What this video covers
Wicked Makers' Jaimie and Jay build a large-scale pneumatic animatronic of the Ink Demon from Bendy and the Dark Revival, marking a significant step up in complexity from their previous builds. The project combines welded steel framing, foam-and-wire muscle structure, a custom 3D-printed and sculpted head, and a full black silicone skin to achieve the character's signature inky look. Movement is driven by a pneumatic system and coordinated through a prop controller supplied by Purgatory Props. The result is a full character animatronic capable of physically lunging or striking — true to the threatening nature of the source material.
Key takeaways
- ◆Steel welding was used for the first time by the team to construct a strong, large-scale animatronic armature
- ◆Pneumatics replaced motors and servos to deliver the power needed for a big, aggressive character like the Ink Demon
- ◆The head combined a custom 3D-printed base with hand sculpting for extra texture and drippy details
- ◆Black-tinted silicone covered the entire figure to authentically replicate the character's inky appearance
- ◆A prop controller from Purgatory Props handled the animatronic's sequencing and movement

Two pneumatic systems power the scare: a scissor mechanism that launches the figure forward roughly three feet, and a chest-mounted pneumatic that thrusts its arms outward for the signature jumpscare effect.
