Reposters
🕑 Added 2021-09-08 06:01:35 +0000 UTCHello my dear patrons,
My art has been reposted on tiktok and apparently my watermarks were removed. Since I do not post my watermarks here because I thought no one would have the idea of reposting my work from here I am unsure if the reposters are from patreon or not... I don't really know what to do.
Please do not repost my art anywhere.
I beg you. Patreon is my only income right now and I am only earning enough to pay my health insurance (which is about 120€/month). I am grateful that my partner really believes in me and supports me and our floof family for more than 1,5 year now.
You have to understand reposting my work makes me lose precious patrons.
How many time do I find awesome art on Pinterest and I can NEVER find the original source. Even with a Google image research.
Reposting is painful for artists. Especially artists like me who try to make a living from their art.
I think I should put watermarks here just to be safe but patreon was the only place were I thought my work was respected. I still want to belive that but I am very sad right now...
Anyway thank you for your support! It means the world to me that people like my work enough that they want to support me financially ❤ I am hoping one day I would actually make a living from my art and you are all helping me making it possible! 🥰

As much as it can suck to have watermarks on art I am ALL in support of it, because you deserve to have credit for the hard work you do!! So if it feels safer and more comfortable to do so then absolutely put them here too Yaki, but I'm so sorry that this is even something you have to consider.

I fully support watermarks, that’s terrible and I’m so sorry it happened to you. I love your work, and I know everyone else here does too.
