Addressing Art Re-use
Added 2023-05-23 00:37:38 +0000 UTCHey ya'll! Making a quick text post here so that everyone sees it.
TL;DR: Please don't re-host or use the art from this Patreon if you don't own it.
We've had a bit of an oopsie, where a patron's piece from the latest sketch batch was taken and used on an rp site without their permission. This page is the only place where it was hosted, so the most obvious conclusion is that a patron at t2 or above took the image and used it directly, or re-hosted my sketch batch somewhere else.
I don't like assuming the worst of anyone, so on the chance that this is a misunderstanding, or that someone simply didn't realize it wasn't cool, I'll say it explicitly: Please don't use art from my Patreon that doesn't belong to you, or re-post tier rewards to other places. The VIPs who make the sketch requests are allowed to host their own pieces on their personal profiles, but that's the extent of it. All characters portrayed in sketch batches are already owned by other people!
I'm not asking that anyone fess up, and I don't expect them to. But I do hope that the clarification here will help inform anyone who might not have seen anything wrong with it that it's not okay, even if they don't agree.
Basically-- be good, my lil' babitos. Mwah.
