Hello! It's WakesStudy from twitter! Decided to make a tumblr blog to share my Alan Wake 2 photography stuff elsewhere.

Forgot to post this here, but I’ve been experimenting with a new brush lately…

Am I really that bad?

A William Afton piece inspired by Laplace’s Angel by Will Wood!!

[wakesstudy]

Thinking a lot about the clothes William Afton wears in the fnaf films…

The first outfit we see him wearing is him as Steve Raglan, his pseudonym. It’s such a simple outfit at first glance: a button up shirt, some pants, glasses, and a tie. The tie is the immediate centerpiece: purple and green stripes. Purple for Afton, green for Springtrap (Springtrap isn’t green but it’s an association with the look of rot). The pants are plain and nothing too crazy, but the shirt is something really fascinating to me. It’s a regular button up with a plaid style, very 80’s and very dad coded. My grandfather used to wear shirts like this ALL the time. It’s the kind of shirt you’d see on any old regular dad, helping him create the illusion he’s a harmless middle aged guy. With a more casual shirt put together with a tie, it comes across as if he’s someone who doesn’t care too much about appearances, someone who dresses more casual to be comfortable. The glasses of course feel like a reference to Dahmer, a real life serial killer. After the second movie, however, it feels more like another way he tried to copy Henry and take from him.

His second scene happens so shortly after his first scene most people don’t even realize he’s in a whole new outfit. This time, the buttoned up shirt is striped and the tie is now purple with polka dots. This again goes back to my idea that he dresses like someone who wants to come across like he doesn’t care too much about appearances (the irony is that he absolutely does.) The way he constantly incorporates his favorite color into all of his outfits gives off the impression that Afton takes utter glee in being a little obvious as to who he is, knowing nobody would pick up on such small details. It’s why he also casually has a rabbit foot on his key ring: it’s a taunt.

Technically, his third outfit is the Yellow Rabbit, but underneath he wears a yellow jumpsuit/mechanic suit. It’s probably just to blend in better with the mascot suit, but I’d like to think that Afton just casually chooses to wear yellow and purple as much as he can since they’re his colors.

In the second movie, we only really see him in one new outfit. He wears some blue jeans and what I think is a corduroy purple button up. Once again this lines up with my theory that Afton likes to primarily wear his two colors. Later in the sequence, his glasses and a brown apron get added to the outfit. I originally assumed the glasses were fake based off of the first movie, but now I theorize that he wears glasses when reading/looking at schematics, possibly being nearsighted. Again, that’s just a theory based off of nothing.

Part of the reason I was away for a while is I’ve been really getting into art lately! I thought I’d share some recent pieces I worked on, and I’ll make sure to share new ones here in the future. Most of it is lowkey shameless fnaf yumeshipping with my oc Berry.

[wakesstudy]

I usually post about him on my Twitter but I have a kitten named Alan Wake btw.

[wakesstudy]

I haven’t posted him here since this…guys he got really big and a bit stupid 😔

[wakesstudy]

Oh hey…it’s been a while, hasn’t it?

On this day, 15 years ago, we were first introduced to the man who would become our Champion of Light! And today, the citizens of the Cauldron Lake Server come together once again to celebrate #AlanWake 's anniversary with "TALES OF CAULDRON LAKE 2" !

When I first created the Cauldron Lake server, its main goal was to be a place for friends to chat and celebrate their love for the incredible games Remedy gave us. It's been over a year now since that day, and the server is still what I've always wanted it to be: A place from friends to friends,

where we could chat and play and, in general, just have fun. But you know what? It's more than that. To me, the server is home. i've met so many wonderful people there, and made so many friends for life.

When we released our first zine last year celebrating Alan Wake 2's first anniversary, I was overjoyed. I would've never expected for everyone to be on board with releasing a second one so soon! But here we are! I am thankful to all of you, my friends, for being part of this and for making this whole experience better. I love you all!

Shoutout to the amazingly talented people who participated in this zine!

I absolutely loved being a part of this, thank you for including me 🫶♥️
