Inactive Andrew Dobson / Tom Preston / CattyN - STOP DOING SEXIST CRAP

I think even Dobson can see what an ugly woman he would make. Chris at least can see himself as a thin and beautiful young lesbian, but Dobson is unfortunately smart enough to understand that he would still be fat, bald, old and hairy as a lady. Dobson didn't draw himself as thin and with a full head of hair because he thought he looked like that, but because he was ashamed of his appearance. So no tomgirl Dobby until he somehow becomes stupider or more delusional. Which is of course a real possibility.
 
YOU. ARE. A. MAN.

Dobson has officially become Chris at his most irritating.

Hey! I remember that show. It's 'Brother, Dear Brother' and the same lady who did 'Rose of Versailles' did it.

It's funny because Mariko (the girl pictured) not only hates men, but she's also super needy, desperately craves validation and is deeply fucked up in the head with her daddy issues. Pretty much the last person you'd pick to rally behind in the name of girl-power.
 
The sad bit is Dobson's tangled up so much of his entire damn identity in his process that criticism of either (art/identity) spills over to taint the other and he gets a double-blast of the sads. He entirely poisoned his own well ("I'm upset about something, time to draw a strawman version of events that'll show me triumphing over it, that'll make me feel better!"), but he's spent so long blaming all his problems on the things around him that he can't cope with a feedback loop that would separate the two. Hey, look at how well he handled his "haters" complimenting his Inktober stuff.

If the bear genuinely had a project he wanted to work on but knew/feared that all of us Kiwigators would dogpile on him like wolves from the fold (5 animal metaphors and counting), he could draw the stuff and upload it onto DA or tumblr or whatever *under a new identity* and actually accomplish this. He'd have a 'tabula rasa' to work with( Note 1) and while it would an exciting opportunity to create again without the risk of the haters, it would require him to do both of the following:

A. Toil away in practical anonymity: he won't have any fans to start with, so he would need to win people over based solely on his art/comic timing/whatever than any 'I'm someone you've heard of' interest. Given he's got a project to work on, however, and no immediate threat of trolls, he would be able to practice his craft without us destroying his confidence or discouraging him. Optimistic: his draftmanship skills might improve in such circumstances [or in the very least, they won't stagnate as he's practicing].

and

B. Leave all trappings of his old online 'personality' behind. No more gushing over cartoon lesbians, no more straw man onanism sessions, no more fighting all the dudebros on Twitter 160 valiant characters at a time; he'd quickly be recognised by any of these signs in a heartbeat and then the whole sorry process would begin again. Optimistic: if he was able to wean himself off his vicious cycle of online outrage and attempts to force the problematic to drink a flask of SJW piss, his brain might rewire itself to find enjoyment in things that weren't directly connected to the online humiliation of others.

Mastering both of these would mean he could build up a new fanbase on his own merits and possibly even create something amazing. And he might even one day throw off the mask and reveal to us all what he was able to artistically accomplish in spite of our previous actions. Optimistic: He would also have grown as a person and would be able to handle us potentially liking it, as opposed to the Inktober affair. Or even if we didn't like it, he could handle that as well.

You'll notice I've been using "Optimistic" a lot - this is because none of the above will ever happen. "Practice art and stop shitposting to online haters" is the one thing ***everyone*** has uniformly told him to do for what feels like five years or so and well.. THE RIDE NEVER ENDS.

(Note 1): For bonus points, make your new name an anagram of 'tabula rasa' like Burt Alasaa or Laura Sabat or something. Make the Riddler proud, man.

IIRC, someone actually suggested this to Dobson on Twitter during one of his many pity parties. His response was that it wouldn't work because he would just be recognized immediately. He's probably right, too - his "style" or whatever is very recognizable, especially because he always stubbornly makes the same mistakes. Besides, he already tried a different identity as CattyN, and we all know how that went down.

However, just because Dobby can see that something is a bad idea doesn't prevent him from doing it. During his DeviantArt days someone suggested that he could just leave, and he answered that it would be stupid as he would just leave his largest audience behind. Yet look at what he ended up doing anyway.
 
No amount of therapy and medication will help you work hard enough at a hobby in order to make a living off of it. The sole purpose of those is to help you function like a basic human being.

Everything else with art is willpower, marketability, charisma, and the occasional bout of being able to laugh at the imperfect sack of flesh you actually are. Some folks are happy that just one person will constantly retweet or reblog their stuff, even if the rest are just likes. It's a step in the right direction that just needs a bit of improvement here and there once you analyze the flaws to fix, and notice the parts that work and improve upon them.

Success is not magic. Hard work with a pinch of luck. Anyone with a brain and a sense of reality knows that.

With that said, I wanna know what the fuck triggered him this time around, holy crap! The last time I believe we even talked about his art was when I brought up my foggy memory regarding when he even last drew and posted anything.
 
Oh my fucking god...

Just...the amount of blaming ANYONE but yourself for your current situation, fucking hell.

You can't move on because you don't accept responsibility for your actions, you egotistical shit.
Well, gee, I guess behaving like an utter cunt for over a decade towards anyone who didn't kiss up to him and treating him like the next Walt Disney while making horrendeous, uninspired comics specifically meant to piss off others has taken quite a toll on his overall popularity!
Who would have thought?
Whenever he blabbers on about the haters and trolls I can't help but be amazed by the idiocy.
Dobson was never able to deal with criticism, ever. Yet he demands to be allowed to live in a bubble where negative comments can not enter. Even more so, he demands society as a whole to pander to his fragile ego. He doesn't want criticism to exist at all. The mere thought of it existing (even if he goes out of his way to not see it) is enough to break his feeble mind and mood.
And what did he do for years? Making comics that lash out aggressively at everyone and everything that Dobson disapproves of. For no goddamn reason other than Dobson being a useless twat that simply has to talk down to people.

And now, when after years of doing this, he's finally got to pay his dues, he starts crying bitch tears.
:story:

Well I can imagine it, this poor women being bullied by coworkers, talked down to by her boss, being treated miserably and underpaid, spending her break time crying powerlessly until she finally finds something to cheer her up, to give her some strength that makes life bearable again...
I can imagine her sitting on a table during lunch break, browsing through the catalogue of Dobson's art with a single tear of joy rolling down her cheek as she faintly whispers to herself "At least I'm not this asshole".
I guess that last part was just lost in translation.

Getting mad at Dobbo's hilarious howls of despair? It's a hoot.
It's times like these that I think I actually should feel bad for Dobson and his shitty situation, but then I remember his smug bullshit attitude, his uncalled-for douchenozzle moments and all I can do is smirk to myself that the great scales of Karma are slowly evening out.

Instead of making excuses, you lazy turd blossom, just draw. For someone with no sense of decency, you do like to portray yourself as a "nerd", but evidence shows how much of an arschgeige you are.
Dobson has repeatedly pointed out that unless he can use the art to garner validation, admiration and asspats, he sees no point in making it. That's why he's never practicing and why his art is never improving.

His video's again, are well edited and flow like good cinematography should, a better microphone and he could easily keep a new fanbase and work on a better platform.
Can't seem to find it, but many years ago, Dobson made a video about how animation works, different techniques and a bit of a "history of animation" video. It was genuinely interesting, informative and well made. So of course he never followed it up with anything else.

All he would have to do to throw people off would be releasing his comics un-inked und un-colored at first. If he worked out a style that uses the sketch-y look to its advantage, that might actually look rather good.
Also, avoiding floating eyebrows or carebears might help.
When you look at his sketches, they aren't too bad, so it might actually work out. He could still improve his art from there, eventually upgrading to an inked black-and-white look and then, when he has improved his coloring, too, he might release colored pages.
That way, he could start from scratch.

On a sidenote:
Found an AzP animation Dobson made, and despite the flaws, it's not that terrible, tbh.
The main issue is that at certain points, Alex just doesn't move at all, making it look too static - some sort of idle animation would have improved this a lot. But still it's one of the many instances where Dobson hints at what he might be capable of, if he only ever gave a fucking damn and put in some effort.
 
He does, he's just not a popular subject here like Dobson
https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aaron-diaz.4494/

There's a reason for that and it's a reason why absolutely nobody, ever, should feel a moment of pity for the scumbag that is Dobson. Diaz, someone who is ultimately no more inherently talented than Dobson and as much of an asshole, literally puts maybe one or two days a month of actual work in. As a result he's barely even a lolcow and makes a living wage.

Dobson's life is miserable and shitty, and he wants it that way.
 
Here's the thing, Dobby could work in animation, he's just too stubborn to do it. You have to be willing to work hard, take criticism and share a vision, all things Dobby is incapable of.
I personally don't think his original stuff is good enough that he'd ever be a content creator except in his spare time, but he could easily work in storyboard clean up or other tasks. But he thinks that's beneath him and so he goes.

Dobson can't stand effort. He wants it all without having to work for it.

There is a single yet fatal flaw in Dobson's understanding of what his art work ethic means and why his efforts will never bear fruit, in that one video where he sketches Link he drops a bomb at 16:40 that explains it all:


"I never really wanted art to be a serious thing for me."

The whole concept of being a professional artist is to take art with seriousness, it is a job, not a damn hobby!!

This is why Dobson has failed, he approached the very thing he studied in hopes to get a job in the industry as a plaything, a hobby he only wants to have fun with, failing to understand that anything worth of success is the result of hard work, persistence, passion and sacrifice. He actually had the mindset that he'll achieve success and laugh all the way there. No opposition, no roadblocks, no pressures, no problems along the way, just fun, fun, fun!

Whatever project he has in mind will remain that: a non-starter. Because Dobson only wants to do things so long as he is having fun, the moment he hits a rough patch he drops everything and gets "depressed" and starts blaming the "dang-dilty-twolls" for being unable to cope with work under pressure.

I wonder if the way he is has a lot to do with the way he was raised, must have been a hell of a lot of pampering and being kept in a bubble to turn out the way he did. Never taught how to function in the real world.

Urgh, why do we have game series like GTA when we could have an open world baby simulator!

Yeah, been noticing this a fair bit with Dobson's art post 2010 or so. It really feels like he's only approaching it from a "goofing around in the corner of a textbook" perspective.

Thing is though, you can have fun while taking your art seriously at the same time. Problem is that Dobson seems incapable of either legitimate joy. Or any form of seriousness aside from being "Super Duper Cereal" about minor shit and the GB remake.
