With each video, I'll be including a speed drawing completed in 30 minutes or less, cut off RIGHT on the dot. If you guys are at all curious about my art process, or have questions about things you'd like to hear me talk about in one of these videos, please leave a comment and let me know!

I love how Angel is dignified and elegant; I prefer the version from _Behind the Curtain_ over the one obsessed with being perfect. ☺️

[@InkHavn_]

hailey i love your AU SO MUCH!!! Especially about our little cute devil!!!! An ink Demon who's slowly returning to back to it's normal state is just PERFECT!!!!! Your artworks Are SPLENDID!!!!!! 🥰😙

[@michaelpizzaman]

I will always love how well you managed to translate characters like the Ink Demon Sammy and The Projectionist into looking like cartoon characters. I've been trying to find a way to draw the Ink Demon more like a cartoon but still keeping his key characteristics, and your design was a BIG inspiration. Keep up tho great work

[@alicesworldbatimsonya3080]

You really draw so beautifully that it's beyond amazing, other than that, I hope you continue to come, you're amazing Hailey ❤

[@ag-13studios51]

I really like listening to these videos even though I'm no longer in the Batim fandom, as it teaches me a lot about animation actually. Thanks for posting these fun little behind-the-scenes talks paired with speed draws!

"Horns are Mickey Mousing all over the place." They are also Astro Boying all over the place. 😁

[@ag-13studios51]

My thoughts exactly; when I was first getting into Batim and the horns reminded me of Astro Boy's 😂

[@Starwberries_and.Lennon]

I LOVE your artstyle and i love welcome home!~

[@xenogamingbrothers77]

Great Job with the Music Video Hailey Lain

[@inkspots87]

I love this series and I LOOOOOVEEE welcome home and behind the curtain

[@Songal18]

I love the Popeye arms on Henry!! Gremlin Bendy is an adorable nickname ^^ Oh man that is a very dark image, yet perfect, image for our "director friend"(truthfully it fits ol' J.Drew). Great video I hope to hear more on this journey for BtC ^^

[@JohnTheJinty]

Thank you for answering my question about Boris

[@jonmg82]

I remember during the live streams when you were going back and forth on angels design with Jess

[@camillemacfarlane5296]

0:49 yes bendy is a little gremlin he's very round, small and cute but he is also very sinister and like's to kinda mess with people and laugh at them with his sneaky grin

[@camillemacfarlane5296]

and his body really is a little bean

[@leerapt1724]

Are you gonna show us some unused content? I did notice that a lot have changed from the 2d animation to the singing and I'm really curious if you'd make that an episode about that

[@legendre007]

I read that Max Fleischer was mad at Walt Disney but that he did not meet Walt face-to-face until Max's son directed _20,000 Leagues Under the Sea_ . 😮 When you mention that the fall of Joey Drew's studio mirrored what happened with the Fleischer studio, do you mean what happened between Max Fleischer and his brother? 😲

[@inkspots87]

When I get the stylus ima start doing digital art too and I LOOOVVEE art and bendy

[@shieldscoolkid3]

Your au for Bendy is something I am so interested in and I love the direction you are going with, and one curious thing I’m wondering about is if you are gonna pull any ideas for inspiration from Bendy and the Dark Revival. Im gonna guess no but you can correct me on that lol

[@olivernstarz]

this is so cool !! also, is there anywhere else i can see the toon henry au ? :]

[@KeyBlackStudios]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you're enjoying these! The comics I drew for the Toon Henry AU are all archived on my Tumblr blog, right over here: keyblack.tumblr.com/tagged/toon%20henry%20au/

[@olivernstarz]

@@KeyBlackStudios ohh, awesome !! and thank you so much !

[@metacoffeeguy]

I asked these questions before, but you didn’t answer them, so I’ll leave it here for you to notice this comment. Has your project something to do with Abomination (a project by Halfus, also developing the unanswered questions in the game and expanding Joey Drew’s character)? Joey with Tommy Gun sounded kinda familiar to me, that’s for sure! Does your project include Joey Drew being the Ink Demon (or, at least, some straight connections between the characters), like in the original? Will your project include characters or concepts from Bendy and the Dark Revival? And, also, will Allison and Tom be included in the story, or is there just one inky toon trio? And also, I wanna know why you never reveal the characters’ names, even Bendy is never called by the name, although in the original video he is called that on the poster.

[@robertslittlechanel2536]

I find the way you draw Alice hot and I’m ashamed for it 😭

[@nixtwix07]

Moral of story, take breaks when drawing/animating, or your gonna be a lost soul... Drawer to drawer/artists.. TAKE👏FUCKING👏BREAKS👏

[@madisonvo2354]

I can’t wait to see if you’ll created Bendy and the Dark Revival music videos

[@LOLJamesDoodles]
