Reminds me of all those hate art you see of anime characters getting maimed; if it wasn't made by a troll, it was made by someone incredibly salty over the fact they aren't popular on deviantart (like Dobson but actually decent at drawing). Somehow, Dobson ends up being worse because he's so deluded into thinking his work can compare to iconic Western cartoons.Oh for fuck's sake.
Why did I look up Dobson and 'anime' on google?
Seriously, to those of you who were annoyed by Dobson making an image of something you love mixed with his shitty uncare-bear or his lackluster crossovers, I finally know that feel.
God fucking damnit... without further ado, I present to you:
And it even comes with an extra serving of condescending hypocrisy right from the Dob himself:
And again:
"Not to mention it’s corrupting a lot of great American cartoons by being so popular we feel the need to copy Anime so we can ride the fan-waves."
Since this artwork is from 2008 and Avatar (which drew heavily from anime) ran from 2005 to 2008, I'd say it had something to do with this art.
And 4 years later, he's sperging over "The Legend of Korra". What a clown.
But what really gets me is Doraemon being punched by Spot. Now, I know what it is like to have something you enjoy defiled by Dobson. Now I know the annoyance some people here expressed when Dobson made his shitty fanarts about some popular things.
I'm not even a huge fan of Doraemon, but I consider it to be a really smart, creative and funny comic... and Dobson feels a need to have his generic Frankenstein-abomination knock him out? For fuck's sake, Dobson, for fuck's sake.
I guess it's just some sort of powertrip fantasy. The alternative would be to assume Dobson thinks he can actually chastise anime like Naruto, Dragonball and Doreamon with his shitty Garfield-ripoff. So, it's Dobson's Mary Sues beating up things he doesn't like. And Dobson behaves like this accomplishes anything or like it's giving anime a well-deserved comeuppance. I can't even put into words how fucking pathetic that is. It's literally en par with the Sonichu Sub-Episodes where Chris showed himself getting "hog-timed" by "jerkops" and then beating them up with the help of his imaginary friends and magical superpowers.
And on a sidenote:
Lum gets her bra stolen by Peggy the pirate. Lum is one of Rumiko Takahashi's Characters, whereas Peggy is a blatant rip-off of Happosai (another popular character by Rumiko Takahashi). And Dobson has the gall to claim his characters were inspired by Disney, when most of them are rip-offs from everything but Disney. Smooth.
FYI, this was also made in a mythical era where his fans actually came to his defense.
EDIT: I noticed that he hid this from public view (like the Lesbian Kick comic) so I tried googling it to see how you found it and found this:

You know, just because I am critical of Anime and Manga devotion, doesn't mean that I hate Anime and Manga. You're looking at a guy who owns around 32 hand painted cels from his favorite Anime shows and movies, has a row of Anime/Manga action figures standing perfectly in a row on my shelf in front of my computer, and has a rather extensive Anime DVD collection and two bookshelves of Manga.
My criticism of Anime/Manga is less about the material itself, and more the common practice of style mimicry by my fellow artists. And even then, it's more that I am critical of it being used WRONG than the fact they're using it at all. I don't mind looking at Anime and Manga artwork, and I don't think it's wrong for people to MAKE Anime and Manga inspired artwork.
But I DO think it's wrong for people to copy the big eye'd style without understanding what goes into creating it, or how to use it properly. Too often when we're young we copy what we see first, and since Anime and Manga are so pervasive right now, a lot of young artists start by drawing big eyes, invisible noses, sharp chins, crazy hair, awkward snout side views, etc...without knowing WHY they're doing it. And to make sure we're entirely clear here, it's not just Anime and Manga that we do this to. When I was a kid I copied Disney and Garfield cartoon styles because that is what I was exposed to.
That's why life and figure drawing are so important. By understanding the basic underpinnings and gestural makeup of your artwork, you can abstract that into BETTER stylized works of art. Learning observation doesn't mean you have to abandon drawing in a Anime/Manga style for drawing in a realistic style... It simply means that you understand how anatomy and perspective and shading all work towards crafting a more believable illustration. Even highly abstracted characters like the Bones or Mickey Mouse have a basic underlying "structure" for how they're drawn, after all.
This is, pretty much, the reason why I started the latest Tenko storyline. While Tenko does draw in an Anime/Manga inspired style, the purpose of the comic isn't to bash Anime/Manga but to allow Tenko the ability to grow as an artist and realize that gesture drawing and observation can help him IMPROVE his artwork. It is not advocating that you abandon drawing Anime/Manga. It's advocating you learn the basic building blocks of drawing... something ALL art teachers will tell you.
And the younger you learn this, the easier it will be for you later. It's generally very hard to un-learn bad habits the older you get, which is why I set the storyline for such a young artist.
Now... having said all that. I DO NOT want to have discussions about the SYAC comic here. I've said before that I am going to have a journal made up for when the storyline ends where I will accept all feedback for it, good or bad. This is not the time to provide the feedback for it so please don't. I'm merely trying to address concerns brought up by a number of people who seem to have a wrongly formed view of why I'm doing this storyline and where it's going.
