Alice Angel

Here’s some fanart from Bendy and the Ink Machine. This is from when I tried to mess around with digital art! I haven’t messed around with digital for a while, but I loved the bright colors I could work with.

I’ve thought about going back and trying again. Anyone played this game before? :)

... Read moreIt's really cool to see how many people are still captivated by Alice Angel! Ever since I first played Bendy and the Ink Machine, her design just stuck with me. There's something so intriguing about her dual nature, the angelic yet corrupted look, that makes her an absolute joy – and sometimes a challenge! – to draw. It's not just her appearance; her story and personality really resonate, giving artists so much to work with when creating fanart. When I first started dabbling in digital art, Alice Angel was one of the characters I kept coming back to. Her monochromatic origins but potential for vibrant interpretation make her a fantastic subject. For anyone else thinking about trying their hand at Alice Angel fanart, especially digitally, I've picked up a few things that might help. First off, don't be afraid to experiment with your software! There are so many great free and paid options out there, from Krita and Medibang Paint to Clip Studio Paint and Procreate. Each one has unique brushes and features. When I was working on my Alice Angel piece, I really enjoyed playing with brushes that mimicked traditional ink pens for her outlines, then switching to softer, airbrush-like tools for shading and adding those bright, glowing effects. Speaking of colors, even though BATIM has a very distinct black-and-white aesthetic, that doesn't mean your fanart has to! In fact, that's what I loved most about trying digital for Alice Angel – the freedom to introduce a whole new palette. Think about what emotions you want to convey. Does she look more menacing with deep purples and greens, or more tragic with soft blues and grays? For my piece, I leaned into brighter, almost neon hues to give her a more ethereal, otherworldly glow, which was a fun departure from the game's style. Don't be afraid to push boundaries and see how different color schemes can totally transform her character. Another tip I've found super helpful is gathering references. Even if you know Alice Angel inside and out, looking at screenshots from the game, official concept art, or even other fanart (for inspiration, not copying!) can spark new ideas. Pay attention to her expressions, her poses, and how her outfit drapes. Digital art makes it so easy to layer reference images directly onto your canvas, which can be a huge time-saver. The biggest lesson I've learned when creating fanart, especially for a character you love, is to just have fun with it. Not every piece has to be a masterpiece. Sometimes, it's about trying a new technique, exploring a different style, or simply enjoying the process of bringing a beloved character to life in your own way. My first few attempts at digital Alice Angel fanart weren't perfect, but each one taught me something new. It’s all part of the artistic journey, and seeing how you improve over time is incredibly rewarding. So, if you're a fan of Bendy and the Ink Machine and Alice Angel, grab your stylus or your pencils and start creating! I'd love to see what you come up with!
