So that there is no confusion, I will continue with the praxis as ayuer but with only one change.

1.- I send an email with the link in the cloud to everyone.

2.- As I know that the email with the link does not reach everyone (and I don't know why, google stuff and other emails and other nations), I will publish another link with the encrypted image on Patreon, only one this time, in the 7z version, so that those who have iOS will not have problems.

Two forms of the same image of The Mansion.

Is this the way your going to publish your comics know? This means, as your customer I’ve to react in 24h to download the comic, then I have stored on my device and to management in on my own… What happens when I miss a download and I recognized the missing some month after your release? How do new customer can get the older Images of a comic? As i already mention, I like to read some pages of a comic in a sequence, and I like to read your old comics after sometimes again, how could I get them, based on the new way of publishing? I understand, that you try to protect your work, but when I think about it, when somebody republish your work, what you have published only for L3, could be that the black sheep is an L3-Member… And how does your new concept block an Member from publishing your work? I am not seeing, how this process stopped bad people, but at the moment your honest follower get a worse experience… Do you have think of complete other solution? Why not publishing complete comics as ebook on Amazon? Or use a document system, which generates pdf with a user id as a watermark, this will protect your work, cause you see who have republished your work….

I had answered you, but lately I don't know what happens to Patreon, it either doesn't register it or it sends it much later. Believe me, I'm the first one who doesn't want this, for me this is much more work (and on top of that when the web or the app fails). In 10 days I barely had time to make 2 new images. I am thankful that I have been foresighted, and have backup images in case I have technical problems, or have to do maintenance. I will post like this from now on, because of the daily filtering, before as it was from time to time, I tried to ignore it. But now as every day my work is synced to a Russian site based in Belize that does not respect my copyright claims, unlike other sites that you send them the copyright claim and they remove them, I have been forced. Today for example I have received about 20 requests for access to the published work, when reviewing the emails of the 20 requests for access, only 3 were from Patreons. I am preparing a folder where I will gather everything I publish in a month, and I will leave it hosted in a cloud, which I will upload at the end of the following month (it is a recommendation that I have been made and I think it's smart, not for the subscription issue, but for not making things so easy to steal). I'm trying to see if I can stabilize the situation a little, between abnormal failures of the web, mail server that does not send emails, publications that I write answering and disappear, the clouds ask me to authorize myself to share files and they deny me (if this happens in google, dropbox and box) or microsoft that only lets me add one by one the emails in bulk .... When I can I want to see if I can find an app that does what you say, but it would be almost the same as now, upload the image to the cloud, send you the link, deal with the problem of emails that do not arrive or that the cloud refuses to share the publication.

On the other hand, I am thinking about one thing and that is to let the one who steals my work, work in my favor. And help me to be able to focus a little more on getting on with the work. But basically it would be to publish an image in a standard way. Without links, without encryption, in a direct way, the ones of the stories apart. But first I need more time, to deal with the technical problems that make me repeat several times a publication, because it does not publish (like the answer I sent you this morning, and at least to me, it does not appear anywhere), or it does not send messages as it should as it happened to me last night, I sent 2 times the message and it did not appear as sent until 15 minutes later and then I saw that one had not been copied well from the translator... (Opera Browser, it copies when it wants and what it wants).

For the rest, I apologize for all this, as I said, I am the first one who does not want this, it gives too much work and takes me time away from what is important, make more images and focus on good stories. Right now all I can think about is "What problems are coming or will come next". I'm walking around like a headless chicken (as they say here in Spain), trying to get to the finish line and going nowhere.

I just wish you made your art free for non-patrons when they're all complete...some people (like me) can't afford to pay the extra fee per month. And eventually there will come a time where you don't reply to requests anymore...

Hi Jay, my plan right now is, to post two old comics on DA, each week one image from each comic.

Jeff

To add on to this, I think this is too much effort for both you and your fans. As I've said elsewhere, I almost never get to your notifications and emails within two days. *Everyone's* work will eventually leak out into cyberspace, legally or no, including images that were "encrypted." How you were doing this before is the best way for your fans to access your work legally.

rammaukin

Yes it is too much effort, but it is my only income right now, that's why I give you the link in duplicate, of the publications and the one I send by email. I will also publish a compilation of everything I have published from the 15th of each month to the 14th of the following month. Even more, I send again and again an email to the Patreon support, who answer me with a copy and paste of a template, and they don't even care if they have answered my question or not, let alone answer my replies, implying that they simply ignore the problem, since it seems that it is something that has been going on for a long time and so far, they have only complicated the publication mode for the creators. They know how to filter what is published here, because I sent them the link where, which they have ignored, since they have not even replied to the mail I sent them. It might interest you that, since Patreon hasn't cared about this, I'm going to create subscription folders in DeviantArt and maybe close my Patreon creator account.

I hope this message doesn't sound aggressive, I'm a bit exhausted, between studies, exams, other problems, daily filtrations... it's a constant wear and tear. I understand that all of you can't look at the mail every day, but it's not such a complex system, it's quite simple really. you click, download, unzip with the password. It's really only one more step if you do it from Patreon, two if you do it from the mail.

Jeff

I would not be opposed to following you over on DeviantArt, if you choose to move over there. That said, publishing the compilation in the 15th is good to know, and sound easier to wait for on my end. I like good binge :)

rammaukin

It would not be totally moving to DA, at least for now. I know some would have problems because of the payment methods issue, and another would be the +18 content images, they should all be censored or not published. Little by little, as this evolves.
