What happened about Nintendo!

Hello guys, I hope you are having a good start to the week, I am writing to you so you know why I removed the Zelda and Pokemon characters from my patreon, on Friday the 15th I received a DMCA suspension warning from Nintend0, where they alleged that I I was using their property and demanded to delete the newest drawing of Zelda, for this reason I decided to delete it, and from now on I will not draw anything that has to do with Nintendo, today the suspension was lifted because I complied with everything they asked of me, but Patreon was very clear, no policy violations or I could lose my account, for this reason I will not draw anything that has to do with Nintendo, I hope you understand, I'm glad to be back and there are still thousands of characters to draw, have a great week.

Not the Melony art works🥲😭

TheHunterr98

Anyway to get those drawings ? The main reason I signed up 😢

Lewis Rowland

For that reason I prefer not to sound like a victim, surely Nintend0 has its reasons, so the best thing I can do is step away and continue drawing for everyone safely.

Ara

I prefer not to play that, the benefit is almost zero, and the consequences are losing the Patreon account, which means not drawing anymore, mmm I think it's not worth it at all, thanks for your support!

Ara

Thank you very much for your words, I will continue creating content for a long time, thank you for your support

Ara

Corporate greed is a helluva thing. Condemn one person for creating ART (that isn’t even the exact same since you add on your own style to them) when thousands of others do it on a DAILY basis but don’t get any punishment or threats. Only the ones that they think are profiting from their character designs do. Probably also jealous because you can make the characters 10x more appealing (SFW and NSFW). Happy to see you aren’t letting it get you down and wanting to move on from Patreon though. Have a good night! 🙂

Could always do Nintendo characters but slightly off variants, names, and colors like everyone else.

Fan art law only protects you if you aren't charging money. The minute you are making money off of it, you are no longer protected by "fan art".

The Elven Chronicler

I mean it’s Nintendo. They’re well known for being abusive with their copyright claims for a long time now.

SanityPotion

You're under the fan art law, they should not be allowed to do that. Nintendo are assholes. Patreon is too for going along with it.

Jason Usher

Apparently I had very bad luck, but everything is fine now, all that remains is to continue drawing.

Ara

😢😢😢 Ty for you support mate

Ara

I've had a couple people who got around it by not naming the characters or properties like their comic Zelda's adventures became princess adventures

Nickolas lebeau

That suck all ur hard work 😢 😭

Boss3120

They really do fucking hate me, first melee now this #FuckNintendo

DeeCee

Totally understand the feeling, that's a lot of work, and many great drawings 😞 It's best for you to follow their rules. No need to worry, there are plenty of others characters waiting 😏 Also sure everyone will still support your drawings 🥹

King Crimson

I doubt it was actually Nintendo. Probably another one of those fake DMCAs that happen to creators everywhere every once in a while. It's a Patreon problem for sure since they are the ones that don't do their due diligence. Similar to how in Youtube anyone can just pretty much copyright strike videos. What a shame, those were my favorite ones too bah.

BoscotheDog

Wow Nintendo is super hardcore about recreating art...keep up your good art otherwise and glad you're not shut down!! 🔥

Deviance_Fox

It feels horrible to delete so many drawings that I spent a lot of time on, but I don't want to play the victim, Nintendo has its reasons, and I prefer to be someone serious and decent and stay away.

Ara

I'm sorry you couldn't, I had to delete them right away to avoid them closing my account, a thousand apologies.

Ara

Yeah it is, Thanks for you support!

Ara

Thank you so much!

Ara

Sad but Nintendo is known for having shit reactions. Really sad for Fire Emblem waifus, but no worries, there are plenty of others waifus 😏❤️

King Crimson

That's horrible, to avoid this type of situation I prefer to stay away from those characters, thank you for your support, seriously.

Ara

It's unfortunate, but totally understandable.

The Elven Chronicler

I will still continue drawing, nothing happens, thanks for your support.

Ara

Yes they were, but unfortunately I won't be able to draw them again, I prefer to continue drawing for you and maintain my account.

Ara

Your art is still awesome of course

Salvationbringer

Should have downloaded them when I had the chance

Harrison

Thank you very much for your support, that's how it will be, I will continue drawing as always, thank you very much!!

Ara

Everything is already solved, so I hope to continue drawing even if they are not characters from those franchises.

Ara

I think some people liked the idea of how Palutena was going, I didn't want to lose that, so I transformed it into yamato so they would have a second part, thank you for your support.

Ara

Nintendo is jealous of your power! No worries though, you do what you need to protect yourself. Also explains why Palutena is suddenly Yamato 😁

Glazdon

Nintendo don't fuck around, I heard some guy has to pay a crap ton of money cause he sold old games and Nintendosued him and won so he like in life time debt to them

Stalker

God I fucking hate Nintendo so much

CosmicChaos01

RIP. The Nintendo ones where always a hit.

TB0796

Glad to hear you got cleared and that you can continue to draw amazing characters that aren't Nintendo related, can't wait to see what you do next.

Grimm6

Nintendo is shit
