Maybe he'll actually get better as an artist

>> No.3351906

From an artistic point of view, yes. He has enough innate talent that he could learn and develop his skills to become a decent comic book artist or animator.

From a personality POV, no. He's too self-righteous, bitter and opinionated to ever achieve anything, because he is incapable of taking advice or self-analysis, and he has a compulsion to be the "good guy" in every situation, even when it's to his detriment, even when it's obvious to everyone else that he's a virtue-signaling hypocrite.

He's competent, but even when his art is technically acceptable, the result is usually very unappealing; it's got a old-fashioned feel to it, and not in a good way.

It's probably the product of his obsession of defining his own approach and methods as the "proper way" instead of finding a middle ground between classic textbook notions that are safe to use as ersatz authority, and modern techniques and resources that could help him improve and explore ways of making his stuff fresher.

In other words: he's too focused on being a defensive self-righteous douchebag to make anything of himself.

Yes. He went to art school for crying out loud; that in itself is already a huge opportunity. Even if he didn't land a job at Disney or whatever, if he kept applying himself to this day he'd still have something decent going for him.

He could still make it now, even. He's got a lot of notoriety he could make use of to bounce back, but that would entail a huge shift in attitude regarding a lot of things and whole lot of work I don't see him ever putting down.

You are asking him to literally "admit" something he doesn't believe. It doesn't matter if you think he should realize he's wrong or if you think he made a mistake. It's about how you approach it with a fallacy. Like a typical SJW.

He admitted that his actions made people upset and that he was sorry about that.

Considering how an apology consists of admitting fault and then asking for forgiveness, failing the first part makes his tweet come off as a very empty gesture. It's very poor damage control and brings into question his own character.

I don't see how that paints a false image at all.

>> No.3361093

>>3361053
No he didn't. He just pointed out that some didn't like it. If he is not among them then he's obviously not sorry unless he's just sorry he got caught saying something people disapprove of, which doesn't qualify as admitting he was wrong.

No. He's as much of a manchild as you can be, completely incapable of accepting fault. He's not capable of self-criticism or of accepting the criticism of others, and being unable to recognize which areas he needs to improve most in - or even that he needs to improve at all - means Dobbie was never, ever gonna make it.
