Through 2023, I've been sketching and conceptualizing my designs for the human cast of BATDR. Giving shape to some ideas, testing new ones, you know the deal.

And December of last year, I wanted to make some slightly more elaborate drawings ("elaborate" in comparison to the previous sketches in this case), with some of these designs. To sort of solidify these ideas better.

The result turned out quite nice, despite a few things. (why are noses so complicated from a head-on perspective) Last month I decided to bring these drawings + 3 small doodles to color. To also solidify how they look in color.

Obviously, this isn't the entire DR cast. There are only 8 designs here, it's a little less than half of the entire cast, I still have to show a lot lol. These above are what I chose to draw in recent times. For the rest of the characters, it's a matter of 1. fleshing out the designs (e.g. Angus Newman, Kitty Thompson) or 2. I still have to think of a design for them (e.g. Muncie Dunn, Telly Wester). When I have a better vision for them, I'll do something similar to what I did here. Make some more elaborate drawings for them, color them digitally and post them here eventually.

I don't know if the text I put is too big or too small, so here are the characters in each image, left to right: -Jane Todd, Kay Lee. -Grace Conway -Bill Danton, Lance Derby -Sally Newt, Hudson Doyle and Carl (one could argue that Carl might not be a real in-universe person, but I still wanted to do a design for him) There are still some details that have yet to be really set in stone, but even so, what we have above is practically the main vision for these designs solidified, so to speak,which I'm happy with.

At first I was only going to color the first three images, but I liked the other 3 mini drawings that I made at the time so I decided to put them here too. Eventually I'll make some better drawings with them, so the next time I show other BATDR designs, I'll post them together. Maybe in the future, when all the designs are finalized, I will make a digital drawing with all the designs, in one place. I tried to do something similar in the past with my BATIM designs, so it would be interesting to do something like this again with the Dark Revival cast.

OFFICIAL BATIM SEXYMAN: SAMMY LAWRENCE

[inkabelledesigns]

Ever since building this shelf with my grandpa and brother in law over the summer, I've had so much fun dressing it up in different ways. Right now it's very Bendy themed, so I have all my completed customs from Bendy and the Ink Machine and Bendy and the Dark Revival, along with my figures that I've never had a good spot for before. XD There's even a few fun gags in there, like the rubber duck to represent our inky duckies from the BATDR Cast Lovestreams, or the box of miniature coca colas up near Joey (Dave Rivas really likes Mexican Coca Cola). I even put up one of my mannequins to represent Carl! (The funny thing is both of my mannequins have names, that one is usually called Hermes.) And of course, I love the functionality of it being an actual bookshelf, so we have all the Bendy books there in the order they came out. Now I can pick them up to read far more easily. I would have more plushies here, but they all live in other parts of the room. Big ones go on the bed (plus Sammy), and little ones go in the beanbag chair. The two shoulder riders are just so small and actually stand upright, so I felt they worked best here.

I've never really had all my lil guys out like this before, it's nice. And of course, for the one non-Bendy portion, I had some fun. So earlier this year, I got the Rainbow High set that was Skyler's studio tools for fashion design for half off. I specifically wanted it so that my mini me doll would have a desk and art supplies, and it did not disappoint! As you can see, we're making good use of it, along with a couple of other doll accessories, like Neon Frights Draculaura's laptop, a Barbie teacup I found thrifting, my Sammy Lawrence Lego as a "doll for dolls", and even a Disney ILY 4Ever cupcake, because of course we need that. XD My cousin very graciously crocheted me this Mario mushroom, and I've been using it as both decor and a doll footstool, since it's a toadstool. X'''D I tend not to use a lot of my doll furniture, but now that I have a spot for it? I think I want to make an effort to play with it more. Like, I need to find where I put my kitchen set now. Clearly we need to have a doll dinner party. XD
