Finally Finished, and PATREON NEWS!
Added 2017-10-19 09:43:36 +0000 UTCFirst, I finally finsihed this Mark comic I've been sitting on forever. Yeah!
Second, Patreon is . . . Changing. It seems that certain kinds of material like incest and bestiality are now against the Terms of Service, and posting any related materials can result in an account getting banned. It is no longer enough to mark your page as "Adult" and to hide all your images under "Patrons Only," which is what I've been doing. Apparently Patreon doesn't want certain kinds of things on their site, period, end of story.
I can't let that happen to me. I can't. I've kind of become dependent on Patreon and I don't want to have to reorganize somewhere else. There's also a weird stipulation that creators can't 'offer' pornographic materials as a reward for pledges, which means that my entire tier structure may need to get reworded, although I won't be posting them on Patreon anymore, so whatever.
Here's the deal. Just to be safe, I'm only going to post a FEW things on Patreon. Links to Caches for Knights and above, as well as my polls that I do every other day or so. However, most of my art is getting posted off site, like on my Tumblr or HF, and I think it's fine to post a link to them. I can get away with this comic because it's only sexual material is a drawing of a vagina.
The truth is that I don't know what's going to happen. Patreon is being super vague about what will and what won't get your account banned, and they have no policy about warnings or opportunists to self-edit like even Deviant Art does. I'm going to play it safe for a couple months and post elsewhere, but I'll always provide the link to Tumblr or whatever. I have taken down some images that I thought may have brushed a line, and I may take down more in the future, but I don't think most of you are scrolling down for old images anyway.
Feel free to ask me any questions, although I don't have many answers. Please DO NOT contact Patreon customer support or anything stupid like that to complain and draw undue scrutiny onto me. Don't rock the boat, just go with the flow.

I did read that, yeah
2017-10-22 02:37:21 +0000 UTCno disrespect, jut I'd advise against hatreon. it has a bit of a... reputation. think Richard Spencer taking a straight shot of /POL/ to the heart.

2017-10-21 16:01:26 +0000 UTCI'm just playing around with style. There was a time where I was bored with Mark and thought of transitioning Cadence into being a solo character, which if I did, she'd be more of a magical-princess paladin character, with a sword and shield, who rids the world of demons and monster, while also getting fucked by them. I'll draw Cadence as a cleric again next time, but i like the idea that her clothes change with the region she's in.
2017-10-19 23:32:12 +0000 UTCI'm going to do the links thing for now and feature less on Patreon, just to be safe. I'll look into Hatreon, and maybe set one up as a possible transition. I've literally never heard of it before your comment.
2017-10-19 23:30:07 +0000 UTCI know :(
2017-10-19 23:29:20 +0000 UTCNot to downplay the severity of politics on a jump starter website, but i have to say while I really enjoy the humor and art, one thing bothers me. For as long as I've known, Cadence has always been a cleric/priestess, yet this pic seems to depict her as a paladin (the hammer and bikini armour being dead giveaways, especially if compared to your other Paladin character pics). What's with that?

2017-10-19 21:56:42 +0000 UTCHave you considered moving to the HATREON service? It takes less and so far seems to have been created for artists like yourself and other people creating what is 'according to society' questionable material <a href="https://hatreon.us/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://hatreon.us/</a>

2017-10-19 21:50:37 +0000 UTCI will. On Tumblr, and on a drive I'm slowly constructing. I'm just going to be really picky about what gets put on Patreon. I'll provide links when i don't.
2017-10-19 21:24:17 +0000 UTCYeah, I know. Those artists just got the rug pulled out from under them
2017-10-19 21:23:35 +0000 UTCMark!!!! just found out they updated the terms of service/the trust and safety. They are cracking down on adult content more!

2017-10-19 18:04:13 +0000 UTCActually you can do what Garobotz does and put your content in dropboxes

2017-10-19 17:02:55 +0000 UTCFor now, this just means things have to be reworded. Incest and bestiality will strictly have to go offsite. It's easy enough to maneuver around. Its just the vagueness that can be iffy. For now, you just have to play their game.
2017-10-19 14:28:29 +0000 UTCSo you should retrain your art ? no monsters, incest etc ...

2017-10-19 12:21:48 +0000 UTCParticularly when you take into account that some of the biggest projects on this site are porn dealing with Beast and Monster Girl content.

2017-10-19 12:04:21 +0000 UTCThat's what I'm afraid of.
2017-10-19 11:31:45 +0000 UTCReally Patreon is doing something stupid as that sheesh no problems all years and now suddenly this, way to lose clients in mine opinion.

2017-10-19 11:22:07 +0000 UTCGreat piece, and yes things read a bit extreme on the Patreon site. I think is wise not calling attention on yourself. The rewards sound more about sexual favors or the like, so hopefully it will not cause any problems.
