Alex looks like a man. I'm not really sure what it is, though. I mean, she always looked masculine to begin with, but he just keeps drawing her more and more masculine, to his most current work.

I think it's the nose. It looks like something someone trying to impersonate Chris Sander's would do with all the no-nos applied to it. In fact that's true for all three characters.

I think the fact that the tits aren't in the pic may also be an issue.

If I'm remembering correctly, Alex being mistaken for a man was one of AzP's running gags, so Dobson's current artistic deterioration can at least make that a little bit more believable (but still not funny).

But that was supposed to be because of a witch's curse or some shit. Dobbers assured us over and over in the walls of explanatory text that Alex really didn't look like a man (even though she looks like Archie fucking Andrews in drag).

That cartoon is shit even by Dob's hideously low standards.
 
Oh noes!, if a pixelated animal which doesn't exists gets "hurt" (somehow?) it'll trigger his PSTD. Seriously, it's like feeling bad for a gremlin getting kicked in the nuts or a dragon getting stabbed, it's just CGI, they don't exist, they don't have feelings, it's just a bunch of colorful dots known as pixels.

Also this:
Looks like he wants a medal for actually working. Here you go Dobson:

Nah. Alex looks more feminine now. In the beginning she was flat-chested, which made the "looks like a man!" gag sort of believable, but then Dobson gave her tits.
 
He was doing the same whine about animals being faked hurt/killed in the Netflix Daredevil series, but then dropped it because it's dah best and there's going to be a Jessica Jones show.

If potential fap material is equal to or greater than fake injuries and deaths to animals, Dobby is a-OK with it.

I think she also wore some big-ass pirate coat too didn't she? (so if anything even originality has somehow regressed if I'm right)

I think the bigger problem with the kiss pic may be that Alex looks like she's got a hole in her neck and the shoulder-blades don't actually match up with the shoulders. Points for learning about line variation a little but that's all I'm gonna give.

EDIT: Regarding styles that might suit better, hilariously enough, trying to imitate 2D Disney would probably work out well enough for him. I mean unlike the one suggested before there's room for things like definition in terms of anatomy but at the same time it doesn't take an Andrew Loomis to draw the style of bodies well enough. It's not like he had much originality to begin with.
 
Does Dobby even read comics? I quit reading them 5 or so years ago, but I feel like I have more of an understanding of them still than he does. He only seems to mention popular characters, and even then he doesn't seem to fully grasp them. I feel like he just reads a website or something, to keep up with the most basic story line.

Putting my distaste for the blue bear aside, and looking at this work purely as a fellow cartoonist,
I think it is basically OK. There are indeed mistakes, such as the shoulders, and proportions, etc.
This toon's level of quality would probably pass muster in a newspaper gag strip...Perhaps.

The main problem I have been able to discern with Dobbo is that he cannot do "cute". He has never
picked up on the simplification of detail, which makes characters look appealing. Instead he overworks
the art, and draws a face structure that veers into ugly at times. His squid-girl springs to mind...She is
meant to look tomboyish and cute, but Dobbo draws her looking somewhat angry and unpleasant.

tl;dr = Andrew, please go study some Preston Blair and Bruce Timm.

From reading his Twitter I think he only gleans things through his various SJW friends and comes to conclusions like "These characters would be better if they were lesbians".
 
Someone mentioned before his style looks like one of those "Draw Cartoons" books. I'd have to agree. And yeah, Curt brings up an interesting point. As a cartoonist, Dobson never learned how to properly draw in a cartoonist style. I could be mistaken because hey I haven't much art practice but Dobson seems to be a living testament to "you can't break the rules if you don't know them." I've never seen Dobson attempt realism but I just know that it would be horrifying.
