An Update Regarding The Artbook(s) (Patreon)
Content
First of all let me express my gratitude for your support because it is definitely the reason why I can spend my time on and for these artworks of mine.
Some new patrons mostly asked me this question "when will I get my artbooks?" There is no need to worry about it, new patrons will get their book on the next month after they pledged. So if you put a pledge this month (October) you will get your book later on November. I usually share the book on 25th of each month.
Then I do know that some of old patrons sometime didn't get their book, this is mostly caused by the error when sharing the book or because your mail is not linked to Google Drive. If you have this sort of problem just send me a message with your mail that got Google Drive on it and I will share the book to you ASAP!
Now on the most pressing issue. Seeing as there will be three volumes of artbook soon, I will share it periodically to all patrons. This will mostly affect the new patrons as most of old patrons already got their first and second volumes.
So here how things will work:
New patrons will get their first volume on the next month after their pledge and then the second volume on the next month, and the third volume on the next month and so on.
"Aslind, why don't you just share the link to the artbooks file then rather than sending it one by one specifically?"
Yes, in a sense this will really make things easier but at the same time this will make it easier for "scummy" to just pledge steal all the artbooks and then go away.
Then, there are around 200+ of you now (which is amazing by the way!), and I will be sending the book by putting your mail address one by one on the g drive file to share it to you. Doing this will lessen the problem of having too many errors when sending the file later and also make it easier to track who have a problem with which volume if it do happens.
Whether we like it or not there are a lot of thieves in patreon and I have experienced it myself. A few months ago lots of my exclusive patreon contents were stolen and uploaded somewhere else on the internet. Of course I tried to fight this to the best of my abilities but there's only so much I can do about it.
This turned out to be a very long and probably boring post for some of you but, I think I need to address this to avoid confusion in the future. I am really sorry if you feel any inconvenience about this and also thank you for spending your time on reading this post. If you have any question feel free to leave a comment below!
