Some Words and Some Faith Lost
10 years ago
I'm bringing this up because it happened again today, and I just want to express my feelings about it.
The art I post to my gallery here, is the same that I post to my Patreon a few days/weeks/months earlier. Its smaller, and the watermarks are slightly larger, but its the same.
THE SAME.
exactly THE SAME.
So I don't appreciate when someone pledges to support me, downloads all my art, and then jumps ship five minutes later. I don't use Patreon as a pay wall, I use it as a tip jar. If you like my art, and are willing to throw some cash at me, you get my art a little sooner.
SO to the fuckers that keep getting my hopes up and then smashing them, I know who many of you are. Some of you are dumb enough to use your FA user names. I will make a black list if this continues, and if it gets bad, I'll make it public so people know to watch out for you. I don't know if you're posting the art somewhere, or what but this is just so so not cool all by itself.
Pledging and then finding out that you can't swing it this month, or something like that is fine, but I know this isn't the deal, because these people are pledging $1 and then ditching within minutes. Like I get the e-mail, and go to check out who pledged 5 seconds later, and they're already gone. Like WHOOPS I SLIPPED AND PLEDGED. No. Fuck that.
Like I said, I post nothing there that I don't post here, besides stream notifications, and the occasional PSD file, so you don't gain anything SPECIAL by doing this. The special stuff is for those who stick around and it can't be downloaded.
Sorry I don't like to bitch like this. It just really bothers me. Its like they think they're getting the better of me, and what did I do to deserve that?

I would pledge if I could, but bills are a *bad word*.
(I don't like saying the b word)
Naw, don't worry about it, I'm in exactly the same boat, so I totally get it.
Or like... Monthly patreons will lock a pledger's donation and they won't be able to cancel it until the next month so they at least need to commit to one donation.... something like that would be a huge benefit.
Now I do follow you on Patreon, but I haven't pledged anything as I have not the funds, but I still support what you do and what you can draw and I think you're an amazing talented artist and storyteller and for someone to dick around and do that to you is massively wrong, and I would highly recommend you make that black list immediately.
Block the invaders, stop the evil, and proceed.
Releasing the info public may be something to do if you continually get harassed by new idiots, but as of now I just think you need to make that black list and end the rudeness, I hardcore admire you and your personality and your you-ness. I strongly feel you need to be treated right, right now and not wait to see if this keeps happening.
You are awesome and only the people who deserve it are the ones who should experience your awesomeness, and you are the one who gets to decide who is worthy and deserving.
I think people should be entitled to retract their pledge if they want, but I don't think that's a decision that would take five minutes. Like a week minimum, and then if they decide it's just not for them, maybe a note to the artist and then they leave. I dunno, something! :c
