Need some verification, please
🕑 Added 2024-12-13 23:10:46 +0000 UTCApparently my last post of illustrations triggered some sort of alarm over at Patreon central because of the adult illustrations. They temporarily suspended me until I verified my identity (that's been done) and said they are marking my content as "over 18 only" which I am pretty sure I had already designated my content as such. In any case, I have not received much in the way of feedback from my post "Historical Intemperance Illustrations, which I posted in the early hours of 12/13/24. Can a few of let me know that you have been notified of this post and have been able to view it for me? Or was it just not that interesting?

That is why I post the illustrations seperately and put up a generic picture for the main illustration on the posts. You have to open the post in order to see the pictures (and now apparently have to click that you're over 18 as well). If the pictures are distracting, just don't open the posts.
Peter Kelly
I see your work in my minds eye. The pictures are a distraction for me! I love your writing that is where you draw on life to create life.

No issues
Robert MacMillan
No issues viewing it.

I did get asked to verify that I was 18 or older, when I clicked on link to illustrations. That was new. But no other issues
Al Steiner
Patreon is not really social media. Only my patrons can see the posts. There are some rather graphic arts available on the platform.
Steve Braden
What a truly fab story that is.
Steve Braden
Saw them. No issues. Interesting that AI images are being flagged
Jeff Morgan
I saw them, they were great!
Jack Andrews
No issues seeing that post two days ago, or now.

Guy's my other half says I have been past 50 so many years, but I think... 25+??? ehh...

I now have to verify I'm 18+ and want to see 18+ material when I go to your page. It prompts me again after I log off, log back in, and go to your Patreon page again. But I'm surprised that Patreon is tolerant of hoo-hoo pics. Most social media bans that stuff. I'm sure Kim must be experimenting with producing AI porn as I write this. :-)

I was notified. Unfortunately Ive been binge reading Greenies for the last couple days and have ignored other life. Yes patron did throw up an are you over 18 box.

I really like the pictures, also the adult ones :) Since they are not integrated in the chapters yet, they are only slightly interfering with the way the characters look in my mind. Can't say that I noticed any specific warning about adult content for your page recently but i tend to ignore them or just confirm my age.
Jose Santos
Great illustrations, can see both text and illustrations
Artulo
Can see both your text and the illustrations.
Dan Schlangen
Hot stuff!
Robert Gibson
Haven’t received any other warning than yours. Have seen other comments by authors on SOL reporting Patreon difficulties. Cheers
Lawrence David Thompson
I saw them posted, but I've not had the time to go through them. I will soon.
Kim Biel-Nielsen
Saw them -amazing
Jason C Freedman
Great pictures - thanks!
Milton S Dosie
I have enjoyed the images. It is nice to see how you see the characters.
Donald McLean
I pay pretty much zero attention to the pictures. Unless there's a graphic novel in the same universe (Rivers of London for example) they just aren't that interesting.
Grigory Tsapp
Great work. Love it!
Joe Downey
Got it
Greg Bonner
Got it. No problems.
Darryl Graney
They reach Australia all right and I really enjoy them. Thank you for them and of course the story.
Bob Noone
Have been able to see them. Enjoying them. Keep up the good work! Did not get an age message.
Eric
Yeah, I just got the warning but then got right in.
Duke OfOmnium
When I loaded the page, it was all blurry. I thought it was a cataract at first, then I saw a pop-up box to verify my age. No cataracts yet.
Jimmy C
I had to click I was over 18 then it let me view them. When I first received the email I could view them without telling them I was that old.
Matt K
Hi Al, I got the email notification about your Historical Intemperance Illustrations at 5pm my time, I did not have time to look at them until now. I was already logged into Patreon, but when I refreshed your page I had a pop-up with: "Are you 18 years or older? By continuing you may see adult images, videos, writing, and other media. You can change your 18+ preferences in Settings." But just like you I'm pretty sure you were always listed as 18+ so I have no idea why Patreon suddenly panicked.
Steve Chance
Works fine for me.
Garmeister
Yes, was verified and can see the picture posts. Also, nice to see what’s in the author’s mind when writing about the characters.
Michael A Bodin
Just logged in and was notified. Great work
Lawson
Doing fine. Saw the post and liked the illustrations.
TexanInParis
I got them - great work. Adds to our enjoyment of the story.
DEHidding
Viewed, no issues.
Piet Poos
Well, I saw the images today, got no sort of warning and to be honest saw little reason to be warned about. The images were sexy but not more than that.
Al Steiner
Okay. And now I'm getting comments about it. It must have shut me down for a bit while it was waiting for me to verify my identity. Again, my stuff was already listed as over 18 only since the moment I signed up for Patreon. That is why I don't show up in a simple search from the Patreon home page. Thank you to all who have responded.
Paul Mueller
I viewed it. No problem at all. I'm 75 and hope to see the Intemperance saga to it's eventual conclusion. Extremely well plotted and written, consistent and believable. Please don't rush to the ending!!
Al Steiner
I think I might be the perfect person to use the program. What I have found is that to succeed with it you have to be able to explain something in words to a complete moron. That is what I have spent a good part of the past 30 years of my life doing as a medic and ER nurse. It helps to be able to find multiple ways to describe something. I had to finally get Photoshop to help out because of the picture of young Laura about to get it on with Jake the first time. It would not make her bush anything but black no matter how many ways I came up with to describe a simple natural red patch of pubic hair. Photoshop finally helped me actually change the hair color down there.
Russ Wideman
All good here Al…
Randall Brewer
Yes I can see the post no problem. I really enjoy these images and hope you will continue to post them. You're doing great, don't change a thing.
mdapkins
I'm here more for the story than the images, so I tend to just skip those posts. I have nothing against them, and if you like making them you should continue by all means, but they aren't something I feel I really need to enjoy the story.
Tim Blackington
I saw it too. Thanks for doing this, Al - the characters aren’t exactly the way I pictured them, but I’m delighted to see how you picture them.
Alison Hiltabidle
add me to the list. I got the notification and was able to see the pics.
Rich Collins
I've been able to see all of them and have not seen any warning messages. As for the content, I enjoy seeing it because I use some art ais. I like to see what real people who aren't dousing their output with post processing can come up with. I have yet to find the sweetspot with artspace.ai that you have hit, but I'm getting there.
John
I did receive the email last night and can get the pictures. Just didn't comment because I"m always a little behind. Cool to see your images of everybody!
Al Steiner
Cool. Thanks everyone. I guess it just wasn't that interesting.
Terry Lacy
I was able to view all of the images.
Victor
I can view the Historical post and appreciate the illustrations.
Paul V
I’ve seen it, was notified, but honestly am not that interested. AI art isn’t my thing
Pieter Offers
Seen it
SteveZ
Yes, I received the notification and can view the pictures
Chris Bailey
Yeah I got the notification
IrishMan91
I can see this post and the one from early
JC
yes I was notified and can view it!
