Sneak peak at the upcoming "Bendy and the Silver Screams" graphic novel
They must be paying Arizmendi one mere cent per day because what Is this quality. The exit doors being copied over and flipped, the shadowy figure too, Andy (the protagonist we see) doesn't even look scared in the last panel.
Alex Arizmendi if you're being severely underpaid and/or rushed blink twice for help
Hey fandom, who'd be interested in me hosting a map type fandom project to redraw the Dreams Come To Life graphic novel ?
I've had the idea to host something like this for a bit now. It would act as both a protest against the abysmal quality of the artwork and designs within the book, but also as a love letter to show Meatly and Mike that we want them to care as much as we do about their series. I'd love to hear your thoughts and if you'd be interested in participating.
@wynandcore's reblog got me thinking about the colouring in the graphic novels. So, I tried to see if they were right.
We all know the usual "piss yellow" of the original novels, as well as their gradient shading, as seen on the left. It doesn't compliment the lineart at all, the white on the yellow looks jarring and in general, it looks poorly thought out.
What I did was used a wider range of yellows and browns. I used cel shading and removed the gradients. Already, it compliments the style better !!
Below cut is the lineart for this so you can try colouring yourself, too !!
In order from left to right-
Full page with shading, first panel without shading and first panel with shading.
Tag me if you do this, I wanna see what the community does !! Let's do justice for Alex Arizmendi's artwork !!

PLEASE SUPPORT THE DCTL REDRAWN PROJECT PLEASEE READ THE POST. WE NEED TO BOYCOTT AND PROTEST THIS THING (see #dctl redrawn for more)
THEY REPLACED THE ORIGINAL BOOK WITH THE GRAPHIC NOVEL ON AMAZON. OUTRIGHT REPLACED IT. LOOK AT THE REVIEWS HERE THIS WAS REPLACED !!!!!!
THEYRE FORCING PEOPLE TO BUY THE NEW ONE HOW WILL PEOPLE GET THE OLD ONE !!! THIS BOOK ALREADY HAS SO MANY ISSUES AND NOW THIS ? REALLY ?? MAKING THE ORIGINAL INACCESSIBLE ON AT LEAST AMAZON ???
I will admit, I've been procrastinating on this project for a WHILE now. I want that to change !! However, I'll also be going to college soon which means things may be a bit harder to organise time for, and using my phone instead of my trusty pc can cause some issues depending on apps and focus issues.
HOWEVER - PART 2
So far, we've been gathering notes for character designs and tried our best summarising every chapter so we could then look through and pick out which ones to keep, shorten, or exclude entirely from our graphic novel. After a very long time of people struggling with finding the time or energy to add to both documents, we're going to host a VOICE CHAT on our Discord server, read through the book together and note down everything we find. We don't know when or how we'll do this just yet, but we WILL make a plan and follow through with it eventually !! As for now, we can always use more members to help us plan and brainstorm for this project !! Anyone is free to join, even if not an artist, to help us out (and have fun in the server - it's a lovely place !!)
Also worth mentioning, the host lives in the UK which unfortunately is implementing censorship laws (stuff like giving your ID to view content deemed "inappropriate" aka nsfw stuff and things deemed a political threat to our government) and have a good chance to worsen with time. If anything DOES happen that prevents me from hosting the project, I'll think about either postponing it until the laws potentially get repealed, or handing over the project to someone in a country that's unaffected. We sincerely hope nothing of the sort happens, but I only say this here just in case something goes wrong.
