Patreon Announcement
9 years ago
General
I'm going to keep making announcements regarding my Patreon over here as well, since I know a number of you haven't followed me over to FN
I'm going to be announcing the winners of the monthly raffle on Tuesday, but first I have to say to whoever's making all the dummy accounts to follow me: You're a dick.
I'm an independent artist trying to support myself with this and barely making it every month. The few who donate to my Patreon know they're not getting a whole lot for their monthly contribution, but It's a massive help to me. I wouldn't be able to do this without their support.
But every month since I announced that I'll be raffling off free art, I've been getting spammed with anywhere between 5 and 20 obviously fake accounts pledging exactly $5. And of course, when it comes to charge them, they ALL get declined. So thanks. You're exploiting a system meant to help people make a living creating art and attempting to steal rewards from people who are actually going out of their way to support them. This is why I need to wait until the 5th of each month, so I can weed out whoever's trying to abuse the system.
Additionally, to those I still owe Patreon art to, it's coming within the next 2 weeks here. I've got a large block of free or "won" art coming up in my queue that I'm going to start on this week. After that, I should be better about getting the rewards out around the middle of each month. Thanks again for your patience.
