What's Sup Forums opinion of this man's opinions?

He's a self-righteous idiot who likes to morally grand-stand and call out creators like Frank Miller for being weird creepy sex perverts, while being a weird creepy sex pervert.

>grand-stand and call out creators like Frank Miller for being weird creepy sex perverts, while being a weird creepy sex pervert.
Like Sup Forums does with Shadman?

...

People don't like Shadman because his art is shit and his super-edgelord shtick isn't funny.

he should apologize to Rob Liefeld

His face looks like it was photoshopped on.

there are hundreds of extremely shitty "artists", WAY worse than he is
and condemning him for being edgy (on Sup Forums of all places) is as rich as calling others perverts

just admit hating the guy is one of the latest Sup Forums's memes

>there are hundreds of extremely shitty "artists", WAY worse than he is
Yes, but very few of them have his level of popularity, obsessive fanbase and massive ego.
In "worst of the worst" contests popularity is always a massive part of the equation. Nobody would mind Shadman if he had his tumblr blog with 1k followers, but he built an "empire" by pandering to fetishes nobody else is willing to draw - so nobody cared about his lacking artstyle - he got praise for it from the perverts who wouldn't otherwise get their dicks hard - and so instead of improving, he only refined the shit - and he wholeheartedly believes he's Top God.

Basically the point is - there are many, many artists who are WAY better than shadman, but don't get legions of people defending him at every corner.

...Linkatza?

I love his Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest review!

The fact that his face assumes a smug smirk no matter what expression he's actually trying to convey should tell you all you need to know.

When he doesn't go off on a morality rant he's pretty entertaining.
I don't keep up to him, I only watch him when I'm really bored and then tune him right out when he tries to grand-stand and skip past all his retarded skits.
Really same thing goes for Mr. Enter now that I think about it.
They're not that different.

Hating shadman is a meme.

He's smug, pretentious, egotistical, and self-righteous. He frequently morally grandstands and believes himself some kind of respected authority. He thinks himself some noble champion of right when anyone who's met him says he's really just an awkward manchild.

>Yes, but very few of them have his level of popularity

so it's Sup Forums's classic hipsterism then

>he wholeheartedly believes he's Top God.

source?

>Linkara does a major freak out seeing one panel of the dwarf guy from youngblood showering for comedy

>Linkara in reality has said in the past he would love to have some big strong woman with a giant dick fuck him

Why not just embrace your weirdness Linkara?

he's quite a nasty cock slut
I applaud him for admitting to that tho

Why is his face sitting sideways on his head?

>so it's Sup Forums's classic hipsterism then

You sound like the kind of person that preaches a balanced point of view but walks into arguments full well knowing that you won't change or even consider challenging your own preconceived notions and will make any attempt to undermine the other person instead.

And yet he's good buddies with Brad Jones who is the only cool person from TGWTG.

Don't forget that he doesn't know shit about the subject matter he focuses on, to the point that I have seen multiple people admit that Linkara got them into comics and then they stopped watching his vids after realizing they know more about comis than he does.

He's a retard that doesn't know anything about comics. His comic "reviews" are just him reading through it and making funny voices but he leaves important shit out every time, because usually context fixes narrative shit he complains about, or because he's just an asshole.

His stance on Spider-man is so misguided and ridiculous it kind of kills any credibility he'd have as a "superhero comics expert" or whatever the fuck. He thinks Spider-man is both irresponsible and a fool for not ditching his identity as Peter Parker, and unironically believes that Spider-man having a secret identity is a serious flaw in the character... when that's the entire point of Spider-man.

>hipsterism

Did you even listen to what he said? Shad, his art, and the throngs who follow him are terrible. And that's why so many people hate him.

If he had 500 followers on Tumblr he'd probably just get laughed at in cringe threads, and nobody would care that much. But he's huge and getting way more attention than his shit art and his trash personality deserve.

We're giving you the exact explanation you asked for you fucking dumbass. Don't call out hipsterism when you're the inbred defending this subhuman

That's cool and all but what has shad done other than make bad art? I always see people scream about how he's a terrible person but I never seen any evidence.

But if he's popular and beloved by all and your whole excuse for him not being good is that he makes a thing you don't like for reasons that do include his huge fan base. . . That's you being a contrarian hipster wanker.
I guess we should all be sorry you were too daft to get what the >Shadman meme was all about.

>IVE COME TO STEAL YOUR OATS
>FEDORA SUBMARINE
>ITS A CRACK IN THE WALL IF I SAY ITS A CRACK IN THE WALL

I finally have an excuse to post this webm again

I genuinely like Linkara, but the 'storyline' and tumblr humour is terrible.

His best videos are ones like the Blue Beetle retrospective, lots of good historical info that is interesting and his analysis is sometimes pretty good, he has the self righteous streak and maybe goes too far in some places, but talking about Frank Miller / Lees pointless half naked vicki vale in ASBAR is completely warranted because it is tasteless, and in Millers own notes to Lee he said he wanted it sexual and grimey, and in such cases the self righteousness is warranted, it's tasteless and shit as well as promoting the 'boys club' industry mentality

He has given me genuine knowledge about the industry, it's processes and editors and for that alone he gets a pass from me

>it's tasteless and shit as well as promoting the 'boys club' industry mentality
>promoting the boys club
>video games also make people violent
>this user has the supply and demand of comics reversed
Its amazing how many stupid people still think that consumable media influences people and not the other way around.

So many people shit on him because his art IS shit and would still do so even if he didn't have a huge fanbase, assuming they even heard about him then. So I don't need his fanbase as a reason to hate him, but I still hate people for liking his garbage.

If people want to fap to badly-drawn edgy futa Nazi waifu sluts there's nothing anybody can do about it, but don't be surprised if people are calling you taste shit.

Also, I said he was beloved by a lot of terrible people, not everyone.

He's drawn porn of existing minors, a little girl YouTuber if iirc. Drew porn of his mum and showed it to her for mother's day.
Oh, he also drew edgy Roblox fanart. The only thing he was actually indicted for.

>what is propaganda

I may have used the wrong term, but I mean the industry itself and its treatment of writers, I dont mean the comic will turn people into raging misogynists

look into DC's treatment of female writers like Gail Simone at times

i hate sjwism as much as anybody else in this board, but that doesn't mean there arent problems. Frank Miller just wanting a panties clad girl taking up a full page in his comic, writing to jim lee to draw the ass out and everything is just fucking garbage from so many points of view

and hey look, i was able to respond without calling you stupid at any point

His opinions are his own. But AT4W is very comfy to me.

It's all so earnest.

A thousand times rather him than the million cynical manchildren on this site who produce nothing and slag off everything.

Dude is not aging well at all.

i've even made a jpeg to demonstrate what I mean, because sexual imagery in comics is fine when there is artistic justification and intent with what it is trying to do, like William Moulton Marston did with Wonder Woman. It is related to the very nature of the character and meant to explore or promote ideas. It is good, and it is fine.

Frank Miller wanted ass shots for eye candy, Vicki Vale being in her bra and pantaloons does nothing for the story or its ideas or themes. The exact same dialouge or scene could have happened without her being in her underwear, and it is garbage 'lads lads lads' type thinking equivalent to 12 year olds wanting to look at boobs and jerk off.

I didn't directly call you stupid.
If you don't think that consumable media influences people then the stupid doesn't apply to you.
Unless you do I didn't call you stupid.

thats fair enough, merry christmas user

There isn't much artistic justification for most comics in the first place, it's just there for entertainment. You know what's entertaining, hot babes.

You sound like some creepy puritan.

>being so dedicated to hating anything sexual that you go out of your way to make a jpeg
>like William Moulton Marston did with Wonder Woman
He was literally just a horny subfag living out his really fucking weird ideas of womanhood and fetishes through her.
Just cause its old and doesn't show as much as modern comics doesn't make it any less pure sexual shit. If he could have gotten away with her being even skimpier at the time he would have.
>Frank Miller wanted ass shots for eye candy, Vicki Vale being in her bra and pantaloons does nothing for the story or its ideas or themes.
And neither does it take away from it.
>'lads lads lads'
Your British puritan is showing.
>12 year olds wanting to look at boobs and jerk off
Even when I was 12 I wouldn't jerk off to this.
>stop liking hot chicks cause there is no reason for it to be there
>there is no reason for it not to be there either but shut up we must grow up because raisins
>I want more wymens to read comics so they will touch my peepee so we got to get rid of the hot women but not the hot men

I dunno if Wonder Woman is a good example when she was created for weird bondage fetish fuel.

and that is also fine, but they won't hold as much weight or substance as a properly thought out piece of art. That is not to say they're bad, one of my favourite writers ever is Gardner Fox, and his for example silver age flash stories have no real meaning but they are entertaining romps but there is nothing to read into beyond that, you get me?
i also just dont find cartoon babes to be hot, id just watch some porn or something if i wanted boobs

I'm tired of "opinions".

I really don't care about internet "celebrities" anymore.

Other than the fact that he emailed Doug Walker asking for a job, and was lucky enough to get in on the ground floor of Chanel Awsome and TGWTG.Com, how is Linkara at all qualified to review comics?

>and that is also fine, but they won't hold as much weight or substance as a properly thought out piece of art.
No one cares, these are comics not high art.

Are you fucking stupid? It's called a niche market? Maybe if we got somebody else who draws futa lolis fucking women with exaggerated tits and ass - someone who is better than Shadman, then he wouldn't be Top God. Since, he is, however the only person who draws futa lolis fucking women with exaggerated tits and ass, and does so in an artstyle that is fappable, then he is, definitionally, Top God in that field.

So? It's creepy and weird but it doesn't make you a bad person.

>he didn’t hear about how Shad was kicked out of college for publicizing his ugly smut
>he didn’t listen to anytime he aggrandized himself on the failure that was Sleepycast

No, I didn't, because nobody mentioned that in the thread yet, you fucking mouth-breather.

Also, got a sauce on that, you piece of shit? Or are you just blowing hot air from your rancid ass?

Just pop on any of the Sleepycabin episodes that have Shad on them, friendo. He actually confirms everything I said himself, no joke. I forget which one specifically it was, but they say who guest stars on which ones, so it won’t be hard for you to find.
But yes, his “art” was discovered by his university, specifically the one where his mom get some railed, and the higher ups deemed him a public menace and gave him the boot. Shad’s words, not mine.

>well knowing that you won't change or even consider challenging your own preconceived notions and will make any attempt to undermine the other person instead.
Yes, because otherwise you'll become an insecure paranoid husk of a man constantly questioning everything, and I do mean fucking everything. First hand experience. This is just how human brain works.

I don't like the Linkara character. Louis is ok, but he's basically doing the same review since 2009.

In contrast: Lindsey Ellis has evolved and the level of critical analysis in her new videos are way better than the old Nostalgia Chick.

"any," "i forget specifically," "for you to find."

Okay, so you don't actually HAVE any sources? So you ARE actually blowing hot air from your rancid ass. Good to know.

Listen, my man, it’s not hard to find. Jut go on iTunes and listen to the first episode that has Shad on it, it confirms everything (not the Sleepypasta episode, I remember he didn’t mention it on there) Hell, Ricepirate even tries to defend him on it, which is both sad and funny, honestly. Dunno why you’re so reticent to look it up...

She has evolved into a fine feminist

>getting this mad that someone's talking shit about a shitty pedo artist
lol?

>people complaining about loli on Sup Forums

Didn't he bug the living shit out of CR to draw this comic for him at one point?

Epic edit, boi.

not sure if b8 or new

>not realizing the pic means Link got got

do you guys even into meme

Was going to say same thing. It's like he's halfway between 2 & 3d.

>got got

pray it doesn't happen to you

That looks photoshopped on, too.

what could it MEAN

Yeah, she’s evolved into a fine drunk.

I just the cheomatic aberation. It makes his art look like shit.

>Linkara detected

*i just hate the

His opinions are shit
You are shit for posting him here again
DIAF

If you wanted to know what art analysis TV Tropes style looks like - look no further than Linkara.
This moron thought that Captain Boomerang's son in Identity Crisis was 'pointless' because it didn't progress the plot (even though it gave much needed characterization to Boomer and explained why he took the job that killed him).
I mean, I have my gripes with IC, but that subplot was one of the better parts of the book.

He thinks that fanservice (in the "your favorite characters being awesome!" style) is equivalent with 'good comics'. In fact, his main issue with Superman: At Earth's End was Superman using guns and killing people! And not, you know, story being shit and defeating its own message!

No, you don't get it.
For Marston, BDSM was more than a fetish, it was part of his personal philosophy. He believed society would be better if people learned to peacefully submit to others instead of constantly trying to fight for #1 spot in everything.

That's why sexual content in Wonder Woman is artistic (as it reinforces themes of the book) and sexual content in ASBAR is just shameless spankbait.

Why is it she looks more fuckeable in that picture than she has in years?

Linkara detected? He just uploaded like 5+ hour compilation of JUST the "storyline" segments from his reviews on his channel recently.
He genuinely thinks people like these, so he'd never write that comment.

Plus, user is right, his Blue Beetle retrospective was genuinely one of the better videos he made, where he tried to be actually informative and positive instead of doing the whole tired 'angry critic' shtick on mediocre books.

Shadman is a terrible artist and a pedophile edgelord (inb4 not a pedophile - he occasionally draws lolicon of actual real life little girls so no, not really) who rakes in mad cash while actually talented people who work hard scrape maybe 100 bucks a month on Patreon.

In fact, I recently checked out his old content he used to post on Newgrounds. Shadman actually gotten WORSE. His lettering and color genuinely gotten WORSE. So did his sense of anatomy. In 2011/2012 he was actually better than he is now - he just gotten so fucking lazy he know he can peddle anything as long as he draws a girldick on it.

And THAT is why people hate him.

secret identities might be stupid, but they're not that easy to pull off IRL, not even on a board like this, Lewis

Me too user. It feels like you have to rub sleep out of your eyes when you're looking at it, but it doesn't go away.

>Shadman is a terrible artist
What did he mean by this?

I miss latzaposting

She's obviously unhinged and drunken in this photo. You're attracted to her lack of inhibition.

no Anita cosplay for once

His face looks like it's photoshopped onto another person's face.

...it isn't, is it?

stop being new

>look into DC's treatment of female writers like Gail Simone at times
really? what did they do to her?

>Drew porn of his mum and showed it to her for mothers day
I really fucking need to know how this went down, did she like it or just freak the fuck out?

Drawing porn of actual real little girls makes you a pedophile. Like, even if you want to defend lolicon as 'not real' this is very definitely real.
I'm assuming in his apartment window, on a parapet sits a telescope aimed at a children's playground and a bottle of lube.
And that's MUCH more creepy when you consider he used to draw porn of little girls murdered and dismembered.

Just add the two thoughts. He masturbates to actual real life underage girls, and has zero concept of division between fake little girls and real little girls; and he masturbates to underage girls being violently murdered.

Are you sure defending this sick fuck is the hill you want to die on?

Is his face photoshoped on?

...

e-celeb threads are cancer and against >>>/global/rules/11 and >>>Sup Forumsrules/1
OP is a faggot.
Do your part to help purge subhumans like him from this board by reporting this thread.

lmao cry more faggot subhuman

Didn't Brad tell him to fuck off?

Okay, buckle up! I'm an artist, so let's break down what's so terrible with Shad's art!
FIRST: Anatomy.
Shad seems to have zero understanding how women actually look like. There are pretty much three bodytypes in his work - chick with big boobs, teenager with small boobs, loli. He never draws anything else.
He has zero idea how breasts behave, and constantly draws them as silicon baloon tits - in reality boobs are sacks of fat weighed down by gravity, and usually teardrop shaped. Fair, this is a common mistake.
Among BEGINNERS.
Not among people who have drawn naked woman for a living for 5+ years.

SECOND: coloring!
Shadman doesn't actually understand coloring. Primary idea in coloring and painting, the kind that they'd teach you in first month of art school, is that of a light source. Whatever you do, you need to make sure light comes from a specific point within the space you're depicting.

Shad doesn't do that, in his art light comes from ANY direction for each surface.

His shading is terrible, he always uses this TERRIBLE cel shading where he blurs the edges of the shadow slightly. He never tries more painterly shading, or even gets as ambitious to use more complex cel shading techniques like airbrushed shadows. Then of course, he adds a shitton of white shine onto EVERY surface making look like every surface in the picture is waxed.

In addition to that, man has zero understanding of color theory. Instead of trying to aim for a pic to have a specific color scheme - like pink/yellow/teal or blue and orange - he uses colors completely haphazardly. Most of his stuff is just in a single tone of pink with other shit randomly thrown in.

And last but not least, he can't draw cum. It looks like shiny grey slime.

(continued)

(cont)

So, we're not done yet! Not even close!

THIRD: character design. Shad is a terrible character designer. He has two idea for redesigns - making character into a nazi, or making character into this "alternative" emo/punk/goth hodgepodge that honestly is closest to a Suicide Girls model.

That's it, that's his two ideas. But in addition to his concepts being terrible, so is his execution! His designs are filled with a ton of pointless details and crap. His girls are always fucking LITTERED with a ton of tiny tattoos, piercings, makeup, whatever. All put together with zero concept of flow, composition or appeal.

Oh, and every single of his little girls looks disgusting instead of cute. He always gives them these uncanny valley eyes and teeth. Even if someone WAS a pedo, I can't imagine they actually could jack off to this crap.

So, FOURTH: Comics! Shadman is a terrible comic artist, yet insists on doing them! His panel layouts are extremely lazy and with little care for readers line of sight - or anything, really. There's rarely any composition, and which panels are bigger or smaller seems completely random. You'd expect that a panel with a literal money shot would be bigger than a panel with a random peneteration closeup (like a skilled doujin artists do), but nope! It's fucking diceroll with him.
In fact, lately I think he got SO lazy that he even stopped drawing panel borders.
I can genuinely say that Shadman has some of the WORST panel layouts I have ever seen in online comics. Probably even worse than Dresden Codak - DC has terrible layout because they're overcomplicated, Shad has terrible layouts because he's lazy and doesn't understand sequential storytelling.

FIFTH and FINAL: Lettering. For some reason Shad is the only artist I know who INSISTS on using his handwriting for lettering his comics - when his handwriting is TERRIBLE. It's gross and almost illegible. Jesus christ, can't he use Blambot fonts like everyone else?

Louis fucked more men than she did.

The guy dated a tranny and didn't allow him to have the sex change operation. Now he is dating a black whale.

Is the black whale a tranny too?

He married that black whale.

Does anyone know what happened to Spoony?

Oy, vey. He did it so you don't have to.

>Does anyone know what happened to Spoony?

It’s depressing to read about but long story short, he gets shit-canned from TGWTG and pretty much stops making any sort of full length videos. He starts vlogging more but eventually stops doing that, then he starts live-streaming playing games but is just a huge cunt to everyone who watches. He pretty much lives on Twitter, posting about his numerous health problems and complaining about Trump. His Patreon is drying up and just about everyone has given up on him.
He did upload a review about The Last Jedi but goddamn, he’s looking haggard now.
