this is the sort of project that I end up procrastinating for a good time and has to Lock-In once the deadline starts to aproach but thanks goodness I was able to finish this in time.

the idea never really went beyond a weird collage. Nothing really connected, a certain chaos to it. It wasn't really cohesive, but I think it still works. And I like the way things were organized (at least, organized in the best way for a project like this).

you could argue that the chaos in this drawing is a good representation of the nature of SOTM and its updates.

Riley is the only part of the drawing done traditionally. Not really confident that I could execute the idea exactly well in digital. It still works well. And doesn't look too out of place with the rest,at least for me.

I'll want to post the background stuff separately and without the filters/lights. So people can see it better and so that the details I added to them don't go to waste. (This goes for Ink Demon and especially Dumdy).

today was… weird. I feel weird, ngl. But despits what my head says, I'm glad I did this drawing. I'm glad I finished it and posted it. And I hope you like it too.

Happy 414. Have a good night folks.

(good luck to whoever finds the easter eggs (hard mode difficulty) in this piece too)

Today on "Putting your blorbos/OCs in situations" XD

I'm still hyperfixating on both Hotel T and Bendy, and particularly Secrets of the Machine playthroughs. So here's a little something I've been imagining while watching those: Lucy and Simon have a run-in (haha) with Bloodwheel/"Gaskette"/Riley Wells while exploring inside Bendy's game.

For those that don't know: Bloodwheel is the horror version of Gaskette and possibly the inky reincarnation of Riley Wells, an artist who lost her parents in a car accident and who's life is explored in the game. She's the murderous monster car you encounter after going through Riley's memories...and since the way to the drawing room is blocked off and the door disappears when you activate her, there's normally no escape from her vrooming, break-squealing pursuit.

Don't worry: They'll be fine. I have 2 possible outcomes here. 1. Lucy saves both of them by turning into a bat, grabbing Simon and heading up before Bloodwheel can get to them, or 2. Jack Nephalem/Hijack steps in somehow to save their butts.

I did take a bit of liberty in letting the grill/mouth on Bloodwheel/"Gaskette" light up, but I was trying to get things across without showing Gaskette.

Secrets of the Machine (Bendysplaining)

(Full disclosure: both of the computers I have access to WILL NOT TRIGGER THE LIGHTNING CUTSCENE therefore making B:SOTM unplayable for me! Watched a couple walkthroughs to get the gist of things. I found ONE easter egg on my own lol.)

Secrets of the Machine is so out of place to me, seeming almost unpolished. I'll give it a fair shake and go over the pros and cons, but if you want a short Bendy game to play, PLEASE play Boris and the Dark Survival, not this.

Pros:

This very important bird that makes me well up inside with a positive emotion.

Ragtime Guffie. Cute character that I feel has a charm similar to the original Bendy cast. I wouldn't have been surprised to see this guy walking around in BATIM back in the day.

This screenshot I can use for memes:

This ONE scene/"jumpscare" was executed well:

The Goofy ahh can dispenser laugh

My personal favorite, this random ass arrow outside that you can follow into the darkness for about a minute until you're spat back out by the entrance arch (useless):

And last but not least, the inclusion of Gaskette and an insanely niche nod to Nightmare Run?

FIrst off, Gaskette looks killer (pun intended):

And secondly, there are at least a couple hands around the map that open and close when you click them in a very similar fashion to a hand that could be found on the menu of Nightmare Run. I was actually excited about this! (Why they didn't they just go full ham with the Nightmare Run characters for this game?)

Cons:

The first glaring issue I have is *checks watch* the FOUR Bendy advertisements thrown into the game??? What???

I'm not mad about hyping people up, but it is............LAZY?? What was the point of this? These ALL could've been Tweets!!

In fact, Lone Wolf's Announcement nearly WAS a Tweet!!

I would feel differently if the presentation was better, but you literally throw a can at some flippable....plates(?) around a screen at random and get still images. I understand that this game is meant to be small like BATDS, but BATDS was more polished, more fun, and didn't throw four adverts in as gameplay/easter eggs.

This is also gives me a Bad Feeling because if you're willing to make your smaller content into a glorified advertisement, what are you going to do with your mainline games? How are you going to treat your content? Are you going to let things cook or serve it to us raw?

ALSO...

Riley.

Riley's story itself is fine. Not amazing, not awful. Riley's parents die in a car accident when she's six. She starts drawing disturbing content, and the school counselor catches wind of this and brings it up to her guardian. Riley goes to work for JDS at the same age as Buddy (17), and is subsequently fired for drawing more disturbing material pertaining to the accident.

While it sounds cliché, the way it was presented in-game was fine. There are obviously things that could be improved, but the point here isn't the story itself.

Let me ask the audience of this post a question.

Where the hell is Lacie Benton?

Or, more broadly, why aren't M+M fleshing out characters that have been with us since *checks watch* 2017?

I'm struggling not to start doing the Macarena, because adding new characters and slowly abandoning the old ones works in direct contrast with "caring about the lore", AKA what this franchise was built on, and it's something M+M like to bring up. When you remove that backbone, everything else falls apart. When you neglect the old characters, you're neglecting the heart of the franchise.

Riley having her story isolated to one game seems to be a blessing in disguise, I'll admit. However, this is ALL just BATIM: Red Flags. Disappointed, but not surprised. Scared for the future of this franchise, but trying to stay optimistic.

[zoeyandguys]

Ya'll think Tom is tried of people using the machine he made for these types of things.

[grandthefoxdelusion]

So one of my mutuals jokingly said how I was the irl version of Riley Wells after showing them this... Well...

Can't really deny it

[dykef1sh-splatoon]

THEY TRANSED HER FUCKING GENDER?????

[rosetyler42]

I think the best clickbaity one I got is:

"Me and my brother visited the Cycle and were nearly KILLED by a GHOST CAR!!! (NOT CLICKBAIT)"

@black-ak9 @heartsong1994 since I tripped you both up with this one. XD

Describe your whumpee's current plight as a clickbait YouTube title

Hello, this is my first post, I hope you like it :), This drawing is from an AU I did of Bendy in Nightmare Run

[vianthemindelectric]

Happy anniversary to one of my favorite niche games of all time, Bendy in Nightmare Run!

Honestly surprised it’s five years old at this point- and although it has been forgotten, I’m still very attached to these guys! And tbh it’s also a goal of mine to become “the BINR artist”

Happy anniversary once more to these rugged lads!

QUOTE COMPILATION⁉️

Gwen: When will Ted himself...finally show up to the talk?

Chester: The final boss.

Gaskette: You guys know TEDtalks stands for technology, entertainment, and design talks, right?

Gwen: I will not let Ted hide behind these lies any longer!

Dewey: You sound like the start of a Batman villain.

Gwen: I’ve become a bread crumb dealer to four crows at the lake. They pay me with a bit of everything. Like shiny things, fabric, or pens. But recently they paid me with a 20 dollar bill they found somewhere. So I decided to buy them some more expensive bread. They loved it. So they understand what to do. Give me money. I’ve probably racked up about 200 dollars at this point. Is it morally wrong though, I mean. They’re the ones who steal the money from others. Or perhaps they just have a big pile laying somewhere. Should I keep on doing this?

Dewey: Is that a gun?!

Canoodle: It's not what it looks like!

Dewey: It looks like a gun!

Canoodle: Okay, maybe it is what it looks like, but in my defense, it doesn't have anymore bullets, so I technically can't shoot it anymore.

Dewey: ...ANYMORE?!

Chester: You really believe in Krawl ?

Stickle: Luckily, they believe in themself enough for the both of us.

—

Stickle: What is the one thing I told you not to do?

Gwen: Burn the house down.

Stickle: And what did you do?

Gwen: I made dinner.

Stickle:

Gwen:

Stickle:

Gwen: And burnt the house down.

Gwen: I just drank a lego piece.

Gaskette: ...what the hell?! You melted plastic and drank the liquid?

Gwen: Yes.

Gaskette: Why did you even melt a lego in the first place?!

Gwen: Because it looked like chocolate! So I drank it! You know, like a chocolate shake?

—

Canoodle: Your lover doesn't have the mental strength to caramelize onions.

Gwen: Your lover thinks it takes 5-10 minutes to caramelize onions.

Krawl: Who's fucking caramelizing onions? Have you sociopaths forgotten that apples exist?

Gaskette: Do you think caramelizing onions is putting caramel on onions.

—

Stickle: What’s your favorite high school memory?

Dewey: LEAVING. FUCKING LEAVING!

—

Kidnapper: I have your partner.

Stickle: What? I don't have a partner...

Kidnapper: Then who just called me a lowlife bitch and spit in my face?

Stickle: Oh my god, you have Gwen.

Bendy: Secrets of the Machine Thoughts

Putting them under a spoiler cut for readability

So far, there is a lot of intrigue regarding GENT and their role, as well as the potential return of the Nightmare Run characters.

GENT's involvement so far as been more on the sidelines in the games. It's implied they have similar issues with the supernatural, and they are running experiments with the ink the Machine produces, the books also backing this up with the reappearance of Archie Carter. However, with the new character. Riley Wells, introduced, it creates a more interesting layer to this, in that it is implied that she was recruited by GENT shortly following her dismissal from JDS. Now, if she is a villain or a victim is up for debate. It could be that they hired her as a test subject similar to Archie Carter and her metamorphosis was just far more severe as a result of the traumatic experience in her childhood, or perhaps she provided the specs that ended up producing a real-life version of "Bloodwheel", the more monster-y version of Gaskette that even gets a whole song in Riley's flashback.

Riley's story is also interesting in that it provides a canon explanation for why the Nightmare Run toons are more monstrous, though it really only does so for Gaskette. She's never shown drawing any of the other bosses, just him. Which makes me wonder if maybe she was part of the character design for only him, and the others are all going to get their own stories later on in the game. I really do hope they go this route, mostly because it would be a nice callback to the no longer available Nightmare Run, and you could have some real fun with the bosses 'backstories', depending on how involved you want to be.

Can think of a few things immediately off the bat: Chester being another example of a childhood fear turned into a debilitating trauma, except involving someone who has thalassophobia strong enough to rival H.P. Lovecraft. Kind of paves the way for a lot of spooky imagery involving the ocean, ocean life, and ink.

Dewey at first seemed a little comical to think about in this context, after all, a fear of librarians seems extreme, though thinking more on it my thought is that he's the product of a different type of emotional stuckage. Instead of a fearful person, perhaps Dewey was created by a very angry person, someone who had a lot of trouble controlling their temper and would frequently blow up at seemingly minor issues. After all, Dewey's main character trait seems to be his temper, as we remember from his character card that he has a disproportionate reaction to Bendy knocking over some books. Granted, between the fact that the exact quantity of books is never mentioned, and a cartoon being a cartoon, it makes me wonder if Bendy might not have knocked over a few books, but more likely a few stacks or even whole shelves worth. I mean, what's funnier, a few books coming down or the library getting a spontaneous remodeling job thanks to a careless patron?

...It's probably not so fun for the librarian, but you get my point. So, potentially, we have someone who has a temper problem creating this character as a way to offset their issues. It might just be less helpful and creating a bit of a feedback loop, where they're constantly ruminating over their problems rather than addressing and moving on from them.

Canoodle was another one that eluded me a bit, though there are two potential driving forces that could have fueled his creation. On one front, junkyards aren't exactly friendly places sometimes, and it would be easy for some sort of accident to happen that could produce some sort of negative association, though there is also the fact that a sentient can being in a junkyard creates this almost weird mental image. You'd think that'd be a dangerous place for him, and this is somewhat proven true if you beat him in Nightmare Run, as he's promptly crushed and disposed of. So, perhaps a preoccupation with death, or a person who is constantly cheating bad or dangerous circumstances? It's something, and it could definitely be interesting played out if that's the direction they're planning on going with this.

There are also plenty of other fun moments and little easter eggs for fans, so either way, we do get something fun. I would honestly be over the moon if they did something for all of the Nightmare Run toons though. Gaskette is a good nod, and Riley's backstory intrigues me given the circumstances, and especially the apparent involvement with GENT. Kinda makes me wonder if they're, in a sense, keeping tabs on people who were associated with JDS, people who maybe would have some stronger ties to the art being produced there and potentially have a bigger reaction when the ink is used on them.

It's something to think about, for sure. If anything, I'll enjoy using these puzzle pieces in my own work.

"Above everything else,stay away from the Ink Demon. He likes to smile,and he kills anything that moves."

-----

I said before that I wanted to post the stuff that I did for the SOTM 1 year anniversary drawing that I posted a while ago,so here it is! The first one,that is. The Ink Demon himself. Since I was going to put some filters on him and push him into the background, I thought it would be good to post the original drawing separately and without filters (there is, I admit, a filter over him in this one, but it's pretty unnoticeable) so people could see him better. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, and I wanted to show him off.

The thing with the BATDR Ink Demon is that I think he has a very cool design,its just that i'm not used to drawing characters that are more "monstrous" (if that's the word) in design so drawing him can sometimes be a little tricky for me. At least with his body I can find my way and draw something that I'm kind of happy with, but the head was what I always had trouble with. Both the shape of the horns and the shape of the head were always difficult for me to get right. Happy to say this time,I got it. Probably my best attempt at drawing the DR Demon in a good while. Think I'll use this drawing as a reference for future drawings featuring the guy.

Coloring and detailing was also a fun process. I like to try to replicate a lot of the details of the in-game model in drawings like this. Maybe a little unnecessary when only half of the drawing appears in the final result and under filters, but it's not something I regret doing (at least in this case. Just wait until I show you the Bendy dummy)

Something that I realised a while ago is that I never really posted a drawing in here that featured the DR Demon as the center of the piece. Yeah,there is the BATDR 1 Year anniversary drawing from 2023 and again,the recent SOTM one,but I'm talking about him being The center of the drawing,not sharing the spotlight or just being part of a bigger project,and appearing from the front and in his entirety, not from behind or just part of him,you know. Which is quite surprising to me,because I really like his Dark Revival design,so you'll think at this point I would have already made a drawing dedicated to him. I'll like to change that eventually.

I have an ideia for something that I wanna do with him. It's more of a test than an actual full-on drawing,but I think it will be interesting to do nonetheless. So that will make for at least 2 drawings with the Ink Demon (the other being with the BATIM design) that are,hopefully,upcoming.

When I have time - or when I feel like it - I'll post the other digital drawings that I did for that piece. Which is basically the more SOTM centric ones,so Gaskette,Fred,Dumdy and Guffie. Only reason I posted Inky separated is because I wanted to give the spotlight for him first :P.

Have a good one folks.

(And happy anniversary BATIM Chapter 4! I wish I had something that would be more appropriate for the occasion :,))

If anyone knows where and when the hell this pin was sold I'd like to know the history! My GUESS is that it was sold at Hot Topic in 2018 after Nightmare Run came out, but I haven't found any info or even the set it was a part of.

I snagged it off Mercari because it wasn't too expensive and I'd never seen it before in my life. Turns out he's double layered (meaning Gaskette sticks out from the background) and the pin is absolutely beautiful and has a nice weight to it.

(I like Gaskette the most of the four NR bosses so I guess fate was on my side!)
