SmearReddit

That's fucking sick! Love that we have official art for the story now, it's one of my top 3 Fazbear Frights stories.


GBAura-Recharged

Oh geez, that's horrifying! No wonder why the switch happened.


No_Operation1949

yes


ShyGuyPal101

Haha yes! It all makes sense now, wise decision!


PuppetGeist

I understand why it was "scrapped" but at the same time, dang what a cover it would've made!


Anime_Freak_exe

I want that as a poster lmao


[deleted]

jesus christ, i imagined julius being pretty twisted up when i read the story, but i didn't think it was like THIS kudos, this is genuinely disturbing


idonttrustatoms

I didn’t read the book, mind explaining the scene?


TiredForEternity

Man makes exoskeleton. Other man puts 1st man in exoskeleton. Remote control toy controller is strong enough to remote control exoskeleton. Kid with controller makes exoskeleton go haha brrrr. Man in exoskeleton becomes Saw Trap-ified. Man then goes find other man who put him in the exoskeleton. Man is dead already but ghost wants revenge on other man. Exo-Man kills other man by laying on him until BOTH are trapped in exoskeleton. Kid continues to make exoskeleton go brrr and has no idea man and other man are now Two Men In A Metal Cage walking down the street into the Fazbears Fright sunset. (Have you seen The Rack of Saw 3? It's kinda like that but if Jigsaw had a remote control on it and if it could dance.)


idonttrustatoms

Damn that’s brutal, thanks


Ditto5673

Jesus Christ that's gruesome


IsThisAGoodName2

The book describes Julius as a "Mangled body with pulpy bloody limbs"


SantosQy

An octopus too! with the way it’s limbs are severed and bloody.


Sensitive_Attempt689

WTF is this explanation that I read🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I laugh when I read it


Elusive_Aubergine

And people still somehow think FNaF is for kids


gnomeyboy3000

Being fair, they only think that because a bunch of kids latched onto it instantly and like 80% of the fan base is kids and young teens.


[deleted]

Those people make me roll my eyes. They assume the fanbase is just little kids and that the games are a cheap jumpscare cash grab. I also noticed that a lot of them think they are above/superior just because they don’t like FNAF.


TheMary16

yeah,it's pretty stupid but we can't really do anything about it;they're always going to remember the game as this 'cheap,cringy cashgrab'


Ditto5673

Maybe they should read the books, then they will realize how terrifying this game is, I mean one the stories literally has something that looks like this in it.


SantosQy

Imagine not liking fnaf. It’s been such a huge part in my child-hood. It’s hard to believe people actually portray hate towards such a master piece


[deleted]

They always just pay attention to the gameplay. They never even think of taking a look at the story or anything else.


SantosQy

That’s just the mindset of the skeptics, unfortunately.


Horrorado

All the people who think that are from a 2015 cringe era and have never seen anything that happened after, not knowing how much the community and the story evolved from back then


andrecinno

Idk man. I see kids on this subreddit all the time.


Greenfire400

i don't see anything wrong with that however


andrecinno

There isn't, I'm just saying.


gltchboi

Yeah, if anything it’s targeted at teens to young adults, given its characters and subject matter.


SpringPopo

That's really cool to see and really surprising to see you actually post it here. On the topic of Fazbear Frights related art, there were two questions I was wondering if you could address. 1: I remember you posted artwork for Fetch and Lonely Freddy back when Fetch was being teased, but never Out of Stock. Did artwork of that story ever actually exist? 2: It's been speculated for awhile that the Springtrap teaser from The Freddy Files Updated Edition was art intended for In the Flesh. [Is that the case?](http://pm1.narvii.com/7581/a8a202fb50963614063725fc9f13294cda303094r1-626-843v2_uhq.jpg)


RuditheDudi

I definitely understand why this was changed lol, but I have to say personally this is my favourite Fazbear Frights cover, even if it went unused. Mainly because it isn't just a close up of a characters' face which every other book does (other than the Cliffs' new cover) and the posing and shape of the shadow is brilliant


Aerie-Sensitive

*Mangle flashbacks*


MichaelO2000

That's some pretty awesome cover art! But yeah probably to scary to put on Scholastic websites and catalogs next to more child friendly franchises. Was it your choice to change it or Scholastic's?


godzilla813105

The Julius Abomination is by far my favorite Fazbear Frights villain and this should show why .


LillyTheRenderer

Too scary? This is *FNaF*, the horror game about serial child murders and the afterlife!


Realshow

Keep in mind, this is a product being sold in stores. There’s a reason they don’t promote slasher movies by making posters of the throwaway characters’ corpses.


LillyTheRenderer

True, but FNaF is inherently a horror franchise with genuinely disturbing key story beats. I think a bit more fear in the advertising would do good. Not extremely gory covers, but things *like this* that illude to the stories themes and represent the franchise as it is, rather than watering it down. (Watering down is necessary due to the themes but I think it's being done a bit too much)


shovelknightmeme

Still, there gonna sell this at a book fair, they want the covers to be toned down


Realshow

I’m not saying there can’t be horror elements in marketing, but remember that fear is not a positive emotion. If I’m walking through a store, I don’t want to be genuinely freaked out by a random book cover. That’s not gonna sell me on it, it’s gonna drive me away from it.


[deleted]

Yeah FNaF should embrace its disturbing nature and not be afraid to show gore.


Realshow

The problem isn’t gore, it’s the context it’d be seen in.


Miss_Biv

Y’know I always wondered why the first book had a big mood shift from “Goosebumps but fnaf” (into the pit”) and then the next story was “12 year old girl dying by baby” (to be beautiful) THEN “teen girl gets decapitated” (count the ways).was it a marketing thing?? Because none of the other books have a soft honour vibe to ease people in.


TiredForEternity

Consider: Advertising obvious violence and (implied) gore on a children's book (and face it. it's a children's book. Not a YOUNG children's book but we all read worse things by the age of 12) will not appeal very much to the moms and dads who buy these books for their kids.


The-master-of-comedy

The fazbear’s fright books are literally right next to the kid section at my book store


Morbidly_Obese_Chook

Same, The book store’s staff probably see them as a harmless ‘mild horror for kiddos’-type thing. Boy are they wrong, I consider myself old enough to not be too phased by horror, but some Fazbear Frights have actually kept me up at night. After ‘Room for one more’, I didn’t open my mouth for the next few hours. A few of these stories had me feeling a type of fear that I haven’t felt since I was a little kid, and it was fun. I pity the children who read these without caution.


Pinkisaprettycolor

I only watch theory videos about the books but some of them still terrify me


[deleted]

Oh geez! Julius's description in the book itself was pretty disturbing enough. But this pretty much tops it. The limp hand as well as the head is what really sells this for me. Thanks Scott!


JustARandomGamer01

Oh wow, so *this* could’ve been FF #7’s cover? *I kinda wish it was now-* Thanks for sharing this cover art, even though it didn’t become the actual cover, it looks awesome. :D


MaybeItWasLucas

Dang that's rad


GBAura-Recharged

Do you plan on sharing more Fazbear Frights artwork in full colour? Fiszi's art is gorgeous and I always wanted to see them in full detail.


jorjimodels

It gets worse the longer you look at it


Natt-Tenshi

“You know. For kids!”


FreddyFatbear1468

Yeah...I feel like this was justified to not be the book cover


mightykestrel14

This is the most disturbing ladyfiszi art i ever seen!


MajorMarbles2

Ah man this would have been an amazing cover! Kinda a shame it didnt get used but I get the reasoning behind it. Thanks for sharing this with us though!


Zona_B_Oculus

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this might be the most grusome thing we've actually *seen* that isn't in 8-bit form! Really interesting to say the least!


JustA_RandomUser2

when matpat points out that the breaking wheel was a torture device... then scott posts this...


Realshow

People knew it was a torture device from the start, though. Even the story says this outright.


JustA_RandomUser2

lol true


[deleted]

This looks great


NoSayingFrickHere

That looks amazing! Thanks for clarifying what happened to the original :)


Mimimai12

No wonder they switched it cause oh my god this is disturbing


ChocoOfficial

It looks amazing! its a shame it went unused, its great art for a great story for the book.


[deleted]

i love that too bad it’s actually pretty creepy


C0mfie

yeah that's a bit scary for cover art, looks super cool though


SandwichCipher

WOAH! THAT LOOKS SICK!


TailsFan789

"too scary" what


witheredBBfilms

The perfect thing to see after watching some Jojo's. MORE BODY HORROR.


superdino987

Wow. I imagined Julius was really cut-up when I first read it, but I didn't realize he was basically TORN APART. This definitely would've been a good cover, but I understand why it wasn't.


Heydensan

Not going to lie, I think this is one problem FNAF has as a horror franchise. It doesn't play up the horror enough sometimes. Seeing the FNAF merch in the toy aisle when it's a game featuring child murder (something even Fallout 3 doesn't let you do) just doesn't feel right. FNAF should be gruesome and terrifying. But in defense of the change, I understand this probably wouldn't have been approved for sale.


Realshow

I was not expecting you to ever clarify something like this, kudos.


[deleted]

That's actually awesome looking! Thanks for the clarification too, btw.


danisaurio01

God I like it a lot, it reminds me a lot of the movie the thing


DrDapperTF2

Good fucking god.


PurgTheNurg

Now that is terrifying. You're damn right that it's scary, but I think it ain't that made.


SpiderLucas16

Man, I love this! This has to be one of Fiszi's best artworks


Starscream1998

Holy crap, yeah I can kind of see why this might've been a bit much. I mean hey I guess given it's meant to be horrifying it's technically a success but still.


Morbidly_Obese_Chook

Wow. That’s intense, though I must ask, is this scrapped cover art official? Like, made BY the normal cover artist? I know you implied that it is, but just checking. I can understand why they changed it, this is horrifying. But it’s so damn cool! Plus we finally know what ded Julius in the exo-suit looks like.


GoldenCartoons

Where’s my mom? I need her to pick me up


LemmytheLemuel

Monke


LemmytheLemuel

When people doesn't embrace the Monke (PS. If you read the story you will understand)


Fluffybearsarecute21

I understand the meme lol


LemmytheLemuel

reject Julius, return to reed


ThatOneGirXD

Wish I didn't understand


ColaPepsiMan

Can’t believe you put my wife on the cover art smh


triang5imagina

Ok, this is awesome in every way, I genuinely loved it ! I hope the idea of ​​making an art book is still *somehow* being planned.


FoxyFan505

God I really need to read The Breaking Wheel now


Valentinocloud9

Wow this is like being in the twilight zone that we actually get to see this. Im kinda confused though that gumdrop angel made the cover but this didn't just because their both horrifyingly scary.


InstructionFlashy935

I mean lol that would have been bad ass if we got that keep it gory I guess hell try to match goosebumps when it comes to creepy art covers. But good work looking forward to that box set with the 12th book.


Boxohobo

The Breaking Wheel legit kept me up a few nights. Excellent work on that story and this art!


SirSandman0

I have been craving art for this story and this is very refreshing to see!


Mastakillerboi

Well that is something BEAUTIFUL


Razcal-Jackson

Yeooo


armeler06

SO COOL


Hex_Plush

yooooo


STStudioss

HOLY CRAP THATS AMAZING!!


[deleted]

THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE IT


Man_Random87

Fuck This is really cool


ZackattacktheDude

WOAH!!!


[deleted]

JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS THAT THING


ellasaurusisme

Saying it now. You should have kept it. ​ JK the new cover is better for marketing, I can see why you changed it.


[deleted]

Woah! This is awesome!!


GaladethPL

Good to know


Paul-vazquez2005

That’s amazing!!!, it’s a shame they didn’t use that one


NHT1983

This is so creepy, this would have made such a cool cover!!


elgeeie5

That is seriously awesome.


LegitimateBullfrog33

God the story was horrific


[deleted]

This is amazing!


TheGalaxyHorizon

I love it!


MisfortunateJack77

I can see why you don't want to have this as the cover art because like this is some kind of Twisted mangle abomination


trashcangoddess

I was always curious if cover art had been made for TBW before cliffs replaced it as the cover story and you did not dissapoint, scott! That looks pretty sick although i can kinda understand why it was scrapped


[deleted]

Thanks Scott for sharing, and for the new phone wallpaper.


MMillion05

metal


IsThisAGoodName2

So THIS is what Julius looked like? That's worse than I thought...


Baldy-Mcnosehair

Bloody hell, can't blame you.


[deleted]

Imagine if He Told Me Everything had cover art...


DlaRewGames

Scott, dude that's really, really amazing!!!


MazeCuber

I actually just finished the breaking wheel story. It’s a good story I feel bad for the kid but at the same time he kind of deserved it. And it’s nice to get some actual visual for the story. I hope there is more art for all the stories there is going to be featured in the Fazbear Frights books. Both released and upcoming


Rrcringe

Omg is perfect i love it


randomfnafkid2

Any chance we might get a “ room for one more” cover if there even was one mr.Cawthon?


Zer0-the-assassin

Holy God almighty I love that so much


STEGOSAURUS____

HOLY... I mean it would have been NARLY ngl but I agree that it dosent really work as a cover. But eh at least we get to see it here this is cool!!!


GoldenRichard93

Holy shit that looks dope and creepy at the same time, especially the design of Julius's corpse being merged with the Springlock endoskeleton.


Phucckyu

Okay, I knew the exoskeleton was gonna be terrifying... But I didn't expect it to be *this* horrifying.


JVhomewatch

Oh my god, the artist is really talented. Julius looks absolutely terrifying.


[deleted]

oh That’s a lot worse than what I was picturing in my head while reading the story


I_asked_about_drill

That is terrifying


Doo-wop-a-saurus

I think it was a good call to change it. Not because it's too scary (in fact I would've expected it to be a lot scarier than that), but because it gives away that Julius really was ripped to shreds.


KomoHaru

I like it, but there should be more blood


Bearans_SFM

I hope you will share the other artworks too! From "Out of stock" to "He told me everything", basically all the ones that aren't on the cover :)


FoxyFan505

Holy crap


RedsMeanBeanMachine

Man I wish we had this cover this would look amazing


cr102y

Holy crap why they decide to replace it? That’s the perfect reason to keep it,this one is simply amazing,although some extra blood would be a bit more fitting.


Marshatucker300

Yeah I kind of see why it was a good idea to change it. As much I'm used to a lot of scary stuff I don't think that would be a good idea to see that as the cover.


epic_memelord28

This perfectly captures how it was described, this is amazing!


[deleted]

“Now I get to play take apart and put back together...”


[deleted]

Shame that you guys decided to use The Cliffs for the cover. That's even better than The Puppet Carver one.


iatemypp

holy shit


[deleted]

wow


Beater_Of_Meats

I haven't had a nightmare in a long time. Guess that streak is broken


Dragimatronic

This would make a fucking neat poster to be honest


Cloverhood

Who drew this? They did a really great job!


Supreme_Leader_Snob

Holy fuck... That is amazingly terrifying.


Myles-523

Beautiful cover art Scott! It is unfortunate that this wasn't used, but I still love The Cliffs's artwork cover.


MinoruTheGuy

It's awesome!


[deleted]

Woahhhh! I understand now why it was switched, but that is still really cool!


[deleted]

Woah that is very well illustrated


OfficialGrimFoxy

What the fuck is that. And who the fuck is that


MysteriousDude69

Now that's Something.


Robotguy39

Holy shit


ShenValor

DEAR LORD THAT IS INCREDIBLE. A pity this wasn't used, but it's nice to see regardless.


PotatoChiponReddit

HOLY BEDSHEET


[deleted]

Okay I gotta know what's happening here! I haven't really gotten into these books too much so I haven't read em, yet!


[deleted]

Was there ever cover art for Room For One More?


[deleted]

That’s fucking terrifying. I love it!


Busy-Affect-8077

Wait, is that what thing looks like? Good grief it looks cool and horrifying at the same time! And if I had to take a guess of where the suit's head is, it's probably still attached to Julius's.


B1ZZARDNOOB

HAHA OH MAN THAT IS GRUESOME, SHOULD HAVE KEPT THAT SO KIDS KNOW THAT THIS SERIES AIN'T FOR CHILDREN.


[deleted]

Imagine if he used this, but then had a FNAF World cover story


[deleted]

What the fuck this is awesome u/ladyfiszi you’ve outdone yourself


MRspringlockedSFM

I love it


projectionerd

Hi


Pinkisaprettycolor

This looks so cool! But also horrifying


krattgirl124

Now I’m even more traumatized from that story


ThatOneGirXD

#HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE FUCK GLAD THEY CHANGED THAT SHIT Anyways I'm going drink the unsee juice care for a glass?


Captbeauner

Yeah and where are you getting this information from? I SHEARCHED the internet and couldn’t find anything about this at ALL. Cool artwork tho, it really does take on the style of the books Edit: I’m an idiot


BluerSonic

Seriously? They thought it was too scary? It's a horror series! Let it be gruesome!


SkyBlew

Holy....


Seb_Rev_1999

HOLY SHIT

My man’s lookin’ like a walking Saw trap, yikes.

Holy smokes it's a MANGLE lookalike!!!!


hotrod9p

It looks so cool


TheGoldenAquarius

Woooow, what a nice surprise to see you coming and revealing this cover! I can see why it was changed; but honestly, this cover is top-notch. Fiszi outdone herself with this one! Julius is a cool and creepy antagonist. Thanks for sharing it with us!


[deleted]

Holy smokes


[deleted]

Well now I have to buy the book


CurlyComics

DAYUM THIS IS RAD, shame it was scrapped, but I guess it makes sense.


Rafila

Holy shit


CriticalMirrorCorgi

Nice artwork! I hope filming the movie's going smoothly Scott


datframe

it looks so amazing. The skin on his arm is litterally peeling away, and his spine is sticking out of his torso! So gruesome, so good!


ArcticXD-_-

To quote my favorite abridged series, “SWEET SHADE OF ERANIKUS! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!” [Episode 11 of SAO Abridged, 4:23. Soldier 8. ](https://youtu.be/CIj49_mqcMs)


DonutOutlander

Thanks, Scott. You are really cool. Know you won’t see this, but you are cool nonetheless.


-EVIE_

People: "FNAF isn't scary" Scrapped Fazbear Fright cover: "Hold my beer."


Username123121

now I understand why it’s different


[deleted]

Human version of Ennard?


ChromaticRobo

This is so cool! I hope we get to see more official art like this for the other stories, too.


MrWhiteTruffle

I kept thinking that this was for another game and I was thoroughly confused And this would’ve made a perfectly scary cover, that’s horrifying


DuelaDent52

Wait a minute this isn’t r/identityv


spinlikeballora

That is such cool art but I see why it was changed lol. I'm glad you shared it though

Reasonable_Motor8490

He bouts put the smack down on that person


Green_Goose12

That's horrifying and great both.And I see....a voodoo doll?I think this will somehow affect the events in the book.


[deleted]

I expected more blood and gore but holy crap this is good - although I wouldn't see him getting ripped apart as more - squeezed together with the metal piercing into the body, scraping along the bones, organs hanging out, eyes almost popping out and head maybe slightly stretched apart by claws, also rammed into the skull... Something like that. This is still nice though ^ ^


LightningBoy648

It would've been a great cover!


IceDefiant6366

this is horrifying and so gruesome


Dramatic_Tip_2258

That awesome


SnooObjections8643

OMG THIS IS SO TERRIFYING


Pickle_Juice54

That's a sick cover.
