More leaks
As it turns out, someone just leaked every exclusive artwork to websites I don't recognize.
I don't know who it is, but I am sure he is one of my Patrons.
It's very disappointing.
I'm thinking hard right now if whether I'll change the tier rewards or not.

Only thing I could think of is not only having your water mark on it but also a water mark statement saying maybe something like this, "if you see this pic posted here instead of patreon its stolen." or something like that. Maybe if one person sees it and reports it something might happen.
I was thinking about that too.
I know it would be hard, but I really wish there was some sorta program to record saved images & tag where they go. Kinda like a breadcrumb trail back to the original source! really sorry & I hope you find who did it!
I was hoping for it too.
I’m really sorry for your exclusive art being exposed like that. Hope you find a way to make this safe as possible.
I spotted your work on another site, and came here specifically to financially support you so that you can continue. If it wasn't for your art posted on other websites, I would never have found you.
I appreciate your support 🙂 My intention was to advertise my artworks on Furaffinity, Deviantart, and Twitter only. All other websites are from those who didn't asked permission from me.
Mate I feel you, this is why I gave up on making art. Two of my works were taken and claimed as someone else's, luckily I had the image date stamp to prove otherwise. Friends have had their work put up on that displate site, the one that makes metal posters, without permission
That is really unfortunate 🙁
I'm really sorry for you, it must be really hard on your morale, big support!
Thank you 🙂 I'll try not to get this into my head or this might affect the quality of my works 😅
Of course one person has to ruin it for everyone else
it really sad to hear that those websites don t even care about art steeling. No matter what you change about the tiers, i ll still be following you
I guess your right. But I think I have some ideas that will discourage the leakers. And thanks :)
Aw geez. That sucks.
If it's a patron who leaked content, DM is useless ? People have no respect but you're not alone in this situation. If you can change tiers and I respect this decision but I don't know if I can follow.
Don't worry. I'll leave the prices of each tier as it is. I'll only tweak the benefits and artwork watermarks.
Oh for God’s sake. I don’t get why people do this shit. You gain nothing but a moment of fame/infamy, and stand to cost everyone else a significant amount by forcing the artist you’re stealing from to lock their content down even harder.
It really is becoming hard to draw artworks nowadays with all this leak problems.
oh damn, that's really shitty, is there no way of tracking who posted it?
Sadly, it's impossible.
Thats just wrong :/
Depending on what website they’ve been posted to, you might contact the website admin’s to see about having the content taken down. The other option would be to send exclusive artworks out via DM at the end of each month. Doesn’t help with leaks a huge amount, but it does mean people probably need to stay onboard for a little while to get that month’s exclusives. Sorry you’re having to deal with this! There’s always a handful of dicks who feel like stealing from artists.
I already submitted complaints to the admins of the websites. But I'm not expecting good replies from them. And for your suggestion, I think it's a good one. Still, the leakers will post exclusive artworks even if it's low resolution. But I have an idea based on your suggestion 🙂.
Bro that’s shit. Why can’t people just like artwork and not post it without permission??
Because they wanted to have some attention by using other people's hard work.
