Description "The ink realm has only continued to grow since its inception. What started out as a recreation of an animation company has turned into an eternal maze with no way out in sight. Rooms repeating themselves,corridors that can lead nowhere and anywhere,infinite floors,and localities created that surpass the limits of the old establishment,this world has become so much more than the ancient studio it is based on could ever be.
Because of the sheer scale of the Cycle,to say that there are still many areas that still need to be explored is an understatement. When you think you already know all the possible landmarks of this world,you end up finding yourself on a path to yet another unknown territory. And as such,it's only natural that many of these self-proclaimed 'studio explorers' with a sense of adventure end up having a certain curiosity to investigate these new lands. To see what possibly exists in the beyond.

However,there are restrictions. There are several locations within the ink realm that are off-limits to many of its inhabitants. Places that not many would dare to explore,and that only the bravest (or in a few cases,the most powerful) of creatures would be willing to enter.

Areas like the mysterious Level 414. Linked to a number covered in prophecy,this level is considered one of the most enigmatic places in the Cycle,as well as one of the most difficult to access.
No one knows what truly hides in this particular part of the old studio. Some say that this is where the answers to its greatest mysteries are found,others say that this is where the true exit from this hell is located,and others say that this is where the most dangerous beings of this realm originate.
Whatever lies deep within that floor,one thing is certain: until someone brave enough finds the true path to this place and faces its darkness,the secrets of 414 will continue on as just another legend of the dark puddles...

...
So,to all the renowned explorers out there who boast that they are the most fearless entities in the studio for venturing into the most dangerous territories dominated by the Ink Demon,and think they are capable enough of finding this hidden floor.
I only have one question to ask you:
Dare to explore level 414?"

DA users getting the full version of the above mini "story" I see. Lucky ones. But they also received the version of the drawing where the shadows are *little* darker, which could be a good or bad thing.

Life decided I wasn't going to post this on the 14th for Reasons, so here's a drawing in celebration of Day 414.
Late. Relieved to finally post this,though. Very proud of this drawing ngl. But yeah,I admit I'm a little scared of how the lighting on this piece turned out. Hope it turned out ok. (But if not, someone tell me, please)

But yeah, AU stuff. Ideas that I've had for a while and that it was about time to get them off the paper.

We still don't know what 414 actually means in-universe, so I better use this opportunity to play around with some ideas and concepts I've made for my AUs while I still have time.
And yeah, Dark Survival's Level 414 was just a "one time" joke that may never appear again in the franchise. Doesn't mean I can't take the concept and run with it haha.

Finally drawing an OC that needed attention again. I still have to develop some things about him though. After all, I've placed him in an important position within the stories of my AUs,and it's my job to see that he lives up to that position. (that sentence sounded grander than I expected wow)
Eventually I will draw Atlas again. Next month is his birthday after all.

Yeah. Hope the rest of the Bendy fans had a good 414.
Or a good day in general.
