Patreon Art Theft (Urgent) (Patreon)

Hey, I was just made aware that someone has been posting my Patreon exclusive on Deviantart. These images weren't meant to leave this platform and it's very frustrating for me to see the things I make special for Patreon outside of this space. I'm seeing what I can do about getting them taken down or reported. There were 3 pieces posted, 2 of which were exclusive alts I didn't post anywhere else. The file names and everything are the same.

Please, if you're a part of this community, do NOT share the alts or my exclusive pieces outside of this space. I'm just asking very nicely, out of respect. Not only does it ruin it for me, by sharing the pieces I wouldn't otherwise be comfortable posting all the time, but it also ruins it for you and everyone else here. It spoils the rewards you get, to be frank. I try to keep my Patreon affordable, and I ask for very little in return. It feels like a slap in the face when I see stuff like this happen. I mostly feel bad for you guys, and the people who DO respect the community, and my art.

I'm disappointed, and if it continues to happen I'll have to rework the way I run my Patreon - which would mean price increases or blocking access to past rewards from months prior. I just beg you, please enjoy the rewards for yourself in privacy.
