October Newsletter: New Forum (Outverse), Events, and More.
Read about our new all-in-one forum, current InkBlot events, and updates to start off the spooky season.
Happy October Blotters! Hope you all are enjoying the spooky season. We’ve got some fun stuff for October, but before we jump into the events, lets talk about what’s going on with InkBlot.
[NEW] Outverse (Suggestions) Forum
We’ve moved most of our stuff! We are centralizing all our beta tools into one place for easy access. You'll be able to find the feedback board, status board, and Knowledge base all in one place from now on (we will still keep our support.inkblot.art help center separate).
Announcements will also be made here as well. That way you only need your inkblot account and this forum for anything to do with our beta moving forward! No more extra accounts. Our closed beta for Instar will also be taking place here as well.
Check out the forum: https://app.outverse.com/inkblot-art-open-beta/
Changelog
Have you checked in with the changelog lately? No? I got you. We recently pushed some updates so be sure to read up on that here: September 21st 2023 - Changelog (yes, you can access this on outverse!)
Support/Help Center Clean Up
We’ve updated our support/help center to be nice and organized! Go check it out here: https://support.inkblot.art/en/
A New Assistant CM?!
That’s right! You’ve probably seen them around on Ko-Fi and Patreon - handling your membership related questions and sending out sticker related news. Rose, formerly our shop assistant, is now the Assistant Community Manager! (Don’t worry, they’ll still be handling all your membership and sticker needs.) See what they have to say about our events currently going on down below.
What happened to Angel?
Hi, I’m still here! But, I’ve dropped the “assistant” tag and am now officially the Community Manager of InkBlot. Want to read more about that? Check out my blog on IB: InkBlot Community Blog #3: Spooky Season is Just Around the Corner

Another one…
We have ANOTHER event for creators beginning on October 16th! Introducing Ink by BIPOC!
Ink by BIPOC is a month-long event that will showcase the creations of BIPOC creators! If you are unsure of what “BIPOC” means, it stands for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. From October 16th to November 15th, BIPOC creators of all art forms can follow our prompt list (below) or simply showcase their art using the hashtags #inkbyBIPOC and #BIPOCblotters so we can see you! You can follow along with the daily prompts or choose a few to create for throughout the month.
Draw with InkBlot is a Go!
If you’re in the discord, then you know that Angel was too sick to host the first community drawpile. But now they’re back and ready to draw with you! Come join Angel and some Inksters as they draw and chit chat with the InkBlot community over on Discord, October 20th at 11 AM PST.
Discord Server Bot
We’ve hired someone to make a discord bot for our official server! Soon, our go pro members who’ve subbed through InkBlot (not on Ko-Fi or Patreon) will be able to receive their supporter role and get access to the exclusive supporter lobby. The lobby is where we have open discussions about updates, features, stickers and much more!
Interested? Be sure to join our discord while we wait for the bot to get fully up and running.
Open MAP Call
The InkBlot Multi-Animator Project applications are now open to the public! All information can be found within the application form: https://forms.inkblot.art/map-application.
