Kind of stunned here. I have subbed to this guy for a year or more to support as I liked his art. Today I asked a question about how to name a file because the service he uses renames files, I like to keep things organized, and made a suggestion about putting multiple images into a .zip for easier downloading. That's all. He replied and said I was being "fussy" because I had asked something in the past about file names and downloading and that I was the only one being a "problem". Really? I was NOT rude in any way, at all. I replied that that if he wasn't going to do my suggestion that it was fine, that's how it goes. Wasn;t worried about it then. I said to enjoy making art and that was it. End. But, somehow asking questions as a CUSTOMER and making a suggestion was "fussy"? Seriously? I come home from the store to emails saying the dude f*cking BANNED me from Patreon, and then blocked me on Twitter. Really? I never said anything to him on Twitter. Why search my name and then ban me on Twitter too? Over what? WTF? Just in a bit of shock. That is utterly ridiculous. I am not some freakin' drama queen. You would think I was harassing him or something, that couldn't be further from the truth. I have no desire to harass anyone, let alone a creator I enjoy. Are people this ridiculous to just go right to banning on multiple platforms over nothing bad? Seriously.

Be careful in what you say to creators, you might bet banned.

Hi F95!

Just to clear some things up and answer some questions:

1. No I don't provide the models I work with, sorry!

2. I put a watermark on my art because people online have a habit of reposting things and crediting (Unknown), and I include a QR code so that people who might want to support my stuff can quickly do so and it's worked out pretty well! I know it's unorthodox, but I do try to keep it small and out of the way in the corners so that it doesn't get in the way of anything!

3. Someone was complaining about my image sizes - they're 1600x1200 because that's the balance where it looks good on 2K monitors, but also takes WAY less time to render on my 4060 GPU. If it didn't take 4 times longer to render in 4K, I'd render everything in higher res. Again, Sorry!

4. Buddy-guy here got banned last night because I got tired of every comment he's left on my Patreon for the last few months being about how inconvenient it is for him to download my work, despite the fact that I kept trying to accommodate his requests and adding the things he asked for and stressing myself out over trying to be as accessible as I can - because that's my goal, for as many people as possible to see my work! More on that in a minute though.

What friendo here neglected to point out is that in one of his whinges today where he not-so-subtly passive aggressively implied I didn't want to organize my work even after all the work I have put into organizing it, he says (and I paraphrase) that he, "as an artist" does. So I decided to go and look up his art, which is what led me to his twitter where I find 2 things! His "art" is just slopping together other people's work to make AI shit (which makes his desire to be able to download my entire library as easily as possible VERY suspicious), and also - this doofus is just a shitty Trump supporting loser. Now, I don't ban people for being Trump supporters as long as they're not colossal assholes about it - which granted, this guy wasn't. But amid everything else it just didn't help to learn that when I was already in a bad mood. Also, the fact that the FIRST thing he did was run to my leaks page to whine tells you all you need to know! Not a drama queen indeed...

So, that's your boy here.

I also want to add, just while I'm here and before anyone jumps to conclusions because I know F95 and artists don't always get along and some people like to think we're all just hoarding our work... I don't actually have much issue with you guys posting my stuff. I know it's part of the gig for stuff to leak, and I at least somewhat respect that you guys are still having to put some manual work into it to get it done and aren't just dropping my username into kemono and having a bot do all the work, which I hate and is why I've upped my attempts to curb leaks. I also appreciate that you guys want to see what I make, and at the end of the day any attempts I make at curbing leaks aren't because of forum users on F95, blame Kemono.

I also want to be on record as letting you know that I do my best to post most of what I make for everyone public through as many sites as I can within a reasonable amount of time (usually a few weeks, maybe a month or two), and that I only keep a small amount of stuff as permanent exclusives - usually alternate versions of pictures. I really do want to be able to share as much of it as I can with as many people as I can, that's the whole point of making it. I know that nobody here is going to sympathise with this, and that's okay, but where I've seen some artists charge $10, $15+ per month to access their spicy stuff, I only charge $5 per month for access to literally everything, which I think is pretty reasonable - though again, I don't expect everyone to want or be able to sub, nor do I expect it. Long before I started making stuff I used to be in forums and stuff like this scrounging for leaks too, so I get it. No ill will.

Hope you all have a good one! I hope we're cool Don't worry, if you talk to me on socials or whatever I won't ban you like he says. I only ban if you're a pain in my ass for 6 months, then turn out to be an AI Generating, Trump sucking loser!

K bye <3

PS: Here's an olive branch. It's the next public page of my recent V comic that's due to go up in a couple of days. I know it's not much and not as much as you probably would want, but enjoy and thanks for being fans in your own way :)

Edit: Oh, and also I forgot to mention, I refunded dipstick up there up-front as well without him asking for one, even though I didn't have to. I just don't want his money or the headache of having him whining about how inconvenient his collection and/or rip off hobby is every time I make a new post.

So, I never passively aggressively said anything to you. If you took it that way, that's your issue man, that was never my intent. Ever. I had no reason to talk to you that way. I wasn't trying to be "fussy". I only talked to you/made a request, about 3 times ever as a paying customer. That's all. Period. That is "whining"? Seriously? Sorry to be of such a bother to you those couple of times over the long period I subbed to you. Seriously, had I known it was was such a bother, I wouldn't have ever mentioned anything. Ever. You are acting like I was hounding you continually or something, and that is simply NOT the case. I also asked a question in how to name the image set so it could be organized properly, why is that bad? It was a simple question. Excuse me for asking it. You seem to have a big chip on your shoulder, over nothing really.

So, you felt some need to look me up on X for some reason, when I had never said anything to you on there. Then you went to look me up on Discord, when I never said anything there either. You would think I pissed in your coffee or something with all that investigating. A bit over the top imo. The fact is, I would never have harassed or argued with you on either platform, I never did so on Patreon either, you just went RIGHT to ban me on everything right off the bat as if I would retaliate or something. Not the case. Yes, I came on here and made a comment, but not as retaliation, more so in confusion/shock and just to warn others to be careful. That is all I was going to say. Period.

So, on X you only saw some of my wallpapers I make and posted on twitter. Yes, I do that. What's the problem? No, its not "slopped together". It can take a lot of time to make things look good and proper, it's not as you say. It's expanding existing art so I can have 4K wallpapers, and majority of which were portrait size or not full sized images. So, I like to make wallpapers and have them on my desktop, it is something I enjoy. I don't see the problem, let alone something to insult someone over. Other artist have appreciated it, and I have even had requests from them, one artist has a folder shared on their Patreon of the wallpapers I have made of their art. The fact is, you decided to "look me up" on multiple platforms for some reason as if I was some criminal, all for what exactly? I didn't do anything suspicious to you. If downloading art from an artists I like and having it organized is "suspicious" then I guess half the people on this site are "suspicious". I guess most people who sub to artists on Patreon are suspicious too for wanting all their art. I mean, part of the reason to sub to an artist is to get their art, and of course support them. I like to have art organized. I guess that is bad? Further more, I also do photography, hand drawn art, and photoshop art. I also went to art school. I just don't have that on twitter. So, realize you can't know everything about a person from a few of their twitter posts. Let alone make a pile of assumptions about someone you really don't know based on it, and then resort to to insulting them over it on top of that.

As far as being a Trump supporter. What exactly does THAT have to do with anything? Man, that's ridiculous to have a factor on anything from our conversation on Patreon or why you banned me. Calling me a "Trump sucking loser". Really man? I don't care what an artists politics are, and I don't see why it should matter what a customer's is either. Utterly and completely irrelevant.

I "ran" here simply to mention my experience, why? Because it was a bit shocking frankly, and unnecessary. And for people maybe to be cautious about what they say if they sub to someone. That's all. This is all over what? A few requests from a paying customer? One question about how to name a file? It's just ridiculous imo. You are acting like I was bothering you so much and all that time, and again, that is NOT true.

Clearly, somewhere along the way, there was some misunderstanding. There was no reason or cause for it to have escalated to banning and the near hostility towards me, over really nothing in the end. Just let bygones be bygones. Life goes on.

So, I wont "bother you" ever again. Not that I could as I you have me banned on everything under the sun. But, you enjoy making your art and I sincerely hope you have success.

Sorry to have to thread derailed a bit. End of conversation.
