I am very sad
🕑 Added 2024-02-05 16:42:00 +0000 UTCAs you know, I value all my members very much as they support my work and provide compensation for the time and expense I invest in my art. Unfortunately, I have apparently granted access to a member who is stealing my images and uploading them to a publicly accessible platform. As a result, many are saving themselves the modest membership fee and getting my artwork for free. This would mean that the effort I put into my hobby would remain uncovered in the medium and long term. Since patreon.com unfortunately does not help me to protect my intellectual property, I am in the process of looking for another platform. For all members who know and appreciate the value of my artwork: Stay tuned, I will have a solution for you soon; in the meantime, enjoy my updates as usual.

Hello Im sad to know that, but I will said the same, everywhere you will go you will have this issue. It's so sad that some people give work free like this, I want continue to support you, but if you go on other platform Im not sure i will can follow you, and that make me really sad. After of course you do what you want, but really i love your world and all you do it's the reason why I support you for that. But im not sure that leave patreon will change something, if the person who steal your pics for post it follow you you will have this problem on the other platform. Anyways Im with you with all my heart and will accept, of course what you choose! And i hope I will can follow you if you leave here! With all my heart, Arda

Having said that, I think this is an issue wherever you go. I don't think fanbox or other places will fight for you either. :( The one I know with the biggest community footprint is NimbleTail, maybe he can give you some tips for how to make this into more of a liveliehood, and its challenges and pitfalls? I think he does art full-time with the help of Patreon and other platforms. https://www.patreon.com/NimbleTail He's also on DA and Pixiv amongst other places. Best of luck, regardless.
