Bendy

Yah, that might be why we're a bit confused. Crisis averted.

That or he just liked the fan art.

So one of us could be wrong but does it really matter?

Email theMeatly then. Or ask that question somewhere like on Youtube or Facebook and maybe he'll answer it in another Q&A about the game.

Then deal with not having an answer or just email him.

Hmmm ... good question.

Watch with spoilers, Lim.

You have a good point there. I kinda am starting to be more convinced about "Bendy" being Joey, more so Bendy and Joey combined recently. But I never though about that point of view and it seems to fit as well. though the writing on the wall, I still for now say that it's more of Bendy who wrote those, as in before the infusion (Ex: the creator lied to us). I do believe Henry might be Bendy's creator, but the question is, what did he lie about then? I highly think either abandonment to the cruel, power-greedy hands of Joey Drew, or he created a new character that he enjoyed making more than Bendy which sparked a feud Between Henry and Joey. Though it is evident that despite it's Bendy and/or Joey, they're obviously mad at him.

It's funny you mentioned that because one night I was analyzing the demon path image. Bendy is missing his right hand (which questionably has five fingers; Docky don't go technical on me now with what fingers are ). I came up with two, or three things. That right hand might be the answer to who is "Bendy", but I also pondered on how he lost it. We know he's a powerful creature in ink demon form as evident that he auto kills the Butcher Gang when they're in his rainy radius. I kinda get a 300 ref feeling with the demon path image as well as not.

The 300 sensation is "Bendy" taking on all those gang members at once. Did he want to take on the Butcher Gang all by himself to prove (to Joey, maybe even more so Henry) that he was the one who started everyone career and is the rightful star of the show? I think maybe more so to prove than he now has the strengthen to finally destroy those who pushed him around. I agree with devildarlin that Bendy's not evil. Look at the animations! He's meek, easily scared, a bit of a cry baby. Being the Ink Demon would fulfill unconscious desires to prove himself he can stand up for himself. So him losing his right hand might signify that he's now not afraid to fight tooth and nail and will not allowed to be pushed around anymore.

Another reasoning might be him being out numbered and fleeing, and somewhere along the line in the mix of things, he loses his hand. I think the picture shows him trying to once again run around from aggressive beings and this time it's more dire. He might have the power to easily take out a handful of the gang members at once, but not a whole horde. Maybe in the pic he's scared and is running away, just like in Tombstone Picnic, and somewhere along the way a few members managed to get him and that's how he lost his hand. OR! ... Maybe Alice did it herself somehow ...

My other thought is, and this connects more to what devildarlin is saying, that "Bendy" is Bendy and Joey put together. I believe so far (it's hard to see it) that the right hand has five fingers while the left has four. That right hand can prove that "Bendy" is Joey. As for relevance to the image ... when the two were fused that hand might be the only "human" part which was Joey's. "Bendy appears deformed so it could be a high possibility that the right hand was useless. So it could mean that since it was "dead weight" that Bendy might have cut off his "own hand". Or, to go off of devildarlin that he hates being reminded about Joey's cruelty and fused with him to make him suffer like he did, so since the hand is the only thing left of Joey (we assume), that's why he did it. And who knows, maybe by cutting that hand off, it could separate Bendy's personality from Joey's soul and then hence forth resumes to fleeing from danger and gets cornered by the gang as we see. There's still a lot of little twist and turns about this.
