Changes regarding mature content
Added 2018-06-08 20:21:16 +0000 UTCPatreon has changed their TOS to require all mature content be set to "patrons only." This is kind of a bummer because I've normally had all my nude variant pics available for free and starting today only patrons will be able to view them. I do not draw explicit art but I think Patreon will take issue with the fact that some of my art has female nipples and other semi-lewd content, and since I very much enjoy using this platform I must abide by their rules.
I will still keep posting my mature pics on E621 though because I have not moved in my position that my patreon is a platform through which my patrons can take an interactive role in my creative process, and get access to ultra-high def copies of my pics that I don't post anywhere else. I still have no plans on going with a "paywalled nudity" business model.
UPDATE:
Going forward I might elect to post nude variants of pics as separate posts so that I don't have to mark everything as "patrons only," but this will mean a lot more clutter on my page. The alternative is to just exclusively post that stuff on E621 but I don't like that idea because that site has porn ads and not everyone uses Adblock.

Yup. If the choice comes down to having to follow the rules and not being able to make money, I would rather follow the rules.
