Man To Hell With Bill - Blog Posts

Along with being inspired by other designs, a lot of my thinking for my human Bill Cipher design gravitates around the idea that Bill took one look into Ford’s head, and mashed many of the faces and strangers he’s seen in his life into one grotesque new being (albeit adding a few signature touches of his own). I tried showing this with a lil comic that I unfortunately never finished:

Bill’s design also looks very angular in comparison to the way I draw Ford (overall soft/round angles), at least when I’m trying to be consistent. A visual thing I like to try and show is that when Bill starts to become more familiar to Ford (at least that is what Ford thinks), Bill’s angular looks soften. It goes straight back to abnormal and pointy however after the betrayal, representative of Bill becoming unknown and a stranger to Ford again.
