Thanks to DMCA, I'll have to delete every nintendo-related post on Patreon. Nintendo copyright strikes on NSFW content has been going on sine 2016 and I had to delete stuff several times across various sites, so this isn't new. I'm still unsure if this is legitimately nintendo issuing notices, a malicious troll doing fake claims, or an automated copyright bot out of control. Still, there's not much do without legal support and accepting the risk of actually being sued. I'll try to counter notice though, but still need to remove the content in the meantime.  I'll also have to prepare to pay some legal support, in the worst case scenario 😰💦

Also, fanmade characters like Squidna, Shy-gal and Bowsette, shouldn't be part of this! but they are, hence what I think this is just the work of some kind of bot. Maybe this bot detected the small graphics used on the images, like midna's portrait, official powerup artwork, and so on. Who knows.

It's a shame, since I love drawing those characters. There's still much to draw though!

Also, those drawings were already uploaded once, so they will definitely remain somewhere on the internet, just that I can't distribute them anymore.

On other, better news, I got my glasses! my eyes feel much better now. Currently working on an Easter comic featuring Swicchan, one of my Console girl OCs.

Sorry myan, this just sucks because at most I always consider this type of things in like a Parody category which shouldnt be eligible to be targeted for that. But idk. It just sucks. And even more so that Patreon let's this happen. Hope things work out for ya.

If you can fight this, do so. Your work is transformative enough that I'm pretty sure they don't have a legal leg to stand on. Much as I otherwise love Nintendo, they get really butthurt about people using their characters pretty much at all. That's really all this is. Nintendo gets butthurt and files DMCA claims, even if they're erroneous. In the meantime, there's another artist I follow who does NSFW nintendo artwork. What they do is they upload their Nintendo work to a Megadownload folder instead, and then on patreon they post versions of the artwork with all the faces and iconography blurred out, while giving the pieces titles like "Space Woman" instead of Samus or "Pink Princess" instead of Peach. That way, Nintendo REALLY has no legal leg to stand on because now you're not even making money off of "their characters" at all. After all, the art your posting is just a bunch of abstract blurry messes with generic names. TECHNICALLY that's what your patrons are paying for. You just also HAPPEN to provide a link in the description to a piece of art on Megadownload that has transformative depictions of Nintendo characters. But your patrons are TECHNICALLY getting that for free. The work is free to view on Megadownload, it's just that only your patrons know the link. You should talk to "Urbanator" here on Patreon for more info on this, but my understanding is this is what he's been doing for the past year or so.

This remind me an artist that was used to mark nintendo character replacing the letters like E by 3 and S by 5 now I get more the reason. Anyway this really suck and I hope this wont be too painfull to check bak all your posts even more to delete such amazing art °o° Anyway my side I have to be carefull cause if patreon start check that I would get my entire account deleted since Rosalina is... everywhere on my project ^^'

I recently had an inkling (hmm) to go through all the content and download it for myself. Twas a sign from the future, a warning, but I didn't heed it. Sucks, man! Blasted Nintendo, always ruining everything.

Wonderful to hear about your eyes! Also this is why I download eveything, And have no respect for corporation's copywrites at all.

Great new about your eyes! [various shameful swear words] news about DMCA! But yes, being cautious is probably the best move. Your fans know they'll find those characters in your artworks anyway, so, let's just pretend they "never been there", lol, wink wink.

I have 10 days to wait and see if I'm fucked out of several thousands USD from legal fees, or it was just a fake claim.
