First Artfight attack of 2026 (also kind of a revenge i didnt get to last year)

A.M.: THE WAY YOU TORMENT YOUR SUBJECTS IS QUITE... INTERESTING.....

Caine: Check out these cool bees I drew!

A.M.: ... WHAT KIND OF ADVANCED INTELLIGENT SYSTEM ARE YOU????

I know there are numerous comparisons between The Amazing Digital Circus and the I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream novel. And of course, there are many fan works where the evil supercomputer AM meets Caine and interacts with him somehow. I wanted to try my hand at making one of my own!

There are many versions of what AM would look like besides his appearance as an obelisk of "black substrata rock" as he describes it in the original book. An artist with the username Egg-On-A-Legg designed AM as an android-like abomination with a bird-like head that has one eye and a body made of an amalgamation of wires, circuits, and metal plating. I just love the design of that version of AM and I thought it would be cool to draw it for this scenario instead of AM's typical black rock obelisk appearance.

As for the background, I tried to draw AM's complex but I had some difficulty trying to find some references for the location. I drew each of the circuit boards in a grid-like pattern and added the details one by one. I used some metallic Sharpie markers for the accents on each of the circuits which took an hour to complete.

In memory of Catherine 'O Hara (March 4, 1954 - January 30, 2026)

I wanted to make a memorial thing since I've known about Catherine 'O Hara's work as the voice actress of both Sally and Shock (The Nightmare Before Christmas). I know she's been in the Home Alone movies, both of the Beetlejuice movies, The Wild Robot, Frankenweenie, and many others. I know it's quite late, but hey... better late than never eh?

So here we have Sally and Shock comforting each other in the Spiral Hill Cemetery while Zero looks on in concern.

I had to look up how to write things in a "Tim Burton-esque" font to add some flavor to the scene, so to speak. I outlined Zero in a silver Sharpie marker to accentuate his ghostly appearance. I've also outlined the moon behind Spiral Hill and colored it with a neon yellow highlighter to make it look like it's glowing

This was from an interesting conversation between the various users on the UNOFFICIAL Pendog Creative Library Discord server.

Some of the users were wondering: what would happen if Bendy (Bendy & The Ink Machine) met Maisy The Mutt (Pendog Creative Library)?

According to Mirphy Mutt (WithKinderEyes): "Maisy would treat Bendy the same way she treats her best friend Hobble, like chasing him knives or burying him in an empty grave or something".

So here we have Bendy meeting up with Maisy at the haunted house she calls her home. I wasn't sure whether I should keep everything monochromatic like the old-timey cartoons or color everything in. I thought everything would look better colored in. I wanted to put some silly / jokey names on the tombstones like: "Will B. Back" or "Shirley U. Jest", but I didn't feel like it at the time.

The design for the Maisy's Haunted House was from a few different pictures I found on the Pendog Creative Library website. The tombstones were colored in with a handful of graphite sketching pencils I had on hand. I gave the environment a little more depth by adding some scoring marks to the grass and the tombstones while using a fine-pointed black marker.
