Casey’s profiling portrait is so interesting to me because that’s not the real Casey, it’s the fictional version of him.
His character model in the real world is pretty formal; neat slicked back hair, the vest, his shirt properly buttoned, and his tie in place and not having any funky patterns. but his counterpart in the dark place is the exact opposite of this. he’s not well put-together and is far less professional
It’s also a nice little easter egg when he gets possessed (i guess that’s the right word) by scratch and he loses the tie, his outfit resembles scratch’s American Nightmare look!!!
ANYWAYS, so with those changes being noted, the portrait used when you profile Casey resembles the fictional one more than the real one: (the image cuts out a bit so apologies for that)
All the physical characteristics of fictional Casey are displayed here, but why????
Is it to symbolize how much of his life has been influenced by Alan’s writings? Because not only did he have to deal with the Cult of the Word and their weird messages towards him, but Alan’s echos (unknowingly) peering into Casey’s own life and taking inspiration from it. I’m so curious as to if major events in his life, like his divorce, was caused by Alan and his writing. not only that, but the utter resemblance he has to Sam Lake (duh, but in the games he’s the actor for the Alex Casey movies).
it’s just weird to me that it’s Saga who perceives him as that, since she’s unaffected by the dark presences.
i just wanted to share my thoughts on this cause it’s driving me insane. i’m not sure about the broader implications of it, other than how much of real Casey was affected Alan, but i’m hoping more is explained in the DLCs that come out soon!!!

For the 14th anniversary of Alan Wake, I wanted to share my finished Fictional CaseyWake story... which now features a prologue at the beginning to hint at the direction of the overall series!!
This story follows Alan's journey before the events of Bright Falls, including his ups and downs with his relationship with writing, Alice, Barry, and his fictional detective Alex Casey. It focuses on his sudden rise to stardom and the difficulties which led him to write The Sudden Stop.
This piece is very special to me, and I am so, so proud to have been able to finish it. Remedy gave us such a wonderful and relatable world to explore, and working on this project and the sequel has been so much fun. The sequel to this story is already in the works and will be out soon! If you haven't checked out this story, I hope you'll give it a chance! Let me know what you think!

Alan and his Casey getting ready for a night out.
This was my first fully body attempt. I think I did pretty ok all things considered. I think I have ties down and of course adding the peacock tie is a must. I think Casey's hair looks better than my previous attempt. I'm proud that the pants look like he has hands in his pockets.
An attempt at a background was made and I thought it would be fun to use my other picture of Casey as a movie poster.
I tried my best and I learn something new with every lil doodle.

Alex Casey: Lola, please keep an eye on Wake today. He’s going to say the wrong thing to someone & get himself punched.
Lola: Sure, I’d love to see Wake get punched!
Alex Casey: Try again.
Lola: I will stop Wake from getting punched.
Alex Casey: Correct.
