Log inNo more Special comics
Winter Wonderland will be the last bonus comic that I make, as I have said before that I won't make any more of these special comics if they get leaked, and I am a man of my word.
Unfortunately some asshole has leaked the latest Winter Wonderland on a pirate website, and what makes matters worse is that whoever leaked it is also charging people a subscription to read my comic, and the comics of other authors as well.
I made Winter Wonderland, and other bonus comics like "Timmy in Space", to show my appreciation to all of you guys that support me and my work, that is why I added the message to please not leak them, because I understand that comics will often leak, but it was my hope that whoever was doing it would be decent enough to understand that these comics were special, and my way of thanking everyone that has contributed to make the comics possible.
It seems though, that some people are just too greedy to care about artists hard work.
To pass off someone else's hard work as your own so that you can make money of it is nothing short of theft, and the person that did this (you know who you are) should be ashamed of themselves.
I am incredibly hurt and angry about this, because piracy is already a big problem for artists like myself, who spend countless hours writing, designing and rendering page after page in order to make 3D comics for you all to enjoy. In the past the leakers have at least had the decency to wait a few weeks before the stole our work, but now there are people who are not only leaking the comics, but also charging people money for work that they did not spend a single second contributing to. This kind of disrespectful behavior seriously hurt the people that put in the work to make this kind of content, and it has led many other artist, to either completely stop making comics, or transition into making games instead.
So to the person who leaked my comic, I hope you are proud of yourself because you have ruined a good thing for everyone.
EDIT:
Just to clear up any confusion, I am not quitting comics entirely.
I will still make regular comics like, Au Naturel, Timmy Strikes Back, Lost in the Woods and even create new series of comics.
But I will stop making specials like Spellbound, The Gift, Timmy in Space and Winter Wonderland.
Man I feel your pain. Sadly,it is always greed that ruin everything. Such a good artist as yourself deserves a better outcome. I must admit that in the beggining I discover yor work, thru a free-site; but when I found that you keep delivering such a good one, I decide to fully patronize your endeavor.I fully support your decision.
yeah like dis dudes greed for charging 25$ in the first place.
Judging by your comments, what are you 12? do your parents know you visit adult web sites?
No, they do not. And they will give him hell when Daddy finds out he used his Credit Card.
It's unbelievable to me how dumb some people can be. I have removed this guy's ability to comment due to his continuous insults and harassment. We don't need guys like him in our community.
that's sad
WOW! I'm going to miss your work. I understand why you doing this. I look forward to reading your new work once all the blown over.
I will not stop publishing my regular comics, I just don't feel motivated to continue putting in hours and hours of extra work to make bonus content like Winter Wonderland.
Sorry to hear that happened. I always loved your specials because they were like alternate realities to the reserved Brandi. To profit from you own hard work is nuts. Is there no way to get a footprint? Daval3d somehow is able to keep his very special comics from making it to public sites
I understand. This behavior is wrong. On the other hand, there are some minor positives. It was through a pirate leaked comic like this that I discovered you and was able to start supporting you. It's not much, but I hope more of us will be like this.
I suppose that is a positive thing and I really appreciate that you decided to support my work Tomáš, I also hope that more people will be like you.
That is just wrong. Simple request to subscribers but too simple it seems.
Understandable. Your work is exceptional. I wonder how the pirates would feel if I could just go in and take money from their banks accounts, because that is effectively what they are stealing from you, your earnings for your hard work.
Thank you, it's been really nice to see that people understand how bad this is.
I actually discovered your work in a pirate site. Eventually I realized I enjoy it so much I should get it legally so you can get paid!
A single rotten apple can spoil the bunch.
