Mr16Bits

Im sorry about people essentially stealing your art. Hope the new system works better for you, and allows you to keep making your awesome stuff!

Oh no, they'll remain

If it can get around screenshotting the information is encoded in the colour data, at which point you can hue shift it slightly with a noise generator to make the encoded information worthless lol but even then that only works for the image rewards, but falls through completely with the psd rewards, as the people with the psd files can just render their own versions of the pictures.

There are automations for it I believe, and you can’t remove the data even with a hex editor because it’s encoded in far more clever ways than that to resist even screenshotting, cropping, etc. I’ll DM you more info

Will you be taking down older posts? Really hope you won't be deleting past posts!

Even assuming you can find a website that batch process or get a script that automates the encoding process through the website, you end up running into the logistical process of having to send every patreon their own dedicated rewards with their username encoded so you could tell who leaked it, which at 1400 patreons would take up quite a lot of time. And even then it would just raise the bar required to leak as someone with a modiucm of knowledge about the file format and how to operate a hex editor could just get rid of any such data anyway.

What really? I'm surprised this is the first time I've heard of it... tell me more

I hope it works out! I know there are some sites you can use that put secret data on pictures to help track which supporter leaked it as well. I don’t know if that’s what you’re doing with dropbox but figured I’d mention it. Anyway, I’m so excited for the Ilulu pictures, can’t wait!

Sky

Oh ok! Thanks for clearing that up (still really looking forward to seeing the bound boi~)

Lulyn

Astolfo's not gonna be an exclusive pic, so it'll be posted on twitter and patreon

Hope the dropbox change helps out, also when do you think the Astolfo pic will be done? just curious since it’s not listed in this schedule

Lulyn
