A patron brought up an important topic that I hadn't addressed just yet -- reposting your artwork!
*As of right now, I don't have any restrictions or clauses in my TOS that discourage reposting your commissioned work*. This is okay!
^ I'm still working out my Patreon upload schedule and didn't feel like it would be right to impose restrictions on re-uploads just yet, especially if I were to tell my client "I don't know when you can re-upload this." It just didn't feel right, especially since "early access" for lower tiers is a new perk that I just introduced.
So, PLEASE, do not feel guilty or delete anything you may have already uploaded! In fact, I've given some patrons the green-light to re-upload their commissions. You haven't done anything wrong at all if you have re-uploaded!

Going Forward
Starting in October, I will be adding this clause to my TOS: "you must wait *at least* one week after I upload your piece to Patreon, before you may repost the LQ version of your work on social media." This will keep things fair for patrons who pay to see HQ versions of artwork & early access.
Don't worry - after I finish your piece and upon delivery, I'll let you know the exact date that you'll be able to repost so that you don't need to chase me around to find out. In the same vein, upon completing your commission or YCH, I'll deliver your full-size HQ version along with a smaller LQ version for social media re-uploads.
Thanks for sticking with me through these first few months of me starting up! I'm learning a lot each day, and your input & suggestions help me to be better.
