Aqua - Konosuba (+ Announcements)
🕑 Added 2020-04-02 09:26:35 +0000 UTCI'm going to use this space to make a couple announcements;
In light of the recent wave of suspensions specifically targeting Japanese artists/artists with Japanese styles, I have created a pixivFANBOX as a precaution should Patreon ever deem my art to be in violation of their Community Guidelines.
pixivFANBOX is essentially the Japanese equivalent of Patreon. However, my current campaign setup (tip jar) posed a bit of an issue as tipping isn't really part of the culture there. I feel very strongly against pay-walling my artwork, so I had to think of something I could give as an 'exclusive reward' where the mass majority would feel indifferent if they didn't have access.
I thought my PSD project files fit the bill, so I will be attaching them again to every post.
My posts will be identical across both sites, though posts on pixivFANBOX will be censored (in accordance with Japanese law), so there's no need to migrate.
I'll continue to post on here, business as usual (unless I get suspended lol).
On a separate note, I've decided to drop my little signature/watermark I put in the corners. I've always felt it was a bit of an eyesore. Most people who repost my work credit me anyways. Even when they don't, I think people who are really interested in tracking down the source are savvy enough to use sites like Saucenao to find me.

Indeed. While their guidelines haven't changed, its interpretation has. Allegedly, they've gone as far as to consider ahegao as a depiction of a non-consensual sex act. I'm not too worried about it, but I feel that eventually Patreon may go the way of Tumblr and do a sweeping ban of NSFW content as it's given them a lot of headaches already trying to enforce their guidelines.

understandable. patreon has been kind of screwy as of late hasn't it?
