Here’s a little post on the Sammy-Susie relationship after Audrey regains control of the cycle and "restores" the former employees' memories. Since Sammy led Susie directly to her doom, she probably must hate him from the bottom of her heart (or from the bottom of the tiny tiny little heart she has left)

{A message from Wilson Arch}

Yoooo, guess who is having a birthday today.
Me,obviously. :D
Oh, and Wilson too, I guess. If you wanna be THAT guy.
Remember when this video came out there were people who heard the voice at the end and thought the voice was either Sammy or the Ink Demon? Man, those were the days. However with all due respect, I'm glad neither case was right in the end lol.
On this day 5 years ago, "Unknown - April 14th" was posted on YouTube, which means it's been 5 damn years since we first heard from Wilson...
man, what a damn BABY MAN, am i right folks
It's interesting to think that even though it's been 5 years, we've only known who Wilson really is for 2 years now (or more appropriately, 1 year and 5 months of those 5 years). Of course, now, after BATDR was released, we know who he is and what his place is in the Bendy universe. But between April 1, 2019 and November 1, 2022, all we knew about him was that he…existed. He was someone - someone bad apparently - who sounded old and who would have some relevance in the plot of Dark Revival. And that's it. We had no name, no appearance, nothing. He was someone, but we didn't know who.
It's no wonder he was only referred to as "Unknown" by fans during these 3 and a half years.
In the end, I would say that this drawing is a mix of 2 things.
The first being the result of an idea I've had for a while, which is basically making a drawing in relation to the original video/"unknown" tape, but this time with Wilson, since now we know it was recorded by him. Plus it's been 5 years since the original upload,5 years of Wilson. I think this would be the perfect time to do this.
And second, a strange kind of redux/homage/"final chapter" in this kind of "collection" of drawings I did between 2019 and 2022 all based on the idea of "the unknown weirdo from BATDR saying How Very Interesting Such Knowledge" and so on. All of them having other characters in mind in the role of the Unknown. And now, here I am, redoing this idea again, only with The Man Himself this time. The real Unknown. Now as the Known, so to speak.
Going back to what I said before, you can see this drawing as a kind of farewell to this particular idea that I've kind of repeated over the years, as I've now done it again only with Wilson this time. (Does this mean I'll never draw this concept/line of thought again? I mean, I assume so. But there's no guarantee I can't make something similar again down the line. Who knows what the future holds. We will see what happens in the next 5 years.)
But,yeah. 5 years of Such Knowledge™.
Have a good April Fools' Day.
(Also, there are still a few hours until the day ends where I live, so for me it's still April 1st, so yeah, this still counts)
At some point the panels start looking a little different from the previous ones. This is due to me switching to drawing on an IPad instead of my laptop X)
I've thought about sharing more audio logs that BATIM has given you, you have Sammy here, so I'm going to share a lot of things that I recorded a long time ago, anyway. Until next time
With so-called Phantoms appearing around the city, it is only natural that chaos has befallen many families who have been impacted by these familiar faces arriving.
The transcript of the interview of Robert Aubert has remained private however this copy has been found.
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.
Day 4: Open/Closed! In the form of a audio log this time, whoo!
Rumours spread quick, Wallace Frank
"So get this, Miss Josephine Drew is finally losing her marbles! She hired a new voice for Berry without telling any of us, even Harriet! The nerves of that lady!
And I've been hearing some nasty rumours flying about the studio. Now, I'm not your typical gossip-loving girl, but when a good number of the rumours begin to sound the same, then it's a good time to start acknowledging them.
Something about the new behaviour of some of my close friends, and how Jose is behind those changes? Now isn't that a horrifying thought to have?
We've all heard the saying, "When one door closes, another opens". Well, I better start believing that and look for somewhere new, cause I'm outta here!"
