hi hello please look at this thing I worked very hard on. I don't know what else to say about it, I'm still busy working on comic stuff so I have no wording brain right now. but I'm very proud of this and wanna show it off so.
look!

Well, hm. Maybe no more Discord.

While it's probably reached everyone here's different servers by now, just in you haven't heard, Discord is going to be demanding ID/Face Scans for Adult/18+ marked content, channels and servers. And I do not feel safe giving them that information right now.
I don't know exactly what will happen to 18+ marked servers I own on Discord when this launches. I expect to be kicked from ones I don't own, but what about places I moderate? Will they just poof? Unsure.

It's very frustrating, but I'm facing the reality that I will have to pick up and move house again. I will see what naturally happens with this server if I just don't remove anything, but worst case scenario, it poofs. So this is a great time to remind people to be at least free-following me on Patreon / Subscribe Star if you want reliable updates of what comes next. I will be providing clear communication in these places when I have something new set up.

But I don't know what that will be. For regular Patreon / SFW art, if this one explodes, I might just make a new one, because it's the easiest thing to do. If it lets me keep this and I just need to shave out the NSFW, that will probably also be what happens.  And when I find somewhere better to be than Discord, I will move then.  

But the NSFW stuff? No idea right now, and it's also something I don't really wanna spend time researching at this moment of time. I have a deadline to meet on a project and too much previous trauma around being constantly kicked out of corners of the internet to meddle in that now.

so again, please make sure you're following the stopboorider patreon, the bisexualvending patreon, and/or the bisexualvending substar. All of them have free tiers available that do actually grant access to anything I can actually release for free, as they all work as tip jars right now.

Posting will still be erratic currently with said deadline and ALL OF THIS NONSENSE happening, but when I have energy to post, those will be where I make sure to post.

As always, thanks for the support. Hope to see you elsewhere. (or that discord drops this action but haha I don't expect that miracle.)
((also also there will be a sketchbook end of this month i promis))

Just under 3 years later, I've finally returned to update this sketchbook. 

Part of the reason I hadn't done so sooner is that when I first published this one, I was expecting to be trapped within the fandom for another like 3 years and perhaps end up making one or two more sketchbooks. Alas, life loves to take different turns and twists, and I found my world turned upside down for like two years, which also shifted my lovely AuDHD hyper fixation skill towards something new: Fallen London.

And unlike this other fandom, I feel REALLY GOOD ABOUT supporting Fail Better Games. I'm planning on making a sketchbook/zine of my new blorbo soon, so keep a look out for that! But past 2023, I've hardly drawn much of the inky demon fandom anymore.  And I really don't think I'm gonna draw much more of it, either (except for some exceptions, see below)

So, like 70% of what I've added to this zine was actually drawn back in 2023 or earlier; I've gone and added a bunch of not specifically erotic art but still leaning into shipping content pieces, as well as some arts of establishing character looks in some of my more odd AUs. I think actually having breaks of more tame stuff between all the bonking helps pace it out a lot better, and I'm glad to have a home for much more of my art where it's all sitting together instead of sectioned off by social media posting rules. BUT ALSO!!! About 30% of it is new!! LIKE BRAND NEW!!! I DREW IT THIS PAST WEEK NEW!!! NEVER BEFORE SEEN unless u subscribe OR EVEN HINTED ABOUT EXISTING IN PUBLIC UNTIL TODAY!!! Most of that is in slime AU and forest critter AU, because I had some left over ideas and sketches I wanted to get out before possibly putting them down forever. But there's also some Cthulhu stuff too...

1. Well, the Cthulhu Game isn't finished yet, but we're finally looking to actually finish it. I expect to end up drawing more Cthulhu as that happens, because if something is active in my mind, you know I'm thinking of drawing spice of it. There will probably be one more update to this sketchbook once I have really gotten the last of the Cthulhu out of my system and feel ready to move on from this fandom as a whole, finally.

2. You may notice that "Flower Shop AU" has been ripped out. That's because I've decided I'm just wholesale making this my own story and no longer leaving the attachments to its former fandom known. "Attachments" I say, when really there was hardly anything connecting it back to the original content beyond character names and extremely basic templates of their roles and personalities. But even a lot of those have changed far away enough from the original characters that I really don't even feel they're connected anymore. I was also having a lot of struggles keeping it an AU, trying to work in those connections back to the originals, which as soon as I dropped that it was easier to just focus on the story as a whole, and I think it'll be much better on its own. You'll find that content now uploaded under the name Gilded Arrangements in the hopefully near future, and I AM planning on adding a lot more to that story soon.

3. The single piece of "Minecraft AU" has been ripped out as well. This is because, upon further thought, it's much more of an ode to Minecraft as a fandom than this one. The characters initially moved over were based off Cthulhu rather than OG content, and really developed on their own in the craft'n world more so than ever linked back to the other fandom. So. Yeah, I have more content of that to publish, including a short comic I'm hoping to clean up?? And might work on that more in the future.

But beyond that, soon shall be the end of my inky demon fan art I think. Anything after will be scraps more than consistent flow... but if you liked my art here, please come see what I'm doing now with my gender weird mutant scandal disaster man in 1899 Victorian England!!! it's so kinky u guys it's sOOOO KINKYYYYY

Here's the link to the Itch.io version, which is free to download, if you want to share that with others instead of pointing them here:

InkVending - 18+ Sketchbook by bisexualvending (itch.io)

I'm so bad at updating my subscriber services (probably because I just don't have any subscribers) so I'm just making everything free instead!
Basically, for now, I'm using Subscribestar (and my NSFW Patreon) as age verification. You can join the discord server without signing up for either of them [here's that link btw] but if you want to see the NSFW channels, you need to at least be on a free tier on one of them. Since both Substar and Patreon are pretty tight with age verification on their own, I'm just trusting that if you manage to get an account and follow me thru them, you're probably 18+ or smart enough that I'd never know you were lying anyways. 

Other than that, yeah. It's all free now. I want people to see my art, and when I struggle to post it on social media because "oh gosh I haven't updated substar first" that just leads me into a downward spiral. Especially with social media really making it harder and harder to get eyes on art nowadays, I don't wanna put more blocks in the way.

Paid tiers get to dye their name funky colours in my discord server and will get first dibs on commission slots. But that's it. I'm hoping to spend my time doing art and projects to post instead of updating subscription services and hoping that by sharing those I will gain people who want to support me simply to see more of my work.

So if you sign up with moneys... Thanks!! It means a lot. <3

My only other updates right now are that I'm gonna try to shift from the "sketchbooks" style to making collections around themes... though we'll see if I can do that. Maybe I will find I enjoy just making collections of recent images more.
I'm also going to be working on stuff for applying to Don's Dead Market, which if you like my content I highly recommend checking out. It's put together by the artists I aspire to be when I'm done being chicken/tired about sharing my work. I'm hoping that if I can get into this, maybe I'll feel more free overall and stop limiting myself. Knock on wood (suggestive natured pun intended.)
