Joey Drew Studios (ink realm)

This article refers to the ink realm version of Joey Drew Studios. For the real world animation studio, see Joey Drew Studios or Joey Drew Studios/novel.

For other uses, see Joey Drew Studios (disambiguation).

Joey Drew Studios, or simply the studio or the workshop, is the ink realm's counterpart of the real-world animation company of the same name. It represents the establishment Joey Drew and Henry Stein founded to make cartoons, products, and many other merchandise under the IP of the Bendy brand, which was owned by the company itself. Having been created in the ink realm as an abandoned building, the location is very rundown and infested with hostile life forms that ruthlessly attack anyone.

History

After Joey Drew Studios started to decline, Joey started to blame everyone else for the mistakes he had made. This eventually led him to create an ink and paper version of his studio in a abandoned and aging state with the use of the Ink Machine, where a version of Henry would be tortured forever in an endless loop. Progressively, Joey expanded the realm to comprise more than just the studio and established a parallel to the real world. While not functional as a workplace, various ink creatures appear to still perform their real-world occupations.

Background

Joey Drew Studios is a massive location with multiple complex of rooms and areas, filling a decent part of the ink realm to the point where various inhabitants refer to the realm as the "studio". The building is mostly filled with regular animation company rooms, such as the Animation Department, and the Music Department; and other work places, like Administration, the According & Finance office, and the Heavenly Toys Department. However, the studio also has research areas which reach deep underground and lead to cave systems. The Bendyland warehouse is an instance of such locations.

At the upper parts of the studio is the representation of a work environment for animation and audio offices respectively. These locations include multiple of objects, like desk which are used to animate and draw the cartoon characters; the audio department also has a lot of material, with instruments, microphones, a recording studio used for audio recording, and utility shafts and an infirmary. Projectors are also used in both departments where it is used to test animation samples and help with the recording of audio and music.

Additionally, Animation Alley, another ambitious version of the Animation Department; the Writers' room, a location where the scripts for the Bendy cartoons are made; Artist Rest, the sleeping quarters for the employees of the studio; and various other similar locations are created to presumably represent the expanded sections of Joey Drew Studios when the company grew.

The other sections of the studio represents the maintenance purposed sections. These areas are at the lower levels and contain machinery, maintenance, and research and engineering sections for the studio's growth. The levels include manufacturing workshops like Heavenly Toys' department where they manufactured and published toys for the Bendy brand, multiple of levels that are dedicated to their own purpose like smooth running of machinery and pumping of ink, and a warehouse that contains the Bendyland amusement park prototype where attractions and supplies are stored.

The lowest levels represent most important sections of the studio, such as the research department and administration department of the bankrupt company. The department that researches for the studio is used to represent the Ink Machine experiments that Joey Drew and the Gent Corporation conducted in the depths of the studio in secret. These sections open to large cave systems with cages hanging from the ceiling, presumably used to contain the test subjects for the experiments. The Administration of the studio is located in the lower parts of the building and represents the department that administrated and oversaw Joey Drew Studios' operation.

Almost all of the locations in Joey Drew Studios are infested with the inky lifeforms born from the Ink Machine. Some of these creatures are former employees of the studio and still hold onto their career from the real world, and some are hostile beings that wander the studio and attack on sight.

Apocryphal information

The following contains apocryphal information from the novel continuity which was not canon to the main series' storyline. See Bendy Wiki:Canon for more information.

In 1953, after Joey created The Joey Drew Show at Kismet Production Studios, he continued to experiment with the Ink Machine to refine the Bendy television show's new 3-D glasses technology. During his experiments, he came across a ink version of his office. He realized this place was new world and after finding a way to safely interact with it, he would add more rooms using the Ink Machine with the hopes of recreating his studio.

Eventually, he would create the beginnings of his studio, such as the work lobby, the recording studio, and Heavenly Toys.
