BlackJrXIII Animation, Artist, And Future Work Discussion (NSFW)

I’m not that surprised he seems to have, once again, forgot to remove that tier, though I will admit, I am disappointed that the TempestLight pair won instead of the other pairings on the poll.

@EPPony
 
Who else was on the pull?

@Darktailsko  
Sunshine Smiles and, her sister, Moonlight Raven.  
Pear Butter and Cookie Crumbles  
and Nurse Redheart and Cheerilee.
 
Edit: Here’s the ponies who are on the pinup picture poll also:
 
Sunshine Smiles and Moonlight Raven  
Pear Butter  
Juniper Montage  
Sunswirl (Sunbrust’s Mother)  
Cookie Crumbles  
Mercury (the crystal pony mailmare)

@EPPony
 
Oh I’d love to see Juniper Montage. ^^ And Nurse Redheart/Cheerilee.

@Darktailsko  
Personally, I wouldn’t have minded if either Pear Butter, Sunswirl or Sunshine and her sister won the poll, sadly, that didn’t happen.

Well it looks like Black is now “officially” ending the $40 tier and basically everyone in the comments is thanking him for it. Now lets see if he follows through. Moreover, alot of his animations desperately needed cumshots especially that Twilight X tempest shadow loop, back in the day Black would go crazy if that animation did no have a cumshot, now all he posts in cumless animation for long periods of time.
 
Funny I was looking at his original goal on patreon when he first started $250 and he would work on predominately 2-5 minute long animations. We are now getting close to $3600 a month and all he posts are short loops.

@Background Pony #2D5D  
I hope he follows up on that myself, plus, I wish he’d full fill that too.

@Background Pony #2D5D
 
I think it’s possible he got so flooded with projects he barely has time to make them long, or even finish them. I mean between Overwatch, MLP, and the usual oddities, he really needs to drop a few and focus on just a couple at a time.

@Darktailsko
 
 
Yep in terms of actual finished projects both human and MLP, its been his worst year.
 
Basically this entire year consisted of short loops, random ideas, and his $40 commission tier along with teasers to unfinished projects he said he would do but did not. Not talking with his patreons directly for over a year doe snot help either.

@EPPony
 
 
Good news and bad news from blacks latest post.
 
Good news the $40 tier is officially gone, it no longer part of the rewards which means he can get more work done on backlogged projects. Also he has not brought up a poll for this month which means he is solely working on commissions, and other backlogged animations.
 
Bad news, He decided yet again to make the Christmas special human related even though last year was human as well. It also has a cumshot which is a smack in the face to all of his MLP fans who have yet to see an MLP animation with cumshot. Also he plans no MLP based animation for Christmas. However many people in the comments are asking him to do an MLP animation that has been in the works instead of an actual Christmas themed one.
 
 
In the end we can hope by the end of the year he at least has one finished MLP project for us even if it is not Christmas themed. At least finish the Shy Home Movies.

@Background Pony #2B64  
I really hope he manages to clear up his back log and he said he doesn’t think he’ll have time for an MLP one due to the commissions backlog.
 
Fingers cross that he manages to do one, even if it’s just a solo one.

@EPPony
 
 
Honestly I rather him focus on long animations. A solo animation will just be a short loop like usual and wastes valuable time on other animation.
 
He needs to finish one MLP projects at least to finish off 2017. This year has been horrible in terms of actual things getting done and has been plagued by short loops and random ideas on blacks part. In terms of cumshot animations even in terms of short loops humans got priority. He also has not talked to us in the comments in a long time basically ignoring us.
 
I am glad he ended that $40 and I hope he does not bring up a poll for this month and just focus on commissions and other backlogged stuff. I mean even if we dont get an MLP animation at the end of the year, he will at least finished a ton of commissions and backlogged stuff so than by the time 2018 comes we may get a ton of MLP projects done. Lets hope black pulls though because he basically gave the middle single his largest base this year

@Background Pony #2B64  
Yeah, if anything, I hope he at least puts some focus on the commissions and animations he has owed for a long time too (like the Shy Home Movies and CMC V-Day animation).

@EPPony
 
 
Wow you are getting alot of pissed off people not only in the comments on patreon, but people on derpibooru as well not in this thread but all over blacks works. I wonder if he sees them?

@Background Pony #2B64  
I honestly don’t really know if he looks at them, to be honest.

@EPPony
 
Quote from black when starting a patreon back in 2015 for his first $100 goal
 
“I will spend more time focusing on animations that are 3 to 5 minutes instead of just 6-10 second loops.”
 
 
Now makes $3400 more than that and now that’s all he does is short loops and a ton of human animations.
 
Black was good up until middle of 2016 then he had a bunch of random ideas, stopped responding to comments directly, delayed raffle winners projects, and the worst of the all the $40 tier commissions
 
 
Since then the entire year has consisted of random loops and tons of human animations and procrastination on black part.
 
The $40 tier he finally ended, lets hope 2018 will bring actual animations, and he never brings back that stupid tier again.

@Background Pony #0E20  
I do hope he does away with it entirely after this and finishes up his older animations too.

Over a week and no updates :( Hope black plans something MLP related for Christmas even if its not Christmas themed. Updates or previews would be nice

@EPPony
 
Welp Christmas is upon us and almost two weeks since his last update. Hoping black surprises us with a finished MLP project even if its not Christmas themed. Not holding my breath though :(

@Background Pony #2B64  
Yeah, I’m not expecting much for Christmas, to be honest.

I don’t understand why anyone still expects anything from Blackjr tbh.  
Also many artists find MLP and they love it to bits for some time… And then they don’t. Happened with my favourite musician of the fandom.
 
I’m thinking that maybe Blackjr lost interest in ponies and returns to his old self. It’s sad that most of his supporters are bronies, sure, and it feels like he should be doing ponies to satisfy most of his fans… But in the end he shouldn’t be forced to do something he has no interest in.
 
I would stop supporting Blackjr and support the newer, “upcoming” sfm artists like ScrewingwithSFM and Hooves-Art… Their work looks better and better with each piece and they don’t (or almost don’t) do the weird twisty limbs that cave in … like the wrists and thighs.

@coolycool
 
 
He has not really stopped making pony animations. The reason why there is so much human stuff lately is because most of his $40 commission short loops happened to be human fans. The long and short raffle winner from a year ago that he finally is just finishing up are human fans.
 
He has been posting pony animation, and like a patreon said in the comments, its not really the lack on pony content, its the lack of long animations in favor of short loops and that goes for his human animations too. We only had a couple long animations this year, the entire rest of the yea has been plagued by delays from that $40 tier which thankfully he ended.

@Background Pony #2B64  
Hm… Fair enough.

Black just posted his major first animation of the year. Sadly its human and its frozen themed again. Boring dull and overused human crap. No love for MLP fans despite doing a human animation the year before. Hoping 2018 will being actual long mlp animations.

@EPPony
 
He posted a human poll> Did he mention anything regarding other animations. I’m not $5 tier so I cant see.
 
Also you know what this means. 2 short loops because the pin up set poll also includes animations. Which means more time taken away from more important projects as usual.
