Discord Update

NecDaz91

Thanks for being a friend, it definitely was a gut punch but I'm back and stronger than ever from it.

I understand man, it always sucks to see hard work get leaked online. I’m all for following you to a Discord server, even adding you on discord if you’re interested. Either way, sorry it had to come to this and all.

NecDaz91

Sure thing I'll pm you.

Big Olaf

Can I add you on Discord regardless? I'd like to, if that's okay

Do your thing Nec. You lead, we follow.

NecDaz91

I just hope everyone doesn't mind the new change too much. I know it can be rather inconvenient for some.

NecDaz91

Agreed, not 100 percent sure how I'll go about it yet but it's in the works. Possibly tomorrow the discord at least should be up.

This unfortunately happens. People are always going to leak it. So it's not a bad idea to find an alt. method to keep Patreon works from leaking.

NecDaz91

When i do I'll be sure to let you know all the details, I'll be trying my very best to do an outcome that works for everyone. Sorry again for any confusion.

NecDaz91

Nothings quite set in stone yet, still looking at possible options. I can't answer those questions until I actually go through with whatever change I decide.

It's so unfortunate how widespread this is...people leaking and publicly sharing exclusive content without regard to the time, effort, (and money) that artists invest in their work. It's such a shame that those people have no respect for you as the creator, because your art is truly special and deserving of all the love it gets ❤️ I totally understand and support your decision to use Discord to host and share your work, and I sincerely hope it will help reduce the amount of your art that is leaked. Plus, Discord also gives the artists and supporters an additional platform to connect and communicate! 😃

So, I'm a little confused about the process of how content will now be posted and how each individual will be be granted access. Will your patreon page still be available as a revenue stream for you and then access will be given to members? And how does this stop potential reposting?

NecDaz91

Yes that's the way I'm thinking as well, glad to hear you're on board with the idea of course <3

Sunnynaga

best of luck, the theft probably wont completely stop, but hopefully having a dedicated discord server of patrons might make people less inclined to post your pics elsewhere

NecDaz91

Thank you again for the support my friend <3

They don't think of the artist, they just think the art creates itself

NecDaz91

Well every time I see one of these jokers they all seem to play this victim card that boils down to artists stealing money from people using paywalls. I understand this mode of thinking, I've always been the underdog. The person that didn't have the new clothes at school. The poor kid. But without all you guys and your cherished support I wouldn't even be able to continue this stuff. That's the complete and utter irony of it all. They like my work and post it up on free sites, and in turn are damaging my business and set it up for potential failure.

I understand that, fine for me, so I will just wait for you to launch the discord server 💕

I can see how long it takes to get even one photo done let alone edit a model, they can support you if they want to see it so bad

NecDaz91

I read someone who was arguing for the sake of this and it completely baffled me last night. They went into this page-long paraphrased version of complete rubbish that narrowed down to "I don't care if you want compensated for your art and hard work, I want it for free and you can't stop us" In other words these people literally think they are on some form of moral high ground in this situation.

I completely get you man, some people are just spoiling everything
