Leaked Patreon art
5 months ago
Hey all, I found out today about a pretty big Telegram channel that leaks my Patreon art. They usually link the art source for FA, but conveniently and mysteriously, under my art there is no source.
This is extremely disrespectful towards me as an artist and actively harms my income.
It should go without saying, but don't leak content from Patreon, not even in DMs!! If you enjoy someone's art, the least you could do is act respectful and not try to step around their methods for gaining income. And if you REALLY want others to see it too, wait until the artist releases it publically, or encourage people to join their Patreon. And please, don't repost art without credit. If you can't find the source, don't post it.
The world is harsh enough for artists as it is right now, with AI, Twitter, art theft, lack of attribution, and general lack of appreciation for artists. Don't make it worse.
I've been having some anxiety all morning after finding out about this, because who knows how many more people think it's ok to leak out my art like that.
