You'd think Dobson would appreciate another business acting like an asshole to its customers.

Dobson notices his patreon is in a nosedive, begins spamming Twitter with please give me money:

I've said it before, the reason his money dropped so low is because he doesn't know how to structure a Patreon. It's not hard to have different levels with actual rewards each month, sheesh.

Oh and the other reason his Patreon is so low is because he is intolerable, but that's a given.
 
Dobson should take advice from this fellow popular DA artist.

http://sakimichan.deviantart.com
http://patreon.com/sakimichan

Over $25,000 bi-weekly just to draw pandering fanart (nsfw and genderbent crap too) and uncanny valley works. What a life.

I like to think samikichan just got lucky or was a case of in the right place at the right time like how *cringe* Pewdiepie *cringe* was during the "slender the 8 pages" craze! That's not to say samiki ISN'T talented however. Good heavens I could never paint the way samiki does!

Anyway, even if Dobson did a complete overhaul of his artistic style and actually got down to business instead of spending like 14 hours a day bitching on Twitter about random crap nobody but him cares about, I doubt he could make even close to a quarter of what samiki does bi-weekly.

Sakamichan has regressed in terms of art, sadly. Turns out R34 is a lucrative business. You know, Dobson would actually probably make a good deal of money if he drew inflation porn for Patreon. People with fetishes tend to throw money at people willing to draw them, especially the more unacceptable.

I was always under the assumption that sex sells and even tested out my theory on my old DA account when I drew a series of "sexy" pinup girls at least once a month and I recall joining several hentai-ish clubs just to get said pieces some recognition. To be fair, a lesbian valentine piece I did got over 1,000 views and like 10 favs, but then again, aside from two naked chicks I drew and a topless woman laying on a bed in that "come and get some of this" pose, it seems to me at least you've gotta really work at it if you want some of that hentai/R34 cash!

I tried out the same experiment with the same results lol. Sexy themes increase views by an absurdly large magnitude.
 
I don't know how Patreon works, but I assume it's a matter of being productive with art projects/having attractive rewards that will lend you more donors. Soo, yeah, Dobson should try to include better rewards or at least attempt something new other than the occasional vidya fanart.

off topic:

Sakamichan is horribly overrated. There, I said it. I eagerly await everyone's flood of negative ratings for not finding some overly rendered drawings of pinup vidya fanart at all interesting or groundbreaking.
 
Also, to avoid the problem that people constantly pointed out the hypocrisy of depicting 'antagonists' as fat and balding while he himself is fat and balding.
And on a sidenote: everyone who uses a 'u' instead of 'you' in normal text should be dragged to the closest bog and tossed inside.
I don't think anyone's brought these up.

1 and 3 are somewhat decent for Dobson, but that 2 one, holy fuck. What's wrong with those calves and that awkward pose?
Dobson has recently had a mini-rant on Twitter about his interactions with Gamestop, how much he loathes them, and how he hates buying physical copies of games.
Ex:

What is it with lolcows hating Gamestop?
Man, being an employee at Gamestop sure must suck a lot.
Either you get maced or a balding, fat bloke nags you with some shitty Demo he can most likely download online much more convenient anyway.

It's almost like pissing off fans was a dumb fucking move in the long run.
Also "sadly, the clients win...", goddamnit Dobson. These people PAY you. Might as well insult them for their audacity to actually commission poorly drawn, semi-traced shit from a hack artist that shoots himself in the foot on a daily basis.
As I already said, Dobsons dream job would be something where he does nothing yet free money rolls in monthly anyway. Basically, his aspiration is to be Notch without supplying any kind of product beforehand. People are just supposed to pick him up on Patreon, give him a shitload of money (despite getting nothing in return) and then he might consider finally 'picking up the pencil' and doodle some lesbian fapfodder. Really, he offers nothing in return for Patreon-dosh. 'Early Access' and half-done sketches. Whoopee. Even his stretch-goals offer nothing.
Gee, I wonder why this insufferable, lazy, hypocritical bigot isn't getting tons of money from Patreon-supporters when he offers them such an exquisite collection of nothings in return.

That's the thing, though. Dobson could be rolling in wads of cash if he was willing to swallow his ill-placed pride and dive into obscure fetish porn.
I'll put it like this: The furry fandom is overrun with incredible artists. I really don't understand the sexual fixation on cartoon animals and the (thankfully long since forgotten) "Fursecution" bullshit annoyed the piss out of me, but if there's one thing I have to admit, it's the fact there's quite some good artists in that fetish-area. People make a lot of money by doing (often lewd) commissions, but since the competition is strong, you have to be good at this shit to really get money.
Now, if you're into weird, more grotesque stuff, you have to pretty much take what you can get, in terms of art. Even bad artists can make a dime since the demand is highly specific without any kind of competition.
So yeah, Dobson making inflation art would actually have been a source of income if he had sticked to it and improved his skill a bit... and there's always other niches to exploit. Of course, that's nothing to brag about, but with the right attitude, it's not that big a deal either. Especially when you can claim you're only doing it for the money.

He just spammed it 5 times and he wonders why it's failing. Lol.

The answer's easy. Get off Twitter, work on making your clients happier through making his pieces a lot better than they are currently, and then there's that word of mouth element he could take advantage of if he had a better reputation than he did now. Creating more demand for your work by making it better and then he can plug his Patreon.
