Daily Dresden Drawings – Summer Knight Billy Borden

billysummerknight

Billy Borden is the second character to show up in Summer Knight. Billy’s a college student some I wanted to makes sure he looked younger than Harry, which isn’t hard when Harry looks like shit in the last picture but I wanted him to make sure he’d always look younger than Harry. But the more squared off jaw helps make it so he doesn’t look too much like a teenager. Now Billy shows up on the scene is enthusiastic and confident, calling the raining toads cool. So wanted him to looks overall happy and friendly. He’s got a wide muscular build but is pretty short. When figuring out his body type I ended up going with a picture of an olympic wrestler who had pretty short legs. As for Billy’s clothes, becoming a werewolf made him lose 40-50 lbs of fat so they would be pretty baggy on him (Perfect for easy removed to turn into a wolf). So I just looked up pictures of people in huge T-shirts. His shoes aren’t mentioned at all but I went with slip on shoes to go with his whole easy to change to a wolf set of clothing. And up top I did a small sketch of wolf Billy. Don’t want all the wolves to look the same in silhouette. So Billy’s has a shortish nose to go with the nose I gave human Billy and there is a lot of bulk around the shoulders.
