There actually is a discord channel. It's not super active, and it's not character art focused, but there's a steady amount of people on there regularly: https://discord.gg/0Vu6wFfSmdmpePxp
I wish they would finish building the IRC component into discord so I could use that for both! Hopefully soon.
Agreed, I'm really looking forward to when Discord adds screen sharing. Here's hoping it's not toooooo far off. Would be mega useful to have it instantly accessible without having to do a hangout or twitch stream.
I think a 'closed' community like Slack is a better fit for something like this, as you get people who know eachother, and hopefully more active members, and less people who just drop by, ask one question and never contribute.

Discord is invite only, but the invites don't require approval. I dunno if you can change that or not.
I set that link to 25 uses. You can set who on the server can invite people, their specific permissions, as well as how long an invite(s) stays active. There's actually quite a bit of control. I would say Slack and Discord both are a similar level of 'closed'ness, but it's up to the admin of said servers.
that being said, I'm stoked that slack is adding screensharing... but when? and if it's not free, meeeh. Hangouts and Skype are, even if they aren't built into discord/slack. Integration is nice but I'm not sure I'd want to pay for with free options available.

Is there a forum post made for it? You should make a dedicated forum post.
Also add a art text channel! We can post our sketches and junk.

Voice chat and chat is SO much easier on discord. I'd make it, but i'm not qualified to maintain something like that for this place.
But Discord would be like combining google+ and slack into a nice functional package, well maybe slack more than google+ cause no screen sharing...
