Day 6 of Billy Hargrove Appreciation Week!
by @billyhargroveappreciationweek
Fitting that I got behind on artwork due to plans with our own polycule lol
Drawing Eddie, Chris and Billy together is actually my favorite thing. Mungroveham has my whole heart :’)
This is what their long fought for polycule looks like upon leaving Hawkins. I don’t think Billy envisioned a future where he had a true connection with one person, let alone any more. So when he wakes up one day, all grown up in his house in Shasta, and realizes he’s surrounded by so many lovers and friends, it’s an overwhelming feeling. And while I can’t wait to draw more stuff from that era of Billy’s life, I wanted to capture a sweet moment between him and his anchor partners first :^]
Their graduation isn’t just saying goodbye to school, or to Hawkins and their classmates. It’s more about saying goodbye to the old, conformed versions of themselves. Ones they are leaving behind for something better, more authentic. It’s a proper send off for the people they were when just surviving, before they really start living.
One w/o a background under the cut.
