Last month I had a sudden influx of bots that signed to take content without suporting it, I think this month it will be more or less the same, when the payments roll, I'll be able to see those patrons whose payment info is flagged as fraud, but until then I cannot do much.

 I usually don't mind if the low resolution version of my renders pops in diferent places, but those bots undermine the reward of exclusivity for all the legitimate patrons, so I'm thinking about doing some changes.

First, this month I'm testing to do do the renders on a bigger size 2200*2200px, it usually takes longer, so maybe I will need to post a little less content to make this possible. 

The idea is to give to the 5$ tier patrons the renders in that resolution instead of the usual 1920, and to the 1$ patrons, I'll send the monthly reward with 1500px size.

I'll also reserver some of teh renders to only sent them with the monthly reward, like variations on the same scene, most of the WIPs and so, to further reduce the damage of the fraudulent patrons.

The renders poster here will continue to be 1280px max, and the ones posted outside here will be that or less. This way I'll increase a bit the reward for the legitimate patrons and at the same time I minimize the impact of bots singing in.

Also if you follow me on FA or Tumblr, you may notice that I do not post all the content I upload here anymore, so this way I increase the reward for you all a bit more.


And last I'm thinking of moving the payment methos to "pay upfront" it will not affect to any of you that are already supporting me here, but I think it maybe will help with the bot problem.

So what do you think? your oppinion is important to me :-)


Thanks for reading this wall of text!

so in short, we get higher resolution, pay upfront, and more pics only in the monthly packages?

I like the idea. Whatever you decide. I will stick with you. I love your work!

Yes, but if I increase the resolution/size, each pic will take longer so it will be less renders per month, but in higher quality/size.

Thanks! I believe that the chages are an improvement, even if it means a little less content :-)

I'm for it!

Indeed Pay upfront is your safest bet. And I am sure no honest patron would have anything against it. Those who only want to reap the benefits and not support you do not deserve to see anything.

Well... if thats what it takes, then by all means do it. I don't mind :)

Thanks, I think the pay upfront is fair, but it also could be seen as a bad thing and it is irreversible, that's why I wanted to think about it and hear your opinions on it. Last month I got 20 of those faudulent patrons, and I got a bit alarmed by it.

I don't mind at all and it is the best option

Ty! I'm glad to see that it has a good reception. I believe that it will be a nice solution to the problem.
