Added 2017-12-19 10:21:31 +0000 UTCSo i'm aware that people have been uploading everything i post to my patreon wall to a certain website. The initials of the post should be enough to make the people on that site know its them. I don't want to post the name of the site as its not very popular and i don't want to help promote a site that is ruining artists.
I won't lie when i re-opened my patreon i totally expected people to steal and re-upload things, so its really not bothered me too much. The site in question is still missing all the finished exclusive art (which i send out at the end of the month after payments) because i know the people that join my patreon to steal stuff won't pay a penny. It has all the sketches and art that i upload everywhere else. Even these text posts get posted to it which i hope this one does. I'm sure it will. Hi everyone~
I was made aware of this site thanks to another artist who also had all of their stuff stolen. A few of my other friends who use patreon too have appeared on there, which i've let them know and they are changing how they give out their rewards to prevent theft.
Heres the thing, patreon is just another place for me to post and somewhat generate income to support my little business. I don't hugely rely on it, although it really helps when commissions go a bit quiet, i'm sure you all understand. Naturally there are always others that want to spoil it for everyone, these guys are trying it with ... i think the majority of this site.
So $10+ patreons if people start harassing/asking you for image packs from me just please don't send them out, not like you guys did anyway i'm just covering all my bases here. ^_^
Yeah its a bit annoying, but nothing i'll be loosing sleep over. This is the internet i expect this blah blah blah.
Righty... I'm done now... Going to get back to drawing~ :3
