The truth about what really happened...
🕑 Added 2020-07-30 14:25:02 +0000 UTCHi guys, I don't use to like to tell about my personal problems, I don't want to look like a victim either, but there is something I would like to report and I would also like you to know what is happening with me and why Patreon suspended my page temporally last week...
It all started more than six months ago when I started creating renders and sharing them with you on twitter, little by little I was improving the quality of my work thanks to your support, and many of you asked me if I had a page here on Patreon.
Finally two months ago I decided to open the page with an unexpected number of fans, I was very happy but not everyone was happy with this ...
I started receiving threats through my Devianart profile, (I keep receiving threats to this day) Many messages from fake accounts telling me that I must stop making art. I ignore all those messages of course, but I don't like receiving threats every day for doing something I like.
Why and who is threatening me?
The answer is very simple, "Competition" the world of renders is very cruel, many artists sell their art and they do not like it when a new artist (like me) appears selling similar art for less price. I think it is not fair that many artists do not want to give new artists the opportunity to share their art, I am a free person and I also have the right to share or sell my art however I want, some of you have sent me screenshots of two discord servers where some famous artists encourage their followers to report my content.
Now you know why they suspended my page last week, I received a massive number of reports to my page, obviously it is true that my page did not comply with the terms and new conditions of Patreon, but many of the pages of other artists don't do it either and have not been suspended because no one has reported them so far.
I am not going to mention what artists are involved, I have all the captures that you have sent me and I am sharing them with the Devianart team, I feel that none of this is fair, I just want to share my art with you and that everyone is happy, I always like to help other artists when they ask me for help. This is so sad, I am going through a very complicated situation personally, I lost my job because the covid, I am about to move to another country (if the covid lets me do it) my only income right now is thanks to your support.
It is not fair what is happening and I just wanted you to know the truth, I really appreciate all your support at this time. Thank you, thank you and thank you very much guys, you are the best!
And sorry for the drama guys. I will still posting and doing art for you! No matter where or how, I will continue posting my artwork!
