Description
Hello there,people from the great Cyberspace,we are in the August to September time period,and do you know what that means? It's time of the Ink Demonth again. In addition to being the time where part of the BATIM community is dedicated to bringing interesting fanmade content (That probably came out a bit rude, I'm sorry) it's also the time where I finally get to talk about my Bendy AUs that I don't usually talk to much even though I have interesting things to say and things to show.As we can see from the date this drawing is being posted,I'm very late to start this event compared to other people. I was still preparing a few things before posting the first drawings (which I wish I had posted before the second half of the month, or at least before the 20th). These preparations,well,as you can see didn't go very well,and I'm posting the first drawings that were supposed to be from the early days of the event very late.
But hey, just because August is running out doesn't mean that time (for the event) is running out or that I'm not going to at least participate in this event for a bit.
I have some drawings done,so I think it's time to finally post them,right?
For starters,we have 'Pride'. The word Pride has multiple meanings,depending on the context you use it. But I decided to go with the meaning that,let's be honest,many used for the theme of this day.
I think sexual orientation and (depending on the character) gender identity isn't something I focus on very much when I talk about my characters (or my interpretations of existing characters). Maybe people who have been following me for a long time must have figured it out.
Of course,just because I don't talk about it doesn't mean that the characters don't have their own sexual orientation or (depending on the character) gender identity. They have one,of course. Besides not being something I don't focus on much (not that I don't want to focus on it,mind you),it's something I'm still working on. They may even have their own sexualities,but that doesn't mean I know exactly who's who. I've already decided on some characters,like the ones above,but even so,not many have a defined sexuality yet.
The theme of Day 1 was a good opportunity to demonstrate one of these characters with defined sexuality finally.
Left to Right: Sarah Stein (My OC; Lesbian) Grant Cohen (Gay) and Abby Lambert (Bisexual).
Originally I was just going to draw Grant (which by the way, the idea of him being Gay in my AU is a recent development),but I didn't want to leave the poor guy alone,so I decided to add Abby and Sarah to the drawing. This was a good opportunity to draw my new designs for Abby and Grant for the first time. They were in need of a makeover for a long time,especially this latter. Now they look a lot better than they used to be. ̶(̶N̶o̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶,̶o̶r̶ ̶r̶e̶m̶e̶m̶b̶e̶r̶,̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶'̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶e̶r̶t̶a̶i̶n̶ ̶a̶s̶p̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶A̶b̶b̶y̶'̶s̶ ̶d̶e̶s̶i̶g̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶o̶d̶a̶y̶'̶s̶ ̶d̶r̶a̶w̶i̶n̶g̶,̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ ̶I̶'̶m̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶w̶o̶n̶d̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶m̶a̶k̶e̶s̶ ̶s̶e̶n̶s̶e̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶c̶e̶r̶t̶a̶i̶n̶ ̶a̶s̶p̶e̶c̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶,̶s̶o̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶d̶r̶a̶w̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶(̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶b̶e̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶f̶u̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ ̶d̶r̶a̶w̶i̶n̶g̶s̶)̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶p̶a̶r̶t̶i̶c̶u̶l̶a̶r̶ ̶d̶e̶t̶a̶i̶l̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶e̶a̶r̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶)̶.̶
I hope I managed to implement the "pride" part in a good and not so "ridiculous" way.
One day I will talk about the sexualities (or gender identity) of other characters,whether they are OCs or character interpretations. I don't know when,but it will happen one day. Never say Never! Other characters will have their turn in the spotlight eventually.
Similar to 2020's Ink Demonth, I don't have much in mind the idea of 100% finalizing the event (Mostly now). I will participate of course as much as I can,I just can't see myself finishing it . The Ink Demonth is a good opportunity for me to stop being lazy in my spare time and finally draw stuff related to my AUs. In reality,all I really want is to have fun. And that's what I intend to do.

Art/Sarah Stein/Grant and Abby's design by me.
I can't BELIEVE that all this time I've been mispronouncing Grant's last name. It's Grant Cohen,not Grant Gohen. I'm very dumb.
