$120 CAD would cover everything comfortably which is about 1 day's wage so if my work on multiple games is worth that at all, please consider at least sharing my posts around to help them reach a bigger audience. I also do full art character comms and scenery art for the same price (1 slot each)

Any extra will go to a grocery run because I'm on my last couple days before I absolutely have to do one and I currently have to decide if I want to be a little hungry or get heat exhaustion going into May (already accepting that I will not be sleeping as money for 🍃 for PTSD is out of the question)

Hi hello, if you enjoy my games/art and have anything to spare, my apartment still has no air conditioning. It gets up to 80°F in here with multiple fans and all windows open on warm days. I am heat intolerant. I can get one secondhand, just need the extra money to cover it 🥲 ko-fi.com/inkusalters

I'm calling it done here behold a very glowy painting ...I think I want to paint more concert photos in neon like this. Killing Dolls next?

Neon acrylics on black painting of the band Tommyrot performing their reunion show at Koozys this year. The lights are heavily stylized for the surreal feeling that comes with putting colourful sphere lights in a bar and glowy particles appear to emanate from the band. Palette used was blue, purple, pink, orange, and yellow neons, with solid white and black and a transparent glow in the dark.

If my work means anything to you, please consider tossing a coin to your maestro-of-the-horrors so I can grab some no prep food to get me through this last week. C-PTSD is living hell and every year the end of March knocks me on my ass. I have to do this one without ADHD meds. inkusalters.itch.io

Old art to me, new art to all of you I wanted to show that I have been dabbling in the horrors for some time now

A human heart messily painted with acrylics on canvas. A honey dipper drizzles neon pink-tinted blood over it, and the scene is surrounded by similarly coloured bloody handprints.

A very tiny painting of a heart under a blood-drizzling honey dipper. The canvas is about an inch wide by an inch and a half tall. There's a D20 for scale

A small terrified yet forcefully happy-looking clay head with hollowed out eyesockets from which the orange glow of an embedded tealight illuminates its bleeding, shriveled, and unmoving face.

A note was included with this to not store it in front of a mirror less it gain life and haunt the owner.

Digital drawing from around 2020 of Ashiok, the nightmare Magic the Gathering character, holding several lotuses. Their cloth parts to reveal a river of blood lined with skulls along its edges, and the scene is lit by floating shards and dots of magical energy

Paying for either of these right now helps me pay to replace the aquarium filter my turtle broke (again 😒) Literally anything helps, even the $2 zine! The PDF contains the base for an entire mutant language you can use in pretty much whatever, as well as more information about the world of Vekari!

Enoch, Acro, and Iliana are using their combined strengths and powers to stop Kori from recklessly crashing down into a bottomless pit as she crushes some poor creature under a combination computer and aquarium in a glitched warehouse hallway. The hallway has a bottomless pit, with a doorway in its wall that Enoch stands in while using his magic. A door in the ceiling reveals a warped curved tunnel and Iliana holding on for dear life while trying to also keep hold of Kori's wrist. Acro sits under the open warehouse door, sending three twisting tentacles with deformed suckers flying out into the hallway in attempt to catch Kori. Teeth and a tree grow into the hall on the left, and Maury Lyle's spider form's shadow can be seen behind Kori on the floor. The background is coloured using lights matching the main colours of the 4 characters that leave dulled hues so the characters can pop - purple, green, and blue

Shoutout also to the big population event where Herrus began kidnapping beings from other planets/ships and wiping their memories for his amusement, resulting in the strange disappearances of some of the last humans from their colony ships after Earth was destroyed and the broadcasted death of Flek.

The first resulted in inhumane mutation testing on kidnapped Exiun in an attempt to make super-beings intended for war, conducted by the Disciples of Tises The second resulted in mass casualties as The Alchemist tested their ideas of merging human consciousness with technology on captives #Vekari

Vekari: Remote Bypass cover art featuring main characters Iliana, Acro, and Enoch using their combined powers and might to save Illy's gf Kori from falling into a bottomless pit as she crushes a combo computer and aquarium into a glitched creature, dangerously close to the edge of the aforementioned pit. The hallway they are in is a glitched warehouse, with nonsensical details like misshapen teeth and a tree growing from concrete, seamless floors walls and ceilings, wires that lead nowhere, and little glowy mushrooms sprouting from nothing.

4 hours in, 4 more to go

Enoch, Acro, and Iliana from Vekari: Remote Bypass preventing Kori from falling to her death as she stomps some poor creature with a server/aquarium dangerously close to a bottomless pit in a glitched warehouse hallway. A shadow of a being with spider-like limbs growing towards the characters is visible on the ground in the distance, the being obscured by a bright light. Large teeth that look more wrong next to the wall frame a dark hall in which a tree grows out of the warehouse wall. All in greyscale except the characters so they stand out

If you aren't really a gamer, more of a bookworm, but you enjoy choose your own adventure novels and having people to discuss your choices with, being a part of the story in a way you can't get from a pre-written book, and figuring things out before the characters do, Vekari is also for you!

If you are looking for something so unprofitable you won't find a company making anything like it and it ends up having the most unhinged writing and choices possible, something that is nostalgic yet new, and is guaranteed to not have gen AI, Vekari is for you.
