So many of you may have noticed that the comic that i released for this month had been up for about a day before being taken down. Basically here's what happened:It got false flagged by a bot and went into manual review. However, i opted to just delete the post and link in fear that it may have been flagged legitimately (at the time) and i read more into Patreon's guidelines. Because of it being a grey area, i decided it was best to just delete it.I have re-uploaded it publicly on my deviant art page for anyone who may have missed it or may want to read it. However, this is a wake up call going forward:I will be uploading all future updates of it for free on Deviant art because of the risk. Likewise, this does mean that i will have to be more conscious with what i upload going forward. This does however, lead into my next announcement. After the end of next month (starting August 1st) , i will be going on a 1 month hiatus until September to catch up on stuff and really do some things that i want to do that unfortunately cannot be done when i have to consider quotas for uploads, I.e i want to spend time learning more about sculpting and texturing, making characters and just working on stuff at a more relaxed pace. So, I'll still be hard at work, just with a little less pressure and i'll still be doing the occasional WIP update for stuff, like the comic!Love all of you guys and i appreciate the continued support and good vibes < 3

Take the time you need! I hope you enjoy your break/hiatus! Have a great summer!

You could just drop Patreon all together to bypass all these vague restrictions and use only subscriberstar. Maybe offering a discount to the people that would switch over from Patreon

What kind of grey area was patreon on about ?

SizMetric

thanks dude! I definitely will enjoy it, though i'll still mostly be working on things LOL. will be nice though to work on stuff i've neglected to do however

I actually do have a subscriber star i have been building on the side as an alternative. However, the thing about subscriber star is that it has a drastically lower participation rate than Patreon does, from what other artists friends who have been in the game longer than i have told me. Luckily though, i can still post 90% of what i still want to here. I just can't go as hard as the Mona comic basically. Your idea is a good one however to consider. Thank you < 3

Hey, about the flagging issue, could you use an external hosting service like Dropbox or stuff like that to host the comic while only uploading a few cover / teaser pages? Or was any part of the comic automatically flagged? Also have a great break you deserve it.

YukiSnow

Absolutely! You should make a brew and be cozy while you work on new stuff! Definetly take some time to enjoy some stuff!

So technically, this is something that can be done however that would still ultimately not be within the guidelines. Even hosting stuff on other sites stjll applies in this case. Ultimately, just posting it for free for everyone on DA is really going to be the only way i can make passion projects like this see the light of day for everyone else to see.

Mainly, things like more extreme forms of femdom can fall into the "consent" area of content. This becomes problematic for that genre because it requires explicit and non-coereced consent within content. The broad definition they have for this makes it a very dangerous game to dance in basically.

Ty dood < 3 i will try my best to be cozy while working
