I wanted to remember how to draw Bill Cipher.
And also that ship Billford I also like.
guys if this keeps up I'm gonna get on all fours and start howling like a fucking Dog and I won't apologize for it
year later redraw !!! of this!!!
Hey I know the fandom likes to make jokes about Bill and depth reception, but let’s be real for a moment and consider the fact that he’s actually got
Really
Good
Aim
Enough so that I’d call him a sharpshooter.
I feel like when we criticize Filbrick Pines, we tend to focus more on how he kicked Stanley out, and don’t acknowledge enough how he only seemed to give a shit about Stanford because he thought Stanford was going to make a bunch of money. Like I know people have talked about it, but I feel like it tends to more often get overlooked when being compared to what he did to Stanley.
These two aspects of Filbrick together paint him as a father who only cared if his children could benefit him. They’re not bothering him and generally staying out of his way? They’re fine, legally his responsibility too so it’s better that he just doesn’t give a shit. One has the potential to be extremely successful and make a bunch of money? Suddenly he’s “impressed” and excited (whatever this man’s way of expressing excitement is). The other has now ruined the chances of the former getting into a college where he could be successful, and has now prevented the former from “being our ticket out of this joint”? That son is now not allowed to be part of the family at all.
He’s not impressed when they’re are just being themselves, he only cares when it benefits him, and if they cause him any problems, they’re out of the picture.
The brothers quarreled a little.
To be honest, I didn’t really think about the context of what was happening. I just think Stan is trying to stop his brother from doing something absurd and dangerous.
Sibling energy
I used to do this with my little brother. He’s sit on my back just like this. Not always with his feet on my head
As you can see, Stan’s feet are lifted up as Ford’s back support. I would do this with my little brother and if he started to piss me off, all I’d have to do is let my legs fall
Here are a couple more sketches with this charming wizard. There is even a small sketch of his grumpy raven.
At first I planned to draw only Stanley, but then I thought that somehow it was not good for him alone. As a result, Ford joined him😅
