Someone who have access to BA should tell him this. At least he can share the removed models and those which he no longer uses like Miriam, Skyla etc. Dumbass dude erased the best of his models like a joke..
Zero chance he actually nuked those models. They sold many copies, just how many sets did each "retired" model have.

He has the entire "deleted" models still on his HDD. Just waiting to relaunch them one day. Maybe a new hairstyle or outfit to spice things up.

Personally, I have no problem with AI for personal/private use.

If you want to share your AI stuff with other people, all the power to you. I love the AI stuff fans have made with Blackadder's works shared over in the fanart thread.

Where I draw the line (pun intended) is when people charge or make money off of AI art.

Art has value to me personally because it's something I cannot do on my own, or will not put the effort into doing myself. It's like paying a chef to cook you a meal you do not know how to make, or if you do know how to make it, wanting someone else to make it for you so you don't have to put that effort in.

The difference between me a traditional artist is vast. I'm okay at drawing and painting, always got As in school for the subjects, even in my college elective classes. But me vs a professional? No contest.

However, if the a painter or drawer and I were to use AI to produce the same thing? Our works would be at almost equal quality. Sure, the traditional artist can touch up the image better than me, and maybe have a better eye for what looks better aesthetically, but would I personally want to shell out money for the minute difference? No.

The difference between me and a 3D artist like Blackadder is even greater. I wouldn't even know where to begin trying to render a work that could rival his.

But his AI videos he's selling? I could probably do an about equal job, just like with the traditional artist. And even if his videos are better, I'm not willing to pay for the minute difference.

I haven't seen his AI stuff yet, nor do I have any real desire to. But I bet some of the stuff fans have already produced in the fan thread are better than what he's made, all for free compared to Blackadder's prices.

Greetings and respect to everyone. First of all, I am not against AI, and most people aren’t. We have supported AI helping fans create content for a long time. However, it is unnecessary for Blackadder—who is a professional artist—to stop producing real comics and instead create amateur, meaningless AI content.
  • Site restrictions and member bans: Many members have been unfairly blocked or restricted, despite no real solution being in place.
  • Pessimistic attitude toward fans: Blackadder often acts against his community and ignores fan feedback.
  • Long-running nonsensical comics: He has devoted time to meaningless characters and stories rather than the concepts fans actually wanted.
  • Deleted popular characters, added unnecessary ones: Beloved characters like Stacy and Mirriam were removed, while many irrelevant characters remain.
  • Poor anti-piracy approach: He responded to piracy by deleting content and banning users, which alienated his own fan base.
  • Unfinished promised works: Many projects and characters fans loved were never completed, replaced with content that didn’t resonate.
