IMPORTANT: Please spare a few minutes of your time to read this.
Due to a rampant sampler issue as well as a third party site that reuploads stolen patreon content, I have been forced to make important changes on how I will handle rewards.
What's going on?
people are stealing Patreon rewards via various security loopholes.
Can something be done to prevent it?
Yes, rewards can be sent to each patron individually, preventing theft completely.
What's changing then?
I will keep posting WIPs, and finished artworks here at the patreon page BUUUUT, those finished artworks will be a water-marked, low resolution sample. I will send the full resolution, unwatermarked version to each patron vía mailing list. For this I need you guys to give me an email address that's active and in use so I can send the rewards there.
Will the rewards fit in an email?
no. not at all. A single HD artwork weighs around 20 mb or more, I will however send a dropbox link to circumvent this. You can then visit this link and collect your rewards.
What about exclusive rewards? I will post a tease similar to the ones I post on twitter. I'm doing this so people who use Patreon are properly notified that I completed an artwork. That way no one will miss rewards.
What about external patrons? This change doesn't affect external patrons. They will still receive their rewards the same way as before.
I'll be implementing this change next month. So please all patrons, give me an e mail address to add to the mailing list so I can send you all the rewards as I complete them, If I don't receive your emails by March 1st, I will use the one you provided to patreon for account creation. NOTE: YOU CAN FREELY CHANGE THE EMAIL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAILING LIST. Contact me any time to change it or for any questions or doubts you might have.

EDIT: I will also send the dropbox links vía Patreon DM, so check whichever you prefer. You can also tell me to stay with one and opt out of the other.
Thanks everyone for your support once again.
Forever grateful to you all;
