 🍯
Tedi here with another Art Club tip! Today I will be talking about my brother Evol . Evol is here to protect the community from spam and art thieves! Evol looks over a lot of content but likes to give fair chances to everyone!

How to spot art thieves with Evol?

That’s easy! You just type /search and then paste the image URL of the piece you’re searching. When you spot a thief you react to the post with and it will disappear.

I got warned by Evol

No worries! Evol gives chances to everyone and expires infractions after 30 days. We don’t really want you to feel unwelcome in Art Club and this system allows for mistakes. Just respect others and make friends, use this place to network yourself!

Can I send Evol messages?

We prefer you use #645525915920629761 for anything severe but you can direct message Evol if you ever need instant support! Evol has a lot on the plate so please don’t message Evol often

What else can Evol do?

Evol also controls the #👍・vouches channel for commissions. You can type /vouches to view your received reviews. Collect reviews in the server to gather clients trust in commissions! Evol also watches for spam (same phrase over and over) and has a prison system for time-outs. Type /prison to view the prison. Evol is here to protect but not here to punish your every move. In Art Club we have always believed in making mistakes and we don’t believe you should be instantly removed from a community that is here to support you.

Hello Creative Family!

I'm Izzi, you may know me as the robot that showcases most of your artwork. Before... well today, I really only accepted PNG, JPG and GIF file formats in the channels. After watching this device you call a "television set" I realized there was a LOT more out there. I can now see audio and video formats as well! Tedi will post a list of the files under this announcement so you can view what can be showcased.

I also have updated my showcasing algorithm a bit! Before the entire server was set to a default of 15 's to get into showcase. I now have the capability to use a different limit per channel. This is a pretty big step! The limits vary from 20-10, you can find the channels showcase limit in the channel descriptions. When a channel becomes more busy with 's we can now increase the limit without disturbing the other galleries.

<a:A_Search:763149361290805298> Accepted Discord File Types

• .jpg .jpeg .JPG .JPEG
• .png .PNG
• .gif and .gifv
• .webm
• .mp4
• .wav
• .mp3 (audio-only)

💌 .mov can work but it depends on device.

👑 - Hello everyone!

The server crown now offers a 1000% pixel increase on your /daily.
What is the crown? The server crown is a role offered to the top hourly chatter. There is only one crown holder in the server per hour but can be held for multiple hours. You can earn the crown by being active in any server channel unlocked to you. You can also view how many crowns you have achieved by checking your /card.

Future plans?
We plan on bringing crown accumulation to the #🏆・leaderboard. This will give the top 10 crown holders monthly a nice 100,000! This is all the plans we have for this role currently. If you have anymore ideas feel free to write a suggestion in #💡・suggestions!

**New role lobby updates **
As we prepare to integrate the new role lobby we want to warn of the potential bugs. During the transition, your username color is guaranteed to change to a completely new color. For those using the VIP color packs.. If you are using the zen, flex, cold or tone pack then you will be losing your name color.

When these updates occur, the new lobby should be updated and opened which will give you access to the new color selection.

Here is a preview of the new username colors that will be throughout the server! 😄

Updated expected: March 9th 2021

Founder Role
Hey everyone, this isn't really big news that will impact your time here but it's big news to me. Creating the Art Club, I never really considered it ever reaching the amount of artists we have here today. I always thought it would just be a small little side club that I could use to connect with some of my creative friends. When I was in college I was a part of an Art Club and it really helped with my progression. Getting that constructive feedback you have been always searching for and meeting those creative friends that will help support you throughout your journey. This is what Art Club stands for. We are an open creative community that is not anchored by one person's art technique or one person's view. It's my pleasure to announce that I have now deleted the founder role from my profile. This role should have been deleted a LONG time ago but for security reasons we kept it active. The Art Club is not run by one, it's not run by a group of staff, it's run by the entire community. The deletion of the founder role is to symbolize the importance of our community and how far we have come since the first day. The club is now owned and operated officially and equally by our community managers with no roles above this positioning.

Hello there!

We have updated the following channels to further our readability support.
#615416547669704704
#778001612979044373
#778002068115030026

Our goal is to continue to meet the requests of the community and we hope this update allows you to grow a further understanding of Art Club functions. We have a LOT more planned towards the end of the month including the pixel auctions which will further update these channels.

[open patio]

Action commands updated!
We have updated the /action panel by adding some more actions to it. We have also removed some action commands that were making members feel uncomfortable in chat. Our overall goal is to make sure you feel safe here and while commands can't physically hurt anyone they can still cause damage. There are members who have actually experienced some of these moments and do not want to be reminded of them. Due to how supportive our community is, we need to support those who might feel uncomfortable even when we are comfortable with the topic. We will try and implement more actions but sometimes we need to pull back some of these commands and we hope you understand.

Tedi will pull up the new list of commands below this announcement!

<:_a:821175360351240192><:_c:821175442781634601><:_t:821175359608324146><:_i:821175359923421217><:_o:821175360108101643><:_n:821175359834947648><:_s:821175359579619360>

<@&675084024074731531> - We have been keeping something a secret... While browsing the general chats one day, we noticed a creature. A creature so beautiful, so well designed and so elegant that we needed to bring it to life. This bot has taken us months to prepare and will set a new Discord standard for bot branding and functionality. It's my pleasure, to introduce the one... the only... Yellow Animal bot.

You can view and interact with @deep lake in the #💬・chat. Stay tuned Friday for something BIGGER. We will be hosting another stage channel to interact with these new features on Friday.

**START COLLECTING THOSE PIXELS!!! **

INTRODUCING ARTWORK AUCTIONS!

You now have the ability to collect your favorite Art Club members work and show it off throughout the entire server!! We are extremely happy to announce this feature and believe it will create a closer connection with the artists you already spend your time with daily. You can represent your favorite club members, show people that their work has value no matter what and make other's feel great about you holding onto a little part of them. Head on over to the #💎╰・auctions channel to test it out. We hope you enjoy a brand new way of sharing your artwork within the AC township and can't wait to see how you all utilize this!

Plans for v.2

• Trading - the ability to trade the collected pieces to other members.
• Frames - Changeable frames that can make your pieces stand out more.
• Backgrounds - Changeable backgrounds to display your pieces in a new scene.

Start submitting those pieces!! 🔥

[open patio]

Hey there! How are you liking the new auctions update? We hope you are enjoying it. For those of you who do not know what auctions are, they are artwork collections you can bring around with you to help support the other artists within the club. When an artist uploads a piece to the auctions, they hold all the ownership still to this piece but you have the ability to earn more pixels from them and show them off to other club members.

How do I auction a piece?
It's easy! If you have been in the server for 3 days you can use this feature. If you upload a photo to the #🤖・commands channel and type "/auction title amount" in the caption. The title being what you want to name the piece and the amount being how much you want the piece to start for. A good starting value is 10000 (don't include commas).

When you click enter Espy will generate a post preview. React :greencheck: to approve of your post and send it to review!

How do I collect a piece?
Collecting is even easier! You visit the #💎╰・auctions channel and react :pixels: to place your bid. Espy will direct message you asking you what you want to bid. You can check your overall balance by typing /wallet in any chat. If you want to follow along with a bid to make sure no one else out-bids you. React the 🔔 emoji on the piece you have your eyes on.

How do I earn more pixels?
You earn more pixels depending on how active you are in the server. You can earn these by chatting with other artists, uploading artwork, giving and receiving , getting showcased and entering events. You can also earn a lot by putting your pieces into the auctions for other's to collect!

How do I view my piece?
If you want to find your art piece once again type /collection title. Title being the title you originally submitted the piece under. This will pull up the piece once more and show you the value and collector.

We are looking for 4 new staff to cover the 12AM+ ET hours (does't have to be from ET). These staff members must be event focused and well engaged in the community! If you're interested in a position, please fill an application using /apply. If you have already submitted an application and you have not heard back, please allow for us to view your previous submission before submitting a new application.

FULL VOICE CHANNEL CONTROL!
As you may have known, Art Club used a public bot named PartyBeast to host the voice channels. While this bot was good, we like to do things custom over here. Our dev Joban has been working extremely hard at bringing you a smooth new voice channel experience which gives you more control over your rooms. Having a problem in voice channel and staff are busy? FEAR NOT You can now deny access to this member and they won't be able to join back. On the forgiving side? You can allow them back in at any time. If you're a VIP member and wondering where you're house channel went, it's built into the new channel! If you join this channel holding a VIP role, it will unlock a house rather than a room. We hope you enjoy this voice channel update. Check out the new command format below and remember to use these commands in #607672632472764454!

New Commands
/vcallow <@user_mention> - gives specific user permission to enter your voice channel.
/vcdeny <@user_mention> - denies specific user permission from entering your voice channel.
/vclock - lock your voice channel.
/vcunlock - unlocks your voice channel to the public.
/vcrename <new_title> - renames your voice channel.

Hey everyone,

Things are gearing up for the next few months and we are getting pretty hyped. There are two things I wanted to mention in this post before tomorrow’s announcement.

Artists now earn
Artists now earn daily pixels based off the pieces they put into the auctions. Before we had it so only the collector was making this amount but it’s only fair that the artist also gains.

TEAMS
May is right around the corner and we are doing another team event. Type /team in any chat to have Carl automatically assign you a team. Once you have been given a team you cannot change! Team chats open tomorrow.

Sea you all tomorrow! 😉

New look, who dis?

Art Club is going to be re-branded and we are really happy about it! We still have to decide on how this will be displayed in the server and as the icon so we won't be rushing to set it as the icon just yet. The team believes this new change will allow us to stabilize our goals and create new experiences both off and on Discord. For those who have been around for a long time and have gotten use to the old branding, we completely get it and understand that change might be a hard thing but we want to ensure you that we are still the same place. Our old icon was just "ac" typed out in a font that we can't commercially sell nor does it sum up how creative we can be. We know it looks like a few simple shapes that visually create the initials "AC" but it's actually so much more! Here are what the new symbols stand for...

Triangle - The triangle being an A represents the strongest shape. We considered putting holes in this shape, adjusting the curve and nothing looked stronger than a rounded triangle. The triangle being the strongest, is what Art Club is trying to achieve within the creative community field. Placing a hole or making this shape unstable would sway away from our mission.

Half Circle - Although some see it as a moon, this symbol represents multiple things within art. It was designed to highlight an eyeball, a mouth eating and the inner part of the ear. These are the 3 senses we use for art which helps us represent the overall community we aim to support. With the moon shape I guess this can sum up our night owl tendencies as a creative although it wasn't intended at all.

As we slowly adventure into this new route we want to take on your feedback in the #💡・suggestions channel as we can still make some revisions before full launch. This branding update will slowly roll out after a few months of prep work, we just couldn't wait to show you all our new vision. Still the same club, still the same people, just a new shirt!

Hey <@&622687229910974476>!

When Discord came to us and asked us to host stages in our community for an official event, we jumped on board right away and thought it would be amazing to do an art conference. It's our pleasure to introduce the first ever... Art Club Underground! These next two months we have a lot of super special events planned for you all and it's a new journey we want to attempt to try yearly. We also put 5 bonus username color roles in the #2021-acug-information channel for you that we think you might like.

What is Art Club Underground?
In today’s digital world, it can be difficult for artists to master the nuances of social media on top of their craft. As such, many wonderful minds often remain hidden from the world. While we know this does not define an artist's skill or creativity, we also know that this can be disheartening or discouraging at times. That's where AC Underground comes in. Join us for our first ever art conference specifically catered to the underground artist in which large artists and professionals will come and discuss the challenges and successes they have faced on their career journeys. We hope that by hearing the career stories and field insights from well known experts, attendees will be inspired to persevere and keep trying on their artistic journeys.

When is Art Club Underground?
We have prepared all the information for you along with some Google calendar links in the #2021-acug-information channel. This is where you can keep up to date on the event, the speakers and the giveaways we have planned. We also have made a custom ping role for this event so if you want to get notifications then please make sure to grab that role!

Here is a SUPER BEAUTIFUL phone background that @tranquil raven made for this event. Enjoy! There are SO MANY EASTER EGGS.

NEW ICON UPDATE

I know it’s been 2 years but we have finally solidified our logo! We can’t be anymore proud of this direction we are going in and believe that it will be a great change overall.

Our last icon was straight to the point and it worked great but there were a few things we weren’t a fan of. One huge flaw is that we were limited to what we could produce with the old logo. Although we had the font licensed for the usage we put it through, it would have costed us thousands to commercially license this font in a way we truly wanted to use it. Another con with the previous branding is that it wasn’t creative at all. It was just two letters typed out with no extra creativity added. How does this promote seeing the world differently and creating new perspectives?

With the new icon it can be whatever your creative eyes imagine it as really. Some people see a moon, some people see an eye ball but no matter what it will always be AC!

We of course understand that people will need to get used to it hence why we didn’t do a huge change to animation or anything. This isn’t just a spur of the moment decision for us and it was actually quite hard. The staff wanted something creative that we were proud of. A symbol to represent the thousands of perspectives we have seen here.

I know we mentioned this weeks back but we hope you enjoy this new adventure with us!

Same people. Same shirt. New Hat!

In around 4 hours all subcategories should be open and working as intended. The downtown will be updated later on to offer the hide option. You will see a ➕ emoji on your profile under milestones which indicates you are using the full extension of Art Club. Plus will be expanded on over time.

[quiet knot]

INTRODUCING LAYOUT COMPRESSION
I know you’re all probably thinking, why do we need this? We realized that Discord could be quite hard to navigate with a lot of the side categories that you may not even use. You might have these categories collapsed so that you can see exactly what you want to use. We figured that it’s probably easier just to deactivate the category entirely!

What does this mean for new members?
New members will join with all categories showing at default. This is set to default so that your work is always publicly seen right away and they get the full experience at the start. We have updated our entry to be the most strategic entry we have ever accomplished. Members now have to go through a role tutorial at the start which is completely behind the scenes and walks the member through the process.

New Entry
We have removed the joining instructions from entry and have enhanced the entry so the member list is hidden entirely until full entry is completed. This should tackle those random direct messages from bot accounts if you’re fully in the server. The new entry system will prompt a 2 step tutorial on what roles to set. Members do not need to visit a third channel to view joining instructions, the channels are the instructions.

We believe that this new entry is the easiest and most effective entry we have built. You now have the ability to customize the layout of Art Club in your own way. Visit #🔖┗・roles to use this new option.

Bad content?
If you see a troll in Art Club or find someone stealing art, feel free to add the reaction to these posts which is the first reaction in our emoji panel. This will anonymously report a message to staff for us to clean up.

**Moderation **
In Art Club we use our custom bot Evol to manage the infractions. Evol will automatically tackle most server issues with precision and extremely fast timing. If you ever have any severe issues in the server and need to talk with a staff member, we have two points of contact. You can direct message @open patio with your concern or you can create a #645525915920629761 ticket. Our staff are always willing to happily assist you with your issues and are here to ensure your time here is safe.

Appealing
We do not allow appealing via direct messages. If you have been jailed or banned from Art Club you need to use the appeal links to submit your appeal. We cannot lift any infractions without this step completed.

Expiring
Made a mistake? That's okay, everyone makes mistakes! Our infractions expire here every 30 days automatically if you have made no infractions in that period. Evol will give 3 verbal warnings a day for basic infractions, these verbal warnings reset daily and will only add up to a real infraction when you have surpassed 3.

Trust
Our staff team is extremely experienced in handling cases. You can trust that all your confidential information you report will not leak into the community or be shared in report overviews. As a Discord partner we are proud of our incentives towards keeping this server safe for you to interact in. You can make mistakes in Art Club and make up for them without being completely removed from this community and that is something we will always be proud of and stick with.

Stay safe art fam! :D

<@&622687229910974476> Art Club is celebrating its second birthday!
Hello art fam, July is AC’s birthday month. You know what that means? Parties, pixels and presents! 🎉🎁

We have amazing stuff in store as we celebrate our second year. We have contests, like adding your own personal twist to the AC heart or AC logo. We even have more artist features! Look out for some new FB and IG content which involves timelapses of AC artist works. We also have the second part of AC Underground, including speakers who are industry heavyweights! With campfire story time, the return of the #2021-past﹠present channel and some other surprises in between, Art Club got its party hat on.

Join us for this month long birthday bash! It’s amazing how Art Club just started from humble beginnings! Look at us now, and how far we’ve come. With major milestones like Discord Partnership and AC Underground, these would not have been possible without YOU. So, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

Cheers for more birthdays! We’re glad you’ve stuck around and we hope you stick around longer.
And as always:
Remember to !

Heave ho! Heave ho!

Get your grip and grit ready for this one, art fam, because there will be some lugging and tugging involved. Are you ready to pull out all the stops to take your team to victory? Do you want to floor the opposition to the ground, literally, as they fall flat in defeat?

We present to you #2021-🧶・tug-of-war — the hottest summer event sure to push and pull you and your team for a mighty fine art challenge.

The rules are simple:
Like a real tug of war, there will be two teams: Sweet and Sour and they will pull each other towards their respective bases. To join a team please type /team — this will place you into a team! Pulling is done by submitting art here base on a randomly generated prompt. You can get a prompt by doing /tug. Each art post is worth a point/pull. If a team pulls, that’s a score up (+1) for them and one score down (-1) for the other. To pull back, the opposition must post more art than the rival team. Scores can be viewed in the Statistic Category at the top of the server. The group that has most points by the end of the event emerges victorious!

Sounds straightforward enough — draw, submit, collect points, coordinate and be triumphant! Note that the event starts today, the 16th, and ends on July 30th. One lucky individual in the winning team will receive 1 year of Discord Nitro.

Good luck teams and remember; Don’t let go!

Sunday Updates

Underground
Underground is now over and we had such a great experience with it. So many new faces have joined our community and we plan on bringing back this event next year. Thank you all for attending such a huge milestone for us!

Fan Club
Are you a fan of AC and have made some fan art around it? We have made a channel for that! Visit #2021-fanclub if you have any fan work you want to show us. We will share these on social media from time to time with credit to you!

Voting
By typing /vote in #🤖・commands you have two opportunities to earn 5000 pixels a day. By doing this you help another artist find our wholesome community!

Staff Applications
Now that our 2 month event is over we have a lot of other tasks at hand and a small amount of working power. We want to expand our management team dramatically and have opened up over 10 spots. There will be a new opportunities channel opening in township this week but if you want to apply early type /apply in #🤖・commands to be considered first. Being a staff here opens up hundreds of professional opportunities and not everyone will be accepted. We are looking for members who proudly stand by Art Club through its ups and downs.

That’s all I have for a small Sunday update for now. Wednesday is a mandatory staff meeting for new Art Club incentives and we should have more for you at the end of the week!

Groovy bot will be missed

Sad news has arrived today, the music bot we all love will no longer be active. We have used this bot for so long and it sucks to see it go. We hope for the best with the team that managed it! The bot it said to be active until August 30th.

What will you do now?

What you can do to listen to music is type /activity in the #607672632472764454 with slash commands active. After selecting your mic channel, use the YouTube together option which will be a built in Discord feature in the future.

🗞️ Here is more information on some of the news discovered about Groovy: https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/24/22640024/youtube-discord-groovy-music-bot-closure

Coffee Break
Thank you for attending coffee break today! As always, it was a lot of fun chatting with the community members and we are really looking forward on continuing these events.

Overview
Today on coffee break we discussed the Adobe MAX schedules and set them up together. There are over 400 sessions available so it can get quite confusing to set up. If you missed the break but want to get involved visit https://max.adobe.com/ to register for free. This is a great conference to help bring career changing improvements to your workflow. If you need any help setting up your schedule, visit the thread below and we can get you all set.

Next Break
In the next coffee break session we will be talking about our portfolios and looking over other members. Hope to see you there!

[sinful crescent]

**Aggie and Sketchful! **
Welcome to the first Aggie in a long time!
To kick off October, we'll be doing this event together on October first, from <t:1633104000> to <t:1633114800>. The Aggie.io will last two hours, then the rest will be a Halloween-related Sketchful for anyone who wants to join. We would appreciate it, but you don't have to draw anything October-specific for the Aggie!

Rules:
Don't draw over anyone else's art
Don't draw anything NSFW
For Sketchful: Don't write anything!
Do be respectful
Do make your own layers
For Sketchful: Do your best to draw the prompt

How to join Aggie:

Thanks for coming out, everybody! Here's the finished piece, good job to the wonderful artists who joined in!

[quiet knot]

Hello <@&622687229910974476>!

It’s Actober and you know what that means.. THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET SPOOKY! 🎃
|| Boo! 👻||

There are 10 candy hidden throughout the server!! That’s right, we have hidden candy that you can collect as roles towards one, super awesome Halloween Champion role (with role icon)! Look around the Art Club to seek the goodies 👀

#2021-clue - We have another creative prompt game to play! Join a /team to participate in this months event.

#892608997960609843 - Visit this channel to view the event guide for October. There are 5 exclusive color roles located here for the month!

👾 Gamer Hour - The first gamer hour was hosted by Denas today and it turned out great! Scroll up to see the final result. The next gamer hour will be October 15th, 2021 and is scheduled in the events tab at the top of the server.

#2021-inktober - The Inktober channel is open and will be located in subcategories for the month. This is a great area to show us your Inktober prompts but will not award any team points towards the Actober events.

👀 Side note: ROLE ICONS ARE FINALLY HERE! We have had these in planning for a while and it was extremely hard to figure out exactly what we wanted to do. There are so many directions you can go in with icons but to see the same emoji over and over again might be overwhelming. We chose grey as a way to blend into the Discord UI, matching your posting time. We are developing more icons over time to suit the roles more accordingly and those should all be completed by the end of October.

Chatting Icons
- Staff
- Mentors
- Crown (1 hour role)
- Featured Artist (30 day role)
- Showcased (24 hour role)
- Nitro/Hero (VIP)
- Champion (Leaderboard)
Special Events - We will offer role icons for events as well but not every event.

AND SO MUCH MORE!! We will be spending the month of October revamping a lot of the roles to suit their theme.

Coffee break was cancelled today due to technical issues. We are still having some issues with the events tab which caused todays session to be overseen. We have scheduled a new session for October 15th which we still will be discussing portfolio set-up. We apologize for the inconvenience, we were looking forward to chatting today 😦

You can refer to announcements like these to find out what's been happening that week and what might be coming in the following week. And just like it's name, it will act as a weekly newspaper for you! These will also act as a server wide announcement covering as much of what's going on in AC as it can.

     The Weekly Newspaper will feature things like... Monthly Events, Weekly Events, Daily Events, Short Mini Games, Channel Highlights, and Upcoming Events! There is no guarantee every newspaper will have all these features, but make sure to check in weekly to see what's going on in Art Club!

When does it come out?

Community Manager Display
On November 1st, the Community Manager role will no longer be displayed separately from the other categories in our user list. This does not mean that we have no more staff active here. Since we are expanding our team, we believe that having all the staff displayed at the top will take away from our other incentives the more we expand.

How will I direct message staff?
Well we really don't want you direct messaging us to be honest... We can't work efficiently like this as a team and we really need to log a lot of these reports so that future issues cannot occur. There are plenty of ways to contact staff like creating a #645525915920629761 ticket or direct messaging our bot @open patio.

How will I recognize a staff member?
Easily! Our staff team are extremely active in chats and you can identify us with the custom (shield) emoji. If there is an issue in chat you can simply react to a message with which will anonymously report that post to the staff team.

If you have anymore questions about this change, feel free to create a #645525915920629761 ticket or leave some feedback in #💡・suggestions for us to take on. We listen to your feedback!

Discord will always embed if needed, and will never send links to you through an account! This includes free nitro links from unknown users. If you run into these users, remember to block, and let us know so we can make sure no other members are harmed! If you need help or have questions, create a ticket in #645525915920629761 and let us know what we can do for you!

Trick or treating
Our Discord candy hunt will expire <t:1635739140:R> so you better get hunting! Collecting all 10 candy will reward you with an exclusive role in Art Club.

On November 1st, the candy roles and treat divider will expire completely. The Halloween Champion role will become a permanent milestone in your achievements!

Side note: November 1st the staff role will be hidden from the user display. This doesn't mean there are no staff in Art Club, it actually means we have a LOT. We want to boost some of the incentive roles up a lot higher and this is a great way to achieve that!

Congratulations to TRICK 👻 for winning October’s event!

🪑November’s Potluck 🪑

BIG NEWS FOR ART CLUB (hence the use of our special ping)

We are now the first Discord server to offer interactive art battles within our community!! We have been working on something extremely unique to set Art Club apart from any other Discord server available. How could we do that with SO many creative servers available? With an art battle arena of course!!

You can now go head to head against other Art Club members in a 1 v 1 art prompt battle. This battle is fully prompted by our custom bot Espy and will earn you pixel rewards as you progress! When a match is finished, your pieces go into #👀︱・voting for the community to anonymously vote. Make sure you check this channel for new artwork daily!

How do the battles work?
Easy!! We have created 3 queues for you all to join. There is beginner, open floor and professional level which requires the professional role. All you have to do is visit #🆚╭・battle and react "" which will put you into the queue of your choice. When the bot has found another artist to match with, it will create a new battle channel for you and the opponent to select your time. After selecting the time, Espy will give you a random prompt and start the timer. Complete the piece before the timer ends and submit it into the channel for Espy to forward to voting.

What do I win?
Not only do you win pixels and showcasing, this is designed to help encourage training in your skillset. With a competitive aspect to art, you will learn to create thousands of new perspectives while following prompts you never thought to achieve. Art battles will be an extremely helpful tool for creative training!

When will art battles be available?
Art battles are available NOW and will around for a very long time. We hope this brings another unique side to Art Club!

[quiet knot]

Thank you for the feedback!!
We hear all your concerns about the art games and will work hard on having them implemented as soon as possible. We will also be adding an option to request battles with other members via a command! This will allow for you to choose your own opponent rather than entering public queue. There were over 100 art battles yesterday!

How do I exit an art game?
Right now you just allow for the timer to expire and the match will automatically close. In the very very near future there will be an ❌ reaction on the prompt post for both artists to react to that will also cancel the match. We are working hard on adding thousands of prompt ideas to Espy in this current time, you might get some duplicates!

How do I view my wins?
Currently you can view your wins by typing /artgamestats or /ags for short. This will be implemented into Izzi's card command in the future so that all the information is in one place.

Where do the wins go?
We gave #🥇・showcase another meaning of course! In Art Club we like to keep the channels compressed without adding any unnecessary length. All winning pieces will be featured in the showcase channel for the public to view!

What do I win?
You win pixels of course! Your winnings depend on the category you enter. Each category has the ability to offer you higher rewards. Beginner starts at 10 thousand pixels, open is 50 thousand and professional is 100 thousand. In the future Izzi will track a leaderboard for wins.

How do I submit feedback?
If you have an idea for art games feel free to submit #💡・suggestions. We listen to these and review this channel daily for new changes! If you run into a bug, skip this process completely and head right on over to #645525915920629761 to contact a dev!

More improvements this week in art battles. Thank you all for making this a successful launch!

Art Battles
Hey everyone! With the release of Art Games we didn't anticipate the server space it might consume by its popularity. We have upgraded the server space for Espy and we should hopefully not run into any of these errors anymore. If you had an issue with your game in the last 12 hours, please contact the #645525915920629761 channel to let us know!

More updates coming soon!

<:XI_AC:860581343607128065> Happy New Year!

Hello Art Club, and good morning/ evening to all of you. We've approached the new year, 2022 is finally upon us. It’s been quite a year, and for a lot of us, it’s been tough. But, you’ve all made it! We’re truly appreciative that you’re all here, helping us make Art Club the art server that it is. We look forward to many more years with all of you, and to help each other through each of our art careers. Happy New Year, everyone and we hope you meet all your set resolutions!

What's the plan for 2022?

We have grown quite a large amount in 2021 and have met so many talented individuals. The Art Club was created just over 2 years ago and we never expected to get to almost 20 thousand members! That's a crazy high number but we don't want to stop there. This year we plan on bringing you a lot more unique features to our bots and hopefully have a brand new website for you all to interact with. This month we will be releasing a lot of new updates including a new premium membership that will help support the clubs operations and incentives.

Anything else?

How about a snowball fight? Visit #926339886028558336 to learn more about how to take part in this months team battle. We are going to do an art snowball fight online!!

Thank you for all the support in 2021!

We hope everyone had a great holiday and we wish you a safe and happy New Year!

Good morning/ evening Art Club! It's finally a new year! It really feels like 2021 flew by for me, yet it was a drag. How was your 2021? Let's make 2022 great together! In the meantime, let's check out this week's news!

Dusk VS Dawn: Snowstorm!
Newspaper's New Schedule!

----------------------------------------------------------

🌙 Dusk VS Dawn: Snowstorm ☀️

To attack another member with one, type /throw @member and you should get a prompt of what to draw! Remember that you must be in a team to participate in this event!

🗒️ Art Tips with Macchiato

Tip #00 - Practicing

Hey there fellow artists, welcome to the Art Tips segment of the newspaper! My art tip to you this week is to practice! A very important but simple one. Try setting aside some time each day and take time to refine some of your methods. Even 5 - 10 minutes is enough. Everyone has different strategies when it comes to practicing so I want to know, how do you practice?

💬 Feel free to join the discussion thread!

Tip 1 - Limit Your Uploads
Although we would love to see every piece you have ever made, we believe you should only upload a maximum of 3 images in a channel per hour. This allows for other artists to get a little bit of time in the spotlight before getting sent to a higher position in the channel. If you have over 3 images to share, feel free to come back later and share the rest by utilizing the reply feature on your previous post!

ㅤ

Tip 2 - Feedback & Formatting
Hundreds of artists come to Art Club daily to look for help on their pieces. You can reduce your help time by avoiding any generic questions like "how do I paint?" or "How do I create art?". Try and be more specific by mentioning what you are actually looking to achieve. The question "how can I get good at art?" will have thousands of answers, all with different perspectives!

ㅤ

Tip 3 - Refrain from Reposting
Try to refrain from reposting the same piece in every channel or sharing upload links from sources like Instagram or Twitter. We designed Art Club as a place to interact with other creatives and new perspectives and sharing your art in every channel or redirecting members to other platforms can prevent these interactions. We leave those platforms to avoid this type of spam, please don’t bring it here!

3 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp milk

🎙️ Discussions with Macchiato - Experimenting & Inspiration

When you practice, it’s important to experiment with different methods and styles until you find one that works best for you. There are a lot of sources out there you can use! Even combining the styles and techniques your favorite artists use with yours could help refine your own methods. How have your methods changed over your artistic journey and who are some of the artists that have inspired you to continue art?

💬 Feel free to join the discussion thread!

💌 Thank you for reading!

Thanks for reading today's newspaper! It’s getting quite cold out here, so I hope you’re staying warm. I have a lot more planned for the newspaper, so be sure to stay with us until next time!

When I’m sick of being an illustrator, I’m a 3D artist. And when I can’t bear to sculpt anymore, I’ll be a musician. And when my fingers are raw, I’ll be a programmer. And when I start thinking I should have been a computer scientist instead of an artist, I go back to illustrating.

End of Bracket - Art Club President Announcement

It is with a great amount of joy to announce the end of our very first Art Club Presidential Bracket event. After several hard fought art battles over the course of the past 2 months, we do officially have a winner and PRESIDENT of Art Club.

🥇 @pearl hollow - 1 year of nitro, Art Club President, and 5,000,000
🥈 @foggy quiver - 1 month of nitro and 2,500,000
🥉 @mystic hamlet & @open patio - 1,000,000

The title of president will last until the end of the year, where we will host our next presidential bracket. Until then though, HelloWorld will serve as Art Club's first official president. While this role does not provide any special permissions currently, we may look to include some special features in the near future.

Thank you so much to everybody who supported the tournament and participated!

Art isn’t about what you see, but rather what you feel. To really show emotion through your creations is truly what art is about. Anyone can learn how to draw, just pick up a brush and paint what you feel, that is the beauty of it.

Always remember to take a step back from your work and look at the full picture, don’t fixate on the minor details and remember that you can be your biggest critic. At the end of the day, you should enjoy making what you’re creating even if it’s not exactly what you pictured.

These days, it's easy to forget that art is a personal form of expression. Many artists get trapped in this bubble of thinking that they need to please others when they create. Never forget that art should be something that makes you happy as well!

Macchi's Recommended Recipes

Japanese Milk Bread
Macchiatos Recommends Recipes returns this week with a delicious-looking recipe recommended by @devout warren! Although time-consuming to make, Japanese milk bread's soft and creamy texture makes it worth the effort to bake.

Now, let's move on to the ingredients and instructions!
ㅤ

Ingredients
2 tbs of instant dry yeast
1 1/3 cups of milk (warm)
4 tbs of sugar
3 cups of AP flour (might need more)
4 tbs of condensed milk
4 tbs of melted butter

Optional (for honey/cinnamon butter)
1 cup of sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 sticks of soft butter
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
ㅤ

**Directions**

For the bread:

In a bowl mix the yeast, milk, 2 tbs of sugar. Put to the side for 5 minutes to let it bloom.

Mix flour, condensed milk, butter, and yeast in a mixing bowl. Use the dough hook and mix at low speed, or gently knead by hand, until the mixture is shaggy and sticky.

By hand or with the mixer, knead the dough for 6-10 minutes or until it forms a smooth, subtle ball of dough. Scrape it off the hook a few times and the bowl during this process when it is overwhelming the sides.

Form the dough into a ball and put it in a bowl and wrap, leave out for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours in a warm room.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F, and prep your loaf pan.

Authors Note: I personally add parchment paper on the edges overlapping the whole pan so that I can pull it out quickly, along with buttering everything!

ㅤ

Put flour on the board/table and roll the dough to the width of your pan but 2-3x longer. Gently roll the dough into itself tightly, then fold in the edges. Put into the loaf pan. This enriches the dough.

Once the time is up check if it's 190 degrees F in the thickest part of the bread, then remove out of the loaf pan. Brush with melted butter. Let sit for 30 mins until fully cool.

For the butter:

Beat the sugars and butter together until it is light and creamy.
Add cinnamon, honey, and vanilla extract. Beat until combined

Serve on the side!

Featured Artist: @torpid acorn! I love this next one a lot! In addition to the superb use of thin lines in the creation of textures and light shading, the soft, elegiac lighting hitting the character's eyes and tears also convey an evocative, melancholic mood.

If you ever feel like your artwork isn't good enough, keep drawing regardless. Don't listen to the negative people around you and just keep working up. You are good enough, and you will get where you want to be as long as you keep going.

February 2022 #4

🏆 Featured Artist - @Kirill Chirkov

Featured Artist: @quartz quiver! It's not often you see playful and bright colors when looking at skulls. With this piece however, these contrasting elements combine to make quite the vivid and fun image. Cute Rock is a 3D creation that bridges the gap between two very different worlds and through that fusion breathes life into new genres.

<:q:935361339348635648><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008><:l:935359660104491008>

‼️ IMPORTANT SERVER UPDATES ‼️

In the past week we have went through a few updates within Art Club that change the process of how some of our channels function. We have worked really hard on these updates and we hope the community enjoys them!

💼 Commission system update!

It's about time our commission system gets a clean formatting! We finally bring the ability to create a commission card in a more professional set up that brings on a more secure transaction between artist and client. Prior to this update, the channel didn't really have a focus and members could have any formatting which made this channel cluttered. Transactions were not overseen by staff and scams could occur a lot more commonly as we couldn't ensure safety in side conversation. This being said we have added a few new commands for you!

/editcommission

The edit commission command requires that your direct messages are on. This can be typed in any channel and will open a commission sheet editor in your direct message that is easily customized through reactions. Make sure to fill out all the sections in order to ensure that your client can fully understand what you are selling.

/commission

To post your commission sheet into the commission channel you just need to type /commission which will allow you to post this card every 48 hours.

/autocommission <:XL_Key:932500146246262794>

This feature is offered to our key holders. Every 24 hours the key holders commission cards will be posted into the commission channel at the time they specify. The time is set to GMT to match the server banner time.

Client contact

A client can now react the :envelope: emoji located at the bottom of your commission sheet which will create a private chat between the artist and the client. Staff can oversee these conversations but will not interfere unless called upon. After the job is completed, the seller will receive a transcript of the conversation in their direct messages for documentation. These are also logged by Art Club so that we can easily remove any members attempting to scam within our community.

📘 New directory!

The Art Club has improved our directory to offer a more clear understanding of what we offer within the club. The graphics have also been updated by Kat who has created a visual representing the category more clearly. We hope you like the new channel makeover!

:link: Check it out here - #2022-server-map

📜 Rules Update

Next week the rules channel will be updated to include ruling about artwork and how to post within our club. These rules currently exist within our club but we will be highlighting them a little more just to clear up the confusion. Below are the rules about how to post within Art Club to ensure that all artists get an equal opportunity.

• 3-5 attachments maximum per hour.
• No-reposting the same content.
• All work in progress goes in the WIP channel.
• Follow our /NSFW rules on adding spoilers.
• Screenshots are not accepted. Please export properly.
• Tracing is okay if credited to original artist in post.
• Art theft is instant removal from community.
• AI generated art must follow /AI guideline.
• No memes/Tenor GIF in the art channels.
• Post in the properly labeled channels.

We feel like these rules are fair to the community members and can easily be followed. We want all of your artwork seen and to do so we need to set a guideline in place to ensure our channels are shared equally.

:heart: Enjoy!

We hope that these updates have helped improve your experience here within Art Club a little further. There will be more updates on the way really soon as we work on reformatting Izzi to include most of the suggestions made this year. If you run into any bugs with this update, please contact support so we can look into tackling the bugs as soon as possible!

[inner hedge]

This week instead of our usual newspaper, we wanted to take a moment to address the events taking place in Ukraine and Russia.

Firstly, we want to extend our sincere wishes of safety to those of you in war zones. Our thoughts are with you and we hope that our server may provide you with a safe space during these troubled times.

Secondly, we request that members refrain from discussing politics in our general chatrooms as much as possible. While we encourage everyone to stay informed of current events, we want to be respectful of the emotions and hardships of those involved. We truly value the feelings of all of our members, and thus try our hardest to ensure that Art Club stays a safe place for all to share and discuss art. As such, we ask that any political discussions be kept in the Void Channel or taken to direct messages.

If you wish to keep yourself informed on the current events, below are sources that can keep you updated. Stay safe everyone!

Commissions Channel Update & Assistant Program

It’s been a minute since our last newspaper! I hope all you readers are doing well this fine week! For the first time in a while, Art Club is seeing some new updates and upgrades to its channels and features. Take a look at this week's newspaper to see all these new updates, as well as how things are going in the community!

As always, let’s get into it! 🌱

🖍️ **Utilizing the Commissions Channel**

After weeks of development, a new commissions system was released by our developer last week! You can create a card of your own through the /editcommision command. In this week's paper, we'll provide tips on making the most of this new feature!

Communication is vital. With the new commission system, contact between the artist and client is easier than ever! However, from there, it’s up to you and your client to communicate clearly and effectively. Make the amount of time you’re spending on a project clear, as well as any vital information you might need when creating your commissions!

Pricing your artwork is a challenge many creators face, and many go about it in many ways. Think about the time, labor, and cost of the materials you’ve spent on your commission when setting a price. Don’t undervalue your work! Base your prices on facts, not feelings.

Have fun! Maintaining passion for what you do is just as important as making money from these commissions.

We hope you all enjoy the new commission system put in place. If you ever have a problem with its mechanics, feel free to open a ticket in our support channel.

**Assistants Program Debut**

Upgrades upgrades upgrades! Art Club now presents new opportunities for our members. If you wish to be more involved in Art Club but face problems with time, the Assistants position has got you covered.

Issue #21

Using the Subcategories & Ending March Events

Welcome to the twenty-first issue of the newspaper! Time really does fly, doesn’t it? Today we have a lot of content for you to enjoy and just a few event updates! As always, let’s get into it! 🌱

Using the Subcategories
Assistants Program Updates
March Event Announcements

Premium Member Goals
Weekly Riddles

💌 **Using the Subcategories**

In the Art Club, the subcategories are special channels that deviate from the broad topics of digital, traditional, and applied. In these channels, you can have discussions with other artists freely! But there are times when these discussions can block another member's artwork.

Now, members have officially been given the option to create threads in the subcategories. If you and another member plan to have a long discussion about a piece of art, feel free to utilize this new feature!

Please keep in mind that chatting and artwork rules still apply in our threads!

If you don’t know how to use threads, feel free to follow this discord tutorial.

🔹 **Assistants Program**

Have you seen members with assistant roles in the general chats lately? The role was made to let members who lack time get more involved with the Art Club. It can be accommodated around your schedule and is easily accessible for everyone! Now that it's official, you can look at the application if you're interested in participating [here.](#💙・opportunities message)

We have finally figured out how to integrate our staff members brains into the Discord API and turned them into functioning bots. This is a huge project of ours that we have been working on for years and we are really happy with how it turned out. They are a little buggy still though...

Don't worry, no staff were harmed in the process except a little memory loss but we plan on patching this bug in our next update. The staff members may run into more errors so if you spot any, feel free to reach out to #645525915920629761.

Happy April 1st everyone!

Featured Artist: @karmic carbon! What a wonderful use of composition and color! This is a prime example of how shape and value can create the appearance of detail even in a less detailed piece. The approach and style used in this piece are very successful at achieving a mysterious, old forest vibe.

Macchi's Super Secret Challenge

Hey everyone!

It's Macchi stopping by to share some...um super secret, 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 info.

Anywayyyy, don't tell anybody I told you but June is just a few months away and AC Underground is just around the corner! What's AC Underground? Oh yeah, I guess a lot of people probably don't know!

AC Underground is this super secret, super VIP, super underground creative conference that happens in Art Club each June! Professional creatives from within the server and beyond gather to share their art journeys, share super secret tricks of the trade, and host workshops about different artistic topics. And you wanna know the best part, it's FREE to everyone, but only those who are in the know! I guess this is your top secret invitation.

It takes a lot of work and resources to make ACUG happen, I know cause I'm kinda an underground reporter, if you know what I mean. But really, it does take a lot of time, work, and funds to make such a large event happen, especially since I hear the prizes this year are gonna be bigger and better than ever and there will be around 40 speakers!!!

So the peeps at headquarters have decided to try and get some high profile sponsors and you know what, a lot of people responded with interest! Think about your favorite art brands supporting the server, like Wacom, Copic, Faber-Castel, or Clip Studio Paint - how cool would that be! However, I hear they need your help to make this happen!

A lot of sponsors care about social media followers, so starting today I'm initiating a social media challenge to get help the staff get the numbers they need to get you the prizes and experience you want! I've included all the information down below.

Oooooo, isn't this exciting! Remember, don't tell anybody I told you, but feel free to spread the word! I'm depending on you! Let's get AC some sponsors!
.
.
.

Social Media Campaign

Okay, so here are the deets:

You may not know, but AC has its very own Instagram, Twitter, and now TikTok! Our handle is always @Artclublife, so it's very easy to find us! You can also find us here on Instagram, on Twitter, and now on TikTok.

To make this fun, let's turn it into a competition. The person who gets us the most followers will get a prize at the end of AC Underground - hopefully from one of our sponsors!

To help me keep track of who is in the lead, please get everyone you refer to fill out this brief form!

Let the campaign begin!

P.S.

I hear the staff are also looking for people to help out with the Instagram, Youtube, and Twitter right now! If you are into a low key, fun way to help out the server, think about applying here.

PPS. Remember, this all depends on how well we pull this off! There is no guarantee we get sponsors unless we put into the work. Let's come together in the spirit of Underground to make this happen! We got this!

Practicing Creativity & April Events

It’s been a while since our last overview of Art Club! How have you all been in these few months? With Art Club Underground coming in, I’ve been having a lot of fun preparing to see you all at the conference in June!

Creativity is a Skill

Weekly Riddle

⚙️ Creativity is a Skill

As an artist, there are times we believe that we aren’t creative, and that is a talent we can only be born with. But people are never born creative. Creativity is a skill, and therefore it can be developed and practiced. In this segment of the newspaper, there are some tips you can use to develop your inventiveness.

Practice daily. A simple but easy solution, that doesn’t always have to be extensive and hard. Create or do something new daily that deviates from your usual routine. Here are a few prompts you could follow:

-- Drawing over scribbles is a great way to practice your creative skills. Simply make a quick scribble on the page and create a drawing from it without erasing the original doodle.

-- Quanitity over quality! You could create a large series of scribbles with a common theme in a short time.

-- Experiment with different qualities of your routine. When cooking dinner, you could try out a new recipe or add a little kick to your usual dinner. Or start writing a new story in one of your notebooks every day.

Enjoy the process! Developing your creativity doesn’t always have to be a job. Learning a new skill or expressing yourself in new ways can also be essential to your growth.

☂️ **Event Updates**

Throughout our artistic journeys, there are always times when the road ahead seems rough and perilous. It’s during these times that we often look towards something for a spark of inspiration to continue our growth. Today’s discussion question is:

Who inspires you? It could be anyone! A family member, friend, co-worker, maybe even a pet. We all get our inspiration from someone or something.
