💼 Careercow Andrew Dobson (aka Tom Preston)

So much material on the guy. I believe we would see one day Vivian James relaxing on a Dobby Bear-skin rug.

Anywho, I don't get his fetish for lesbians, is it because he has a thing for a matriarchal society or what?

 

[Chan the Wizard]

I just think he's just a virgin with rage that longs for the touch of woman, and the lesbians are just projections of his desire for a woman to touch him. Maybe his first (only?) girlfriend broke up with him after revealing she's a lesbian.

 

[Dudeofteenage]

I think his thing for lesbians is fairly standard straight male fap-fodder.

That and I think he's like Chris in regards to males. Based on his Twitter feed and DA journal entry, he was made fun of a lot in high school, especially by boys. I think he's internalized a lot of that hate towards men and doesn't want to depict any male that's not himself with a woman.

I've seen, heard of, and known a few men like Dobson. We've failed. That's all I can say in response to there being widespread Dobsonist thinking among a certain group.

I went on his dA and there's a few new single page drawings that are interesting because they look like he tried. I dunn though. Artfags discuss:

First of all, he has never seen a bear. The first one especially looks like a dog. Granted, animals are pretty hard to learn, but I'm cringing at that ear on the first one. That's not what a bear's ear looks like. Anyone with his experience should know to do some studies on an animal before attempting semi-realism.
Still, it looks way better than his usual. He's trying new things, which I applaud him for. It doesn't look like it's from a 30+ year old with a degree, but it's something.

BONUS ROUND

MY SHITTY PHOTOSHOPS

 

[Chan the Wizard]

He still didn't draw a background on a single image. The creation of Adam inspired one could be forgiven because he at least used appropriate colors, but he still just sort of half-assed it.

 

[SpessCaptain]

Spoiler: Crit

Claws are awkward lookings, using noise pattern with gradient on table. Shading on the side of the table. Legs uneven. Arm on the Right seems too rounded and out of place. Tail in wrong position.

Guys face is fucked, hands look like they're broken, check out that dudes fucking belly. Miamoto looks like a woman, link's nose. Bland shitty palette, using Earthtones for what would be a cheery work.
If he's mimicking traditional works he should of dropped the outlines and shat on the colouring.

If the same character as below she looks entirely different, scratchy 'shading' - lighting amibigious (why is there lighting in the inside of the left leg? Bears head expands in helmet. Bear's nose looks puglike. Bears feet and hands bad.

Armor doesn't shatty like fabric, IIRC, left-most leg looks too long and at a wrong angle, looks like double eyebrows. Hand on chest looks too big(?). Cobwebs on the side of the chest should of broken unless the chest was positioned open for the spider to make it like that. Moth (you know because its got nothing in it) looks more like a Fly. Different chestpiece than previous character, skirt, looks to masculine (if its a woman)

I really don't like how Earthtoned is for the second image, it just ruins it. The outline for the first image is stupid too.

 

[John Titor]

Armor shouldn't cling too much to the body like that.


He should also learn to vary the lines a bit. He's doing that "sharpie marker lining" again.

 

[Ecto-1A]

Jury's out on the pics, but on the first one, I would call animal control...

 

[Dudeofteenage]

To my uneducated eye, the girl-and-bear-partying-on-the-log looks alright. Simple idea, competently executed. I presume from the Skyrim-style helmet this is some kind of "HEY GUYZ I PLAY SKYRIM DO U PLAY IT TOO" reference, because Dobby defines himself by his uninteresting opinions about mainstream video games, but that doesn't bother me in and of itself. Although now that somebody has pointed out the bear's head swelling under the helmet, it's sort of hard not to notice it.

The last one is kind of muddy looking and poorly composed so the eye isn't really drawn to the main point of the print (the small handful of coins). The Brentalfloss one is clearly designed only for plans of Brentalfloss, which I don't care about, and the first one... so what is he saying, he's constantly harassed by people asking for his autograph and is sick of it? Sounds unlikely.

I think the joke is: his avatar is a bear and if he was a bear IRL his convention panels would be a lot more awesome.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

If a bear could draw as well as Dobson, the bear would be impressive unlike Dobby.

A bear also probably wouldn't get sprayed with a water bottle.

No argument here

 

[Pickle Inspector]

Curmudgeonly Carl is pretty awesome:

I wonder if Carl is Dobby's Mary Lee Walsh? (As in based off a teacher that dared to criticize him and is now forever a villian in his comic)

 

[Jared]

 

[MayMay]

I barely even know this Carl fellow but he's the best Dobson character by a mile.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

It's funny really. Dobsy's avatar complains about being soulless after the fill bucket, yet he looks just as wooden before the bucket. I mean I know my stuff is wooden (personal experience and all). But come on, an animation major should be able to do a lot better than... this.
