Stolen art and thieves
Hi, guys!
Once again, I was faced with my art thieves.
My dear and respected patron told me that he had seen person in the internet, which posted the stolen art.
I found this person on Patreon - @hnti .
He follow for me and on other sites.
I can not contact him. I hope he will read this post and if he is not guilty, then say so. Maybe it's a misunderstanding, and one and the same nickname is a coincidence.
Many artists are faced with thieves. Thieves have stolen the image and posted on the Internet and this is very harmful to the work that the artist does. The artist loses money, loses the motivation and desire to create. After all, he does not get the money, the thief steals his work. This has already happened with the artist, who stopped to draw a NSFW picture and now draws only tutorial. It is very sad :(
Friends, if you see a thief, which puts my art or art of another artist, please report the theft at this site:

He has helped me! My gallery with stolen pictures had been removed. But thieves don't leave me alone. Together we can fight back these scoundrels! Thieves is the trouble of contemporary artists!

I hope that for your benefit the pilfered art only serves to give some honest people a preview to your talent and brings you more patrons. :) Sadly, that's the only good that can come of it.
Thank you! Yes, I will regard it as an advertisement :)
I really don't get the logic, like what do they even get from doing that? Like is their life so sad that literally that 2 seconds of internet fame makes them throw away their owns moneys worth? It just makes no sense.
I agree with you! (hug)
If anyone's given Prywinko's art to friends after receiving monthly rewards I urge you to come forward and be honest about it. The uploader had to have gotten those from somewhere.
You're right! You can show my art friends, or print yourself a t-shirt, poster. Its OK! But to share the Internet - it's bad ((( By the way it is written in the rules of Patreon. Punishment - Account blocking!
One thing I can speak from "experience" is, the thieves will "never" use the same usernames ... and they will always use the usernames of their "enemies" or people they dislike elsewhere to make a thief-account.
Dear, I agree with you. So I would agree that he can be used !
I will continue my patrols.
Yeah. It's people like this that are why things had to be complicated with gumroad and restricted previous rewards. I haven't been watching reddit as closely as of late but I'm glad I caught it and was able to inform you before it escalated out of control.
Thank you so much my dear! Love you! (hug)
