Bring It In!

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)

Now Do You Know Why They Call Me The Cobra?

Something that initially started kinda crappy and as a really rough sketch inspired by another piece of art (because I guess that’s where my motivation is coming from again, suddenly – making more “corrections”). Plus, given I’d already done Spencer, I really wanted to do Billy Joe Cobra, because they’re both my picks for this series.

This one’s been sitting in the pile for a while, and when I finally got around to finishing it, I kinda just wanted to keep it simple.

My first image of the new year. I actually had it done last week and ready for posting on Sunday, but I got lazy and decided not to.
