Sorry for the late update everyone! The holidays and personal life caught up with us this past week, but we want to make sure we do update you. As of the 25th, our Dev added our post blur to the site. Adding our CW tags was giving him some technical difficulties, but he should have that added shortly. Our support team will then be testing both of these, to make sure they work properly, and that the CW tags are easy to use and understand. Once this is underway, we’ll have a better idea if anything needs to be changed or fixed before launching these tools, and the site! We apologize for the delays, but would also like to thank you for your patience.
Hello all! We have another short but important newsletter about a 2.0 update. As always, the text is too long for the body of a bsky post, so you'll find it in the ALT text of this image!
Newsletter announcement with Bo drinking a cup of hot chocolate with a thought bubble of a heart floating above him. Behind him are orange autumn leaves.
We've just announced InkBlot 2.0's release date! Check out our newsletter to also read our updated content guidelines (we'd love your feedback!)
open.substack.com/pub/inkblota...
We're postponing our usual monthly newsletter to be a mid-month newsletter instead. We've already made some important announcements in the last week, and don't want to spam your inboxes! The September Financial Report will hopefully come with more 2.0 news mid-October, so please look forward to it!
After discussing our options as a team and with the board, we have decided to cancel the 2025 Summer Sprint.
Future drive activity will be postponed until further notice. Updates on our next drive, when available, will be communicated via Substack and Discord.
A picture of Bo, a black cat mascot, holding a pencil as big as himself is on the right of the image. On the left the text reads, "2.0 Update, Content Guidelines & Censorship Get an update on the latest development, an upcoming content guidelines revision and how to help fight Censorship"
The Newsletter about 2.0 update, the black screen on 1.0 has arrvied! This newsletter also talks about our Content Guidelines and some censorship issues InkBlot may face in the future. Please read for some important details! open.substack.com/pub/inkblota...
This is just a very quick update on the current state of the InkBlot site! We have seen the comments about the grey screen, and this wasn’t planned or expected while we migrated to 2.0. We will speak more on this in a couple of days, but wanted a message out now while we work on an early newsletter. For now the original InkBlot site reroutes to the newsletter while 2.0 is being finished up, tested and getting ready to launch for our current users.
Quick small newsletter update: ALT has the newsletter text in it as the message was too long for bluesky's post limit!
If you have any questions about the fundraiser, the dates, or your application, please contact us at drive@inkblot.art.
Volunteers will undergo a brief 30 minute orientation on Discord (no mics required, only listening to our presenters) before the drive begins.
Applications are due September 30th by 11:59 PM MST.
Our team of volunteer artists will be responsible for fulfilling donor sketch requests. These sketches typically take no longer than one hour, and are not required to be colored, lined, or rendered. All artists are welcome to apply, regardless of medium or style.
Volunteers will help our fundraising team complete donor sketch requests during the length of the drive. Volunteer pod leads will coordinate small teams of volunteer artists, picking sketch requests for them according to their interests and delivering them via automated system.
A volunteers wanted flyer for InkBlot Art's "Summer Sprint 2025" fundraiser. The flyer is designed like a postcard, with scrapbook paper and memorabilia framing the postcard. The text reads: Greetings From Inkblot! SUMMER SPRINT 2025. CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS. DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 30TH

Hey everyone! We have an important newsletter update, this is mostly about a policy update, but there's also the VOD from the Q3 Town Hall.

An image with an overview of the June InkBlot Newsletter. To the left is text that reads "June Newsletter: 2.0 Update, May Financial Report, Summer Zine Event, and Drive Thank you! Check inside for some news on 2.0, the usual Financial Report, information about a new CE Team..." To the right is a beach background, with Bo - the black cat Mascot of InkBlot, floating on a blue floaty and drinking a coconut. Tai - the red butterfly mascot of InkBlot, floats next to him.
It's June so that means it's time for another Newsletter! This one is a long one as we also have a round up and thanks from the Achilles and the Drive Team, but it's a good newsletter!

Thank you Nya for the recommendation! Our signups are closed at the moment while our Dev works on moving us over to our 2.0 launch, but please keep an eye on our bluesky/newsletter/discord for updates about when signups will re-open once everything has settled down!
A screenshot of Megan the Director of Finances making an announcement about the InkBlot 2.0 launch in the InkBlot Discord. The photo reads: "Site Transfer Update First and foremost, just in case you didn't see, but at the top of your InkBlot homepage once you're logged in - there's a place to see the current status of the site ! The Dev hard at work on the transfer ran into an unforeseen technical issue which will unfortunately delay the launch of 2.0. He's hard at work getting us back on track and Jay should have a video update for you all on it in the next couple of days. We apologize about another delay, but please understand this one was out of our hands! (For once Bo wasn't let into the server room to chew on cords /j) We appreciate your excitement and your patience so far, and look forward to sharing more information with you in Jay's video in the coming days."
Here's an update on the launch of 2.0! For a text version please refer to the alt text! The link mentioned is this one; status.inkblot.art/cmalufcsc001... !

Hi there! 👋
Creating fantasy art, sharing fanart and commissions
Open for new orders ✨
Thanks for hosting! I'm Cheyn, an artist from the Philippines. Sharing the art that I made for me and my team's recent project:
bsky.app/profile/imah...
Hello and thank you for the share! I am an amateur artist and here are my drawings:
A bear/lizard hybrid anthro/furry kneeling on the forest floor, with cracks of glowing green magic going through the group from hand and also tail that is embedded into the ground. He is wearing dark pants and shin armor, as well as a shoulder pauldron on one side with leather straps going over his bare furred chest. He's looking down at the magic with glowing green eyes, and has dark blue hair with a dark magenta streak in his bangs. Beside him magically grows sundew fly trap plants, and you can see vines growing behind him and crawling up the forest trees in the background.
A black and white inked drawing of a busty fox woman holding our her hand to you with a small smile. She has 2 sets of ears and a set of small wings on her hear, wings swirling around her and a halo above her head. All would be well except she has countless eyes all over her body looking at you. 5 on her head, and many across her arms, thighs and wings, observing you, however she is looking at you with love and compassion so perhaps all is well after all.
A water/swamp themed dragon of various greens and blues, ranging from a sky blue, to a grass green, a forest green and some earthy olive greens. They are curled around, with you only seeing what parts come into view. Their head swivels into view at the top left, looking intently at you, while their neck curles and body goes across the screen and you can just see parts of it's feet and tail. The frills on its face and along its back look gooey with dark spots, like tapioca pearls inside molded jello. Definitely a water creature.
Portrait of Temrin, snarly smiling at the viewer with a split tongue peeking out of the mouth. Blue eyes are glowing, hair is flipping in around in the wind and large ears off to each side frame the bright moon in a black background. Temrin's hand is coming forward, blurred slightly and is wielding fire magic which is lighting the character up. Character is black, with red markings and blue skin/tongue/claws.
Hey folks! I'm Temrin, a freelance fantasy Artist, digital and traditional, and an event runner. I've been taking part in InkBlot's membership drives for a while now ^_^
