Despite his rock-hard abs, Billy's still a bit of a softie.
There are times where I want to draw hot and studly smooth-operators... and then there are times where I just want to draw guys just being themselves, but buff. This is one of the latter. I mean, who wouldn't want a hug from a musclebound dude? Who would say no to a hug period?!
It's been a very long while since I've posted a pic of Billy Joe Cobra — nearly five years, in fact. But I have drawn him a few times over that while; they just haven't been fully finished until now. This one was started a few years ago, concept-wise, then it stalled as a sketch for about a year, then it came together pretty quickly over the summer.
(we don't have to talk about how I copped out on the background)
