Stolen Work
🕑 Added 2019-06-21 06:34:26 +0000 UTCOk... so one of my fellow patrons have betrayed me. I have found one of my Patreon exclusive animations on another website with the help of trustworthy member. I doubt this is the only site my content is being shared on...
It's not like I'm doing this solely for the money guys, but I want you (especially you the patron that posted my work if you're still here) to know, that I cannot continue to make this art without support. I won't have time, or the funds. I'm a very humble artist and I know what it's like to slave away at a job you do not enjoy.
If my art keeps getting shared and it hurts my business, I'll have to quit this gig and go into my warehouse job full time. I don't want that trust me. I want to keep making art for all of you wonderful folk.
I know this is the internet and what I'm asking is pretty much impossible, work gets shared all the time it's just the way of things. So to all my loyal supporters on here if you could please notify me if you see my work for free on a site, it will help me tremendously.
Much love guys, and sorry for a simple text update.

Sadly this is a normal thing. You get popular, expect piracy. Im just happy I have a dedicated fans to support me.

It's OK it's water under the bridge at this point. It'd be silly of me to think stuff wouldn't get stolen. I'm just glad to have supporters who have my back <3

Yea I'm doing fine, just a little under the weather at the moment ^^

Thank you my friend it means a lot to hear you say that.

Yes I did that it was already swiftly removed by the kind admin of the site :) I guess I'm just more hurt than anything by it. Even if it was expected.
We got you covered.

damn thats awful to hear. what you can do is to contact that website and let them know that your work has been posted there without your permission and request it to be immediately removed. Although this isnt a long-term solution (there probably isnt any) but hopefully it will at least mitigate some damage.

that's sad and that is real life, just look at it on good side, more people will know you (but I know it is not good:(( )

Jesus! That was scummy of them. I hope you're okay there? :(
NecDaz91
Haven't the slightest idea, but I don't even want to know to be honest. I just hope if they are still here they realize the damage it causes now.

Any idea who it was?
Of course! Always :)

It does, but I knew this would happen at some point. It doesn't phase my motivation in the slightest, if anything it just fires me up more. Don't let this post get you down I just wanted to raise a little awareness, I know you guys are awesome and got my back <3.
That sucks man. At least you have the trustworthy patrons to back you up.
:(
