What's the best Ink Demon design?

[@RookelCookel]

BATIM Bendy feels more “Demon Bendy” like, he’s suppose to be BENDY BATDR feels a lot more “Ink Demon” like, he IS the Ink Demon

[@zacharyrosenfeld1493]

I love both designs tbh. Batim Ink demon looks way more like a depressed and vengeful failed experiment. In dark Revival, the cycle has been held in place for so long that the ink demon has evolved. Instead of evolving into a more cartoony form, he continues his descent and becomes more of a demon.

[@meepandmeepyfamilyvideos2850]

I just realized that ink bendy just kills you with one touch but then when he's now the ink demon he kills you in a jumpscare so I guess basically he was getting more slower in killing (

[@KeyboardTarantula]

@@meepandmeepyfamilyvideos2850 I think that's because the Ink Demon wants to scare you as much as kill you due to how the Mythos has built it as a cruel force of nature. the original just killed you as fast as possible for the sake of killing you.

​@@meepandmeepyfamilyvideos2850 or the game just evolved in quality

[@Turles811]

I think its because willson SEPARATED bendy see the batim design for ink bendy is BENDY that is 100% bendy but he's got all his good and bad (mostly good because unironically batim bendy isn't actually evil he's genuinely frightened by most things that live) so when Wilson brought cartoon bendy into the picture cartoon bendy is the good the ink demon version is the evil instead of it being a PERFECT balance witch I can see in the future game that if Audrey gets hurt by the ink demon that good bendy would SPLIT and become ink bendy yet again to fight the ink demon so they can settle the score

[@roseynoseyy]

i adore ink demon as whole in either game,, in batim he’s unassuming yet unsettling, a representation of joeys failure and greed, a corrupted cartoon; batdr represents him as a literal looming shadow, portrays his now solidified identity as a monster and rids him of his previous cartoonyness and many of his ties to who and what he was meant to be originally - either way he brings literal darkness and death,, despair. the whole shebang both designs work for what either game were trying to achieve and they both are awesome to me 😞😞 hes such a well crafted character

[@Lemonsweetcake_414]

This is due to the fact that the Ink Demon evolved over time, in the game he walked with a limp, and in Boris and the Dark Survival he walks normally :3 (random or obvious information?)

[@BillyBob-lx9wq]

The og Ink Bendys power is unmatched, not even Wilson could defeat him, and i love that. If you had no idea what bendy was and saw him you'd still get a sense of power as all the walls floor and ceilings get covered in ink, its height, and that twitching smile. (Yes I'm glazing and i hope they use this version for the movie)

[@lunastifaliamusic]

They will. The first game was a Hell of a lot more cinematic, with the lack of actual gameplay mechanics and being more immersed with the darkness of the studio. Dark Revival is a lot more gameplay-focused. And each Bendy is iconic to their own game, even the team knows that.

[@inkyplays1858]

Wilson could kill either Ink Bendy or Ink Demom that is why he sealed him into Cartoon Bendy

[@dread_trap]

I think, both of the bendies are canon for the games they are featured in, so if the movie is about batim and batdr(which is most likely the case) there’s no reason to not use the og ink demon design

[@zallyboii]

What I would say about this matter: Of course, as you said, both of these designs represent different things. Ink Bendy is a limping, unfinished looking mess whereas the Ink Demon is a threatening beast of chaos. But there is one aspect of him we should mention; Bendy himself. He is nothing like the Ink Demon, and just not quite like Ink Bendy. But it also gives another theory way- That Ink Bendy is a forced amalgamation of the others. Think about it, Ink Bendy shares the traits of both of them: He has Bendy's smile His horns His soft texture As for the Ink Demon: He has his ink-covered appearance His four-fingered hand But Ink Bendy also has some mixed traits, having his counterpart's natures. Bendy is obviously helpful and kind, Ink Demon tries to kill Audrey whenever he has the chance (Excluding the end of BATDR where he makes a deal but he only does it because there's something in it for him) But Ink Bendy shares these two personalities. Whilst he is seen as violent at face value, he does many thing in BATIM that make you question if he's all atavistic. In three scenes; The vent scene, the projectionist fight and the walk in the hallway before the boss fight. Here are scenes where he definitely is aware of Henry, yet doesn't try to kill him. He either doesn't care about him in these moments, or is toying with him, like how Bendy likes to be a prankster (Although Ink Bendy is likely doing it out of cruelty, but it still has the same principle). Also, Ink Bendy's only noises are grunts and moans, Ink Demon is able to fully communicate and Bendy can only make cartoon noises, which I wouldn't count as communication, making Ink Bendy a perfect in-between. It's even in their names: Ink Bendy is a mix of both "Bendy" and "Ink Demon." All of these things cannot be a coincidence. It only points to one thing: That Ink Bendy exists as a mix between the two, which is why he is unfinished- His body cannot accommodate both versions of himself simultaneously, which is why he is what he is. Wilson's experiments didn't make Bendy a new and different demon- He only split it apart, into Bendy and The Ink Demon. Is this whole theory pin-worthy??

[@cupofsatori]

He doesn't do it because there's something in it for him but I agree with the rest since it's what I've been speculating

This is one hell of a great theory. Bravo sir 👏

I think because Ink Bendy was originally going to be Joey because he shambles due to Joey using a wheelchair before that was changed to the reason he is shambling is because according to the books his hand was chopped off (which is why one of his hands doesn't have a glove) and his leg injured then he was sealed away which is why he permanently can't perfectly heal himself sorry for the rant 😅

[@CottonArsonist]

I like both og is more nostalgic, humanoid and cartoon monster-esque TDR is more scary, demonic and beast-like.

[@gracebowling4083]

I love both designs. I love the ink demon for being more threatening, but I also love Ink Bendy because he resembled his cartoon counterpart more, it gave the impression that this happy mascot was now turned corrupted. The ink demon was like seeing how far this corruption could go.

[@TheShySoviet]

Hey, it’s good to see you posting videos again My favorite Bendy is the original because he’s kinda like zombie to me

[@jonhlegends2715]

Very Good video, got a good chuckle outta me with this one mate

[@Levia1han_]

I personally prefer the ink demon from BATIM. You can really see that it's a failed product of the machine, a soulless beast. I specifically take not of the way he shambles from place to place, the way his form shifts, ripples and bends. There's nothing wrong with the BATDR design, but I think the failed experiment kinda visage works better than the classic style monster.

[@cj_bluethunder]

The way I like to think of it when it comes to the change from Ink Bendy to the Ink Demon is that Wilson’s experiments split Ink Bendy into 2, Bendy and the Ink Demon, completely separating the mix of monster and cartoon.

[@RyleeDaHellhound]

2:31 I did hear pretty recently that the Ink Demon in Dark Revival looks the way he does now because he's evolved. Considering Wilson broke the cycle, that means the Ink Demon had no permanent stopping point, just what I'd say are new "obstacles" from Wilson and The Keepers. And I feel thats why Beast Bendy there not only has actual legs. I'm pretty sure he's even just a bit bigger than the last version. It still is for sure in there somewhere that they wanted to give him a way more demoic design (I'm pretty sure that was mentioned by the team somewhere). But it's done in a way where it doesn't just have to be looked at like a redesign for no reason, it could be seen as the Ink Demon growing more and more powerful. And thats what I love about it. Edit: Now I understand why many people get on others to finish the video TwT But I keep the rest up to not hide my dumb error, I will learn from this blow

[@shockarock]

One of my friends made a really good thread that breaks down the designs in a respectful manner A really good point they brought up was that Ink Bendy isn't shaped very differently than other enemies and that they have very similar design fundamentals that make him stand out less when stood next to eachother. The Ink Demon, however, is very imposing and built differently, he has a very strong silhouette and you can tell that he's THE threat. I'd really like to make a video about this whole thing too now ohh my goodness

[@imadesmond]

I like the ink machine bendy rather than the dark revival bendy. I like how his mouth would jitter as he roamed the halls.

[@Ink_Bendy_414]

Personally, I prefer the ink bendy design over the ink demon design. Of course the new look is amazing, and perfectly fits the direction the character is going in (which I also love) I just have a preference to the original I think just do to how wrong he looks. New design is still amazing though no complaints about him.

[@chrisk6637]

Taken the words right out of my mouth

[@Chaotic_Overlord]

Honestly they both worked great for their respective game. Maybe they could have given Dark revival's more of a limp like the original but again, I could not see either game work with the other design. I feel like the dark revival design is my favorite but that's probably just cause it's higher quality like most of the models in dark revival; that might change when they redisign Batim's ink bendy for the movie or the third game.

[@anthonyoliver418]

I love how you analyzed both to understand their role over which one looks or feels better, but both makes sense on why they are the same, the ink demon is like if ink Bendy’s eyes were opened into a better understanding of existence, and both sides reflect the myth versus the mascot and how they might feel upon reaching a higher standard of consciousness, going from an undead husk, to full blown monster brought the gift (or curse) of sentience.

Same here (sure BatDR desogn looks cool but i prefer the BatIM one)

[@StupidYTDude]

headcanon: the canon ink bendy design is the beta batdr ink demon design, which was basically the original batim one but more detailed, with more realistic teeth but still smiling

[@Lemonsweetcake_414]

One thing that some people still don't understand is that the Ink Demon has literally evolved over time. During the game we can see him limping and in Boris and The Dark Survival we already see him walking normally, the change in his appearance is part of the lore. And as for the first design looking more like Bendy, I get it, but Toon Bendy already existed. He was inside the Ink Demon this whole time. Him coming out was a result of the Keepers' experiments. (Sorry if I got anything wrong, I haven't seen enough theories and this is all I know)

[@BendyFilms]

Batim Ink Bendy has always been my favorite design to this day ever since 2018! I also love the other two old ones which are Alpha and Beta Bendy! I do have a soft spot for Dark Revival Ink Bendy, he’s cool, but the Batim design makes him look more like a failed attempt at making a living mascot, I also prefer him not speaking but making growling and ambient sounds, it makes him much creepier and more threatening to avoid, I even prefer when he used to slowly walk around like a lifeless zombie and actually chase you around after spotting you from a distance, in Batdr, it pretty much is a warning that says “the ink demon is coming” and then when time runs out and you haven’t found a hiding spot, he just instantly jumpscares you and kills you just like that, it’s honestly a disappointing mechanic for me because we never see him walk around the studio in Batdr, we only see him in a handful of cutscenes that are important to the story, it kinda sucks that his mechanics don’t work the same like in Batim, I hope they bring the Batim mechanics for him back in bendy 3, and for the design, his Batdr design like I said is cool, but it looks way too much like a literal demon and not resembling bendy at all besides his torn glove and bow tie, and I also don’t like the hooves in my opinion, I prefer the more human and cartoonier proportions of Ink Bendy (Batim), it’s overall more uncanny and mysterious looking, but overall, every bendy design is goated in their own ways! We all have our favorites which is totally fine! So Batim Ink Bendy is my favorite out of the many😄👍💫

[@ourlucca304]

i apologize for saying this but Bendeez nuts Ngl after hearing your thoughts on the classic bendy made me actually realize that he's not really threatning, he's just, there. There are a whole lot more threating looking characters in the game then him, like alice angle, brute boris, etc. He's just another thing stuck in the cycle, not some super villian, but a mindless creature who wonders around aimlessly. I know you already said these things, but thank you for showing me what classic bendy really is.

[@CloudyGoko]

Each individual form fits the theme and period from each game Ink bendy Fits what BATIM is supposed to be twisted children’s cartoons out too hunt you While the ink demon represents his game, the warden of the cycle made to be immortal and ever changing, discarding the animalistic nature of Ink bendy and embracing the malicious intelligence that is the Ink demon Though I prefer the ink demon it represents that the cycle is destructive not meant to continue so it makes demon bendy into the ink demon to push things along

[@Dax_Tenor23]

Here's my personal headcanon on these designs Ink Bendy looks like that in BATIM because it is a pure mix of the demon and Bendy. In BATDR, the torture he goes through at the hands of the Gent company splits his sides into two. The demon is suppressed, leaving the cartoon side intact. The demon and Bendy each host their own "bodies" in a way, each having their own form. The Ink Demon is simply the demon side of the hybrid that the BATIM ink Bendy was. That's my theory anyway

[@jaczylijaaleniepowiemkto3243]

Personally, I like the original design much more, although I can appreciate the way the new one fits into the lore and isn't trying to replace the old one. I'm just really fond of a monster design that is visibly falling apart, yet still gives you a vibe of relentlessness, that it'll continue pursuing you no matter how badly you break it, a monster that you can't kill because it's already dead - as opposed to a somewhat generic beast. I think a lot of monsters lose their intimidation factor when they start speaking in full sentences. It happened to Springtrap once and now it happened to Bendy.

[@emeraldshade7278]

A point I would like to add to the discussion is that Ink Bendy's design, at least to me, looks more like a corrupted version of Cartoon Bendy. A big part of the original premise for BATIM was the idea of classic black and white animated characters being brought to the real world and corrupted in the process. This is why Ink Machine's Ink Demon has a human shape and limps around, to make Bendy look uncanny. In contrast, Dark Revival is more interested in exploring the cycle and what might happen should someone take control of it rather than making old cartoon characters look scary. Dark Revival also wanted to explore the idea of Bendy having two separate personas, Bendy the cartoon character and the Ink Demon. With this different direction in mind, it makes sense for the design team to give the Ink Demon a design that more heavily emphasized his being a demon.

[@ibexis]

I completely love both Ink Demons, my preferences are only based on design And the design I like more is Dark Revival's, though I'm very nostalgic for BATIM Ink Demon

[@DOOMMAN93]

The way i see it is that Ink Bendy is almost like Henry Jekyll (from Jekyll and Hyde) as he is the mix of the Bendy mascot and this demon that was born from it, and that Ink demon from Dark Revival is like Henry Jekyll AS WELL AS Edward Hyde, due to his nature of duality between Demon and mascot forms. Although one thing that would oppose this idea could be that Henry Jekyll isn't necessary evil, as Ink Bendy is presented as but i still stand by my point.

[@DOOMMAN93]

In my opinion though, on which is better, I'm a bigger fan of the newer Ink Demon from Dark Revival. This isn't because I prefer it's design or I prefer the game over the original (because although the sequel is really good, I will always prefer the original) the true reason i prefer it is because you can see the clear evolution of the Demon and how even in this cycle, the creature will still thrive and evolve beyond the form, previously seen.

[@DOOMMAN93]

Also he sounds cool 😎

[@emeraldsdumbchannel]

I think that DR bendy is better, he looks more spooky and demon-like, IM (Ink Machine) Bendy was more of a test in the waters for how this little devil was gonna look like, he's more unstable and goofy looking, as if he's a prototype, while The DR Bendy looks more like Beast bendy, more muscular and Demon looking, it's as if all the years of torment and insanity in the cycle has made him grow, but IM Bendy is the best because it's as if he's a mistake of a creation, an unstable mess, this video had made me look at Bendy different, instead of being just a regular villain, more of a interpretation of 'Never judge a book by it's cover' (This is at a time where I'm getting back into bendy due to the movie approaching soon) (If you guys have any other opinions, that's ok, I respect what you think, in fact I think I might add it onto my own perspective)

[@TheInkDemon-ok5dm]

Idk who to choose but I will give out my opinion on them Ink Bendy: You're right, he's like a failed experiment. That's because its also CANON. He was made to be Bendy but failed after the ink machine created it, and was thrown like it was nothing. 9/10 Ink Demon: Evolved after Wilson held the cycle in place, making the Ink Demon more stronger and powerful than before. But he was turned into Bendy by Wilson and The Keepers. 211 days later, the Ink Demon became free thanks to Audrey. 10/10

[@brandonfazbear4219]

I personally always seen it as how the Ink Demon evolved as time progressed in the games. Take all the early versions of the full game. Back to the earliest versions. Starting originally as a blob with a face in the first release of Chapter 1, then gaining shape and form in Chapter 2 and 3 and in Chapters 4 and 5, it grew taller and a more skeletal/humanoid look. Now with Dark Revival, the cycle was able to continue, the demon was not reset but was able to continue to grow and evolve over time, becoming stronger and smarter. The humanoid appearance becomes taller, thinner, and more monstrous with an open jaw, claws bursting through the glove, hooves, and horns bursting from the ink. It's like these traits grew and developed over time as the only form has been becoming more solidified and stable. Being able to survive for longer it became a lot more sentient and even gained the ability to speak but not perfectly as when speaking, the Ink Demon sounds like it has lungs that are early in development with ink constantly filling it's throat and lungs. What intrigues me is just what the Ink Demon would've became if it continued to survive as the cycle continues for even longer. Even the Beast Form seems to become more developed too with the original game during Chapter 5 having the Beast Bendy be a lot more upper body strength while having almost nothing for the lower body like it wasn't able to be complete whereas in Dark Revival having the Beast Bendy look a lot more complete in design having more muscle strength in the entire body rather than just the upper body. That's how I see the Ink Demon's evolution.

As a die hard Bendy fan from the beta releases of the game, the answer to my favorite is a little tricky. If we’re going by the modern designs of the characters, my favorite would be the Ink Demon from Dark Revival. He’s a perfect blend of both the cuddly cartoon and the demonic demon. However, if you were to ask me what my favorite Bendy design is overall, my answer would actually be the beta design of Ink Bendy. I don’t know what it is exactly, but there’s something about the beta design that feels more broken, yet intimidating.

Okay, so here's the lore behind Mr. Bird Poop With A Smile in a summary: He was locked in a room because he was disturbing the workers, although he was intially harmless, and then Daniel 'Buddy' Lewek a few days later ehard the groaning, moaning and stuff down below, he went to investigate and stumbled upon the door thar kept the demon in, which then he unlocked it, and as soon as he opened it, Bendy immediately sucker punched Buddy and ran. He built up rage and anger (and maybe confusion and sadness) when he was in there.

[@that_objectguy]

To be honest I think I like them both equally, and that’s a lot. I adore the shambling, animalistic and almost piteous BaTIM ink demon, and I also love the animalistic style of the DR ink demon, with the paper mixes in it making it look sort of rotted with bone poking through.

As can be seen from the records, he was locked in a closet and kept until he got out. and I would probably become a monster too if I were locked up, especially if I knew that I was a "mistake" for my creator. The demon from the first part is not really a villain, he was made a villain, he does not believe anyone and kills everything in his path, he cannot emit another emotion, and he cannot even open his teeth. The main villain is Joey Drew, He created the cycle, and in fact no one knows what he did with the unsuccessful attempts to make Audrey.

[@lunastifaliamusic]

Each design work for each game. Ink Machine, he's a failed experiment because he was the very first thing to have come out of the ink machine since Henry turned it on, and as we know from the Alices, people down there being born from the machine can have varying results in either being perfect or disgusting. Ink Bendy was by far the most failed vision, as the others just appear to be disfigured versions of their characters that look like they got shredded up. But they still manage to keep their proportions intact. Or, with the Alices, they utilize a host as their vision to latch onto. But Bendy wasn't either of those, instead being this corpse that limps from hallway to hallway, the only signs of him being "Bendy" being his toothy grin, his horns, and his bowtie. He's human-like in a sense, almost like someone is struggling to escape. We can even hear him breathing very loudly and a loud heartbeat ringing throughout the halls wherever he goes, almost like he's dying, trying to salvage any victim he comes across to keep going. The Ink Demon from Dark Revival, however, is the perfect representation on why everyone fears Bendy. He looks EXACTLY like a demon sent straight from Hell to find whatever it is he needs and become more. He's... a perfect creation on what he's supposed to be. Just like Audrey. Joey loved her because she was the very first true perfect creation from the machine, she looked exactly like a human, she sounded exactly like a human... she was a human created from the machine. A perfect one. And that connection between her and Bendy is even more apparent when you think about it.

yeah they're my fav ship

Fun fact : that’s the same bendy, the ink demon evolved to look like this because it’s more effective in what he wants to do, kill, and like you said, changed to fit how its society, but still, I have a theory, ink bendy was from a fresh loop, it just started, and so he is imperfect, shambling and struggling, and then it got reset, likely a few times, but then, it stopped resetting allowing him to evolve properly, into his correct form, a form perfect for what he is doing.

[@AUArtistry2.0]

I personally like the first game’s Ink Demon design, but I do like how they kept the background history on both characters within their designs and how their stories would only work for their own designs. 💖

[@HQtheOctoling]

one reason I really like about the Ink Demon in Dark Revival is in it's writing. He's insecure, and you can see that when he talks down on audrey at the near end of the game. He tells audrey things that dont really apply to her but perfectly describe himself to almost manipulate her (? I phrased that poorly) I think its a nice detail

[@cupofsatori]

What abandonment issues does to children

[@HQtheOctoling]

@cupofsatori LMAO

[@cupofsatori]

@HQtheOctoling no but seriously, it causes codependency :(

[@HQtheOctoling]

@@cupofsatori I'm sorry

[@user-qv1bu3eq8e]

In terms of design, BATIM Bendy is probably my favorite. However, the Indie Cross adaption is what make him my favorite, makes h his head more Bendy-shaped, and not so…elongated.

[@darkstone_official_2427]

I think that each design has its own merits. Normal Bendy like as he appeared in the trailer/demo of the game and as his actual self in some areas with the misshapen hands and one glove feels more unsettlingly creepy than scary. Granted it's still scary to be chased by him or to hide from him, but his demonic form towards the end of the game is less actually scary and more jus- HOLY SHIT HE'S FAST!!! As for BATDR there's definitely some scariness to his form because it's much more monstrous than before but I think the fact that you get to play as him takes away from the menace and the fear of it all. Like it'd be much more terrifying if the lumbering mass of amorphous ink was chasing you than if you were chasing something else. I think the remake one that people like SuperHorrorBro showed off is scarier than the actual canon Bendy design in chapter 1 but again, each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses, figuratively and literally.

[@MrBubble169]

I think that ink demon attacks people because he is scared that they will do something to him like Joey did

[@MrBubble169]

Also I think he attacks Audrey because she hurt him

[@doirit]

He's just blinded by revenge, also he's soulless. So there's no reason why he kills people, he simply does, that's how it works

[@MrBubble169]

@ I think that he is soulless physically not soulless mentally

[@MrBubble169]

@ also the time he was created there were no mention of him attacking people

[@ChairThatSpins]

holy chair, two cakes

[@percy_812]

Honestly your description of batim bendy made me like him more! I still prefer batdr bendy but that gave me a new perspective on batim bendy :0 My main issue with batim Bendy is that every time he shows up I just start giggling cus I think he looks goofy

[@nanotech1921]

I like both designs, its the gameplay I have the most differing opinions about for example I wish in BATDR when your hiding, I wish you could actually SEE the ink demon walking around, like how you could in Batim I also kinda wished Batim sorta kept the chapter 3 and dark revival gameplay aspect where dude can appear whenever and you gotta go hide, it keeps you on your toes and works as a horror game (it would adleast work in the chapters beyond 3 imo)

[@KingRyomenSukuna1]

BATIM bendy is my favorite because I love the simplicity of the first game and it’s able to make a threatening yet amazing and unique character

[@Stytchless]

i was really looking forward to a creepier ink demon based off the shirt to appear in batdr

[@W3B-2424]

Perfect option.. Your opinion.. Is. Valid.

[@Doubleballedbeeing]

What happened to kynn’s toomfolery lives 😔

[@mrKizden_ZAM]

8:32 Bendy may look like an invalid, but he's literally not killable. He can build his limbs out of ink, walk through a wall, etc.

[@SaltinemyBeloved]

I’ve always believed and loved the theory that Bendy used to be the bird poop ahh version in the beta and slowly evolved in each cycle until he turned into beast bendy then the Ink Demon.

[@Mrblangblangboy]

I know this is not about BATIM but where is the pillar chase 2 bendy design/inkfell

[@JackFrostSMTReal]

"I'm a force-a-nature" -Bendy, probably

[@mr.lizard666]

i think the ink demon (BATDR) represents whenever bendy stops trying to be bendy and embraces being a more monster.

[@Meh-d6y]

Both are good.
