the importance of being decentralized
Added 2018-06-20 22:53:05 +0000 UTCA week later, patreon has lifted the suspension...no specific content was cited, no changes were made; it was just suspended one day, and then summarily deemed okay, upon a second look from Trust & Safety...appreciate that, but doesn't really inspire a lot of trust in the platform (insert gif of Palpatine saying, "Ironic.")
Will say the incident caused me to really think about this project more than i have in the last year, and i'm grateful for that. Had become kind of a hermit, hidden behind patreon's paywall, for the last couple years, and that's not been helpful. Going to branch out and decentralize: putting a new crappy site up, this month. Will make more use of social platforms. Going to do a new crowdfunding thing where i can get out stuff that i haven't been doing on patreon. Will keep patreon going as a distribution point, but definitely won't be so reliant on it, going forward, after seeing how quickly and arbitrarily it can be taken away.
Also, grateful for making some interesting connections with a couple others who've found themselves in a similar boat, over the last week. Hopefully some worthwhile collaborations will arise out of this.
Anyway, sorry for that! Here's the second part of Kat in a Hannibal inspired look. Zip here: https://we.tl/AtwJmfJWGp

Fantastic work all around!
2018-07-12 01:18:47 +0000 UTCthank you! Yeah, it got prohibitively expensive at the end, between bandwidth costs and having to hire someone to near-constantly unfuck the site from several problems. I was doing multiple things wrong with it; think i've learned enough, since, to get better results on a far, far lower budget.
2018-06-26 03:38:53 +0000 UTCHi , I really love the old site that I stumbled upon a few years ago so was it just to expensive to do that way ? I would have no problem helping support your own site for Kat content alone but after a few weeks here I just dont care for Patreon at all and then magically shutting you down ? Oh and on the old Veidt.com site I never saw anyone create more artistic photos with less so dont ever lose your passion .
