He's definitely out there but it's still funny that while he believes people are obsessed with him, they are so obsessed nobody cares much about actually trying to find him at all
Well, this thread is active after more than a year of him vanishing, so there's that.
But admittedly, this thread is more about people sitting around a fire and sharing Hat Andy stories and remembering the good times. Like when he was sprayed with water at a con and thought it was piss, cause the water mixed with his sweat and gave off a weird smell. Best part, he was actually dumb enough to share that last bit of info on his social media.
Dobbo, you read these threads so, hey, do anything you need for as long as you need to.
Funny thing about this: Either he doesn't read it and there is nothing lost -or- he does read it and he's freaked out and annoyed.
It's like saying "I know perfectly well that you're listening in on me" in an empty room. Either no one will ever know or you'll freak out whoever is eavesdropping.
obvious refusal to use a reference
Dobson is really weird how he refused to use references on one hand, but will happily trace art and photos. Like the last comic you linked, the image of Rey is so obviously traced from a photo.
The thing about that picard image that really slays me though:
He so obviously used a photo to trace his """art""", yet the finished product looks N O T H I N G like Patrick Stewart.
The shadow on the jawline, the position of the ear and right eye, the dome of the head, the left shoulder, all of this is a perfect fit.
There is NO doubt about him tracing or not.
Yet he fucked up so badly in so many other areas: The chin, the neck, the right shoulder, the left eye, the nose... For some odd reason he mirrored the original image, I sincerely hope that wasn't his attempt to hide the fact he traced it... cause that half-assed attempt at subterfuge would just be sad.
Hank Hill is also a weird tale. He traced the head regularly, but he made the body a lot shorter than the original by squashing it shorter than it was.
Have another instance of him tracing:
An Artwortk depicting a house from Skyrim... with an actual screenshot overlayed. Well gee.
It's pretty obvious that he used a similar screenshot to the one I found online. I had to fiddle around with the aspect ratio of the screenshot to make it fit, but once it fit, every shingle, every rock, every tuft of moss, every step, every stone, every beam lined up almost perfectly. The weird thing about that image is that the sightlines are wonky as fuck. It's the easiest part of the whole process and he fucked it up.
