Important Message Regarding Sharing Patron Exclusive Art
Added 2019-05-17 05:01:46 +0000 UTCHey, everyone!
Earlier this month I received a message on my Ko-Fi from a patron who admitted to sharing one of my patron exclusive pieces and offered an apology. The patron didnβt offer their name, so Iβm unable to speak with them directly regarding this matter. Iβm sending this message out to everyone as a general disclosure and to express my feelings.
I created my Patreon so that I can have the space to create the content I want to create in my free time. My work and personal life can spread me a little thin so having this type of environment where I can have this sort of creative freedom with financial backing from people who dig my work means so much to me. For me to help keep that appealing to current patrons and newcomers, I decided to create exclusive content that can only be found here. When somebody shares the exclusive content (or even the HD versions) to people outside of Patreon, it not only risks taking the value out of my Patreon, but it also undermines all the other patrons who pay to view the content. I work very hard to create the content that I do. The fact that so many of you want to support me helps me feel my work is validating and worthwhile.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message. π
