Well he says he wants to work on a new project. So by "killing himself" he probably doesn't mean actual physical suicide but rather re-inventing his online presence and starting a new website.
 
Watch Your Mouth by Liz Davies is an idea for a comic by a person who may or may not have scammed a thousand dollars from people on go fund me as well as pretending to be a trans woman obsessed with the comic Shredded Moose. Evidently they responded to Aaron's tweet but I don't think I have enough autism to understand what's going on there.

There is this 30+ page SA thread about Liz if you're interested. Liz accused an artist of ripping him off of several hundred dollars. The artist appeared in the thread and defended herself pointing out that Liz was basically unstable and never actually hired her and treated her like a therapist. Liz's (SpoonfulofBromide) posts are fairly incomprehensible and it seems obvious that he is suffering from some kind of mental illness.

Don't flatter yourself. Why do you think I'm a psychotic killer huh? I wanted my webcomic drawn for money. You're just a terrible person who's jealous of my attitude. You wish you wish you could think the way I do, unbiased against anything but you can't and that's why you're in obscurity like you were bitching me to about. I was taking a chance, putting myself out there along with my gender identity and you just slammed me down because you're more insecure than me.

The first page of my webcomic is going to be dedicated to you for being an outright spiteful, hateful and jealous person. You literally sucked my tears off my face and gargled them. Thanks a lot. I'm not crazy, you are, you're paranoid and you're a sociopath yourself. You're trying to put me in the ground but this won't happen, I'm not going to let you win and kill my dreams the way others have gone down. You're trying to abort something brilliant, I hope you know that.

And you're trying to hurt me and bring me down but you're just a hater.

Ok how about this:
First panel: The transwoman and the gay straightman are in a room. the transwoman is all riled up about her comic and the dramatic reactions it's causing and the straightman is all unenthusiastic and says something like "you go girl."

Second panel: She’s all up in his grill and tells him her comic is gonna be "bigger than jesus."

Third panel: She's hanging on a cross that's bigger than jesus's that says "self persecution". She calls him a pip squeak and to "suckle them holy toes".

Special note: This is about my persecution complex. Not transwomen's. It's self deprecating the mary sue drama queen within all of us.

Why Aaron Diaz would bring any of this up? Fuck if I know.

Hilariously, what little exists of of Watch Your Mouth makes it out to be a Mary Sue comic with a cheesecake protagonist who doesn't really look too far off from the main character waifu of Dresden Codak.

Isn't Liz Davis Robert Wayne Stiles? Why would Diaz work with a pooflinger?

I'm a goon who was there to see this shit go down in our webcomic thread over a hundred times and from what I know, Liz Davis is/was Robert Wayne Stiles butt buddy, Andy. I don't know which one of them has which interests but one of them thought they were a webcomic writer who was "satirizing" social justice by making a comic where the main character is a trans girl whose a spoiled brat who purchases a gay robot to go shopping. Yeah, I don't get how that's mocking anything either.

I'm all for telling stories about sexy girl scientists, and IMO there is nothing wrong with creating fictional characters whom you'd like to be friends/romantic partners/fuckbuddies/etc. with. What IS wrong is creating characters who lack any depth because they're reruns of preexisting popular culture stereotypes. As I already said, Kimiko is basically Sheldon Cooper with boobs stuck on.

In order to come up with good characters who have depth and to tell interesting stories, one should look at *real* literature for inspiration - Shakespeare, Goethe, Edgar Allan Poe, Faulkner, Thomas Pynchon, etc. (No, Aaron, Randcrap doesn't count, neither does Tolkien).

Aaron Diaz seems to think that you can create something noteworthy by regurgitating existing popular entertainment and sticking some semi-intellectual stuff you read about on Wikipedia on top. Unsurprisingly, the result is horribly trite.
 
While waiting for the bus after work, I had a funny thought about what would Aaron Diaz's personal Hell would be...

Aaron: Wow, you mean I finally get to design characters for DC Comics?

Dan Didio: Of course, Mr. Diaz. And we'd like you to to be the artistic force for our newest hero, Psycho Dude. He's a CIS-hetrosexual male WASP.

Aaron: I guess it can't be too painful. I'm sure he's got a favorite incarnation of Dr. Who and...

Dan Didio: (Not really listening to him.) His hobbies include monster trucks, pumping iron and the comedy of Larry the Cable Guy. Oh, and he's got 20/20 vision so don't worry about putting any glasses on him. Oh and here's our new writer now. (Beau Smith comes in with a script and an evil grin.)

Beau Smith: Oh and for every piece of streampunk I find, you're spending three hours, watching Attitude Era WWE while wearing this t-shirt (holds up one that has a copy of Power Girl's cleavage that says, "Respect the Boob-Window.")

Aaron: NOOOOOO!

It's an interesting idea, but I think the devil would be somewhat more subtle - such as putting Aaron Diaz, Nookie Bear, Anita Sarkeesian and ADF in a closed room and streaming the developments in real time via webcam.

Well, that was an opinion. No need for the hurting of butts, methinks. Don't comics/webcomics go through this yearly or so about what "REAAAAAL" art is?

Pretty much. The author is obviously not an artist, since he seems to value intricate and detailed linework over form and appeal, holding all comic artists to that standard.

Granted, that kind of linework is simply not possible in a medium like animation, and is a perk of the comics medium, but not all comics need that.

Just sayin'.

I'm agreein'. The dude doesn't see the big picture, so to speak. Ah, the intartubes.
 
I have my own criticisms of his art, but it isn't that bad. But a lolcow doesn't have to be a bad artist to still be a lolcow. His art skill doesn't stop him from being a hypocritical douchebag white knight that throws bitchfits on Tumblr. Also his ideas for "improving" other people's works are garbage. (As a LoZ fan Clockwork Empire offends me for a number of reasons, and it ain't because of a playable Zelda)
