You know, I've half a mind to commission a picture of a kid buying character-themed balloons at a fair. Or character-themed hot air balloons, might be more subtle.
Just to see if he bites.

Also, Dobson isn't skilled enough or accommodating enough to make very much from commissions, even if he wanted to. Maybe he subconsciously realizes this, and he tells himself "I don't do commissions because I hate doing them" to distract from the truth and make him feel better about himself as an artist and a person.

I love that artist. I also love this one:
Curt Sibling and Jflaxman, both of them having more talent in one finger than Nookie bear in all his furry little body. I guess Preston does something good... he inspires quality artists to make hilarious cartoons out of him!

Dobson wants all of the credibility, prestige, and profitability of some well-respected artist without the effort put into being one.
He draws whatever he wants when he feels like it, which is why he'll never do commissions and why he can get away with Patreon wallpapers, since he can draw whatever he wants for them and, because of the vague release window he has for the wallpapers, he can literally get around to it whenever he feels like it.

Posting that commission debacle again for kicks:

wow Just knowing how truly lazy and incompetent he is should be the greatest push for any aspiring career artist.

What a vainglorious blowhard, since when does a professional artist's work is dictated only by his desires? Newsflash: most pro-artist work is entirely dictated by the demands of the people that hire them to create art. Very rarely, especially highly coveted artist, will have time to do 'art for art sake' at best a artist like such can choose what to accept and what to decline, but at the end of the day it is work, not play. The inspiration and the love comes from realizing that people want YOU to create something for them, and as such, it is a privilege to serve them while doing what you love.
He doesn't have the work ethic nor the self discipline to meet the demands that commission work require. For fuck's sake, Does he even have the proper tools to do the work that is required of him? Last I checked he still sketches on paper to later scan them on to his outdated Apple computer. I don't know of any professional who doesn't have a Wacom Intuos, a Cintiq or some other 3rd party tablet to paint and sketch directly into the art program. But not him, he would rather waste money on a fucking WiiU and games rather than upgrading his own work tools, because you know, he is broke and all but he has to have his Nintendos!

Oh wonderful, now I've got this mental image of Dobson getting hired by Disney but refusing to do anything unless they greenlight a 2D three-hours-and-a-half film about his stupid bear crusading against misogyny and the Gamergate terrorists, like lumping an entire script for it on his supervisor's desk.

Because he drew himself as a young, fit guy with a full head of hair and people called him a liar.

He also claimed that he "won" against those at ED who pooled their money. What they showed was a half assed job done by Dobson. Samus in the pic wasn't fighting Ridley, as they intended. No Dobson, you did not win.

This is still the worst commission I've ever seen.
The characters don't look like they belong in the same piece. Dobson traced Ridley and Samus, separately. Then he plopped Samus on top of Ridley, like a sticker. This took OVER FOUR MONTHS.

Nah, now you are just being silly, Dobson having a "Supervisor" ?! Don't you know he'll only accept being hired as Chief Animation Director of the entire studios, why settle for less? Clearly he knows what is best as he is always pointing out to game studios and comic book publishes how things should really be done.
Either that or he'll be suggesting to make direct-to-video sequels of all Disney movies where he retcons all the leading female characters to be in reality lesbians which all dump their CIS White male scum prince charming in favor of the female support cast of each corresponding story.

About that commission journal, I must admit I share one of Dobson's faults, in that I took a bit longer than expected to finish a commission, but that's my case for my art in general lately, not only commissions, tbh.
But I don't take freaking four months! The one time I took even longer than that was because
So yeah, Dobson was an asshole and he didn't have any excuse, especially when he traced almost the whole thing.
I also recall he, not so long ago, twitted something like "People writing mean comments to me demotivate me from doing commissions
" and, curiously, he was VERY specific in that it only stopped him from doing commissions, which implies he had no problems with doing art for himself and his stupid comics at all, just the paid drawings were the ones being affected.
But I don't take freaking four months! The one time I took even longer than that was because
the person commissioning me started pestering me for months, right after asking for the commission (and he wasn't the first slot, but he didn't care), started harassing my online friends about it too and spamming me with notes and personal mails, every single day (and it was like this for all those months, even when I always sent him updates). I did it for the money tbh but I regret that particular experience, terrible client and I made the stupid mistake of straight up accepting his 21-sketches commission. But, besides that, I never had problems with this, I'm not popular and my commissions are dirty cheap anyway, my clients know if I have a problem to deliver their commission fast so they know what to expect when commisioning me

He threw a temper tantrum over people calling him fat, basically, i.e. he didn't look like he was drawing himself. So he was like fuck you, I'll draw this bear instead. Then he pretended it wasn't just a fursona and would get mad if you'd claim that was him, even though it replaced his self-insert. Then he spent a week calling himself "The Unbearable Bear" on his Twitter feed, apparently forgetting he was pretending that wasn't his fursona.
Basically, because he's a dumbass. And because people pointed out he was fat.

What kills me the most is that Dobson just dropped Samus smack dab in the exact center of the image, floating in space.remember that dobson drew a much cooler looking piece of samus fighting ridley years ago
I'm just now realizing Dobson blurred the area around Samus, presumably to try to obscure that Ridley and Samus were not drawn together and fit terribly.

Because he feels the need to portray himself as something harmless, cute, cuddly and submissive. The reason for this is up for debate, it may be (as I suspect) that he's a sexual sub in the closet, or that he has deep inside himself a very violent, domineering character streak which he tries to suppress.

Honestly, I always thought it was because he's always latched onto his dream of wanting to become a Disney cartoonist and his fursona is a way of expressing his "Disney magic" despite it being less "adorable" and more "fist magnet."
