It turns out that my fears were unfounded, and due to Patreon's poor, unclarified wording in their usage guidelines. Another creator asked them directly, and their answer is contained here: http://norasuko-art.tumblr.com/post/105922633201/hello-everyone-ive-received-multiple-e-mails
You can thank patron Temrin for making this clarification known to me.
It makes sense. I always figured the guideline was to prevent Patreon from becoming a paywall or all kinds of amateur home-made porn and camwhores, which can quickly cause the site to decay into endlessly repeating porn trash (like most of Tumblr). So, their prohibition pertains to photographic, not rendered material.
Therefor, nothing around here will change, after all. Sorry for any confusion.
