The overwhelming support for Holly has been... extremely helpful. I was never super confident in or passionate about creating original characters given the appeal of making things look accurate to existing source material, but your love for her is overwhelming.
Had I not posted her yesterday, this likely would have been the end of my time dedicated to making 3D artwork; This morning I was informed by the Patreon Trust & Safety team that I needed to remove infringing content here as well (again Nintendo has every right to do so, it's just annoying) Without the context of Holly's debut dramatically outperforming almost every other animation I've posted as of late, as I spent a few hours going through over four years worth of posts one by one I'm certain I would have thrown in the towel or taken a hiatus.
Instead, I'm motivated to keep going into this new era! This isn't the end for my fan art works either, though for now any Nintendo-specific stuff will be a little less frequent and without any exclusivity to this site. I hope you'll stick around for it!
While I don't plan to immediately dive into the cycle of re-uploading and take-downs, If you felt compelled to take my call to action and archive your favorite old pieces of mine from the previous update I certainly can't stop you from uploading all those old exclusives to other sites to keep them alive in some capacity.
Cheers.
TLDR; Had to delete over 4 years worth of Nintendo posts at Patreon's request (if you still have them, do whatever you want with them), but I'm not done making stuff!
