No Download Files Update
Added 2024-10-24 14:49:29 +0000 UTCHey guys,
Some of you have been commenting and DMing me about the zip files for character sets. There's probably even more of you who haven't said anything but are wondering the same thing. I'm really sorry I had to take them away from the character sets, especially since my sets are so large. Basically what happened is I found one of my recent character sets posted out in public in its entirety. No watermarks or credits at all.
Honestly, that was just a really, really big downer. That's partially why I had to delay my Loba set because I was feeling like poop that day when I found out. I know this is all AI art and that comes with a lot of controversies related to who the art should belong to, etc.
But the fact of it is I still spend 10+ hours straight working on these sets. There's a lot more that goes into this than the general public realize. I put aside a lot of my personal time to work on these sets and I try my best and give them my all with the time I have. So to see all my work posted out there for free is really disheartening.
Of course I don't know who did it for sure. I have an idea as the person who made the request cancelled almost right after the set was released and blocked me as well. But I can't say for sure sadly. Even if I knew, there's nothing I can do.
I'm sorry I didn't say anything until now. Honestly I didn't know how to proceed. I'm sorry all of you who genuinely want to support me or pay to see my content have been punished for one bad apple. Thankfully, talking to some other artists I realized a much better and safer alternative!
Starting next month on November 15th, I will begin posting my art in MEGA folders with all the content created in October. Going forward I will be posting the link to these folders in the middle of every month for all content made the month before. The links will only be valid during that month. After that links will expire and all access will be taken away.
I know this all seems super extreme and strict, but seeing all my hard work posted for free was just the worst feeling ever. We are growing every week, and I am so so soooo thankful to all of you!!! Believe me! But with more and more new people joining us means the chances of pirates are increasing. So the idea that people in the future can come in here, download everything I've ever posted and put all that online for free is absolutely heart shattering.
I'm sure pirates will still find some way to pirate, but at least I can make it much more difficult and still provide you all with an easy way to download all my work without having to go through every single picture.
Thank you all again for your support. I'm sorry again for staying silent and giving you all headaches. Please forgive me and please understand. I love you all!

I'm really really sorry. ik it sucks. I'll still always post my art here for you to see when you do have wifi. And I plan to keep the links valid for the month it's posted so hopefully you'll have some time here and there :)

2024-10-24 16:02:45 +0000 UTCYea it really sucks. Every artist on Patreon kinda already knows it's gonna happen the bigger you get, but we all kinda just hope it doesn't

2024-10-24 16:02:07 +0000 UTCI saw that one set posted online and I was wondering Like „huh it didnt happen sooner ?“ I mean ofc I dont want that for you, that Pirates are posting your work online. That sucks. So I understand your decision and I only wish your the best !
