Bone Boy Billy 50: Blood for the Blood Worms

 

Witches often establish connections with the creatures of the dark. Things that scurry and burrow away from the light are often sources of power they can draw from.


Come back tomorrow for the start of our month long Halloween special, Yellow Lights!

BTB 3: Billy Origins Part 1 of 2

Image
 Welcome back to another Behind the Bones. Where we look at the making of and history of Bone Boy Billy, it's characters, it's world, it's weird lore, all the good stuff. Today we're gonna open the curtains on the early days of the series and describe it's slow transformation before it became the beautiful (?) butterfly we all see today. Here is a rough attempt at recreating the first Billy doodle. So first up as mentioned previously, Billy began as a doodle mistake. An attempt at drawing the Xenomorph from the Alien franchise (please don't sue me Disney) that I kinda botched and turned into a weird alien skeleton monster. I liked the image and when trying to re-draw it, could never get the angle right and was never really happy with it. So I quickly decided to ditch the alien design and go with him being a normal skellington. The only holdover from the alien idea was how he revived. I figured the alien crashed into a mystic lake that could things back from the ...

Halloween 2025 Special Early Look

Image
  It started with an ending. Unfortunate news hit the world that on January 16th, 2025, the world got a little less colorful and strange. David Lynch passed away. Nothing will ever be the same without him. I wouldn't be the same person without his work. It's influenced me and countless other artists on deeply personal levels.  Like so many before me, I turned my grief into a drawing. I doodled my Bone Boy Billy as an agent of the FBI making a humorous recording for Diane. After that I watched a lot of Youtube videos about Lynch and his work and ended up re-watching the first season of Twin Peaks. Along with watching some of his films I'd never seen before like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead.  I was incredibly inspired watching Lynch's work and wanting to find some way to pay homage to it. I'd already been struggling thinking of what would be the focal point for this year's Halloween special. I revisited the doodle of Agent Billy and suddenly I had ...

BTB 5: How a Comic Changes from Idea to Final Form

Image
  Greetings from the land of my desk! It's your faithful comic creator, Andrenn, back to tell you more unwanted information about how I make this comic! Today we're gonna cover a little closer to the actual creation process as we cover how a comic goes from it's earliest sketched idea to the final version I post on here. I'm using two recent comics as a good example for this. First up, Billy Comics #26, Bad Dog. This comic had a very different second half. It's a good showcase that an idea may seem fun/funny at first but upon making it real, it doesn't hit the same way.  My initial idea was more of a fun little gag where Georgie rides off victorious. I liked it all right but after drawing it out I just wasn't finding it as humorous. So I rethought the gag a few different ways. Eventually stumbling upon the idea of demonically powering up the pets to free themselves. It felt a lot more in line with the character and the weird creepy/cute horror world we play ...
