I didn't want to make this post, but once again I'm finding my name being dragged through the mud by a stalker who has been pursuing me across the internet for the better part of 5+ years and I've had enough. I've been receiving multiple links to and promotions to said stalker's content by individuals who are innocently unaware of the ongoing legal battle I'm facing in getting this harassment aimed at me to stop once and for all.
I've consulted with my attorney and been given permission to share this as follows: The user A-Pen-and-a-Nightmare aka "Ashley" has been stalking, block evading, and otherwise engaging in targeted harassment towards me for years and it has reached a point where I am pursuing a restraining order. I have two documents (and a third WIP) detailing the problems I have endured over the past several years, from 2019-2025. I have screenshots, videos, and witness testimony regarding these events. I have spoken out on this in the past, and it continues to this day. I will share this documentation with anyone who wishes to see it, but I am done being the scapegoat of an individual who is very unwell and will not stop seeking to destroy me in any way possible. I am tired. I've had enough
The pride bats are back! I thought it’d be nice to regroup them into a matching poster.
The border on the moths one was changed to a rainbow gradient and some colours were tweaked for better readability/printing.

EDIT: I don’t use print on demand sites anymore, so the previous merch links have been removed - however, I uploaded PNG files >here<, >here< and >here< that you can download for personal use. Enjoy, and thanks for all the love on these little critters!🖤
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
Many messy drawings to express messy emotions. I've been a bit hesitant to post anything lately, but I genuinely like some of these colorwise, so let them be here
Plus, honestly, I just really wanted to doodle something with the cast being chill and cool around his eldritch form
(also I'm trying to avoid spoilers for ep 9, so please be mindful - thank ya <3)
I'm fascinated by how the animators for TADC handle Caine's impossible anatomy so well. There's so much to balance and they've somehow engineered a solution for his expressions to hold during speech.
I also traced Caine answering the phone from episode 4 to demonstrate his phonemes and mouth shapes.
Here's an evolution of my Bendy's design. He basically is the classic Ink Demon design but "toon-ified", and has gone through several changes over the years, and has a bit of a backstory for his development.
How was he conceived to begin with?
He actually initially started out as a tentative idea of Henry having been turned into a toon (one of the many theories circulating back in the early days of BatIM), and I intended him to be like a heroic counterpart to the Ink Demon, the same way you had Allison and Tom to Susie and Brute Buddy Boris.

What's with the weird hair?
The hair that's seen on his face was initially intended to mimic the Ink Demon's iconic ink-covered face. However, I quickly grew to dislike the rather "emo" look he had, and after several redesigns, it eventually evolved into a simple artifact left for nothing more than stylish reasons. (Most people seem to like it though.)
Weirdly enough, the hairstyle seems to have ended up loosely looking similar to Henry's own hairstyle when his model was eventually officially revealed in BatDR....

What happened to this original concept and what is his story now?
His original concept of "Henry Bendy" was short-lived and eventually abandoned in favor of something else entirely: a speculation on how the in-universe Bendy toon franchise would have evolved throughout the years to modern times, hence my "modernized" redesigns of several characters. Since it's implied even canonically that the cartoons are being continued even after Joey Drew's death (and also the fact we haven't seen much media regarding the cartoons, with Nathan Arch himself stating he wishes to continue "the legacy of Bendy"), I felt this was a more fun direction to take with my Bendy and his universe.

Does your current direction and speculations follow canon lore?
I like to keep faithful to the canon lore, both what goes on in the studio and in the in-universe franchise's media (like the comics), and also I like to take inspiration from real-life animation history as well (Walt Disney is a major inspiration), figuring out how the beloved franchise may evolve into modern times.
Weirdly enough though, several decisions I would make on his design would end up being "accidental predictions" of things in the canon games, such as Bendy having two forms, and an orange bowtie, both seen in BatDR later on.

I've been through a lot in real-life in the past few months, so I have not been able to draw any more of this project, or "AU", if you will...
Is there anything else I may have missed? What else would you want to see of this boy and his universe? Please let me know.
