BA is really showing his limits by today's standards, he hard refuses basic requests, and throws you out if you haven't supported him in the past, I get it, but it really does show his abilities when he can create a 30 piece imageset yet can't customise the character models at his disposal, the most he does at the moment, is pretty much copy/paste the character of the month, rig up the lighting, poses, positions, scenery, and then hits render.
I'd love to see him pushing the boundaries of his own expertise and content, do what the rest have done and moved over to Blender, or Maya, Blender is so fucking easy to learn, and it's open source, and accepts all sorts of 3d file types, his own hubris and ego is stopping him from advancing like the rest.
Jackerman, as an example, moving to Blender was such a bold move on his part, his content was flagging, and it was showing, so he made the decision to move to Blender, and his renders, images, animations are so much better for it, Jackermans quality has increased tenfold IMHO because of it.
If Blackadder chooses to remain this stubborn and refuses to move with the times, then he won't be around in 6 - 8 months, which in terms of his content, isn't at all that long, as he's spent nearly two months supposedly working on commissions, whether they be a better source of income for him or just a way to bump up income, either way, he's an egotistical Ahole with a superiority complex, that unless he changes his way and adapts to the already changed market, Himself and his content probably won't be around by August, and if so, would be severely struggling.
ZZ2Tommy is a prime example here, had some of his content featured and up for sale on Affect3D, but didn't do anything new, just made the same copy/paste imagesets and eventually dropped it all together, there's cancelled imagesets, pre renders that never met their final stages due to poor customer reviews, and a failed imageset on a train with a 3D Natasha Romanov getting buttfucked by Black Panther with the Infinity Gauntlet led him to drop 3D Rendering entirely, as there hasn't been anything new since then, and that was years ago, his shit was so cash too.
Don't get me wrong, I love BA's content, I love the Miriam Character, I love what he does, but he can do so much more if stopped riding his own dick for 5 god damn minutes, and realise that people WILL leave him for far better, and definitely cheaper content creators, who can, and will create what the customer commissions, not only in a timely and professional manner, but at a standard far greater than BA is willing to produce, I may be slightly prejudice as he had refused a simple commission request of an outfit change and futa character: instead of putting in the effort to make the model work with parameters, he claimed it just wasn't available "on model" which is telling for me as it just shows he has limited knowledge on modelling and advanced rigging if a simple outfit change is too cumbersome, especially when he already has futa characters, and will only use said futa characters instead of making new ones as it's clear that's what the model comes with and he no idea how to attach a penis to a model.
I just wish he didn't always put himself on the backburner and actually apply himself to learning Blender, or just recognise that he's struggling in a market that has almost already left him behind.
IF, and or when he does decide to make the jump to Blender, guaranteed his workflow and pipeline will dramatically shorten, his quality will shoot up, and maybe we'd actually get some fucking animations instead of some third party cringe comics based off his image sets.
EDIT :
This is what BA said about his future:
Unfortunately sales did not pick up. Finding resources to continue putting content out in the same pace and amount will be even more difficult now. If this trend continues then I’m out.
Just saw this on his most recent release, home boy is already out. He's spent the last two months working commissions because income is low, throws out a quick image set afterwards claiming low sales, yet doesn't provide any info as to why, just a "buy this or I'm done" scenario.
He's out.
I implore everyone to check out other 3D Artists in a similar vein to BA, like Jackerman, Nyl2, Amazonium (Similar style to Nyl2), GeneralButch (If you like being cucked by large black men), IceDev, Rigid3D, Squarepeg3D, Rikolo, Weebu, RedApple2, TheTerribleFairy, SteveCarson, Janner3D.
to end this already long post, Blackeradder is capable of a lot more, but it seems he's willing to do so much less, almost the bare minimum to get what he wants, then complains it's everyone else's fault for not supporting him. People will not support shit, they will however support quality. I could go on for a lot longer, but I'll leave that for another post.
