Content

I'm so, so disappointed to learn there's people among you who spread patreon exclusive content around. This is my job and only source of money — I need the money I'm trying to make so I can continue dedicading my time for this comic. If you're going to just leak it, what do you think is going to happen if people stop coming here?

I know your aliases but I'm not asking to know who you are here, I'm just asking for you to have a speck of respect towards the work I do, and to the paying patrons, and stop it.I should mention that I'm just one of the comic creators they're leaking. They seem to target animal comics, leak their pages and p2u bases.

That’s so abhorrently disrespectful to you and all your hard work! I’m usually not the type to rat people out for their wrongdoings, but I’m just saying, this time I wouldn’t mind snitching if I ever figured out. Legit stealing from a one-of-a-kind sole person business.

Patreon is my income too and I’ve dealt with people who do the very same thing. It’s extremely disrespectful and I have rooted out and banned everybody that I believe was responsible, I hope that you can do the same because they have no place being here if they are doing that.

bloodyfangsandfreckles

Ratt I just saw your announcement email and immediately came here; who does this sort of thing?! It’s so disrespectful to you as a content Creator and worse than that they should know better and apologize for doing something so underband and rude

TacTheScribbler

I sincerely hope that the folks responsible stop disrespecting you and your work. If they don't, I also hope they make it easy to find out who it is so they can be expediently banned. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. It's one thing to steal from a big corporation that doesn't respect its employees (like Walmart or Starbucks). It's another thing entirely to steal from an independent artist whose work is the sole source of their income.

Every Patreon-Ahead animal comic I've followed on Patreon has had this happen to them and it disgusts me every time. Like, who does this!? I'm uncertain about even letting the people I basically live with screenpeak when I'm looking at Patreon content! _And they're not people who follow any of the comics I follow regardless so them seeing things wouldn't even be a loss of revenue and I know that_.

Marissa Statler

This is super gross. Is this happening on dA?

rattGS

It's on a Discord server.

Marissa Statler

wtf? so gross! Even more gross that people seem ok with it

Ollieosa

Oh my god that so disrespectful! I hope you can find them soon and that they stop or own up to it. I’m so sorry, I can try to keep my eyes peeled in the main GS discord, tho idk which server it was leaked since I haven’t seen anything there. I’ll keep an eye out elsewhere regardless

Zada2011

I'm sorry to hear that. You put so much work into sharing your world with us, and deserve the support and needed income. I don't frequent the discords, but I hope all offenders are found out.

Comet

Oh my goodness Ratt, I’m so sorry to hear this is happening. I’ve heard of this happening to other creators too, and it just reeks of disrespect for your time, effort, and work. I hope they can be rooted out and removed.

CaymanClaire

Sorry to hear this. It is so hard to make a living income as an artist so for someone to do this is truly appalling. I hope they will think better in future. Shame is a powerful tool

Kaikree

Could you dm me the name of their Patreon account? I do Patreon-exclusive bases and comic pages so I'd love to make sure they're not in mine.

rattGS

I don't know who they are on Patreon as they're likely operating under a sock account. If it eases you, the screenshot I saw of the server didn't imply that your comics were there.

Xana Akai

I heard about it from another artist, wich bases are transfered to non patreon users that use them for adopts and all the shit. This is just disgusting, not only are they stealing things, but they are making profit behind the artist's back, not even paying for the base. Some even use double/fake accounts to access to artists patreon if they are blocked on their main account. People are just insane and obssessive, they can't respect anything! I'm so sorry it's happening to you as well! I hope you found them and kick them out like they deserve.

Grey

That’s a shame. I hope they stop.

chroniqlo

i’m so sorry to hear this! it would be nice if patreon implemented something like timed download and screencap/recording blocks

WildRose93

That’s awful I’m so sorry this happened to you and sadly so many other talented people as well. I hope you can narrow down who the culprits are and get that squared away. They didn’t just steal your hard work but took money out of your mouth as well. So many artists rely on the sales they make from here for housing, food, bills and so much more in there daily lives. They need to implement a thing like Snapchat that sends you a notification that someone copied or screenshot on your page.

FloralBlood

Thats pretty messed up. :/

itsloach

:[ You are charging basically pocket change for access to what we see. If people can't cover it due to the economy right now then waiting for public posts is fine. If they're so cheap to bypass it for others then that's disgusting and vile. I charge basically a coffee's worth for access to ALL of my stuff and I'd be pretty upset if someone leaked any of my speedpaints or private posts. This seems to happen with every animal artist that does this sort of work that I've heard of, and it boggles the mind. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some of the same individuals overlapping all those spaces but it does suck. I hope you can figure out who it is.

CattleCastle

complete scumbag behaviour. I'm all in favor of naming and shaming so thher creators can blacklist them.

Khali Hagen

Would you need their IP address? Otherwise couldn’t they create a new account somewhere?

Kwelve

Hope you cand find them quickly :( I understand people want to know what happen in the comic, but you need money. Artists need money. How can you love golden shrike without supporting the creator of your beloved comic? ://

Hayden of the Nonbinaries

I'm so sorry to learn this. I am happy to support you and your art! I can't imagine doing this!

Katie

That is shitty. Hope whoever is behind it will realise that and apologise.

Eve Raven

wtf I hate seeing this! I am so sorry this is happening. If the person(s) responsible sees this: Do better.

JKurv

I will keep an eye out and report it if I see any content from here. As an author and skull artist I understand and share your distress! I've found my work in unauthorized and unexpected places too. :(
