The Future of Support on my Patreon
a year ago
I've been doing a lot of consideration about how to proceed with Patreon due to their new community guidelines...
I'm planning to proceed with business as usual for April because honestly they didn't really give us much time to plan for this or anything. Just "you're suddenly breaking our rules"... but I don't want to do that to y'all so assuming I don't get the boot sometime this month, things should be relatively the same. Going forward however (post April) I will no longer be able to post exclusive content to Patreon. I'll still be working of course, and I'll still need support but my work will just be posted publicly to my socials. My Patreon will still remain active (assuming I don't get kicked off or something like that) so I can still collect earnings there but I won't be posting work or polls there. I'm hoping despite my art and polls being open publicly that y'all will still consider supporting me so I can continue to draw cute tummies and such. I appreciate all the support you've been giving me all these years!
There will be some changes on my creator page, reward tiers will be coming down (including monthly commissions) so this will be the final month for those rewards. Please plan accordingly and make any adjustments to your pledges that you need to this month! Especially monthly commission rewards since I know those are a bit pricey.
My work will be posted to my Twitter, Tumblr, Blue Sky, Furaffinity and Pixiv accounts as well as the Choose Your Own Adventure polls and I will be opening commissions periodically so if you want one please keep an eye out for announcements on those sites! It really sucks to have to make this decision, I won't blame any of y'all for deleting your pledges without exclusive rewards/content. As of right now I don't really have any better options (open to suggestions though).
I'm just so tired of companies riding the backs of sex workers and kink artists until they no longer need us and throw us under the bus. When I stop to think about the really popular kink artists on that platform and how much money Patreon has made off them it makes me sick, honestly.
But I digress...
I hope everyone is having a good day regardless. I will keep fighting the good fight and keeping the love alive for cute tummies. <3

I hope you can make this work with the audience and clients you have built up! Best wishes to you!
And yeah, with AI art taking our jobs they're really not leaving us many options. :(
I make 18+ twinks and I feel like there is a stigma around making men on the younger side as it is for some reason. You can make young women in sexual crap all you want, but the second you make young men people all of a sudden cannot tell the difference between a twinl and a minor and would degrade you.
I also found out Gumroad is banning every and all NSFW creators, so never sell your art there lol.
