Update : Received DMCA Takedown
Added 2021-02-01 15:30:21 +0000 UTCThis morning i received a notice from patreon staff, informing me my page is outside of patreon's community guidelines. They received a copyright claim from Nintendo, and have listed 578 posts are being outside of the bounds.
I'm going to work with patreon to rectify this situation, so, mind the dust while i get this straightened out.
Thank you in advance!

How about just post it on Discord/ Pixiv fanbox, I guess fanbox is much safer than here

2021-02-08 19:48:44 +0000 UTCI enjoy seeing your artwork and comics whenever they come out. If you have to switch to another platform or end up having to make your designs more visually distinct from the standard pokemon designs, please know you'll still have my support and I'm certain the support of most of your fans.

2021-02-02 09:40:44 +0000 UTCWhatever happens if you end up moving to a different site, I'll follow you there to support you. You have been such an awesome artist and a cool one at that

2021-02-02 04:40:51 +0000 UTCEven abbreviations aren't safe now? I knew this might happen eventually but I am sure you will find a workaround! I also hope this does not dissuade you from keeping up the awesome work!!

2021-02-02 00:55:57 +0000 UTCI really really hope there is some sort of way to work around this situation. I think your Pokémon content is somehow very... wholesome? Nostalgic? I don't really know how to put it into words, but there's something that's really great and heartwarming about it. I mean, it's more than just lewd art, at least it feels that way to me. I imagine it has to be your passion and true love for the franchise that makes it special. It will be hard letting go...

2021-02-01 21:46:50 +0000 UTCWell, looks like I somehow foresaw the shit coming... remember our conversation on Twitter. A cruel coincidence. It's real bad news. I pray for the best, and no matter what comes next I hope you will still be able to draw what you love, what we love. And make a living out of it... one way or another.

2021-02-01 21:37:18 +0000 UTCWe're here for you Tom.

2021-02-01 21:09:41 +0000 UTCWell uh, on the bright side, you've become so prolific and skilled as an Artist that even Nintendo has noticed you? Still, hopefully this can be resolved. There's no grounds for this.

2021-02-01 19:37:11 +0000 UTCEither that or move to Subscribestar where it have more freedom of content. The down side is that it don't accept Paypal.

2021-02-01 19:28:55 +0000 UTCAnother Pokemon artist got take down it seem. It will be better if you post art somewhere else instead directly on Patreon. Something like Discord. Because Patreon have a bot that can set up role so only paid patron can gain access to it.
Vavacung
2021-02-01 19:25:41 +0000 UTCI figure it was only a matter of time... If you need to move your content off to another site, I promise you I'll be right there with you from day one, and probably upgrading my pledge further to compensate for the loss of backers.

2021-02-01 19:23:57 +0000 UTC...chu...first Milachu now Chu...i'm so sorry buddy hope chu can work this out somehow~ ;w;

2021-02-01 18:10:38 +0000 UTCAh, god dammit, not this shit again. Hopefully you can figure something out.
Chobin
2021-02-01 17:52:32 +0000 UTCIf he moves everything over to Discord he'll need to be very careful about where he provides the link because Patreon staff will still shut you down for having 'rule breaking content' off site, as well. So he'd basically have to provide everyone individual, expiring discord links to make absolutely sure that Patreon staff doesn't sniff through every possible thing he's associated with to find a single bit of 'out of place' material.
Chobin
2021-02-01 17:51:43 +0000 UTCWhelp, just downloaded it all. This is such bad news, I hope you're doing ok mentally and that it can be sorted out, your Pokémon art is the best out there. Best of luck!!
Tao Bolton
2021-02-01 17:43:33 +0000 UTCGood Luck but it might be wise to switch the content they listed to something like primeleap, there's a few other artists I follow that use this to upload their work to and then post a link to it on here.
2021-02-01 17:40:58 +0000 UTCGood luck try and stay sain

2021-02-01 17:09:06 +0000 UTCI believe it has happened before a believe where someone sent a bunch of false DMCAs as Nintendo here on Patreon.
Draycros
2021-02-01 16:56:31 +0000 UTCNintendo and patreon can go eat ass. Just say the words and we can move to subscribestar or some other site
Scarletmenace
2021-02-01 16:54:47 +0000 UTCI don't play Pokemon anymore, but I still bought the mainline entries to help support the creation of new monsters, but I guess I won't be doing that anymore. Makes me regret recently paying to watch Detective Pikachu. This has the stink of NoA all over it as Japan's wouldn't care. I'm guessing either a disgruntled Patron tipped them off or Nintendo got Patreon to do keyword scrape and you weren't the only one affected.

2021-02-01 16:20:04 +0000 UTCMight be possible to just move everything over to Discord that was flagged by nintendo and give people the discord role so they can access the right stuff for their tier. That's what a lot of people are doing. Though your digimon art is my favorite, and I wouldn't mind seeing Nexomon as well.

2021-02-01 16:12:40 +0000 UTCWell, guess it's time to commit hard to the digital monsters :P Seriously though, hope you can find a satisfying resolution, good luck! I'm still here for all your other art if worst comes to worst (what's Caramel up to?), and there's quite a few other monster-collection games around lately that could use some love~ (Nexomon, Monster Sanctuary, more I forget the names of...)
Nonfinite
2021-02-01 16:08:34 +0000 UTCCan we still see these posts, or they're gone? I just LOVE your timelapses and wasn't able to donwload the ones from last year yet, omg. I hope things get better for you, I love your work! This is such a shame.
Tao Bolton
2021-02-01 16:05:36 +0000 UTCWow, really. That is messed up
2021-02-01 15:46:13 +0000 UTCSigh, I knew this would happen to you someday. I was always shocked you hadn’t run into any problems. Sadly there never seems to be a way around this once they find you. Either move platform or remove Pokémon... which would be literally almost everything. I’ll follow wherever you go if it comes to that!

DontTouchMy
2021-02-01 15:38:17 +0000 UTCi think its time to move out to somewhere else from patreon, and i wonder how they figured it out. big question is what will happen to current projects. either way you can survive without pokemon content but it will be sad regardless.

2021-02-01 15:37:17 +0000 UTCCan we talk outside of Patreon regarding this?

2021-02-01 15:33:01 +0000 UTCNintendo and their damn crusade against artists...they never stop.

2021-02-01 15:32:41 +0000 UTCSorry to hear you're running into trouble with them. Nintendo can be pretty protective. I hope it gets resolved quickly.
