I originally posted this in Personal Lolcows, and the general reception was positive enough to where I can feel comfortable with posting this as its own thread and not shit up this site's bandwidth.
So Newgrounds is a pretty big cesspool by internet standards. The userbase is rife with all sorts of interesting and amazing people; you got your weebs, spergs, furries, so on and so forth. It's also recently become home to more and more people who refuse to leave their personal bubbles ala Tumblr. One such person popped into my radar today.
The fellow's name is Zandolaf, and boy did I not expect the level of exceptionalism from this guy.
Where do I begin with this? Oh, I can point out his hypocrisy when it comes to his art. The guy's quality reminds me a bit of ol' Dobson, in that he regularly claims to be improving and claims to be very good at what he does. He even claims himself a god of it, not joking. However, even a layman like me at art can tell his understanding of anatomy is worse than his grip on what the word "abstract" means.
He also claims to genuinely care about his art, which is rather funny. Why?
Yeah, he cares so much about his craft that he's lazily recolored his own stuff as new content several times, changing almost nothing in between and selling it off as a different piece. Lovely.
It should also be noted that he does commissions, where he charges a tenner for just line art and the like. This wouldn't be much of a topic of interest, barring two things about it: the first is that he regularly blames stress on not completing commissions (sound familiar
), and two... well:
He's also a hypocrite, which I think is almost a requirement at this point. He regularly decries critiquing, but then when he gets hit with flak, he'll try to strike back.
This was done in response to said person writing up a review on one of his art pieces, in fact the one I showed off in this very post.
He'll also try to apologize to people and front a "live and let live attitude" sort of thing, but then go into fits like these:
He "apologizes"
He "wants to bury the hatchet"
Muh Haters
And remember how I stated he was like ol' Dobbo the Bear? I wasn't kidding: he likes to delete comments that are negative from his blog. He'll also do the same to posts when he tards out or gets spooked, so keep your gyazo going strong.
Note how it's the same post with different comments? NG doesn't allow you to remove comments yourself, but the author can. At least last I checked. NG's a bit quirky and out of date at times.
One last bit I can recall right now is how he has begged for stuff more than once. Of particular note is his refusal to get a job:
Extras:
He really doesn't care, honest
Like mapdark, he uses the same fucking name everywhere he goes (note the InkBunny Account)
He may have his own headmates/tulpas
His recent chimpout and his reuploading everything back
He deleted this post hilariously enough
A new, more perverted introduction
For more of this guy: here's an album.
