Hello all,

As many of you might already know now, my Twitter account @whispfornothing got suspended today. For over a year now, I've been battling against unjust copyright strikes/DMCA claims for drawing characters from the various Nintendo franchises (Pokemon, Animal Crossing, etc). These DMCA claims essentially remove my content from the platform and flag me for abusing copyright laws until proven innocent. For the most part, each and every time I contested these decisions, my tweets were retrieved, sometimes months later. After receiving a couple more of these claims these pasts weeks, following inaction from the Twitter Legal team after sending counter-notices, they finally took action and locked me out of my account.

So what's next ? Firstly, I created a new Twitter account, WFN_Art. This will be a replacement to my original Twitter account, and I will keep using it as my new hub of activity going forward, unless the OG account gets recovered. You will also find a thread there with more information on the subject. Secondly, there will be no more Nintendo art. At this stage, and after trying so hard for the past couple of months to keep it going, I now need to take action in order to protect myself. I will no longer draw Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Mario etc. in the future (except for the MilkyClover project). I am essentially censoring myself, but this will help me to prevent incidents like these from ever occurring again in the future.

Alternatively, you can find SOME of my work on Furaffinity (excluding animations) : https://furaffinity.net/user/whisperingfornothing/… 

You can also check out my work over at e621, (animations included) : https://e621.net/posts?tags=whisperingfornothing…

Thank you all for the support as of late, you've all been amazing. And I truly apologize for the inconvenience. I'm doing my best to salvage the current situation as best I can. 

Take care everyone.

Damn, that's harsh. I always did like your OCs and commission work better, though.

Wait patreon sometimes judges their creators based on their activity on other sites, is there a risk you might get shut out of patreon?

What a load of fucking shit.

That's horse shit. So many fucking creators make NSFW art of other Pokemon but don't get any repercussions for it. That is not fair at all

As far as I'm aware, Patreon reviews the type of content you share and distributes on other platforms that doesn't fit to their own ToS. I fit their mold and follow their guidelines, it was Twitter's decision to suspend my account, not theirs. This shouldn't affect me here.
