The Static Canvas is a web novel series blending psychological horror, supernatural mystery, and alternate reality game (ARG) immersion, inspired by Bendy and the Ink Machine's eerie retro aesthetic and The Coffin of Andy and Leyley's morally complex characters. Follow Mara Voss, a sharp-tongued, manipulative 22-year-old artist with a knack for trouble, as she's drawn into Vellum Veil Studios-a decaying animation studio where ink moves like blood, sketches watch you, and reality bends to the will of a faceless cartoon Dancer. Each season unveils new layers of the studio's cursed tech, from haunted projectors to fractured dimensions, as Mara battles her own creations and unravels her ties to a reality-warping ritual. With reader-driven puzzles, cryptic multimedia (reels, ciphers, forums), and choices that shape the plot, the series invites fans to co-create a world where art doesn't just live-it fights back.Mara Voss
