A rant on editing my work, reposts, theft, etc
🕑 Added 2022-01-27 18:15:52 +0000 UTCHi! I hope everyone is having a great month.
I usually don't post things like this too much, but this will be a bit of a rant, and the tldr is in the title!
There have been a few people who have been taking my patreon-exclusive art, and making edits of them and posting them online. Please understand that editing my art in anyway is not okay, and I am really really persistent in protecting my work and taking down edits. Also, it is very easy to track down who is doing the editing and posting, even if you try to post anonymously.
Please do not repost the files that I upload to patreon.
Please do not edit any of my art.
It's absolutely okay to use the art for personal use, for your profile picture, header, anything like that. What I'm talking about is taking the few patreon-exclusive content that I upload, and giving free access to anyone on the internet by reposting them somewhere.
Thanks for reading, and thank you to everyone who is always supportive and understanding!

That's disrespectful! Hope you're able to put a stop to this, because your work is amazing and it doesn't sit right with me that someone else is reposting the art you work so hard on.

It's really too bad some users do this dirty trick to you, we know the effort you put into your illustrations and even more so the exclusives of this platform, it's not fair that a random idiot takes advantage of your exclusive work and publishes it on other networks. hopefully in the future patreon better security options to protect both your work and the other artists who receive support on this platform
