For the last couple of months we’ve received many reports of Kaito’s - one of our OCs - images being stolen, renamed and made into AI botchat for their personal purposes.
These people impose different names, personalities and ideologies on these so-called characters whose image (our artworks) is still Kaito, thus truly saddens us.
Regardless of whether Kaito is being used for profitability, it is still a blatant extortion of our creation. Every time this happens it costs us time and mentality to deal with, without getting an apology in return.
These incidents severely affect our productivity and motivation to create, thus incentivize us to come up with a long-term solution instead of dealing with each and every case.
Be assured that we do not want these individuals to damage our patron’s benefits.
At the same time it has also come to our awareness that it’s high time we presented an OFFICIAL series for Tehran, Kaito and Shalem in order to avoid our OCs to be recognized as just “a random character from a random BL comic” that can be stolen and maneuvered however people want.
In order to balance our workload we’ve decided to cut down resources spent on monthly NSFW AUs and make some time to create the official comic series, which we hope for your understanding.
For now our team consists of only two artists - I (Stuki) and Tora - however we’re looking forward to hire full-time assistants soon so as to maintain a stable monthly content.
The amount of work and budget dedicated to our future plans are undoubtedly going to increase, but we think we can manage given the number of patrons at the moment.
We do not know for sure how long it will take to finish an (official) arc, however we presume the NSFW AUs will be posted at somewhat a later time in comparison with our usual update, but we’ll try our best to stabilize our posting schedule so that everyone can enjoy our spicy dishes regularly.
Thank you for reading and we hope for your support as always!
