More leaks
Added 2022-03-29 15:52:22 +0000 UTCAs it turns out, someone just leaked every exclusive artwork to websites I don't recognize.
I don't know who it is, but I am sure he is one of my Patrons.
It's very disappointing.
I'm thinking hard right now if whether I'll change the tier rewards or not.

There is meta data on any digital image btw. I’m not suggesting a witch hunt necessarily, but you could definitely get some info from it

2022-03-31 01:32:46 +0000 UTCI think deviant art has a system like that. But obviously that doesn’t help This situation

2022-03-31 01:28:06 +0000 UTCI was thinking about that too.

2022-03-30 02:36:36 +0000 UTCOnly thing I could think of is not only having your water mark on it but also a water mark statement saying maybe something like this, "if you see this pic posted here instead of patreon its stolen." or something like that. Maybe if one person sees it and reports it something might happen.

2022-03-30 01:54:35 +0000 UTCI know it would be hard, but I really wish there was some sorta program to record saved images & tag where they go. Kinda like a breadcrumb trail back to the original source! really sorry & I hope you find who did it!

2022-03-30 01:35:33 +0000 UTCI’m really sorry for your exclusive art being exposed like that. Hope you find a way to make this safe as possible.

2022-03-30 00:33:41 +0000 UTCThank you 🙂 I'll try not to get this into my head or this might affect the quality of my works 😅
Pakwan008
2022-03-29 22:48:45 +0000 UTCI appreciate your support 🙂 My intention was to advertise my artworks on Furaffinity, Deviantart, and Twitter only. All other websites are from those who didn't asked permission from me.

2022-03-29 22:38:57 +0000 UTCThat is really unfortunate 🙁

2022-03-29 22:27:06 +0000 UTCI spotted your work on another site, and came here specifically to financially support you so that you can continue. If it wasn't for your art posted on other websites, I would never have found you.

2022-03-29 22:10:29 +0000 UTCMate I feel you, this is why I gave up on making art. Two of my works were taken and claimed as someone else's, luckily I had the image date stamp to prove otherwise. Friends have had their work put up on that displate site, the one that makes metal posters, without permission

2022-03-29 22:06:53 +0000 UTCI'm really sorry for you, it must be really hard on your morale, big support!

2022-03-29 17:14:19 +0000 UTCOf course one person has to ruin it for everyone else

2022-03-29 16:57:32 +0000 UTCI guess your right. But I think I have some ideas that will discourage the leakers. And thanks :)

2022-03-29 16:41:15 +0000 UTCit really sad to hear that those websites don t even care about art steeling. No matter what you change about the tiers, i ll still be following you

2022-03-29 16:37:19 +0000 UTCAw geez. That sucks.
SFaccountant
2022-03-29 16:22:33 +0000 UTCDon't worry. I'll leave the prices of each tier as it is. I'll only tweak the benefits and artwork watermarks.
Pakwan008
2022-03-29 16:16:33 +0000 UTCAll they get are likes and some attention.
Pakwan008
2022-03-29 16:13:15 +0000 UTCIt really is becoming hard to draw artworks nowadays with all this leak problems.
Pakwan008
2022-03-29 16:10:34 +0000 UTCIf it's a patron who leaked content, DM is useless ? People have no respect but you're not alone in this situation. If you can change tiers and I respect this decision but I don't know if I can follow.

2022-03-29 16:08:46 +0000 UTCThat’s annoying. I mean they don’t gain anything from that right? Did they just want to hurt you in any way or what? I don’t get it… Hope you find out who that is and that you can get the pics removed somehow
Sibbo
2022-03-29 16:07:18 +0000 UTCOh for God’s sake. I don’t get why people do this shit. You gain nothing but a moment of fame/infamy, and stand to cost everyone else a significant amount by forcing the artist you’re stealing from to lock their content down even harder.
Mark
2022-03-29 16:04:41 +0000 UTCthey should create some system for that so it's easier to find people like this

2022-03-29 16:03:19 +0000 UTCSadly, it's impossible.
Pakwan008
2022-03-29 16:00:41 +0000 UTCI already submitted complaints to the admins of the websites. But I'm not expecting good replies from them. And for your suggestion, I think it's a good one. Still, the leakers will post exclusive artworks even if it's low resolution. But I have an idea based on your suggestion 🙂.
Pakwan008
2022-03-29 16:00:04 +0000 UTCoh damn, that's really shitty, is there no way of tracking who posted it?
Grizzly Gus
2022-03-29 15:58:09 +0000 UTCThats just wrong :/
Avoa
2022-03-29 15:57:57 +0000 UTCBecause they wanted to have some attention by using other people's hard work.
Pakwan008
2022-03-29 15:55:34 +0000 UTCDepending on what website they’ve been posted to, you might contact the website admin’s to see about having the content taken down. The other option would be to send exclusive artworks out via DM at the end of each month. Doesn’t help with leaks a huge amount, but it does mean people probably need to stay onboard for a little while to get that month’s exclusives. Sorry you’re having to deal with this! There’s always a handful of dicks who feel like stealing from artists.

2022-03-29 15:55:04 +0000 UTCBro that’s shit. Why can’t people just like artwork and not post it without permission??
