I made these sketches the week SOTM launched, and I didn't think about posting them at the time. I recently looked at them again and thought "hmm, why not". In my own way, I decided to add a *little* color to make it a little more nice,and I edited the image *just* a little,and boom, here it is. My Riley Wells design. There's not much to say about the process of creating her design. I only used the portrait you find in the game as a reference, and I made a design of her at the time she joined JDS and then Gent. There's not much to say,really.

These were sketches made after I made an initial sketch of her to put the idea of her design on paper, and were made to help solidify and test out her design better. I haven't drawn her since.

So, yeah. They aren't much, and I don't have much to say about them. But I wanted to eventually show my design that I made of her. Plus, those sketches turned out quite nice,so there's that.

Other than a small idea that I don't know when I'll do, I don't have anything in mind that could result in drawing Riley again in the future. But hey, in case one day I end up wanting to draw her again, at least I have a design prepared for the occasion.

As a bonus, here is the first sketch I made of her. No editing or colors.

#bendy and the ink machine #batim #bendy: secrets of the machine #bendy sotm #bsotm #riley wells #crookedsmileart #I like the theories that she is either A- the protagonist of The Silent City #(or at least; she has a certain type of relevance/connection with that game)#or B- the protagonist of Bendy 3 #both probabilities have chances imo #and it's more likely to me that the lore related to her is being teased for something future;#than to be lore that applies to SOTM specifically #I mean; I've been wondering; is this game really canon?#like; obvious; things teased there will be relevant in the future #and the lore and characters introduced in this game are canon #but what about things like; the drawing board? the dark void with the arc? the rooms with the teasers?#the “game” part; basically. Is this all canon?#Is the lore we learn about Riley SOTM lore? Or is it a teaser for lore from a future project? (as I said before)#you could very well argue that; Yes; SOTM is canon for the games timeline #and find a place where this game fits in with the other entries in the series #but;idk;considering what this game is at the end of the day (a short interactive experience that teases future projects)#and its more “meta” nature so to speak? with its teasers; secrets and easter eggs #makes me think the “main” part of this game isn't actually canon #Again; I do think that the lore and characters introduced in SOTM are canon and will be important later down the line #but things like the game's locations; the “Player”; the secrets; easter eggs and such? I don't think these things in the game are canon #but like I said; it is also possible to argue that this game is indeed canon #And if you want to talk about why you think that is (assuming anyone is reading this); I'm all ears #It would be intriguing to know more;you know
