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 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 ...
I made this extra comic because between the 18 pages of Yellow Lights and 12 pages of my horror comic I'm posting online, this makes 31 pages of comics to post all month long. I've had this idea for a while. It was fun to color in all the monsters. The classic Universal Monster movies are must watches for me every Spooktober season.
