Quick Question: How did you find my Patreon?
🕑 Added 2015-11-22 21:42:53 +0000 UTC Seriously.For those who became my patrons because you are Thai and have been following me on my Facebook's page, I get it since I promote my Patreon a lot there. Thank you again. You guys are awesome :D
But I literally have no idea of those who are not a fan on my FB and ended up supporting me. How did you find my Patreon? Or heck, how did you find me? Is there any other sites with Patreon supporters gather, discuss and share opinions? Or I am being talked about in some places?
Because I gotta say I got very few responses from DA and Tumblr (If you happen to find me from these sites, thank you fella)
Or did you follow me from the Uncraft World game? I would have to thank Team Shuriken for that.
I'm asking this because I really have no idea where else should I promote my arts. I have visited many art sites and gathered as much info as I could, but I still found none of them talking about me, so where and how did you guys find me in the first place? If the sites or communities you came from are fun to visit, I certainly would check it out!
This is starting to become more like an asking for a suggestion than just a question lol, anyway, I will be more than happy to know how my supporters acknowledged my existence! Feel free to comment, and also feel free not to. This is not a necessary question that you need to answer. If you don't want anyone to know how did you find such a lewd artist like me, I understand and respect that thought :)
This is a patrons-only thread though if you wonder.

Whoa so your finds was completely random I'd say. And thank you for help me with the viral promoting XD You're right about how I can't get everyone to like my works. I'd keep that in mind. However, I want to at least express my existence further as much as possible if I could (as long as it's into the right places) so even if they don't support me by becoming my patrons, they would somehow appreciate my being and share some opinions about my works. I just love seeing opinions. And wow I gotta appreciate the list of reasons you've put here. This is a great info.
Fuya
wow you have been following me that long? Do you still remember where did you find my art in the first place? I gotta say my skill was pretty crappy back then so I'm curious XD
Fuya
Oh I was about to give up on Tumblr promoting since it lead so few people here and I rarely got good traffic but I guess I would continue! Thank you for supporting :)
Fuya
My pics were posted on pinterest? I guess some LoL fans posted it there :)
Fuya
He mentioned by himself that I have a patreon page? Wow I need to thank him for that.
Fuya
Thank you! XD
Fuya
Thank you for the info, Darthjebus :)
Fuya
You have been a great folk here Zos. I'm happy you found me!
Fuya
Another reddit user! I see... I should keep drawing LoL at least once a month since so many of my fans here are LoL fans.
Fuya
Thank you for such a supportive mind you have :)
Fuya
You know, as an anime artists, we got hunted A LOT by these loli haters on DA and other places. It doesn't matter if you're posting loli there or not, if they know you draw loli at some point, you're satanic. I have met so many of these people that I gave up risking putting myself into the sort of places. (US people tends to be the extreme majority of this group, I'm sorry ;__;)

Never seen your FB, or anything else. Never even heard of you frankly. I have no idea how I ended up on Patreon somehow one night and never really used it, much less supported someone, so just searched around and found your's. Liked the art (And saw your Ahri drawing lol) so was like "Eh let's give this Patreon thingy a shot". As far as well promoting yourself if you are already on most / all media sites guess keep at it? Word of mouth is also a great form I feel like some people forget. And I mean I totally sent a few friends your way that I thought might be into it. Just keep in mind not everyone will be into art such as yours and not everyone wants to pay for it seeing as there is so much for free out there. And maybe some people just like video / games vs photos. Truth be told I prefer videos / any sort of animation and if not a scene vs single photo. But if you are wondering why I ended up supporting you, few reasons: *Loved the overall art style / quality. *You drew Ahri and other LoL characters like Riven (Not my fault they're hot xD). *You draw scenes (Not just single photos). *Draw some "non-normal" things vs just "humans" (Like Miqo'te - totally hot btw lol). *Never did Patron figured wanted to give it a go and support you at the same time. (People I feel forget the amount of time put into stuff like this).
I knew you very long time maybe 8 year and I see you again on facebook fanpage from Butter-T 2 year before I seriously follow you a year ago and see you talk about open patreon I'm really happy and become patron when you start patreon LOL
ChocoLatte
I also support him, same month I start supporting you but just a couple weeks later after some consideration ;)
JustAPoorBoy
I don't 100% remember, but I think I saw your stuff shared on Tumblr and one of the posts had a link to your Patreon.
Darkos
On Pinterest ^^
Probably Latte
Watched Jim Sterling's video on Uncraft World where he mentioned that you had a Patreon page.
Recommended by patreon and I'm happy they did.
Nelone
I'd like to yeah, it sounds fun! I'm just not sure how to start it yet haha.... plus i'm swamped in animation commissions XD!
PotentiallyToast
^ yus :D
PotentiallyToast
They're great xD I normally se them on the Co-optional podcast. I remember them talking about Uncraft world on the podcast with TB and Dodger xD. They were basically raging at how hard the game was haha but they did mention your art too haha.
PotentiallyToast
I could be wrong but to my knowledge its primarily the posting of Loli on reddit itself that they don't appreciate. I know some artists who post there but also do loli on other sites like HF etc etc, But I understand the hesitation lol, I could be wrong. And yeah Reddit is mostly USA/UK sort of audience but why not try to broaden your fan base xD I'm from the US after all haha.
Darthjebus
i was recommended by Patreon ,too
PotentiallyToast
THANK GOD FOR JIM STERLING!!! hehe.... you'd only get the joke if you watch his vids -__- lol
Zos
I saw one of your arts on danbooru... or maybe it was posted randomly on 4chan... hmm... Well, one of these two for sure. I really liked the style, so I did a reverse search and somehow I ended up finding a link to this patreon profile. And what a great find it was. :>
Vocaloid IA
From www.reddit.com/r/Rule34LoL/
Nification
I stumbled upon some of your stuff on a booru, saw that you had a patreon, and so signed up.
Fuya
Thank you XD
ニキ太
I found your pixiv art.
Fuya
animeflux is on Patreon? I didn't know that. Anyway, thank you!
Fuya
Gotta check their videos out! Thank you for the supports :)
Fuya
Good to know I'm on a recommending list :) Thank you!
Fuya
No way!
Fuya
HmongT is my good friend. He sure deserves some more supports and thank you for checking me up and supports XD
Fuya
Another Jim fan! Thank you :)
Fuya
I think that would be my own fanpage lol XD Thank you!
Fuya
badcompzero is a good friend of mine though I'm not really close to him. Gotta thank him for that :) And wow... seems like lots of my supporters come from Reddit. LoL fans especially.
Fuya
Thank you =) Hmm so many non-Japanese on Pixiv lately. This is good news.
Fuya
Oh so someone posted my arts on elohell. Well this is not unexpected but to have someone following me from there is quite interesting. Thank you Panda :)
Fuya
May be I should visit the place and drop some more arts there :D
Fuya
lol thanks XD
Fuya
haha Jim Sterling's video sure brought me a lot of new faces. Gotta thank him for that!
Fuya
Wow I never knew I'm recommended by Patreon itself since I'm not very famous. This is something new. Thanks for the info and your supports!
Fuya
Thank you sir :) It's always good to hear someone followed me here and there cuz they like my works. I appreciate your supports!
Fuya
I see. Gotta thank both of them for this. P'Patiroop helped promoting my Patreon back in my early months and it's one of the reason I got pretty good initial supports!
Fuya
Yeah I saw his video and someone dropped a link to my patreon in the comment section if I remember correctly. Thank you for supporting =)
Fuya
My pleasure to hear =)
Fuya
It's rare to find someone following me from twitter since I'm not very active there lol but I recognized you XD Thank you!
Fuya
Yeah I saw some of my stuffs leaked on Danbooru as well. I'm not promoting my arts on imageboards, but at least it brought you to my page :) Thank you!
Fuya
Your English is pretty good compared to other Thais on international communities. And thank you kub :)
Fuya
Seems like such numbers of supporter started pledging me from this kind of chain reaction. Good to know. Thank you!
Fuya
Oh have you planned on becoming a Patreon creator yourself?
Fuya
Gotta thank that artist you were pledging XD
Fuya
Oh so you're from Uncraft World. Thank you :)
Fuya
Hmm I will consider that. But I'm just afraid of Reddit and think it's more like an anonymous fan community. If the artist/creator themselves promote their own arts their, I'm not positive they'll get positive results. Plus Reddit is full of American and my works sometimes contain loli. I will sure be witch hunted a lot.
Ross Jamieson
Recommended pateron when I was browsing after looking at animeflux
adorbs
I was watching Jesse Cox and Wowcrendor on Youtube playing Uncraft World.
Mal
Patreon Recommended you to me.
Butter-T
A ads from being on the inside of the Porn . - 3 -
ChocoLatte
I found you by a pure coincidence! I saw 'HmongT' FB that he's on Patreon now. So I came and checked what's Patreon and then start to look for other artists too. Too bad Patreon searching system is hard to find 'what I want', so I start a little prying on who supports whom (tricky!) and found you! I like your 'Patreon introduction' on FB (which makes me want to support you right away, really) and I also like your art style. So I start supporting you even before HmongT! (Sorry HmongT). That's the story.
Po Do Do
Jim Sterling's video :P
Ta
From a FB page (I don't remember the name) that you draw short comic for them about how sorrowful to be an artist in Thailand
Ta
Thank god for Jim
I found you on reddit.com/r/rule34lol and before that i was a patron to badcompzero and a lot of people that were patrons to him were patrons to you. I checked out some of your art and i decided to support you.
Levy M
pixiv was where i found your art
Chirutai
Found you on hentai foundry!
JF
Nice thread! This is what you're looking for, right? xD
Totality911
I watched Jim Sterling do a video on Uncraft World, then went to find you for the, ahem, 'nsfw' pieces.
Twifan
I found your art through many different sources. But as for your -patreon- account, I must confess that I discovered it after becoming a patreon to another artist. After signing up, you get 6 previews of other patreon accounts that 'you might like' and l spotted some very familiar art that lead me here. So yeah, I came across it completely by random.
Grew89
I saw your Twitter account. So I checked on pixiv and some other image sites. And since when I can support you here directely and get the NSFW pictures as well, so I support you haha. Keep up the good work. I like your style very much!
Shanin
I know your patreon from some of my Thai friends in FB, P'Patiroop and K'Panu, if I remember correctly. But if talking about knowing your work pieces, I can't remember lol. Way too long ago, but prolly from a TCG, I guess.
Jay Ellis-James
Jim Sterling covered uncraft world on his youtube channel. The game didn't appeal to me but I liked your art style, so i decided to com support you
TheDarklingGlory
Yeah. It sucks that sometimes artists don't get the appropriate credit, but I make it a point to then support the artists I like.
Alexiverse
I was playing Uncraft World and it said who the artists who made the women were. I liked your style the most so I searched you up.
Twitter, actually. A friend was supporting so I looked into it and said "Hey this looks nice, let's go for it."
D-tor
Came across your Morrigan art on Danbooru, and it linked to your Patreon and I supported you since. Most uploads on Danbooru are Patrons uploading rewards for free though, so it's not exactly a great site to promote.
M1dNight-
I'm Thai and I saw your art from Butter-T. I try to support digital content as much I can after I can pay for it. Yeah, I like your style so I support you. PS still need to learn more writing English lol.
Fuya
If some of my patrons see his works are worth the support then it's my pleasure that I could help him out :)
Notice_me_Sin_Pi
when you pledge to someone, it shows artists that people pledged to in addition to the one you pledged to. I can't remember who, but you showed up on one of them and I liked your art.
Nelone
yep, from Uncraft World XP being a nsfw artist myself i got curious and had to check your stuff!
Found you through another patreon I was pledging, checked out your work, liked it, and decided to pledge
Judy B
Haha, I wouldn't know, I don't follow him / her.
Fuya
Have to agree with every word you put here (except I think Sakimichan is a her lol)
Judy B
Leaks are a double-edged sword, it gives people access to your work in illegitimate ways, but it is also undoubtedly a great way for people to find you. I feel like an arse saying this because I'm not an artist and it's not my content that is being stolen, so take it with a grain of salt. I believe that as long as your work is good, it's likely to get the support it deserves. Take for example Sakimichan. You can find Sakimichan leaks in two or three clicks, and that isn't stopping him from having a large number of supporters on Patreon. Perhaps it's just a matter of making people want to support you. Trust me, I don't have to pitch in 10 dollars to see your art, I do it because I legitimately want to.
PotentiallyToast
I guess I can see that... There's a lot of artists there who post free NSFW stuff so I can see where the whole anti-censorship thing comes from, I didn't really think of that -___- my bad lol. I don't know of too many other sites though DA and HF are the two big ones. The only other thing I can think of is promoting on sites like Reddit could help, posting links to finished pieces there is a good way to gain a lot of traffic. Obviously its a site where some people leak your stuff but I don't think that should be a reason to avoid it. Posting stuff in subreddits like /r/hentai /r/ecchi /r/awwnime (depending on the artwork obviously) could help you gain more of a following? The only thing i would say is be sure you're posting to the right subreddit and following the subreddit's rules, sometimes they can be pretty uptight about that sort of stuff xD
Fuya
Thank you for the suggestion but I'm already in HF but haven't posted much there lately since I noticed many people there don't appreciate Patreon and censorship so I kinda don't want to just barge in. I kinda understand their point tho
Aradae
Agreed! Well, these comments are free publicity for him, hopefully some people check him out!
Boneitis
Loved your art from uncraft world and wanted to see more
Fuya
Is that the channel made just for League of Legends hentai? Can't say I appreciate those leaks but if it brought me some supporters like you, then I guess it's fair, sometimes XD
PotentiallyToast
DA-mn right i'm from DA... hehe..he... -___- I like stupid puns I'm sorry haha xD But anyways in regards for recommendations The only two that really come to mind would be DA (which you already have) but know DA is a massive site so you're never really going to hear a lot about any one artist on there, there's just a ton of people on there, and the other one i'd say to have a look at would probably be HF (HentaiFoundry). It's basically the NSFW DA its a pretty big and well known site that a lot of other big NSFW use and maybe that could kick a few more followers your way! :D
TheDarklingGlory
Being totally honest, I saw some of your stuff posted on /r/rule34lol. I liked it, so I looked you up on Patreon and signed up.
Fuya
I noticed you're from DA :) Thank you very much for your supports!
Fuya
Good to know this! And yeah the game is REALLY hard once you've entered the harder stages. The end game content is almost impossible to beat lol
Fuya
Gotta thank Lasterk for that XD I hope he does better. His works deserve better.
Fuya
Mind explaining how you searched? Because I believe my page wouldn't show up on the Patreon search engine since I marked my creator page as NSFW
PotentiallyToast
I forget where I first saw your stuff, I'm pretty sure I originally found you while browsing DA and found your patreon though that haha. I remember I did ask you if you were open for commissions there hahaha xD but that was after i already found your patreon
Fuya
I see... So some of my early contents were leaked as well. Can't say I didn't expect that. A lot of my artist friends had been warning me this lol. And thank you for your supports! At least those leaks brought you here =)
Tristan
Uncraft World. I saw a couple of let's plays of it. Game looked too hard but I liked the art.
Aradae
I saw you post on one of Lasterk's updates, and he mentioned how your patreon was blowing up, so I checked it out and liked what I saw.
Searching for art on Patreon
Judy B
Content leakage. Figured I would support rather than steal.
