🖋️ Update on Watermarks (Patreon)

Hey everyone~

Past month, I’ve noticed that my content has been leaked, reposted, and shared on various platforms. Sometimes it gets thousands of likes, or worse, people upload it to paid sites behind paywalls, all without crediting me, and they benefit off hours of my work put into this. Yes, it's generated by AI, but except for doing research on techniques, I often do post-processing, manual edits on my art (✨to make it pristine✨), so it’s really disheartening that this doesn’t translate into support here because most people don’t even know it’s mine. 😔

I want to apologize that it has come to this because I did not understand before why bigger creators put their watermarks on paid content, but now I get it. Thus, I’ve decided to start adding watermarks to all my general and weekly sets. I know it won’t completely stop having the images published without my watermark, but at least for those who want to repost the full image, it will always carry my watermark. That said, I’ve made it small and subtle so it doesn’t get in the way of enjoying the art. Also, commissions and requests won't have watermarks.

I hope you understand, and please let me know if my watermarks are too noticeable. I experimented a lot to make them small yet readable. ♥️ Your support really means everything to me, and this is just one step to make sure my work stays recognized while keeping things as unobtrusive as possible for you.
