His linework has more texture and variation in his Inktober stuff, but only barely. Someone else said this before in the thread, but it seems like he's enjoying himself a little more with the Inktober sketches, where with his normal stuff he may be thinking about what all his "trolls" will say and just angrily doing things "his way."

She has the same kind of tumors as arms than Popeye.

I think it's more that, he drew the hands and spent a great deal of time and then very lazily connected them to the torso. If he had taken 30 seconds to define her wrists it'd of been nicer.

i believe he chose to depict her as the cartoon show version which as one can see, has those arm types.

Ah yes, this is the version of the characters he grew up with --> therefore, are the truest, most canon version despite the fact that these are woefully off model, bastardized American versions made by DiC Animation in 1989 , so when Nintendo "redesigned" them that was an affront to Dobson's eyes, despite the fact that back in 1986 there was already an animated version in Japan where the character look very much as we know them today:
But don't ever try to tell Dobson otherwise or he'll be triggered for ever questioning his "head-canon"

Really, I just don't think digital art is something that agrees with him at all. Several people (pretty sure that includes me) have mentioned his sketches looking alright. That or adding too much detail (aka the wrinkles and such). There was that one Star Vs... pic and a Spider Gwen that did away with a lot of the awkward details and felt a fair bit better for them IIRC.
Of course if he ever listened to anyone else besides Wu-sempai, he could have noticed and ironed out most of those flaws by now.

To be frank, the Star vs. pic had a few other flaws. Mostly that Star looked more like Helga Pataki than herself.
Just compare the original...
to Dobson's.
Eyebrows too big, nose too detailed, unnecessary ponytail, squid on dress is missing, skirt too long, head and eyes too small and again that stupid bear. Sorry Dobbear, but Star is not going to marry you.

True, but knowing Star Butterfly, her expression if she was going to kill Dobbear should be closer to the face of Itchy when he is going to teach Scratchy with a chainsaw how dividing works.

I... uhhh... honestly, it's really asking a bit much to think that an artist has to replicate exactly the art style of the source material. There are a lot of unique designs and whatnot so whenever fanart is made it's almost a given that sometimes the given interpretations are radically different from the actual design. I mean, for example:
The idea of fanart is that it's an interpretation of the source material from another artist. If you wanted to criticize maybe the flat colors or something that'd be perfectly fine since it's a given Dobson fallacy since he first started drawing, but saying that Dobson is terrible because he isn't drawing like the artist of the original pic is... well... silly.
... Dobson's fursona still looks dumb though.

I agree!
However I needed to look at Dobsons picture for a couple of seconds, before I understood that the person on the left is not a guy dressing up as this 'schoolgirl with the wand', but instead she is supposed to be the girl itself.

True, but most good fanart manages to capture the essence of what the character would normally convey between art styles.
Like this is the original of a certain NGE character

and that is a fanart

Dobson's interpretation of Star on the other hand makes the character somehow look closer to that character

while ironically something in the art choice and linework of his bearsona in the picture actually comes closer to what the show conveys in style. If it wasn't for the wand, "Marco Bear" and the pics title, I would have even had problems getting which show the character was supposed to be from.

Looks like Miller isn't the only cartoonist Dobson hates.

If it turns out he hates Don Rosa to, the gloves are off.
