Sketch and lines by me, colours by @inkyvendingmachine, Sammy’s design by me, Joey’s design by @inkyvendingmachine, Henry’s design by @inkcryptid, and Jack’s design by @whatyouwantedmetosee !

AAAAA LOOK AT BOO’S COLOURS… IM SO HAPPY WITH HOW THIS TURNED OUT!!

I was just thinkin about how the boys never got a proper introduction (since they’re all Bendy characters) and wanted to give them one… while also nodding to, uh, well, some of the, things that have happened!!! Also to be able to introduce them to friends who are not as familiar with Bendy; honestly I’m still just really delighted by the concept of “CoC game where we all play various employees of a 1930s animation studio.”

[transcript under the cut]

Joey Drew

Co-founder and face of Joey Drew Studios, he’s the one who got the whole thing started! Even if he’s not a great artist and didn’t technically design any of the characters he claims as his, he’s remarkably good at making other people believe in his irresponsible dreams with nothing but fast-talking and charm.

Rumours that Joey is “tangled up in the occult,” has “magically bound his employees’ souls together because it makes better cartoons,” or that he once “etched a ritual in his skin that enables a cosmic horror to possess and transform his mortal body at cost to his mind” are, of course, greatly exaggerated.

Henry Stein

Co-founder of Joey Drew Studios and Joey’s best friend from college, Henry is a skilled animator and the one who actually designed the studio’s most popular characters. He’s a quiet family man whose wife and kids are the most important thing in his life, but no matter how well-meaning Henry might be, he has a hard time saying “no” to his over-ambitious best pal.

Hypothetically, he would be willing to study a lot of questionable magic to find wards and spells and blood rituals to protect those he cares about… if he, y’know, happened to have developed a strange golden glow to his blood after too many potions to boost his spiritual power, which is of course completely ridiculous.

Sammy Lawrence

The music director for Joey Drew Studios; he manages sound for the show and works closely with Jack to write all the show’s music. Brilliantly talented but hot-tempered and particular, Sammy doesn’t much care for cartoons, but he loves music and can’t do any job half-way.

He’s definitely not subconsciously repressing that one time an encounter with an eldritch deity left him as a manically devoted cultist of Nyarlathotep, such that it’s developed into an alternate mental state that could surface at any moment. Don’t ask him about “the Prophet.”

Jack Fain

Sammy’s lyricist for years, Jack eagerly accompanied him to Joey Drew Studios so they could continue to make music together. Friendly, optimistic, quick to crack a joke and then laugh at that joke himself, Jack is an unassuming and amiable guy who tends to make friends wherever he goes — even with the likes of Sammy Lawrence.

Jack had no idea there were any occult goings-on at the studio and certainly didn’t get involved. He would have no need to learn how to separate his soul from his body and astral project to a madness-inducing realm; terrible dreams about a friend in dire trouble are just dreams, after all.
