Drawfag
A drawfag is a typical fa/tg/uy gifted with a pencil or a stylus. The Drawfags of /tg/ have always been a good piece of dry wood to feed the never ending argument of whether or not they are beneficial to /tg/ as a whole.
Drawfags come in all styles, abilities and tastes, and often are flavored to a specific part of /tg/ which causes more trolling and arguments as the minority groups inside /tg/ (See: D&D Players and Magic: The Gathering Players) usually have few to no drawfags who draw for them, while the greater majority all get their drawn content related to Warhammer 40,000.
Threads usually see a surge of interest when a Drawfag is residing in the thread, as everyone and their mother wants to see their topic related ideas made manifest. Want your threads to succeed? Hire a drawfag. Once they start drawing for your topic, you'll suddenly remember that 4chan is an imageboard, and that people like having images to go along with all the text.
How Drawfags are Born, and How they Die
It all begins with a thread on /tg/. Could be any thread, it doesn't take much.
A fa/tg/uy in possession of a tablet, then enters the thread, and decides his scribbles will help contribute for him.
After having submitted their artwork, the artist notices a increase in interest in the thread, with cries of "Draw more!"
The artist continues to draw for the thread, and after about the fourth image submitted, the rest of /tg/ realizes that the drawfag is still around despite attempts to troll it away, and names it.
A undetermined amount of time passes, in which the drawfag enters a large number of threads and draws in all of them, spreading his or her fame and popularity across the board.
Once over the hill in popularity the impending death of the drawfag becomes apparent: the drawfag's ego is simply too large for good-for-nothing trolls to handle, and he or she will not consider drawing for /tg/ unless there are special circumstances or he is just asked nicely. At this point the drawfag is now dead to /tg/, and all threads he or she participates in become filled with trolling attempts to remove it from the thread, in the manner you would banish Socrates from Athens.
The artist then slips into obscurity, the suptg paintchat, or retreats back to deviantart, where they complain about /tg/'s shittiness.
Drawfag monikers
The process for naming a drawfag is extremely simple. (Unless they force a name they already go by) Because drawfags normally stick to a certain criteria or subsection of /tg/ that they enjoy, they are named by their peers according to their contributions.
For example, a drawfag that draws a Necron in a couple humorous situations is aptly named, "Lolcron."
Its not even that complicated really.
