BEND REALITY 3

Drasik Studio

‘Bend Reality’ is our passion project born with the aim of doing something for us, without boundaries, unique and entirely our own. It’s a space for experimentation -with techniques, styles, and narratives- where we explore who we are and express our mindset: in a constantly changing world, transformation is the only way to growth. And our evolution -as individuals and as a creative studio -never stops.
Each piece in the series represents a stage of that journey and carries the scars and sparks of the process — the exhaustion, the breakthroughs, the setbacks, the growth. And it’s a reflection on self-improvement, resilience, and the emotional toll of chasing a goal without rest. That’s why ‘Bend Reality’ is endless: because when you achieve a goal, you are already striving for the next one. Someday, perhaps, all the pieces of this visual metaphore will come together to tell one single story.

'BEND REALITY' BROTHERHOOD is the third part of the "Bend Reality" series, a new statement of intent to keep translating our vision of reality to fantasy worlds through animation. With this release, we wanted to put into visuals the concept of “brotherhood”, which is the affection and loyalty that you feel for people with whom you have something in common.

Character Design

In Bend Reality 3, we travel back in time to revisit the same characters from Bend Reality 1 and Bend Reality 2 — but this time, we see them as children, in the early days of their journey. They’re shown “playing–training” together in what once was their shared home.
Their character design now is more geometric and angular, a deliberate choice to give them strong, expressive personalities while avoiding a traditionally childlike appearance. Even at this young age, these kids already carry emotional weight — the scars of what’s to come are beginning to form. We also introduce a sinister figure wearing a demon mask, a symbol of looming evil. Its presence breaks the innocence of the scene and builds tension, hinting that something dark is about to unfold — a turning point that will shape the characters forever.

Background design

The backgrounds, all fully hand-drawn and rich in detail, are meant to be as much protagonists as the characters themselves. They’re not just settings — they’re meaningful places. They symbolize home, a sense of belonging, and the comforting idea that when everything else falls apart, home will always be there.
