Do videos of Dobson drawing exist? I'm curious to see what his process is and I think those stick figures he did was an awful attempt at gesture drawing.

There was a video, but it's private now. Dobson made it in response to people calling him out on his Big Ben tracing.

Dobson also made some tutorials showcasing his "process".

I've seen those before. This was before his art turned into complete shit, inn'it?

Also those comments in his journal, good to see that the ass-patters existed in those "older times".
 

Those tutorials make me want to cry. The man has no idea how to paint in Photoshop. Some of his drawings actually look all right in the sketch phase. There's potential for a passable finished product, but then he colors the image and it highlights every single flaw while simultaneously heaping on new ones.

And I didn't know that Dobson was responsible for drawing the "official" Brentalfloss comic. That explains a few things.

Sorry if this is posted before (glanced through posts I miss and searched this thread got no results yet), but he made a journal about KorraSami again.

Not sure if this art is posted before though, but leaving it here
Dob has less followers on Twitter than Homer himself. Think of this as you will. (Dob: 960 Homer:1416)

Just some more misc. updates.

Few more tweets from him on Twitter:

And time for a good laugh. Comparison between Dob VS Homer's Twitter accounts.

"Take advantage of my generosity"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

no.

Why does he think he's being generous by shitting out subpar drawings? Yes Dobson, because people want to see your deformed Korrasami fanart and painfully unfunny comics.
 
Great. We've added "shit eating grin" to the creep factor of his many icons (again, funny how he has no time for the stuff patreon pays him for but plenty to make more icons)

Also in order to actually work with sticking in different outfits or whatever, a character needs to be at least semi-lovable. Don't even have to be the most stereotypically cute thing ever either.

Like so! Even got a better name pun: "Nidorina of time"!
 
Dobson's complete lack of self-awareness almost makes my brain melt. Seriously.

What is with the gigantic white space around his characters in his "progress" art post?

Considering Dobson has fans and e-infamy, I'm rather shocked that he has relatively few Twitter followers. It's easy to get lots when you're in the webcomic community, especially if you have a little e-fame. That tells me loads about what the errs-on-the-side-of-hugboxing community thinks of him, and if that ain't funny, I don't know what is.
 
He needs to stop talking about Korrasami. Yes, I'm glad it happened too, but whenever Dobson does/says anything related to the ship he's basically turning it into a creepy fetish. Fact is, it would be completely different if he was gushing over a heterosexual pairing, even though the uncomfortable "you're how old and they're cartoon teenagers" factor would still be there. At least with a straight couple there's something for him to personally relate to. Here you can tell that he's getting turned on by the fact that two attractive women have entered into a romance. That's where the "fetish" factor comes in. Dobson - despite how hard he wishes it were true - is not a lesbian or a bisexual woman. There are so many levels to which he is removed from these character's sexuality, and yet that's the source of his obsession.

This is like when I come across a fanfic featuring lesbian characters, but written by a man. Or the ever-popular yaoi stories written by women. The author can't speak from a personal experience because they lack even the physiological requirements to be a part of the group they're penning explicit sex scenes about. It's clear that they're in it just for the sexual aspect. To that end, Dobson embodies the reason why I get uncomfortable with any kind of PDA in public; even if me and my girlfriend are simply holding hands. I know that simple hand holding is enough to be a spectacle to someone.

I'm not saying that you have to be gay to ship gay characters or even straight to ship straight characters. But there's a fine line between thinking two characters make a great couple and turning their relationship into a sexual fantasy. Dobson spent how many hours editing a movie-length video of Korrasami supercuts simply so he can go "SEE! IT'S TOTALLY LEGIT FOR ME TO SHIP THESE TWO!" to his detractors? And I have to ask: what is the personal gain for him? The only answer I can come up with is the satisfaction that any erotica he reads about them is backed up by series' canon. How progressive of him.
