CURRENT OPINIONS AND STANDINGS (as of 21/07/2026)

I am disappointed in DCTL's graphic novel. The quality is abysmal, the wrong artist was hired for the job and it's clear nobody working on it cared enough to put effort into the pages and the artists were never informed of the canon/official details we have about the featured characters (such as Sammy being mentioned to be a "very handsome man" with Lucuious Locks yet being presented here as an old yucky guy with a meringue on his head for hair) and even later on with how the silver screams mischaracterised Susie.

I don't really care as much about the whole Mike Desjardins drama anymore, but I do still feel like Thomas Connor was always coded as a black man, even if unintentionally, and Mike was playing it too safe by going "B-but I'm white !! White people can't voice black characters !!" like. buddy. it's ok. it's not offensive especially considering it's an indie game where you and meatly were most of the voices at the start. It's Okay !! I'm also kinda on the fence because on the other hand, an artist can say whatever they want about their own work. So eh, I'm mixed on the situation there. Like yes you technically can do whatever you want, but this feels like a missed opportunity to have a more compelling character and add some very naturally included diversity.

At this point I doubt this project will reach the devs or scholastic. It was already unlikely at the beginning but since it's been years after the graphic novel was released it would be even Less likely to be seen. So, instead, I'd say the aim of this project is to let fans have fun and interact with the community, as well as get some closure for the cheap books we got. However, if this does reach either, I want the message to be that a beloved series deserves more than the cheap GNs we got. We have so many talented artists willing to make it not only look good but even write for the noncanon books, I'm sure of it !! Just give people a chance, it could even result in a higher value product.

Also the steps in the pinned Need to be redone because I was far too ambitious before. We Need to simplify things and I need someone to aid me in managing all this.

Ta-ta fo now. See ya later. Bye bye !!

Your favourite procrastinator is BACK . and he has one simple question-

Do you want to volunteer to be 2nd in command of DCTL Redrawn, or know someone who might ? Well LOOK NO FURTHER than this google form-

I really need someone to help manage the project because I cannot focus on it properly and feel quite a bit of task paralysis with how much I set myself up for. Would really appreciate if you guys could fill it in or share it !!

Thank you to everyone who's followed this project for their patience. Let's get things rolling !!

I will admit, I've been procrastinating on this project for a WHILE now. I want that to change !! However, I'll also be going to college soon which means things may be a bit harder to organise time for, and using my phone instead of my trusty pc can cause some issues depending on apps and focus issues.

HOWEVER - PART 2

So far, we've been gathering notes for character designs and tried our best summarising every chapter so we could then look through and pick out which ones to keep, shorten, or exclude entirely from our graphic novel. After a very long time of people struggling with finding the time or energy to add to both documents, we're going to host a VOICE CHAT on our Discord server, read through the book together and note down everything we find. We don't know when or how we'll do this just yet, but we WILL make a plan and follow through with it eventually !! As for now, we can always use more members to help us plan and brainstorm for this project !! Anyone is free to join, even if not an artist, to help us out (and have fun in the server - it's a lovely place !!)

Also worth mentioning, the host lives in the UK which unfortunately is implementing censorship laws (stuff like giving your ID to view content deemed "inappropriate" aka nsfw stuff and things deemed a political threat to our government) and have a good chance to worsen with time. If anything DOES happen that prevents me from hosting the project, I'll think about either postponing it until the laws potentially get repealed, or handing over the project to someone in a country that's unaffected. We sincerely hope nothing of the sort happens, but I only say this here just in case something goes wrong.

This can be page numbers, quotes from the book, Sammy's Hot Topic Takeover, things from the games, from Meatly or Mike himself, etc.

@wynandcore's reblog got me thinking about the colouring in the graphic novels. So, I tried to see if they were right. We all know the usual "piss yellow" of the original novels, as well as their gradient shading, as seen on the left. It doesn't compliment the lineart at all, the white on the yellow looks jarring and in general, it looks poorly thought out.

What I did was used a wider range of yellows and browns. I used cel shading and removed the gradients. Already, it compliments the style better !!

Below cut is the lineart for this so you can try colouring yourself, too !!

Sneak peak at the upcoming "Bendy and the Silver Screams" graphic novel

They must be paying Arizmendi one mere cent per day because what Is this quality. The exit doors being copied over and flipped, the shadowy figure too, Andy (the protagonist we see) doesn't even look scared in the last panel.
