Now that the dust has settled I think that we can all agree that Dobsons art wasn't that bad.

Now that the dust has settled I think that we can all agree that Dobsons art wasn't that bad.
It actually does the opposite, it makes me want more AI art and I feel sad I didn't get to see him make a comic about that.
Dobson would unironically use AI art and then throw a tantrum that would make Shad call him out.
>He makes AI art comic to mock how bad and uncreative using AI is
>He uses someone elses style as a prompt which means he is active in allowing the AI to steal someone elses art
>Makes more AI comics to argue that he is just utilizing it as an example and doesn't know why people are getting mad at him making a point.
First post unironically best post
Is there a specific reason why he sees himself as a blue anthro bear?
Now, this may come as a TOTAL SHOCK to you anon, but the blue fursona came about as a way to own his critics after all pointing out that the cartoon version of himself wasn't accurate to real life as he drew himself several pounds lighter and with a more generous hairline. SO naturally his response was HA HA comics don't HAVE to be accurate to real life, LOSER! See I can just draw myself as a blue bear!
And then it just sort of stuck.
Thing is, Andrew Dobson does have talent. He's not necessarily the best in the business, but he's made improvements and he can and has shown he knows how to make a decent comic...the problem is Dobson himself. The gross amalgamation of that faux-anime look with his unnecessary facial details, the unflattering expressions, the whiny and stuck-up dialogue, and especially the bitter angry tone of every single comics, all of that shit adds up to an extremely unappealing and ugly comic that is repellent no matter how good Dobson's artwork itself is.
He got tired of people making fun of the fact he depicted himself as thin with a full head a hair despite being bald and fat irl, so he thought making himself a care bear would stop the laughing. It only made it worse cause now people interpret it as admitting he himself is as outlandish and ridiculous as a toon with all these strawman comics.
His big thing is he doesn’t have the decency to write an honest story
Never thought of it like that but Dobson's artstyle really is the exact comic equivalent of that Roal Dahl snippet, you can just feel the negative energy oozing off every penstroke
>Dobsons art wasn't that bad
He was never too bad for internet standards to begin with. People made fun of him due to his delusional behavior, dumb viewpoints and inhability to take criticism.
And inflation. Don't forget inflation.
Stop talking about the economy right now.
no he drew inflation art
never knew Dobson was interested in the stock market.
Inflation is pussy shit, literally babby's first DA fetish. There's so many better artists with worse fetishes out there that it's not even worth bringing up in the conversation about Dobson.
Don't forget that he's also made fun of for the fact that he ran a inflation fetish website, he refuses to improve his art skills, and is almost as big of a Nintendo fan as moviebob.
People dunked on Dobson for being unable to let go of the DIC Nintendo shows and getting mad at Nintendo for not sticking to their ideas. Even Moviebob was able to to accept change or at least find a cope by adopting the "Brooklyn backstory still happened, the Mario family just moved to New York after the events of Yoshi's Island for safety reasons" fan theory.
I will never understand these Mario lore guys. Maybe back then it was harder to realize characters would appear different ways in different media products? I remember as a kid I'd see Batman had a different origin story in the 1989 movie than in BTAS, and I was just like 'oh okay they're not really the same Batman, Batman is like a story you tell'. Do they not get that? Is there something about some version of Mario they saw that they really needed to stay 'whole' in one singular character for their entire lives?
How do these people handle James Bond?
The Brooklyn backstory (whose primary function was always to explain why Mario went from fighting King Kong knockoffs in a big city to jumping around a fairytale kingdom) was something NOA was consistently putting out there between the cartoons, picture books, comics and the shitty live-action movie and I think even Miyamoto was quoted as saying Mario was from Brooklyn at some point. And in a time where the only story the Mario games had was whatever they wrote in the manuals, adaptations reinforcing this specific point over and over again might as well have been gospel.
and then it looped back ‘round for the animated movie
>How do these people handle James Bond?
Before Craig, it was all literally the same guy in canon. You weren't meant to acknowledge the age/physical changes.
>I will never understand these Mario lore guys.
they're Nintendo fans. there's no point trying to understand them because their heads are so far up their own asses.
I don't get those Nintendo guys who treat their games too seriously. Like, does Pokemon and Zelda need serious lore and stuff? They are games for children for fricks sake, of course they need a more simple continuity. And isn't it the whole point of shit like Mario and Zelda that they are light-hearted, whimsical stories? Isn't it the whole point that they are so family-friendly and comfy?
I think taking the lore super seriously and not accounting fot the creators forgetting/not caring is silly, but a lot of the people who obsess over continuity ARE kids, or started when they were young. Kids, at least the kids that grow up to post online, love lore. Thinking kids don't care is something old boomer execs think.
Pokemon legit has a lot of actual serious lore, and Zelda gives the impression of it until you start looking deeper into it and realizing it doesn't fit all that well together because Nintendo's attitude to it is basically "lol".
But Mario was always just excuse plots in the manual and mortal enemies going gokarting together because frick you this is a gokart game.
None of those nintendo IPs have anything on Kirby
Never understood the serious Kirby angle, it's just a silly game
I love this image. It instantly silences anyone trying to think deeply over children’s media.
Yes. How old is he now?
>Zelda gives the impression of it until you start looking deeper into it and realizing it doesn't fit all that well together because Nintendo's attitude to it is basically "lol".
Each individual Zelda game has super cool lore. They just don't fit together well. But you can see why someone would get interested in the lore, since each game presents an interesting version of the world to explore.
Really, it would be best to treat each Zelda game as its own continuity (barring the direct sequels like Majora's Mask), but people really wanna fit it all together so instead we get the Zelda timeline.
As much as people try to force a "It's just the same story told over and over again" narrative when dismissing the timeline, I do think there's value in treating the inconsistencies in tone, geography and presentation as the work of different storytellers adding their own flair to whichever legend of Hyrule they're recounting.
The early games were definitely branching backwards in time and telling the story behind past events mentioned in earlier games, it's mostly the newer ones that are a bit weird continuity-wise.
Plus, you know, it's a video game. Some concessions and liberties have to be taken with the setting for the sake of making a brand new game.
And for as much as people shit on Hyrule's appearance regularly changing, it's still been relatively consistent over the decades. Nintendo can't even settle on whether the Mushroom Kingdom is an island or not.
I've been a proponent of the main games up until Wind waker all working well enough on a timeline and it intentionally being so(We know LTTP is a prequel to the NES games, and OoT's sages being the names of towns in AoL is a clear intentional sign).
That said, 40 years on it's hard to really take in an NES game with limited lore into consideration of the mythos.
>and OoT's sages being the names of towns in AoL is a clear intentional sign).
OoT telling the actual story of how the sages sealed the portal to the Golden Land even more so. It just got a bit muddled in the west because the English LttP had called them "wise men" instead of "sages", which bit them in the ass when OoT revealed half of them were female.
It's no different than the Legend of Zelda Lore guys who have this moronic notion that every game needs to be set in some sort of timeline when the better interpretation always was to see each game as its own rendition on "the legend" of Zelda. Similar to how many greek legends have different stories depending on the source. It makes way more sense than trying to smash everything together into a timeline that requires literal time splitting to make work. Nintendo obviously only made the timeline as a moronic appeasement to fans because when looking at the games there's often very little rhyme or reason for whether they take place before or after eachother. Hell Tears of the Kingdom is a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild and has huge retcons and inconsistencies despite taking place only a couple years between each other.
Timeline always existed, with Aonuma explaining the child/adult split when Twilight Princess came out. The only asspull was the "Losing in OoT creates a branch with all the old games".
The lare 80s to early 90s were a breeding ground for autism.
Nintendo changes the canon so much that canon is whatever you want it to be at this point
I suspect that part of the reason people dunked on Dobson so hard far the American Nintendo stuff is HOW he came across, where he was outright hostile to the new stuff.
Meanwhile, someone like the A Fox in space guy, who's project derives more from SNES era Star Fox than later canon(for example, IIRC Falco's voice is inspired by the noises he makes in the SNES game)
It kinda sucks because, even though they were before my time, I was fond of some of the old DiCtendo stuff like the LoZ cartoon, and Dobson seemed to poison the well for discussing them for a decade. I was happy to hear the new Mario movie referencing the supershow theme and no one was upset(besides maybe a few people)
Don't they live in Brooklyn in the movie anyway
>and is almost as big of a Nintendo fan as moviebob.
I'm still not convinced they're not the same person
Dobson never held a funeral for Nintendo Power Magazine or forgone his Grandma's funeral to play SMB3 to write a shitty book
That is consoomer behavior if I’ve ever seen it
Movieblob is literally the basis for the 38 year old consoomer meme.
>forgone his Grandma's funeral to play SMB3 to write a shitty book
what
Moviebob wrote a book which was half love letter half strategy guide for Super Mario Bros 3. He straight up mentions in the book that his Grandma passed away while writing the book.
Didn't Movieblob also claim that seeing SMB3 in "The Wizard" was like the 9/11 for gaming or something?
The book isn't even a strategy guide. It talks about SMB3 very seldom and doesn't give a whole lot of insight about the game. Instead it gives you insight into Bob Chipman. The focus is pretty much entirely on Moviebob.
It's like how the Sonichu comic isn't even about Sonichu. It's about Chris-chan.
And for that reason I recommend finding a PDF and giving it a read.
Yes. He said it was his generation's Vietnam or 9/11 in his book Brick by Brick.
dude has like some kind of legit autism
the whole zelda shit on twitter is probably some of the most out of touch with reality i've ever seen with a person
Have you read the sleepy airport story? It's the most autistic shit I have read in a while
Lmao why did he do it bros?
you know this isnt how things actually went down
i mean not only was he literally sleeping on the job but the "you look like shit" sounded more like concern then anger
Dobson is too autistic to understand what "you look like shit" actually implies.
His art is okay he's just the walking personification of Smug Hippy Artist
It looks okay-ish, it's just that he has a really obnoxious personality.
Hitler was okay-ish at painting, but look how people think of him.
You've convinced me anon. Dobson did nothing wrong
I always felt this way. His art is amateur and not up to professional standard, but it's not like it's terrible. It's the subject matter and arrogant smugness that people really hate.
His art really exudes that late-2000s internet comic energy and isn't really that much worse than anyone else from that time period.
I think it was just the fact that he never really improved whatsoever
It's meh and the coloring is terrible. There's some sort of gay mud filter on it like he wanted it to look retro or something??? It's ugly.
He's trying to turn his original anime influences that he despises into a smug political comic artstyle, the disconnect mixed with the desperate smugness he tries to inject into his artstyle makes it feel worse than most stuff i see from deviantart autists, even if the technical skill is there
STOP.
He only uses his art for revenge and spite
I demand signs of life.
Someone like him doesn't just leave the internet. He is either dead, homeless, in a ward or imprisoned.
He's seething and malding in a private chat somewhere, a guy like him can never shut up
Yeah you’d like that wouldn’t you, you little parasocial freak
There's nothing wrong with trying to find more details and whereabouts on such a high quality, entertaining lolcow.
Specially since he didnt even at least do us a favour and leave in a fun way, and no new dobson replacement lolcow has turned up despite the efforts to find one.
>no new dobson replacement lolcow has turned up despite the efforts to find one.
are there seriously freaks like you going across the entire internet just to find vulnerable people to make fun of?
Normalgays like you never belonged here. Get the frick out.
you cant say shit. stalkers like you killed the fun of the og internet and now all we have are people censoring themselves because you morons wont leave them alone.
Well duh! That's literally why Encyclopedia Dramatica and Kiwifarm exist.
Awesome, feel free to go back there. I know they still exist in some form somewhere
There's vulnerable people and there's lolcows. lolcows do this to themselves. Honestly if Dob just left the net he actually won. Cuz the reason no one should have pity for lolcows like this frick or Chris Chan is they themselves crave the attention. Especially bad. They can just leave the net and get a normal life because clearly no one online cares about them, but they don't. So of course you milk the cows you have. Fricking normies like you don't belong here.
yes, me
> There's nothing wrong with trying to find more details and whereabouts on such a high quality, entertaining lolcow.
Yes there is
>Mummy I need muh internet funny man to make meself feel better mummy please
Dobson was a pathetic fricking loser but somehow you're getting close to him in terms of loserdom
This, just find another cow. They get fatter every year. I remember thinking Ulillillia was the biggest weirdo on the internet in the pre-Chris Chan/Dobson days.
Do you havd any recommendations? Does JohnnySomali count?
Oh hello Dobson, seeing if you’re still relevant on here as well as Cinemaphile
Maybe he actually just left the internet. Sure he got bullied off like the pathetic fricking loser he is, but don't you think desperately hoping he's still around isn't pathetic in its own right?
Most of the online weirdos I saw in the early 2000 eventually just stopped updating, people do grow tired of the internet. Social media has made people used to constant streams of updates but it wasn't uncommon to just stop seeing people after a few years as real life got in the way.
This. People forgot how it wasn't uncommon to see artists straight up drop off the face of the planet and how often people would mourn the death of yet another webcomic, especially with how many of the things flooded the web. Webcomics actually finishing was considered a rare fricking event.
According to one of his final posts his moronic ramblings and shitty behavior on Twitter caused his brother to not get a job, because googling him would get you all these bad results. So his family begged him to touch grass
Everyone brings up this whole "Dobson's schizo ramblings cost his brother a govt job" thing, but no one seems to have proof when warranted
A whole lot of 'lolcow' content are huge exaggerations of misremembered or made up things. Not that a good amount isn't real, but there's a lot of stuff that just has no evidence.
what about CWC?
Everyone believes the cheesy foot glowie narrative when it's been stated before by Chris' half-brother that Barb was a groomer and wanted to be the only woman in her offspring's lives.
it's entirely possible/believeable
keep in mind these wereb't just 'schizo ramblings', they were threats and wishes of violence to the then president and government officials. If you're applying to a government job and google searching your name and background brings up your brother threatening and wishing violence on politicians, thats gonna be a problem
I'm not saying it definitely happened because I've yet to see proof, but its well within the realm of possibility
I think it's credible because his family staging an intervention seems like one of the few things that could reign him in. Also it was around the time he was doing his lesbian muslim vampire webcomic that he went all in on and it flopped.
His brother deleted all of his social media stuff along with job profiles, that's why people think this
Having social media as a lawyer sounds like a bad idea. Every opinion can be taken as bias.
Pretty crazy how even though EVERYONE tells this story, NO ONE has ANY evidence. Almost like THERE ISN'T ANY, BECAUSE IT'S A FRICKING LIE TOLD ON THE INTERNET.
Knowing Dobson, its probably true though lets not kid ourselves. Dobson is a putrid bag of a human being and if even other people such as we can't leave the internet for good then certainly that scumbag cant leave from his own accord instead of being forced by external factors either.
Yeah, but we’re anonymous. Maybe he went anonymous too. He could be in this very thread, right now.
STOP DISAGREEING WITH ME
It's a plausible theory. What do WANT to have happened to him?
I don't care, I'm just sick of people posting that BS when there's zero evidence of it being true.
Maybe he went to therapy, and the therapist convinced him to unplug/go anonymous for a while?
>I don't care, I'm just sick of people posting that BS when there's zero evidence of it being true.
You either don't care or you are triggered.
Can't do both son.
What I mean is, the truth doesn't matter to me, it's just dumb to see everyone parroting something with no proof.
>I think Dobson was abducted by aliens!
Equally valid.
I mean it's either that or he's just frickin dead. Dude doesn't do subtlety well enough to just be hiding.
Is there any screenshot about that?
Nah that was just fake.
The apparant truth seems to be; Dobson ACTUALLY wised up and either took a proper break from the internet. That or he's keeping it lowkey.
He's putting together a team.
I need closure, but Im also not parasocial enough to stock him. His name and face is out there, if someone cared enough they could find him
frick off back to kiwifarms you obsessed homosexuals
No. You.
Kiwifarms got shut down so the mega-autists scrambled back here.
It's not down now
Kiwi Farms isn't down. It was TOR-only for a while but now the original domain is back.
There is something really disturbing and wrong about kiwifarms.
Seeing so much users dedicate hours upon hours on random people to stalk them, collect information or trying to ruin them doesn't seem normal.
Just sheer amount of effort put into this makes my head spin.
Some people actually dedicate more time to this then to their lives, they find most vilest moron and stalk them for years and carefuly document his every movement.
Is this Autism on Steriods or some kind of pent up rage?
Imagine if they collectively dedicated this time to do something for themselves.
TMZ does the same thing but they get paid for it
He left the internet because he got a job in the industry. He wasn't a tallentless hack like DSP and Boogie who exist just to be made fun of.
I saw his YouTube channel before it was deleted, and he had good shit in there.
>"Let's hire this guy who made a couple of student animations over a decade ago with no work experience related to this despite having graduated over a decade ago and in fact no work experience at all for over a decade, with his last job being at some airport! Now all we need to do is not type his name into google like every employer does. Also let's not interview him and discover that he's an butthole, that would be cheating. And we're also not going to fire him later when he's caught sleeping on the job and is unable to get along with any of his coworkers or bosses."
Yeah, okay.
That is copium. The dude was hated on twatter of all places and tumblr. You aint getting a job with the creatives if you can't even post there or anywhere else man.
>You aint getting a job with the creatives if you can't even post there or anywhere else man.
kek no, that's not the case at all. There's a ton of people in the industry that almost never post online. I know Cinemaphile thinks the whole industry is tumblr hires but there's still tons of people in their 30's/40's and onward that maintain very little web presence, and don't need to because they get their jobs from networking. Something like storyboarding for commercials wouldn't care, either.
What keeps Dobson from getting a job is just not being good.
More cope
With Dobson's reputation, it wouldn't matter if he left the internet.
It's not cope. I'm saying him being able to post on social media or not wouldn't help or hurt, he still wouldn't get a job because he just isn't good enough.
This is some serious cope. Dobson was well known industry gays and not for anything good. No one is going to hire him
WE FOUND HIM
The sad truth is Dobson ended up being stronger than any of us. He left and broke free from the internet. I honestly hope he’s having a good life and happie
he definitely still lurks and posts somewhere anonymously
Same. He deserves redemption.
He was killed in a car crash in Michigan in early 2021.
I have a theory that in order to tell an actual story you have to be open with your sick human vulnerabilities, but not in a way where you’re fiercely defending them, rather in a way where you’re actually talking about the real painful shit in life and not being false about it, because that’s what it takes to garner real emotion and desire for positive resolution in a story
>Now that the dust has settled I think that we can all agree that Dobsons art wasn't that bad.
Speak for yourself. This dude is a cringy fat homosexual loser who needs to be bullied into suicide. Just like you.
You first anon.
One funny thing about Dobbo's bear persona is that whenever reading a comic with it in one, I always imagine a crotchety, old man voice.
But in reality his voice sounds like this:
The thing about Dobson is that he was a minor DA celebrity in the early 2000's when webcomics were popular. He positioned himself as a teacher to younger artists and got an ego due to him being semi-popular online. Then around the mid 2000's onward their became a boom of more detailed, higher quality art on DA, with more sophisticated tutorials and better quality, so Dobson really didn't look impressive at all. I'm talking abut the Sakimichan/Artgerm/ concept art types and the onset of popular twitter artists now.
Ironically, because those styles are so common now, I think people miss the more classic 2000's webcomic look and the amateur feel. I think that's why you see people being more forgiving to him now.
His art still isn't /great/ but it's serviceable and consistent, a better example of his general style is someone like Eric Schwartz of Sabrina Online.
Yeah, the current "Studio Trigger faux anime" look on twitter is getting boring. A lot of popular artists are starting to blend together because of it
There are some really long-standing porn artists that I didn't like back in the day that I've grown to like as a result of this. Their styles may be odd but at least they're unique.
Any names come to mind?
I think it's "Hitler art" situation. Now, let me explain. Hitler was a mid artist, his art had a lot of glaring mistakes but he wasn't all that bad. His stuff was passable for some postcard art or whatever. But because it's Hitler, people are quick to tell you that his art is the worst thing ever, literally Chris Chan level scribbles bad.
Same with Dobson. His art is not offensively bad, it's just extremely mid. I wouldn't pay it that much attention but on other hand I wouldn't say it's horrible. Just absolutely bland and forgettable. It's his nasty personality that is seen even in his art (strawmen, smug protagonist, preaching) that makes it horrible.
Hitler wasnt actually that bad. He gets a bad rep for one painting which is of the "Alter Hof" in munich germany where brainlets go "perspective is off" when the actual thing irl was just as slanted, because medieval buildigns werent built exaclty straight.
Basically it was the same mindset as Dobson.
His work was decent and he could have done design work for architecture.
But Adolf, like Dobson, had bigger aspirations, without understanding that their quality doesn't meet THAT height.
At least Hitler had a career and an impact on the world
no, he had serious perspective problems in all his paintings
And I knew guys in their 80's who had entire art careers while admitting they only "eyeballed" perspective. It's rough, but that wouldn't stop someone from buying a painting.
Did they attend art college?
Some yes or an art studies course, though some started as teenagers.
wouldn't stop someone from buying one, sure. wouldn't stop the general public from glancing at it and going "huh, neat painting". but let's not act like he had some sort of special talent or skill. he was ok at painting architecture with weird skewed perspectives and that's about it
I mean, his Disney fanart wasn’t too shabby
>you now realize that hitler probably would have been a Cinemaphile drawgay
It seems he had an issue with eyes.
Huh, I didn't know he did Disney fanart. Thanks for teaching me something new.
And that's why he wanted to go to art school to get better. And because the commie homosexuals in charge wouldn't let him in... well you know what happened.
The Vienne School of Fine Arts doesn't teach people how to draw. Just like Juliard doesn't teach you how to play the guitar
>that window behind the staircase
What are your schizo perspective lines supposed to show?
You realize finding a straight angle in old European architecture was basically impossible back then?
This is the same wall of the same building in the painting anon.
Reminder.
His landscapes had some issues with perspective, ironically.
Nothing that a little instruction couldn't fix.
I honestly love the second artist, but I always forget his name
Egon Schiele
I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't THOSE drawings who the artists used to pass, you fricking moron.
Pablo Picasso remained perfectly capable of doing photorealistic or Impressionism even when he was doing his most insane paintings.
Pablo Picasso's realistic drawings are incredibly wooden and nothing special. And that's with him living an incredibly privileged life as the bastard child of a wealthy business man which afforded him to be trained as an artist since childhood.
Honestly, the impression of the art scene at the time is most correct. It was a highly political scene, and most Modernists were avowed communists, with Picasso as the most obvious example. A better example than Hitler of what went down is Han van Meegeren. He was an architect and classical artist who had his work laughed out of the art scene. Convinced of his own talent he sequestered himself in Italy for near a decade, perfecting not only his art, but also his skill at artificially aging his work. He painted in the style of Vermeer, and through his contacts dropped some lines that an unknown work of Vermeer was "discovered". It was confirmed by experts, and sold for a decent price. While he originally intended to spring out and show everyone how foolish they'd been the money provided a better motivator. He kept "discovering" new Vermeers and got rich. After WWII he was arrested for having sold cultural heritage to the Nazis, so he came clean. They were all original works. The judge didn't believe him, and to prove his innocence he painted his final work under police supervision. He was still sentenced on a lesser charge, but kicked the bucket before he had to go to jail thanks to his rampant pain killer abuse.
>scam nazis out of money
>still get sentenced to jail
what
He was convicted for forgery.
fascists in italy had their own modernist movement called futurism
You can look up the exact drawing he submitted for his exam and they're basic level for art students. Maybe he shouldn't have dropped out of highschool for this
When you're competing with other artists for a spot little mistakes like this stand out to them
>basic level
Come on, that’s exactly what
Means.
I mean yeah I agree he wasn't terrible at drawing but that post was somehow implying that he was as good if not better than picasso who could draw at that level when he was 10
No it didn’t, he just said he was serviceable
>cherry picked Picasso's crappiest drawings and Hitler's best
You're a silly billy, apples to apples they weren't on the same planet skill wise
Are you trying to tell me that connections, nepotism, and networking are more important than actual talent?!
>Pablo Picasso remained perfectly capable of doing photorealistic or Impressionism even when he was doing his most insane paintings.
So Picasso actually had talent and just chose not to use it?
>So Picasso actually had talent and just chose not to use it?
he chose to use it to do something that nobody else had done before and that very few people could do
>Picasso actually had talent and just chose
Picasso's father was a realist painters and there's theories a lot of his realist work is just stuff his dad did and that he claimed for clout
>So Picasso actually had talent and just chose not to use it?
he used it, he just had really shit taste.
What's crazy is that he went to MCAD, a well known art school that costs 50k a fricking year, nearly as much as calarts.
That said, I agree on his skills. MCAD actually requires a portfolio to get in so they must have seen SOME potential. The issue with his art is that he's ungodly lazy.
And of course, his shit personality
According to Dobson MCAD was full of mean buttholes and he dropped everything he learned right after graduating in favor of his own 80s cartoon esque art style
Knowing what we know of Dobson, his art got criticized by legit art teachers and he refused to grow.
His work is only good when he drops his style so I'm not surprised
It's not crazy at all, if you look at some of dobson's art he CAN draw, he just forced himself to draw like shitty old DiC cartoons out of mental illness or spite.
This guy had the biggest chip on his shoulder over "anime" and subconciously tried to avoid drawing visually appealing stuff because it reminded him too much of "anime".
When he drew that "anime girl made of chopsticks" thing over his wacky azn roommate (who draws like nomura irl) you could tell he was able to draw perfectly fine and appealing stuff for the time. He just forced himself to stay lame and not grow at all.
Basically he wasted all his potential out of spite and tried to become as lame as humanly possible just so he didnt have to compete.
>Basically he wasted all his potential out of spite and tried to become as lame as humanly possible just so he didnt have to compete.
And again, all while acting like his non-anime stuff could get him a DECENT job at DISNEY.
Meanwhile that guy, Andrew Chesworth: who went ot the same classes as Dobson, and who Dobson was jelous of?
Yeah he released this recently. And also has had extensive hand in all kinds of animated projects, Disney and otherwise.
That animated short really looks like a "good path" dobson had made it. Very eerily similar style.
Also the
>anime wont get you hired at disney
cope is 20 years past expiration date. Even dobsons roommate was hired despite his portfolio being full of anime girls.
What's that quote about hell being meeting the person you could've been?
It comes to mind.
Is this the one?
>The definition of hell is: Your last day on Earth, the person you became meets the person you could have become. ["Who Not How" by Dan Sullivan]
Holy frick look at that slampig in red
she's even got visible nipples
hnnnnnggggg
The worst part is that Dobson actually DOES like anime, he's just butthurt because the other members of his college anime club didn't treat his favorite shows with enough respect.
>She took ALL THOSE HORSES!
He's just extremely petty and has held constant grudges over every imagined slight. The worst part is that he doesn't even try to hide the fault that it's all petty in his comics where he's supposed to be the sympathetic one.
>Enters comic/game store despite being clearly closed.
>Gets told to frick off
>Well I guess I hate DnD forever now because I can't goddamn read a door sign.
dobson's artstyle isn't horrible, but one thing I can say for certain is the man can't color for shit. everything he colors looks so flat and muted and muddy, his shading is awful, man's got zero grasp of color theory or even just what looks good
I actually went to MCAD, and I can't really say it's the most prestigious school. The teachers are great, a lot of them have accolades. But the business end of the school are full of morons.
>The animation major attracts more students than any other major, but they hide all animation exhibitions from the main floor.
>They keep dragging their feet whenever somebody tries to expand the 2D digital class (it teaches cut-out animation)
>They'll accept some students that'll really make you question how did they get into the school to begin with.
>The 3D animation program is kinda stunted. But they're fixing it as they try to convert the school from being mostly 2D to mostly 3D. They recently got a few teachers with insanely good 3D accolades. But because of how small it was when I went there, the only thing you could try to get really good at was 3D modeling and rendering.
Dobson has got to be lying about that one. I went there a decade after Dobson graduated, but I got the opposite experience with the school. Everybody is overtly nice and kinda gay. Dobson probably spent his time at MCAD holed up in his dorm and refusing to make friends. Only coming out for classes, and then immediately leaving when the teacher lets everybody out.
>then immediately leaving when the teacher lets everybody out.
Didn't he more or less make a comic about that? How he would go straight to McDonald's after class?
Yes I saw the video too
If you're saying that the dust you refer to is art getting worse and worse online for a decade.
Send an email for me will ya
Your desperate gay desire for control is one of the major reasons why, not willing to take the hard journey of becoming a real man who becomes an influence in people's lives without needing to demand it.
I like you
God I've been here a long time even taking a few years break and there's still Dobson threads
He left in 2020 because he fricked over his brother from his sheer moronation. That’s the story, right?
its a story but no one ever seems to post any proof
I hope that’s just a rumor he spread himself to save face because the real reason’s too embarrassing to share.
Also looking forward to the Tim Buckley vid
I mean that's already embarrassing in and of itself. It shows that Dobson still lives with his parents and they can control his life so much that they can take him off the internet. plus if your internet antics start affecting the real world then you've already gone way too far
Hbomberguy made a pretty good video on CAD/Tim Buckley. Tim is probably the second most milked lolcow of all time.
This one?
Yeah. The stuff about The Room was out of left field, but the video is largely good IMO.
I don’t like the skits in between. He seems a bit hostile to critics in them
He's still a Breadtuber after all. They usually either intentionally or unintentionally shit on critics.
He certainly looks like one. I don’t get it, I saw his Sherlock Holmes video a while back and didn’t have problems with him.
He's a communist.
Aren’t they all? Frick.
Hbomb's Tim Buckley video sucks. Leaves out a lot of the funny shit in order to make space for stupid skits and a long introduction to what a comic is that isn't necessary. He is afraid to go into any depth on the trolling of Buckley because he knows it's a bad look to be like "haha we trolled the shit out of this guy."
Not to mention he just takes a jab against gaming culture out of nowhere. Fricking commies and their need for boogeymen.
Not just gamers, straight men in general. I’m already sick of it, but frick it. In for a penny, in for a pound.
This. Almost all hbomber videos have some kind of overgeneralization. It's his favorite cliche.
>takes a jab against gaming culture out of nowhere
Way to miss the point of the entire video. His point is that the comic is an accurate reflection of gamer culture, and if you see that as a jab then you should do some self examination.
It really fricking isn’t. Women are just overly sensitive and guys like him drag everything around them down
Gaslight, that’s the word I’m looking for. Hbombergay is talking all this shit about how gamer culture is this, that and the other thing over women, but if you look at games now you can see these particular women DID fricking ruin games, they WERE overreactive about criticism, and now everything is just lamer because they’re around shitting things up to preserve their own egos. And I won’t let a communist homosexual simp tell me how to feel about a woman that’s objectively shitty towards me.
>His point is that the comic is an accurate reflection of gamer culture
CAD wasn't though. In fact, one of the biggest things about Buckley is that he's a fake gamer who barely even plays games. I remember they found his Steam account in the old SA thread and he didn't even own most the games he made comics about.
If he's a gamer, then it's in the all-inclusive sense where everyone who plays video games -- whether that be casually or hardcore -- is a gamer. The soccer mom playing Candy Crush on her iPhone is a gamer. Hell, that mom probably plays games more often than Buckley.
But if that's the case, how is there even a gaming culture? Once you include everyone as a gamer, you lose any semblance of definitive culture. A soccer mom playing Candy Crush has very, very little in common with some Korean who plays League professionally. They both like games I guess, not even the same game or kind of game or style of playing the game or platform or so on. How is that a culture? And if you go back to "well I meant hardcore gamers only" again Buckley doesn't qualify.
I think he did a pretty good job explaining why the webcomic and why especially LOSS became as infamous as it is and at the very least, it showed me just how huge CAD really was with that convention that briefly existed.
>CAD is bad because gamer culture is bigoted
>CAD is an honest reflection of gamers
Frick this vid
And frick you for recommending it. Should’ve waited for the Magicmush video instead of a guy who sounds exactly like Movieblob and blue bear over here.
I should have know it was going to be shit when he joked about gaming web comics being all the same. How the frick can these commies get away with putting lectures in everything they do?
He really doesn't because he skips over so much of what happened that he paints an incomplete picture, and instead leaps to wild claims that are only supported when you cherrypick and filter information to the audience.
I could easily make the claim that Loss.jpg (not "LOSS") became infamous because gamers hate men, then cherrypick comments made about him and male video game characters and such to support this claim. Doesn't make it even remotely true.
That's a big problem with modern academics. They teach literary theory where you ignore all evidence contrary to whatever wild claim you're trying to make, and manipulate the facts to support your crazy claim, all with the excuse that you're "examining the work under a specific lens." How about taking a hard look at reality and the facts instead?
Guy views everything through a Marxist lens. It's even the top comment, by another Marxist. Now I suppose even a Marxist would be able to look at a train wreck like CAD with a measure of objectivity, but I've never known one to not go into some tangent based on ideology. More to the point, I don't think anyone who knows about CAD needs someone else to explain why it was bad.
Check out this Dobson documentary by MagicMush
I already have, that’s why I’m here
>t.magicmush
this is just what people's facial expressions look like if you're autistic. like demons in human skin
There’s plenty of demons with human skin out there
How old is he in that photo? Dude looks like he is already hitting 50.
30’s. Some believe he was born in 1980
He has an unhealthy obsession with a couple late 80s cartoons, so early 80s definitely.
he was born in 1981. he’s 42 now.
Jesus that smile is autistic
I know because I have the same expression
Dude, shave your beard and lose weight if that’s true
No I'm not overweight. I have a similar smile to him
Try moving your cheekbone muscles up so your smile looks less lifeless then
Hey now, no autistic person has ever done anything deserving of being compared to this fedora tipping, white knighting, no desire to improve himself, neckbeard.
It never was. The problem was his adamant refusal to grow, to develop to get better and hone his craft. He has the skill he's just lazy and wastes it on nonsense and as a result it deteriorates. He's worse than bad.
He should stick to animals, they look way better than his people, even if they're still ugly.
Some of his college stuff was good, but who knows how much was teacher influence, friends, etc.
The art was never bad, just his pandering behavior.
It was never his raw skill. It was his laziness and oversight. In your OP pic, the Dobbo bear has 4 fingers on one hand and 5 on the other in the last panel. He does this so fricking often.
Can't unsee.
Give it up OP. Just let him go. Obsessing over lolcows of the past isn't good for you or your fellow kiwifarms transplants. These threads are the same stories and speculation over and over again.
Unironically it wasn't. It wasn't good, nothing I or anyone with two brain cells would pay him to draw something, but enough to post on deviantart and get decent pageviews.
His art isn't bad but it definitely has issues. Worst part is that he's clearly stagnated a ton because he doesn't like critique or whatever, and that's honestly a damn shame
Well yeah it was ok. Dobson's issue wasn't "bad art", it was he looked at it and said "YEAH I CAN TAKE THIS SHIT TO WALT DISNEY CORP AND ACE A JOB, NO PROBLEM!", with a straight, stupid face.
He had a lot of raw talent. Its truly a shame his laziness and autism prevented him from improving, or creating anything anyone else was interested in seeing
I think he made a some okay stuff but this comic in particular is full of all kinds of errors lol
Is he a bad person? Does he deserve all the hate we fling at him?
Does he deserve it? Absolutely not!
Did he react like a absolute stupid fricking autist about all the ridicule that came his way? Absolutely!
Somehow dweebish nerds like him are the most arrogant and spiteful motherfrickers you can meet.
Had a friend much like Dobson for the last 20 years, he effectively ended our friendship when I told him to shower once in a while when his stench got so bad people in the subway were moving away from where we were standing.
Inability to deal with criticism without melting down is such a overlooked narcissistic personality trait of turbonerds.
He's not a bad guy necessarily, just an autistic guy who was never given any tools to navigate it. He dismissed any criticism as bullying and desperately scrambled any time he tried to be normal and fricked it up. He has weird fetishes but that doesn't make him a bad guy, just a shameless pervert
>the huge butthole who likes to feel superior to others isnt a bad guy, guise!!!
Quiet you Black person, thats basically the definition of a bad guy. Dobson is a terrible person or he wouldnt have become a lolcow to begin with. Good, harmless people never become such.
Also his fetish is popping you moron, hes basically into guro. And yes, being a degenerate does make someone bad inherently.
No but he is unparalleled shit at coloring.
I've seen worse. He's just sort of unremarkable and mid at it.
>Now that the dust has settled I think that we can all agree that Dobsons
Stopped reading right there. People who are not self aware enough to critique their work proper or accept actual criticism when a creator should be open minded on all things. He is a fraud of an artist and has no moral or ethical value in the field.
>Stopped reading right there.
Stopped reading right there. I hate that cliche so much and I will not entertain your opinion.
I hate the way he does faces and bodies. Anime-inspired with ugly, western sensibilities
>webcomic is focused on dialog
Instantly shit
You mean monologue
But it is that bad, just terrible, unpleasant to look at.
it's not terrible but it's extremely mediocre and refused to get better or at least did so very gradually.
hell, even while it's funny bringing up his inflation fetish art, it wouldn't be as relevant if he didn't have such an attitude. better artists have drawn worse stuff. he just kept inviting people to throw his fetish stuff back at him like tomatoes he fermented himself.
He (or a family lawyer) used to be a mod here. Threads even tangentially touching on the Son of Dob got deleted in a hearbeat. Given that these threads actually stay up now must mean that the danger has passed.
In other words, might we see him again? Coming soon, to a website near you?
I don't think anyone ever disagreed on that. Dobson's comics were kind of like The Room. Everyone says The Room is the worst movie ever, but they're wrong. There are shitloads of weird vanity projects made by people with zero knowledge about film that are worse than The Room. One of the more well known films worse than The Room is Damnation Alley. That's the one with the weird off-road vehicle, and known only for that. It was an excuse for people to drive that thing around the desert, and it's pretty much a collection of bad scenes strung together without plot. But The Room is in the Uncanny Valley. It does enough right to be a fully realized film while putting on display how poorly it does it. It has a plot, clearly defined characters, attempts at acting, real sets, etc.
Dobson is The Room of comics. He can draw in a decent cartoonish style, but he uses it exclusively to have his author insert mug at the viewer. He can draw Amerimanga style action comics, but puts in zero effort to make it look good. Compare the covers of his action comics to the comics themselves. His covers are good. If he put that effort into the panels people would say he's a good artist. But then it's just all side perspective stuff without backgrounds. Even in OP's comic Dobson just doesn't do backgrounds. How hard would it have been to just draw a simple dojo background for those 4 panels? Not at all. But he didn't do it.
He had a trick for backgrounds.
I actually struggle with backgrounds.
I think I'm just insecure about it because I actually practiced both drawing from reference and stylizing them using lines to represent textures instead of doing a 1 to 1 drawing
A video actually about Tim Buckley would be pretty good. Hbomberguy and others focus mainly on loss.jpg. Thing is there's a lot more you can talk about when it comes to Buckley beyond loss.jpg. "Tim Buckley: Beyond Loss.jpg." There's your title, Magicmush. Make it happen.
>tim buckley: loss but not forgotten
Even better title right there.
You can tell no one does any further reasearch into tim beyond loss.jpg because no one talks about his console wars comic which is kino
a lot of people seem to forget this gem
I was never in the Scott Pilgrim fandom so this is how I was introduced to Anamanaguchi. I have Bum Tickley to thank.
Remember when Tim Buckley needed to make a new goth girl character for his webcomic, so he went on Google Images, looked up "goth girl," and just blatantly copied the first image he found?
This is why Tim Buckley deserves his own video beyond loss.jpg.
See that's another case where Buckley seemed like a big deal back in the past but his actions are almost nothing now.
Artists referencing the first image from google has become such a big issue that a bunch of tutorials and lessons on how to reference have to specifically tell people NOT to just use the first page of google images.
Wait until eveyone's referencing Bing AI.
>get a commission
>type up a prompt
>ai spits out results
>trace results, correcting errors and adding your own stylistic signature to it
The perfect crime.
If you're moronic enough to trace an ai image you do not have the foresight to actually "correct errors and add your own stylistic signature to it". Shexyo literally caught shit for that because people could immediately tell.
There's a difference between referencing something and straight up stealing its design for a reoccurring character in your webcomic series who you hope to sell merchandise of.
I guarantee if I had a webcomic and introduced a character who looked exactly like Donald Duck except drawn by me, and I started putting him on t-shirts and shit, I'd get a DMCA from Disney telling me to cut that shit out.
Anon, that's literally Arna Anka. And yeah the author got legal issues with Disney at one point, but everyone thought Disney were wieners about it, and the comic was extremely popular in general.
Or Howard the Duck, for that matter.
>but everyone thought Disney were wieners about it
Because it's Disney. You have the big guy going after the little guy, so people are going to side with the little guy.
In Buckley's case, people didn't side with him because he was ripping off an even smaller time artist. Also because he's Buckley.
Remember how he used to have his own convention because Penny Arcade has PAX so he had to have Digital Overload, which was mostly just him trying to sell off those terrible Sumo bean bag chairs.
Apparently it went on from 2005 until 2011. That's not a terrible run. The site for it is now some blog news site that looks to be made by ChatGPT.
And looking up stuff on the last Digital Overload in 2011 reminded me that he at one point tried to make a board game. It doesn't seem this board game was ever released, but it does say they played it at DO 2011 and here's some cards from it he posted instead of that day's comic.
AdventureQuest World did a Winter-een-mas event in 2011 as well. Remember AdventureQuest? Remember Winter-een-mas? Well you could get an "Awesomesauce Scepter" in the game if you did this event.
2011 seems to be the high point for CAD and Buckley. Kind of seems like he dropped off after 2011.
>Description: A Scepter so epic that only the video game gods may hope to wield. Happy Winter-een-mas!
There's also an "Epic Sword of Epicness."
Oh. So this is how most of /ic/ learned to critique.
He's a good enough artist to get his ideas across visually, his biggest problem is just that those ideas suck ass
I'm 80% sure I bought one of his books from a book fair when I was a kid but the timeline doesn't seem to add up so it may have just been someone with a style he cribbed.
It wasn't bad, but wasn't great.
He just took himself way too seriously and has no tact or charisma. The narcissism compounded it.
It really wasn't I was mostly surprised by how good his traditional animation skills were.
There are Dobson animations?
Yep. See
The sad thing is that if he was just a bit better he probably could've gotten a job in TV animation based off his pencil line art alone, at least in the early 2000's when his art would've been somewhat promising to older TV animation people.
His inking and coloring are very amateur, but if he had managed to get a storyboarding job he probably could've improved and gotten better experience.
A lot of animation artists from the 70's-90's weren't THAT good at making finished art(this is Tom Ruegger's art, its ok but the coloring is gradeschooler tier.), pre digital it was a lot harder/more expensive to ink/ color with pro-tools, and given how artists treated it like a job a lot of them just focused on doing penciled storyboards and more rudimentary model sheets.
In all honesty, the art world is full of people like Dobson. Somewhat talented and can draw, but they lack the motivation and drive to evolve their art and actually do anything with it. Dobson could have done a lot with his art, especially given his education. He instead chose to the lazy route of farting out a webcomic whenever he felt like it while not only refusing to improve but actively fighting against improving.
And honestly, that's not even the worst route to go. I know guys who just stop illustrating pretty much all together and use their expensive art degrees to get jobs as janitors. So as lazy as Dobson was, as quick as he was to give up on his dream of being an animator and settle for webcomics, he at least kept illustrating.
And I don't even mean to shit on webcomics, as they can be a path to success, especially if your comic becomes popular on sites like reddit, twitter, and facebook. Hell, I saw some people post Dobson's comics on facebook back in the day, including pic related.
But the issue there is that whatever success Dobson found he immediately chased away by being so combative and argumentative. Imagine you see a Dobson comic for the first time and you hey that's funny that's kind of relatable, then you go check him out and he's telling people to off themselves because they disagreed with them. I'm sorry, but that kind of personality pushes more people away than it draws in unless you're trying to be like a professional wrestler or something.
I can't even imagine trying to work with the guy. Brentalfloss had him hired to do a webcomic for him and kept him at arm's length during the whole thing, eventually cutting ties with the guy altogether when that comic was brought to a close, never to mention him again. He was invited into Fresh Epics, did a collab with them, did a convention, and then again all ties cut. He made no friends or business associates from that. Made no friends at art school. Hell, did he have any friends at all?
God that was long winded. Also forgot to post the webcomic is saw on facebook back in the day.
But ultimately, you can talk about could'ves and should'ves but the reality is that Dobson squandered his opportunities in various ways. And now he has a dead webcomic.
>Send Request
Dude went to school with Aran Ryan
Shit, no wonder. He was probably going to give him a huge lump sum to make up for it, but blue boy being the bitter gay he is rebuked him.
>Send request
I had some shithead apologize to me online a month after graduation from high school. Said sure whatever, and always wondered if he almost died or something and saw hell.

Sadly, the famous skyrim video is gone. It was funny how he played it like 15fps, was talking about bullying until sudden bandit attacked him. Gave out deep sigh
No, he was really weird.
The /ic/ complaint is very ironic.
Yo where's the loss edit where the 3rd panel of Dobson is shown smugly looking at tim's girlfriend in the bed? That shit made me lol.
D-O-B-S-O-N
He's the big blue bear that loves inflation
It's DOBSON!
OH OH IT'S DOBSON!
Bullies alone without their nerd. ‘Haha let’s see what homosexual is doing today *stares at blank screen* ….sigh’
cool post. very based. you sure called out random anonymous people on an anonymous imageboard. they sure got egg on their face
looks like he struck a nerve
guess so
The Phineas and Ferb episode where Buford and Balijeet sing about missing each other was spot on:
I found this pic he made of his art "progressing" from 2000-2009.The earliest stuff was second-rate faux anime style, but in the mid-late 2000s his art was genuinely good, maybe even great. Then funnily enough (I'm guessing after he left college) in the last couple years he started to regress again.
Honestly he’s just no fun. He has a baby’s idea of what’s interesting, dude never evolved past a 9-year old living in the 1980s. You can see it here too
, he really doesn’t understand much besides Keebler elves, Dummi Bears, and DiC cartoons. Even his attempt at edgy TMNT is false and misses the point, the grim faces are for fighting shit like ninjas in the dark, copying the iconic action faces and putting them near a pizza just isn’t enough. There is no sense of maturity or danger or excitement to anything he does, he’s not just childish, he’s actually disturbing and arrested in development.It’s almost hard to describe
>Offmodel bender
How?
Wait... How old is Dobson again?
He's only 42?
I would have assumed he was 40 15 years ago wtf?
Why did he draw himself as a grandpa bear?
He went bald in his 20s but drew himself as a skinny guy with lots of hair
People made fun of him for not drawing himself how he actually looks
So he started drawing himself as a bear to own his critics or some shit that only made sense in his mind
He really thought of himself as a Miyazaki of DeviantArt didn't he?
Hitler was a better artist than Rebecca Sugar
Dobson I could draw incredibly well, the problem was that he refused to draw anything other than "learn to draw manga" art style...Probably out of spite critics or just laziness
Hmmm.
I saw this without evidence, but I somehow feel that Dobson would have been not only an adopter, but a fanatic enthusiast for the bean mouth style if he had gotten his start today.
Who the frick keeps bringing up Dobson? I bet it’s Dobson.
MagicMush brought him up this time.
Who?
oh, he wasn't an abysmal artist, mostly just an abysmal person.
Plus his art is fun to edit and make fun of
>pic
I to get that weird taste in my mouth when the meds kick in
He had weird opinions and a personality that made it fun to poke at him, it isn't more complicated than that. However he is right that the people who critiqued his art or career and acted like concerned parents for him were fricking weird.
So what was Dobson's last known post on the internet?
That Facebook comic he was making. The one with the niggress lesbian.
You morons need to move on. You're as bad as Chris Chans circus seals if not worse.
No there was nothing bad about it
but that's not what we think about him for, so who cares
his art is generic mid 2000s OC webcomic stuff. the real problem was his writing
>constantly threw raging fits about video games doing "sexist crap"
>adored and worshiped Metroid Other M because "It gave Samus a personality!"
>that personality being a sniveling mewling moron who worships a man that treats her like shit because she's desperate for daddy's approval, seriously every other monologue she has is sucking Adam's dick, and she and you the player accomplish absolutely nothing in the entire game
So now Samus is and always has been the stoic badass bounty hunter she’s meant to be.
I feel like there were traces of her admiration to Adam in fusion, but as a more appropriate father-surrogate kind
All she said about him in Fusion was he was her commanding officer and "the perfect military mind". There really was no point for Other M's existence, it either retcons or ignores every other game in the franchise and is basically "Remember Samus' ship computer? Here's how he became that. LOVE HIM!!!".
I see. Well if there really was no point for Other M's existence then it doesn’t exist in the canon and that’s that. Dobson’s worthless opinions be damned
Every game after MOM pretends it doesn't exist, which is good.
Kek. Who wrote it anyway? I bet it was a fricking westerner.
>1 year older than CWC
Wow
Sakamoto. The co-creator of Metroid.
It's pretty aggressively non-western and goes heavily against typical western ideas of what "strong women" are, so I'm not sure why you'd think that. As
says, it's really weird Dobson liked it so much when he's constantly throwing fits over the kind of stuff it did.
Maybe he gets off to it somehow.
I’m surprised. Well, no one is perfect, but I can’t believe I thought a westerner wrote it when it’s so antiwest.
Sakamoto made Samus what he liked, and thought Japan would like the game more that way. Metroid is like Sonic, it's way more popular outside of Japan. Unfortunately he made a game that everyone hated.
Lol, I bet he regrets it to this day. Did Japan even like it?
No, but Japan didn't like the earlier games either. Trying to make the series catch on in the actual country that makes it isn't a bad thing though.
I cannot even begin to comprehend that. It’s like saying Spaghetti is beloved everywhere except in Italy.
Disney comics are popular pretty much everywhere other than America.
That’s disgusting
looking at his actual behavior, it's pretty obvious that dobsons constant preaching leftist talking points was always nothing but hollow virtue signaling. he parrots these things because he wants to be perceives as being a progressive and good person, but takes none of it to actual heart. He wanted his lesbian fetishism to be seen as a virtue rather than just something that makes his pp hard.
he could draw if he took the time and put in the effort
he never did either of those, though
The problem wasn't that his art was bad the problem was he both didn't improve said art or take any valid critics from anyone on it to thusly improve.
I wonder if he's still obsessed of this show and splatoon. His pre disappearence art was pretty bad, especially those weird faces
He was stagnant since 2002. That’s the sad part, he is rotten.
I’m happy his action made his brother lose his chance at a classified government job. He’s pushing 40 yet he hasn’t moved since college.
Short term gratification of chasing clout got him nowhere. He really is starting from zero now.
This guy really sucked, yeah. The thing is, he learned to shut the frick up, and hasn't posted in ages.
Between these and the 'deviantart/cringe' threads, It feels like the only people who still care about this kind of shit are hyper-autists themselves.
A few years ago, when pointing out weirdos was the norm, I would've understood, but nowadays, I can't help but feel like you've committed all of this useless trivia to memory for far too long. Either that, or parroting weird internet documentaries. That's not 'normal'. That's autism, just like Dobson. You're not superior to him if he's rent-free in your head.
.
Please learn to let go. Not even just him, but the whole 'lolcow' thing in general. Obsessing over these freaks won't make you any less of one yourselves.
He vanished because unlike CWC, Boogie, Wings, DSP and many others he wasn't monetizing from his haters.
I heard that DSP was one of the highest earning streamers out there and has the AUDACITY to gamble it away on jpegs of sweaty men
The King of Hate earn that right
It was a mistake on my part. I thought he was going to have something interesting to say because of his Sherlock video, but it’s just more gaslighting and projection that the left is adept at using. I unfortunately also enjoyed some Jack saint vids until he became completely insufferable himself.
I think his video about Skyhigh was his best because it’s not only about Skyhigh, but why hierarchy exists and ironically persuades people into buying them.
It wasn't bad, it was horrendous
define horrendous, senpai-kun.
Controversy felt forced, maybe it's just early internet but the things he did barely anything unique
He's a lolcow not cause he's uniquely bad, but cause he was super easy to milk via trolling. Doesn't help that he puts on the act of being a poor defenseless artist instead of just being truthful and admitting he was a jackass who flung as much shit as he was given
>respecting women
>having basic human empathy
>gets off on lesbians blowing up
I hate commies so much
it's so weird to me that this is considered "early internet" now. If anything it's the early days of modern internet where you could expect instant responses- which is part of the reason poking Dobson got so popular. Truly early internet was stuff like sites Something awful or Fark would find where the only real interaction was forums that would maybe get 3-10 posts a day.
Dobson was neither the worst person nor worst artist on the internet, but a combination of an inflated ego and social moronation made Dobson an easy target. He had an incessant need to "prove" himself by responding to trolls via his comic, not to mention his habit of posting transparent sob stories on social media without realizing how pathetic they made him look.
In many ways, Dobson was the perfect lolcow, only matched by the likes of CWC. He just kept coming back for more.
The fact that he actually wised up and left the internet, regardless of what the circumstances may have been, is the most surprising thing of all.
Honestly, I think he killed himself. The failure of his Patreon seemed like it legit broke him.
Pretty sure if he killed himself the stalkers over at kiwifarm would have dug up the orbituary or some shit.
Maybe his patreon did break him but he decided to give up on the internet completely, maybe also thanks to family intervention since I heard his infamousness was causing problems to his brother. Maybe his patreon was his last shot at proving he could make something profitable, and he couldn't.
wasn't it because his death threats he sent to people published all over the 'net barred his brother from becoming a lawyer/attorney?
>Death threats
What were they?
>wised up
We know the real reason anon. He kept poking the hornets nest of moron trolls then started to stand up to his twitter rabids and didn't realize the black hoody patrol likes to dox over petty arguments and probably called his parents a bunch and they gave him the ultimatum.
>Honestly, I think he killed himself. The failure of his Patreon seemed like it legit broke him.
Nah. He was caught a few years ago commenting on some Nintendo e-Celeb's youtube page under an alt. He quickly ditched the alt the moment people noticed.
How did they figure out it was him?
The account name was "TomPreston6" and was created in 2006. It seemed like Dobson just logged into an old Google account without realizing it was tied to one of his old Youtube accounts and made some comments under it without noticing.
Even then, his ego is too much that he can't even sockpuppet without using his name or keeping it attached to his other stuff.
If he came back, he won't make it subtle.

How do you not color like Dobson?
Don't use the full bucket for literally everything.
Dobson was poor man's Rumiko: it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. You expect him to improve his art over the years, but he remained the same from 2005 to 2019, which is quite impressive. He didn't take constructive criticism from anyone, he even dropped a nice arts college due to it.
The Internet has many bad and mediocre artists, but we all know Dobson because he was an ass. Simply as that.
It's ugly art. Leftoids can't draw.
