Got some concerning news today
Added 2015-08-30 12:17:30 +0000 UTCIt has come to my attention that the Patreon Dragon Rider files are being circulated, amongst the work of several hundred other furry artists. This means someone is saving the stuff I am posting and uploading it to other sites.
I knew this was a risk when I began the Patreon and so far it had been quite safe, I'm not a super popular furry artist so I wasn't expecting my stuff circulated like that.
I have gotten rid of the principal suspects of this so I think the piracy will stop, but still. Don't pirate my work guys! It will be available for free! Don't be impatient XD
And thank you to all of you who play by the rules and support my work, I really appreciate it!

I am sorry for the trouble those few have caused you here, I hope it is all for the better and the number of patrons you have doubles. :)
2015-08-31 09:07:38 +0000 UTCYeah it always seems you'll find people who just love to do unnecessary stuff like that, its something we all have to deal with unfortunately
2015-08-31 07:50:11 +0000 UTCOh yes, I know the vast majority of patrons are honest and sincere! Well maybe I'll gain more patrons from this um, unwanted publicity
2015-08-30 15:54:38 +0000 UTCSadly, there will always be a segment of the audience who take the attitude that all web content is theirs to distribute at will, regardless of the desires of the original artist. And the worst part is a part of those honestly just want to make sure the work gets a wider audience because they really like the content. At least this way you can still count on your regulars to continue their support.

2015-08-30 15:14:07 +0000 UTCTrue, there are ways to circumvent people ripping straight from Patreon but honestly? I find it to be such a hassle. What bothers me is that the comic is free for people to read, later sure, but it's posted FREE so I don't understand why go through all the trouble XD
2015-08-30 15:13:55 +0000 UTCIt's one thing I like about Patreon, if you post something online it's going to get circulated there's absolutely nothing you can do about it but at least this way its creators can still get support.

2015-08-30 15:08:25 +0000 UTCAnd i think you should be populer ^v^
2015-08-30 14:18:44 +0000 UTCThat sucks sadely some fools get a kick out of ruining other peoples hard work.
2015-08-30 14:18:19 +0000 UTCIndeed! no one really misses on anything
2015-08-30 14:05:50 +0000 UTCThat's always a bit disheartening to hear, especially when the content will be free if people just waited a bit.
