Aside from that I also think that it is in no-one's right to tell another person how art should be made. Just because you're an artist everyone looks up to, who makes thousands of dollars a year with just making art and who has thousands of fans. It still doesn't mean you can go to someone else and say 'Hey you, you're doing it wrong'. I've been in the art scene as well and I have my share of fans who stay by my side even though it's been years since I made anything. And one thing I noticed is that for every nice person trying to help someone out, there's at least 2 assholes who think their way is the only right way.

When people ask me for advice I'm sure I will tell them a few things that would make professional writers cringe and would make digital artists facepalm. But guess what, they didn't ask them for advice, they asked me for advice. That means that they like the art style and want to know how they can create something similar. So I tell them how I do what I do. That's not necessarily the best way to do it, but its how I make the work my fans love.

The same exact thing applies to Dobson. He does what he does best, make silly simple comics with ill informed punch lines. And apparently people like him enough for doing that and want to make something similar. What good is it going to do them if they ask a super experienced artist who is specialized in super realistic art if all they want to draw is comics?

Fact remains that people hate this guy because he's (apparently) messing up his own life. They are mad because his skill stagnated, they are somehow mad because this guy isn't what he could be. And if that's the case, creating these flaming websites and video's isn't the way to convince him to do better. And if that isn't the case and people just hate him, go find something better to do with your time. The guy isn't harming anyone, he's doing his own thing and people get a good laugh out of his stuff. And now these guys are almost dedicating their life to pointing out every single flaw and mistake this guy makes. Its pathetic to even watch, to be honest.
