Let's face it, If Dobson had a pub, we all know he'd turn it into this sometime down the line.

There's half a point to that artistic growth analogy. It isn't just a formula, some people can spend ages stuck in a rut and then rather suddenly noticing something that might make a difference and boom, improvement.
Problem is, Dobson's "growth" is not a tree, it is just a stump.
What makes it creepy is the way he has to make it seem like ~activism~ nono, he's not obsessed with lesbians he's.. uh... pro LGBT rights! Overly drawn to female youth? Uh... feminism!
Thing is, it makes something a person would otherwise write off as benign or at least ignorable incredibly suspicious, as if he thinks it would be something "dirty" if he didn't dress it up as activism.

Well I don't even think it's so much as that. I mean, some people will probably have some particular character traits they might focus on a lot to the point where their favourites often have some shared traits even in otherwise unrelated characters. For instance I tend to be drawn to characters that are comedic jerks or similar (such as the two lil' shits in my icon, Wario, The Koopalings, ect) I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets drawn to particular traits.

What's funny is he'd actually be less creepy if he was just openly a sexually repressed fat neckbeard like so many comics artists are.

Openly repressed? That's, like, super duper self-awareness, and Dobson can't even muster up the regular kind.

In a way, Dobson can serve as an example in a lot of cases.
Dobson got a dream to become an animator, what did he do about it? At some point decide he's good enough, stop trying to strive for improvement and now blames everything on trolls, haters, the boogeyman... any convenient scapegoat. But he will never improve or reflect upon his situation.
Dobson got a weird fetish, what did he do? Try to sweep it under the rug, rage about it, rant about it, but always pretend it's something of the distant past and thus no longer relevant.
Dobson is into lesbians, what does he do? Try to pretend it's some sort of activism, when -in fact- it's only twitter-slacktivism at best, all motivated by his urge to rub one out over underage lesbians.
Just to name a few examples...
What should a sensible person do? Pretty much the opposite of what Dobbers always does.
There's literally nothing wrong with having a weird, outlandish fetish. I mean, in Dobbob's case, it's not about excrements, gore, violence or the likes... so while it's a really stupid, nonsensical fetish, it's rather unremarkable on the 'dude, that's fucked up'-scale of what /b/ might have to offer.
Similar with his fondness for lesbians. One sentence, and noone here would get on his tits about his hypocrisy. Just writing "Yeah, I enjoy lesbians, cause I think girls that cuddle and kiss are cute..." and noone would give a shit.
But of course, Dobson has to herald his fetish in an asinine "representation matters"-way and wave it around like it was the war-banner of equality.

Uh-huh. Even with something that's often considered objectionable but probably not unanimously bad (like, say, loli/shotacon if it doesn't extend to real children) the best way to deal with it is just... own up to it. Yeah a few/lot (depends) will probably shun you but others would probably at least respect the honesty and it's not like the former wouldn't shun if they found out anyway.
I don't think everyone everywhere would just stop making inflation cracks if he just out and said "Yeah I like it, I'm a weirdo, go figure" but some people would still respect his honesty in that situation. Worst thing you can do with your freak flag is try to hide it when everybody's seen it.
Dunno if I explained that alright or even made sense. Not feeling so hot right now, head and throat are pretty fucked up and I'm not sure I'm thinking straight...

The saddest part is that Dobson could become an animator today if he really wanted to.
Almost anyone else who starts a new hobby goes for years without recognition. But Dobson already has a following!
If Dobson simply loves the art of animation, he only needs to animate for that self-validation. If Dobson desires recognition as a serious artist, he only needs to release serious art for that self-validation.
(Generic fan art, straw man comics, and Dobby Bear cosplays don't cut it.)

OH MY. This man is so much a closeted submissive, we should just all chip in and get him a professional domme.Getting back to art critique (hope this wasn't posted in this thread earlier)...
Anyone else think the Hulk's right foot looks a bit frog-like with the toes splayed out here:

It's sad that my first thought was, "Hey I'd piss on his face for free." But it's no fun if he's gonna actually enjoy it.

But then what would he animate?
I don't really get the impression that Dobson's the kind of artist who enjoys inventing his own characters all that often. His schtick seems to be either fan art or bitching about his own life (as he sees it), and then there's that one comic of his with the Brentalfloss guy (who I just learned is a real person). If the Dobs wanted to go indie, he'd have to make up an original story with characters from his own imagination instead of ripping off someone else's. If he really insisted on fan art instead, he'd have to get himself into one of the big studios---but which one of them would want to hire a guy with his reputation or attitude?

Wouldn't it be obvious? Either inflation shit or crap with his bear.
That being said, it's pretty obvious by this point that Dobsy doesn't seem to like drawing. And only does it because he's "forced" to shit something out bi-weekly or so just to shut everyone up (or so he thinks). Also, being left-handed is not a good thing when you want to be an artist. I mean I know it's not impossible, and people like Michelangelo and M.C. Escher managed to make amazing works of art. But that's not a good thing if you want to break into animation/cartooning.
Then again, I'm right-handed, so I guess my thoughts are useless in that regard.

Rocket looks like one of the animals from Slylock Fox, Stitch looks completely two-dimensional, and the two of them are standing way too close together. Rocket's standing on Stitch's foot or something.

That's literally the worst, most pillowy shading I've seen come out of someone who claims to be a professional.

That much became clear once I saw his Patreon. He practically says there that he needs money to motivate him to draw anything. It's all well and good to sell the products of your hobby, but what kind of hobbyist needs money to bribe him into continuing his hobby?
Not that I understand why he'd even pick up drawing in the first place if he had no passion for it whatsoever, especially since art isn't known as a field that pays really well...

He's still getting worse. It's like if he works at it, in 20 years, he'll be drawing Sonichu.

Geez, and I thought the uncolored version was terrible. The lighting is dreadful and proves that Old man Dobson shouldn't even be trying with any form of coloring, let alone shading at this point.
That's what got me scratching my head too. Why would you need money just to get you to make art? Sure it's nice to have some money, but that shouldn't be the foundation on why you draw.
Nah, by this point it'd be more like the sketch pages of MegaTokyo that Gallagher likes to post every now and again.
