Y’all are incredible!! Thank you everyone so much. We’ll be reassessing our financial plans based on this and likely bump our goal, but this is going to open so many doors that unfunded projects wouldn’t have access to by giving us so much financial independence as a collective.

We’re SO close to hitting our initial monthly funding goal! Thanks to everyone who’s been donating, we’ve been able to pay folks who generally can’t manage volunteer work to help us with building out our tool and get the word out!

please help us boost our campaign!

Thank you so much for 1k! To celebrate, we're hosting a creation share! All creations count, but we ask for NO AI, and that all NSFW be labeled correctly. We will repost all creations today which fit the below specifications!

Thank you for putting your trust in us! We look forward to serving you.

Exciting news, everyone! As Conjured Ink nears its first beta, we'd like to share with you our roadmap of updates for the next two quarters. These quality of life and system changes will help pave the way for what we hope to become: a home for your incredible works! Thank you!

(we're 2/3 of the way there now, btw. Y'all are incredible. We may also have found a way to save a lot of money that would've gone towards expensive formation things)

Thank you everyone who's contributed! We're now over 50% to our monthly funding goal, which will allow us to be a pretty reliably sustainable volunteer-run organization that is still able to spend money on e.g. legal, hardware, hosting, etc, costs as we need in order to fulfill our mission!

Conjured Ink is now accepting both one time and recurring donations!

Here's another pair of characters, from another artist in our collective. Who's your favorite? The bird? The cat? Do you love them both? Let us know, and join for updates and even helping build this thing! https://conjured.ink

Itch and Steam got a bunch of us thinking; we need a catalogue where creative works are less vulnerable to censorship. A storefront we won't be delisted from. One giving us the autonomy to sell our stuff our way. So we're making Conjured Ink. You can join us. https://conjured.ink

We're building something radical, personal, and empowering. Our little collective is called Conjured Ink. What, specifically, are we doing? Breaking the chains of monopolization and large platforms that limit creatives. Check it out at htps://conjured.ink

These two inky girlfriends were drawn to represent, in part, Conjured Ink and what it can become. We have other characters, too, from various artists in our collective. You can join, and help build something that breaks the stranglehold of large platforms over art. https://conjured.ink
