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

[A Big Bumbling Black Man]

Ya know, my first reaction was that he heavily referenced it instead of outright traced it, but the more I look at it the less credit I can give him. It's remarkable how badly he manages to screw it up, still. Just compare the length and volume of the hair. Dobson somehow managed to make her look more like a young Doc Brown.

How do you manage to outright trace something and still fuck it up that bad?

How cute, Dobby finally figured out how to use textures and layers.

1983's Twice Upon a Time

Never seen it. Looks horrifying.

This one is actually pretty neat. There's a few things that he could have changed like draw the legs longer and more spindly, but I think this is one of the better pieces he's done on the virtue that he's done something very different and actually experimented. Also now I want to look up more about this weird-ass cartoon, so he gets a thumbs up from me.

That movie is worth tracking down if you like weird 70s/80s animation in the vein of Phantom Tollbooth and The Point, but leave it to Dobson to do an inktober piece that couldn’t possibly be done with pen & paper.

E: Also that crappy vhs rip above really sells it short, the entire thing is plastic cutouts on a lightbox and has a ton of weird scene layouts set up to benefit from that.

Holy shit, Dobson made something and my first reaction wasn't disgust and horror.

I haven’t watched the linked video, but I did immediately think of The Point from the thumbnail.

Never heard of this before, looks cool.

Dobson has to draw more than one thing that isn't overwhelmingly shitty before I'll say anything nice though.

Oh yes! It's like a game. How many places did Dibdob fuck up?
1. Whittaker's ear is not visible in the original -- her hair is almost falling into her eyes.
2. Whittaker is looking at something in front of her, not the "camera." So, eyeline fuckup.
3. Whittaker's eyebrows are located within normal proximity of her actual eyes. Oh, Dobby and those floating eyebrows! What a card!
4. Jawline is wrong.
5. Width of nose is... aw fuck it. *just finishes the bottle*

I just think it's very telling that where Whittaker's actual screen cap is overlaid with the drawing, she looks like the Joker.

I think what Dobson does is to trace very basic outlines and placements for, say, the facial features, then draws in the rest of the details himself.
If he does, I assume that he lies to himself that it's not really a trace if he just uses it this way, since tracing would be "like, tracing the whole thing, right?" So he just does it partially "to get the details correct" and then draws the rest in his shoddy fashion.
And the moment he alters a detail (like changing the smile or the position of the eyebrows to go for a different expression), he just fucks it all up.

No, Dobson, just no. Cutouts do NOT qualify as "inktober":

apparently this thing is from "Twice Upon A Time" which is from 1983 (The film uses a form of cutout animation which the filmmakers called "Lumage", involving prefabricated cut-out plastic pieces that the animators moved on a light table.)

Dobson fucked it up so badly I thought at first it was an extremely error-filled Mr. Peabody from Mr. Peabody and Sherman:

Dobson incorrectly gave Ralph floppy ears. Ralph does not have floppy ears.

Which is why referencing would be the better way to go. He'd still be complete crap, but he wouldn't be as lazy.

I think everybody would agree this edit is past due:

My favorite example of Dob's NPCism is when someone asked him why he thinks Apu is racist and he couldn't provide any kind of answer and just screamed at them to watch the problem with Apu.

Which accurately describes his reaction to explaining any of his supposed beliefs. Sometimes he remembers the excuse a lot of other NPCs use, "It's not my job to educate you", but more often he just goes "Uh, it's obvious, duh!" until he blocks whoever.

Does Dobson only see Inktober as color everything in black and white? Because that's not what it REALLY is. The base concept is to use a monochromatic ink to test your skills and how you might have some limitations, but despite that you can pull off great art.

This is probably the best one do far and I give him credit for choosing a character that's probably not well know, but I still feel this is cheating a bit because it's just simple cut out shapes made in black and white.

They aren't even THAT interesting per se. There'd barely any shadow and the posing is bland. How much do you want to bet he drew some random shapes, used the clipping tool, added some basic paper shadows and called it a day?

 

[AprilRains]

Yeah, but I didn't even want to punch my screen this time.
