Gumroad Update
a year ago
Hello my friends!
This is probably old news for most of you now, but Gumroad recently banned adult content from their platform, and today my account was closed.
Unfortunately this is not only a loss of source of income for me but also all the art from my image packs. This includes the custom thank you cards and source files which are now unavailable to anyone who hasn't purchased from me previously.
I have some not so nice thoughts about Gumroad but the world of online NSFW Art is always changing, so it's better to try and go with the flow.
I'm currently trying to come up with a plan to update my pages as Gumroad was the sole source for the source files for my art, as well as housed hundreds and hundreds of alts for my artwork.
Thank you for being patient while I take the time to fully update all my pages, links, ect
What happens to the content I've purchased?
From whom I've spoken to you should still have access to all the content you have already purchased on Gumroad.
You will however be unable to view my profile or purchase any new content.
If you are still having trouble on Gumroad accessing your content please send me a message on my artpages or my email at: isyldart[at]gmail.com and I'll see what I can do.
Will the Gumroad content be available again?
I'm not sure whether or not I'll offer a .zip file with all the content from my gumroad. It's a bit of a debate on whether that's fair to the people who have already purchased the content. All the files are archived so it will take a lot of time to recompile all the images if I decide to reoffer the content.
I'm debating about releasing the Highlight images and maybe the Thank You cards and making them free to view on my art pages.
Selling on DeviantArt
Currently DeviantArt only allows explicit imagery if you charge your viewers so they can profit off of it. I haven't gone this route because I find it reprehensible and hypocritical. A lot of you may have seen me be a bit vocal about this.
However this is a possible option to allow the content to be viewable again using DeviantArt's 'premium content.'
Thank you for your support!
I appreciate everyone who supports me, the community is what makes art so great! I love interacting with you all, and I am sorry something like this always comes up.
I won't be going anywhere and will keep posting even as the places I am allowed to post changes. I appreciate you for taking the time, happy Friday!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend, sending you lots of love!💖

DA and Itch.io seem like the best places to migrate to after Gumroad.
Patreon is always an option, too.
But it also requires all NSFW to be behind a paywall.
I'll have to think on it some more, Gumroad was a very useful passive site for sharing source files. I'll be looking at Subscribestar and Patreon I think when I have the time.
Thank you for your suggestions sweet Cat!
