hi, Orlando, it's me again, I have to say, I'm really sad about you stopping posting fnaf stuff, I literally started my tumblr account to follow you, to follow your awesome art, I know how it is to get something you've made stolen, but you can't let yourself down just because of that, you have lots of fans that admire you, you can count on us to help you, don't be afraid of being stolen, if you're afraid of everything that might happen to you, you won't do anything of your life anymore

Aye, I apologize to disappoint. It really isn’t my intention to make those that may like my FNAF art upset. But given what would reoccur with it, I wanted to stop it. And by all means, I’m aware there are quite a few folks out there who have actually helped me with these thefts/tracings. (Heck, I would not have known/been aware of pretty much all of them without you folks, and I can’t thank you enough.) But that also made me feel a bit guilty and apologetic to folks. 

Guilty, because it was happening fairly often and I don’t want anyone to start being annoyed if they find themselves wanting to inform me of this same problem over and over again.

And apologetic, because my Tumblr would become more of a place for informing of thefts of my art, rather than the art itself, and I’m sure that’s not what folks like to see.

Though, I haven’t stopped posting all my art here. As I’ve mentioned before I’m not just a ‘FNAF artist’, and it certainly isn’t all I draw. It doesn’t tend to pop up as frequent as my Five Nights work, but that’s because I’m not used to regularly posting anything else here. :)

An artist can only expect themselves to be at risk of art theft the very moment they post something online, no matter who they are. Granted, this is not some kind of obligated thing that should have to happen to every one that posts online, but it unfortunately can still happen. But by all means, that definitely doesn’t keep me from doing what I enjoy doing most. Especially if I’d like to make a living out of it as well, at that.

I appreciate the concern, though, thank you! <3
