TLO sketch to get me out of art block. Been a while since I’ve drawn them.

Everyone, unanimously, in the batim fandom seeing Norman Polk's (unofficial) design in Dreams Come To Life-

[sammylovesbendy]

why the hell did i make him like that

[glossytoothpick]

So I moved recently and thought that for the fun of it I’d take a picture of every Bendy thing I own

I have more Bendy stuff, they’re all just from independent sellers and not the official Bendy team. I’ve been a Bendy fan since 2017 and got my first piece of merch on Christmas (it was the Bendy umbrella shirt fun fact). Most of these I collected when I was younger but some of it is more recent. My biggest flex is having the original release of the Bendy plushies (this they have squeakers in them.)

[reel-fear]

Hey if anyone wants the pdf for that Dreams Come To Life Graphic Novel, you can hit me up. Once again reminding you guys not to buy it. If you literally buy anything that has a Bendy label slapped onto it, it just tells the devs they don't need to actually make a quality product. Attitudes of how mean it is to boycott a shitty book or how bendy fans should be loyal to the devs is exactly how so many famous people/companies get away with AWFUL practices the same way the bendy devs have.

I also feel bad for anyone who wastes/wasted their money on it. That thing is not worth your shelf space. I've read through the entire thing and it's garbage, art wise, writing wise and adaptation wise. Me and my partner are writing a whole damn google doc explaining why but yeah. I hope a lot of you can get your money back and discourage others from buying it too. It's the only way we can prevent the devs from pushing out such a rushed and awful product again.

Anyways below the read more there's a screenshot of a fucking coloring mistake on the damn thing [it might get fixed for the Final Final release but this being shown to be there just like 2 weeks before release should show how damn rushed and underpaid the artist was. Their portfolio shows they can do so much better but they were clearly not given ANY time to make this any good.]

Reminder! The artist and writer don't get ANY of the sales money, that goes directly to the bosses who kept cracking the whip at them to draw faster and faster.

I think it's really convenient that Mike is making sure everyone knows that Norman is white, but when the question of LGBTQ or minority characters comes up, suddenly it's a much more complex question. (I get he was asked, but you're telling me there's no possible way to leave it ambiguous?)

You leave everyone else's appearances and physical descriptors ambiguous, but this twitter interaction leads me to believe you have SOME idea of what you want your characters to look like so...which is it?

Funny thing about erasing the canonicity of the books is that you also erase any canonical descriptors for the other characters. Wally being incredibly old? Gone. Allison being platinum blonde and a Ginger Rogers look-alike? Gone. Sammy looking like a preying mantis? Gone as well. This gives you the perfect opportunity to get in there and start dropping more details about the characters that you claim to be passionate about. Answer that age old question- is Sammy Lawrence brunette or blonde?

What REALLY really puts a lit match in my gas tank, though, is something Mike pointed out himself. He says that the photo of Norman is in Joey's apartment, which is true.

But you know what else can be found in Joey Drew's apartment? Something that was retconned later on haphazardly?

"Local Artist Pushed Himself too Hard, Found Dead At Desk."

"Years later we find out he wasn't dead at his desk!"

"It was always in the apartment" is not the gotcha you think it is.

Today is a GREAT day to be a batim fan!

Happy Halloween

[sirtallyopera]

Okay for context because this crack ship is genuinely insane:

Hunger games simulator pulled this shit

And then I got an awful idea … which resulted… in this

Click for bonus fuckery aka my best friend’s awful commentary

Anyways HUGEEEEE PSA: HE IS NOT FUCKING PREGNANT

MY BESTIE THOUGHT HE WAS FUCKING PREGNANT FOR SOME REASON

“A BUN IN THE OVEN” A FUCKING BUN IN THE OVEN???

Horrendous, absolutely fucking horrendous

Anyways we agreed the ship name is

“PYRAM-INK” hope you enjoyed this awful awful awful meth ship

@squabblethewabble anyways tagging you because I’m talking shit about you 💕

This song fits them both *fucking kills myself*

[the-good-ol-art-corner]

I know a couple of people have already redrawn that one panel, but fuck it we ball-

This is roughly how I thought Norman would look in canon (and Buddy <3) but uh, yeah that dream is squashed ig fml

Reblogs > Likes, Thank You!

[hascious]

Random question but do you have any headcannons for buddy or dot from dreams come to life?

i haven't read the book in about a year so i dont have many, but i'd like to think that if there was a good ending, Buddy, Dot, Richie (?), and Jacob would all be friends and Buddy would get a dog and name it Boris and they would be the 1940s Scooby Doo solving mysteries about anything but the Ink Machine and they would all live a long happy life :)

here's a doodle of the two because i've never drawn them before and this gives me a good excuse

[salpho]

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.

Little dump of some of my old dusty drawings and a lil doodle I made of my boys.

[dangoarts]

can we talk about these storyboards at the end of batim for a moment
