cause & effect

If asked: "Can a god love?" and the man replies, "No." Know that he speaks the truth. But if asked again: "Will you love me?" and he answers, "Only as much as a god may." Know that his love is endless. ("I gave you a heart, dearest." / "But I asked for no such thing.")

Bill(ford) art dump of wips I won't finish. First two are my Bill designs. TV Bill by Sparky on Discord. Last is that one scene from MW.

"Why did you betray me?" asked the frog angrily, "Now we will both suffer." "I'm sorry," the scorpion lied, “I couldn’t help it. It’s my nature.”

[qaletheian]

Updated this to match my current design for Bill. Don't mind me...

My human!Bill Cipher ref for my own piece of mind. I have an "AU" idea, but we'll see how that turns out. I call him Scorpion Bill :>

More rambles under the cut:

Not featured on the sheet, but his braid/hair normally floats.

When he's human the gold turns gray and his static scar looks more like a normal scar. (And obviously, his hair no longer floats). He absolutely despises that he has a mouth where a human mouth should be and has tried keeping things in his empty eye socket before Ford stops him or he gets a headache.

Mabel makes him a nice glass eye to use, but it's a while before he uses it.

Now you understand, mechanical hands / Are the ruler of everything

You could say he's got him wrapped around his finger(s). I really love the puppet motif ... and @donniipao's design is the best, for sure.

Let's dance among the stars, you and I

Finally finished this! There are Mistakes, but at this point, at least I could salvage what I had after I lost all my files.

Think of these thoughts as limitless light / Exposing closing circuitry of fright

@spoonyspine's design is so fun and expressive! I had so much fun with this one.

[qaletheian]

Might need a little more of that, Mabel ...

I have about 7 wips of Bill and Billford I should be working on, but instead I blacked out and drew this.

"I may have been the puppet, but I'll always be in control."

Bill design by @donniipao, such a cool concept!

(close up under the cut).

Hey, Guys! [Shows up to the fandom 12 years late].

Human(oid)!Bill design by @eksvnd managed to yoink me out of a two year artblock. What a cool and inspired design!

"This means I'll eat your heart, you know. When you die."

Wilbur closes his mouth with a snap, teeth clicking together and eyes widening.

He hadn't thought of something like that, of a history that cannot discredit his words, for ages now. But the act seems right, fitting. Why shouldn't he eat Wilbur's heart? After all that's happened, why not rip it out of his chest now, hot and still beating?

"You'll eat my heart?"

He slides his hand back up over his shoulders, stands on his toes and grips the back of the other man's neck, forcing him to bend forward, "I'll devour your heart, Wilbur; every last bit. It's more than you deserve."

Two men at the end of the world. They know each other well. Themselves even less.

A look at one of their last encounters.

This will never get done because my pc crashed and I lost all my files, but I wanted to share anyway. Have this shitty android photo of the lineart :')

"Psycho-competitive" or whatever the kids are calling it these days

*Toxic by Britney Spears plays aggressively in the background*

(I’ve been told Bad Romance by Lady Gaga also works). 

Anyway, have some Hattercrow !
