"Where do I find everything!?"
🕑 Added 2025-06-03 21:36:03 +0000 UTC>>> GODWIN3D.CATBOX.CLOUD <<<
The infosheet above has a quick version of all the contents of this post, but read on to find out more about how to sign in, how the Catbox is organized, troubleshooting tips for known Catbox issues, and an explanation for what Catbox is and why I'm using it!
--------------------
"How do I access Catbox?"
Using the link above, you just need to sign in with your existing Patreon or SubscribeStar account with an Active Subscription of $5 or More. You do not need to create any new accounts, it does not charge you anything, and all the site does is use that information to confirm your pledge status!
--------------------
"I tried signing in, but it gives me an error/says I'm not subscribed"
Make sure you are signing in to catbox using the same browser you are signed into Patreon with. If you are using the mobile app, sign in to Patreon on a browser first, and then sign in to catbox.
--------------------
"How do I find everything?"
First, right off the bat, if you're looking for something brand-new - "Current Month" is where you can always immediately find it! Comics will be added as .zip files, and everything else will just be loose.
To get further into how things are organized, everything of mine has been uploaded in two ways to the Catbox.cloud link above - so you can either view it online, or download it.
First, for viewing online
There are 2 types of folders - Series Folders and Comic Folders.
For Non-Comic/One-Off pictures, they are put in their respective series folder, ie: "Cyberpunk 2077".
For Comics, each comic has it's own individual folder, ie: "CP2077 - 'V & Jackie Become Chooms' Comic" to make it easier to just view that comic the way it's intended. For these folders there's no way to add a sub-folder, so the way I've organized the pages is that the actual comic is first - then a divider - then the non-captioned versions and any outtakes go after that.
You can see what the layout looks like here to get a better idea of what I'm trying to explain.
Note: Newly created folders automatically get put at the end of the list and will be on the last page - the site is new and I can't re-order folders yet. This is expected to be added in a future update at which point I'll organize things better.
Secondly, for downloading
There are two folders to note:
1. "Main Archive (Pre-June 2025)" contains ALL my work up to June 2025, organized by series, in individual .zip archives so you can download what you want without having to download everything.
2. "20xx Monthly Zips" - At the start of every month I compile everything from the previous month into a .zip and upload it in this folder.
------------------
"I signed in but Catbox is empty!"
There is an uncommon issue with a very small number of accounts who subscribed and then immediately cancelled.
As far as I can tell, Patreon occasionally wigs out for some reason and there seems to be some behind-the-scenes hiccup where, when signing in to Catbox, the Patreon API tells Catbox that the account is marked as "Free" and not "Paid" even when it is.
The solution to this issue is to re-activate your subscription (this will not cost you anything, it doesn't charge you twice) and then cancel your subscription at a later time before your renewal.
"No, the page won't load at all - I can't even sign in, it's just blank!"
If you're trying to go to the Catbox page and the page simply doesn't load at all, make sure you're using one of the common browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc). I don't believe it is compatible with more niche options, including Opera. If you're on mobile, try Viewing as Desktop as well.

"What is Catbox.Cloud?"
It is a hosting service I've set up to primarily protect my work from being scraped and leaked. It requires you to sign in with your existing Patreon or SubscribeStar account and all it does is use API to verify your pledge is currently active! You don't need to sign up for it or anything and it doesn't have any access to anything beyond just checking your status!
-----------------
"Why is Catbox.Cloud?"
Well Drax, unfortunately there are shitty websites that allow some shitty people to automate ripping and leaking artist's work without any effort. While I know and accept that some levels of piracy is inevitable, traditionally this required people to actually put in time and effort and while it sucks, it's just how things are. Scrapers, however, are automated and that's where I draw the line. I know the added steps are annoying, and I sincerely wish I didn't have to take extra steps to protect my work and the value of early access to my work - which brings me to my final reason.
I've always tried to balance exclusivity with sharing as much for public as possible in a relatively reasonable amount of time. I'm not an artist who squirrels away all their art and paywalls for the sake of paywalling - I want as many people as possible to see it. But with that said, this is my main source of income, and that means I need to provide value and incentive for subs, which I primarily rely on Early Access and Alts/Extra pages that I don't otherwise post. In short, I take it personally that despite my efforts to be fair and reasonable that people would automate ripping off my work that way.
If you have any questions or need help, please DM me! I'm happy to assist any way I can.

i reuploaded it, there should only be 3 files in that zip. if it continues to be an issue let me know and in the meantime just pull them from their posts here on patreon.

Thank you so much for this. Getting all your stuff was a mess before hand. However, I am getting some missing files for the Elden Ring folder. UPDATE: After downloading it all, you have like 70% of your art missing. My archive if yours is 16gb, this is less than half of that.

Awesome! Agree with Hardmode very painless and well organized. The site works great and I was able to download everything smoothly.
Hardmode NRG
that’s awesome news! The login/verification process is painless and I get a nice broad overview of your backlogged works, all organized in nice simple franchise folders :) I picked the right time to join! XD
