IMPORTANT: Patreon is downscaling images again. My entire archive has been affected.
🕑 Added 2019-06-27 04:27:26 +0000 UTCWhat's the problem?
I just noticed that the Liza artwork is a flipping 600 pixel preview. Checked the Aqua artwork, same deal, I checked works from a year ago, all downscaled to 600 pixels.
Patreon has downscaled posted artworks again. This time it seems permanent.
This seems to come with a whole can of new worms from the "pro features" that Patreon will be introducing in the coming days. This means I'll have to change the way rewards are distributed to patrons. The simplest and most efficient one is to make a batch on google drive for the works of June and future works onwards.
What happened to the previous works?
All rewards posted since the very beginning of my Patreon are ALL AFFECTED. Attachment feature is an option but It would take me literal days to attach every image separately to every patreon post I've made . So I will set up a Google drive for the current and last month rewards from here on out. Super old works will require a different option, as my archive is huge. I simply can't upload everything to a single Google Drive.
How will we get access to old works that were nuked by this update?
The Gumroad I've been talking about will have to be set up very, very soon. I know I said I would tell you with a headstart when I would set it up, but this came out of the blue with no warning at all and it seems like this only reliable way to get retro artworks from here on out. I apologize. I didn't think Patreon would downscale my entire archive. bows
What do we have access to now and what will be on Gumroad?
From this point forward, rewards from the "current and last" month will be accessible on the google drive and the Patreon attachment feature. Older rewards from April and before will eventually be consolidated on a Gumroad. I'll tell you guys when it's ready.
Most of you have been with me for a long time and likely have most if not all of my posted artworks, new patrons however will need a way to get older stuff should they be interested.
That's it for now. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. Patreon DIDN'T notify me or any other artist I know about this change. I'll retunr shortly with a link to the google drive which will include May and June rewards.
Apologies once again. Thanks for your support!
