Backlash shouldn't be in quotation marks, Dobson.
Take this as a sign, Dobson, and stop posting art.

Oh great, he's doing Spider-Gwen now. It's like Dobson's goal is to shit on everything I like.

How can someone who was trained fuck up value so badly? Also look at that fucking arm, it'd touch the ground like the knuckle-dragger Dobs is.Fuck this fursona. He's more smug than usual. Dressed as Mako according to his Twitter.

Dobby Bear, let's make this perfectly clear. NOBODY AT ALL wants to see their favorite fictional characters being cosplayed by your ugly smug blue bastard in a hat cartoon bear that you use as your personal avatar to stir up controversy wherever you roam on the internet.
Secondly, why do you think all these "trolls" and "haters" come out of the woodwork as you claim every time you post another one of your low effort cringy drawings that a pro artist would dissect in the blink of an eye coupled with harsh criticism? Surely it has nothing to do with how much of a self narcissist you are who's attitude quickly flip flops between "I DESERVE MONEY ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE WORLD HANDED TO ME ON A SILVER PLATTER" and "WAAHHHH....SOME MEAN TROLL TOLD ME THINGS I DIDN'T NEED TO HEAR! BAWWWWWW! I HATE ART!" right?

He's talking on twitter about Star Wars' original trilogy now and trivia about filming errors. At the risk of revealing my power-level, I'd like to say that Ralph McQuarrie was my great uncle--and Tom, if you're reading this, I want you to know that you aren't shit. You aren't even enough of an artist to compare with him, so stop talking shit. I don't care if your critique is good or bad, you can't even talk about it because you're just some furry dipshit whose legacy will never stand up to his. This isn't about a fandom, or your "rights" or some elitist vanguard idiocy you made up because mommy didn't have the heart to tell you that you don't have any talent with a paintbrush. This isn't about that; this is about a man's magnum opus, an opera on film that changed the world as we know it, and you can't talk about it like you're some great voice on the subject of art and culture because you're not. You're just some nobody that likes to draw himself as a blue cartoon. It really doesn't even matter if you stop talking about it, because no one will remember what you said. No one will remember you.

"astonishingly weird"
I'm sure the Patreon pledges he gets think the same thing about him. And why he won't stop self-inserting. It just so happens he loves self-inserting into the "only prominent male in the show" characters too. Hmm...

To be honest, in many respects Dobson is a more talented artist than Buckley. Buckley's biggest weakness is faces, whereas Dobson is decent at portraying emotion through facial expressions (that cosplaying bear reeks of smugness).
But even if Buckley is a self-impressed untalented pedophile, he is at least a grinder - he puts out plenty of product. Dobson seems terminally incapable of doing that, and seems offended by the idea it's something he should aspire to.
The fact that he only seems to be capable of producing fan art really shows what a creative cul de sac he's in - not just that he doesn't seem to be able to come up with any original ideas, but given that his main contact with the world outside his parents' bedroom seems to be twitter, he's probably wildly (if not consciously) overestimating the potential marketplace that these fan-derived works can access. And that's presuming they didn't star his own fursona, a character that nobody except him cares about.
I mean really, "A picture of my fursona cosplaying some anime character" is the paradigmatic definition of the kind of art nobody else would want. It's like the kind of idiots who expect other people to pay for their self-insert fanfiction.

When both make Liefeild look both productive and high quality by comparison there's not really much you can say for either.

Minimalist coloring works better for fat line work, no crazy added face lines, an actual referenced hand/body. The composition is bad still but at least he put in some effort.

Oh fuck the background. I just noticed it and was only really focusing on tinkerbell and the decent hand.

Liefeld was vastly commercially successful for a long period of time, and whatever people now think of the quality of his work, he made a lot of it, and the people who bought it seemed satisfied enough by it at the time to keep buying it. Arguably, his unrealistic style was a return to the classic era of comic book art, more interested in action than accuracy.
In any event, he was hugely successful. At least some of the negative attitude toward his work seems to be a backlash against his period of immense popularity.
Dobson will never enjoy great success or any backlash against it, because nobody gives a shit what he does. Even people who hate Liefeld actually care enough about his work to hate it.

Oh I know, the man could pencil and ink 3 books a month by himself. That's the job of 6 normally. I'll give him that, he was amazingly focused and a pretty great role model for productivity.

He's also capable of laughing at himself (he did a lot of it when he was working on Cable & Deadpool) which is more than Dobby can say.

I think it's clear at this point that either Dobsy slept through his art classes, or his teachers didn't give two shits when it came to him and his lack of skills. And the arm looks like he's attempting foreshortening, but it comes off as looking like it's larger then the rest of his body.

There's that. I think there's another thing too.
When most people insert their personas/whatever into a fandom, they're usually doing it in an inclusive way. So if it was, Steven Universe, they'd probably draw their character as a gem/gem monster or something. It's harmless enough and probably takes a decent amount of skill to translate that character to "fit in" with whatever they're being inserted to.
When Dobby does it, he basically replaces a character with a self-insert. Given how one of the most hated traits of a Mary-Sue is the way they'll often come along and totally usurp the roles of an established character that the artist/author clearly thinks is better... (oh, we have a hacker on the team? Well make way for Li'za-Cyber-Foo-Fanny who hacks into the Pentagon and CIA 364627247 a day for fun!)
Add "universally hated character" to that list (seriously, do his fans even like dobbear?) and recipe for disaster!
TL;DR: When most people do these things, it's fitting in with the universe, when Dobby does it, it's hijacking.

Honestly, if it weren't already for his dickish behavior, terribad art and "LA-LA-LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" attitude to criticism. That would be the worst thing about him.
But when you mix those together with the smug-as-get-out bear, that's when you have a recipe for disaster.
