With The Way The Lore Is Going We Might As Well Have Something Like This In The Next Game

I had this idea for a Human Bill Cipher design in my head for a while so this morning I decided to get around to doodling it (all I usually have the energy to do is mspaint doodles, I'm not really much of a typical artist type) and honestly I'm pretty proud of it.

Hot take of the day is I don't think "human Bill Cipher" being a reasonably attractive skinny white guy was ever an inherently bad concept, it works for him honestly. People just fumbled on the execution and did it in the least imaginative/appropriate way (aka the generic "hazbin hotel" twink way) because the "palette" for sexymen wasnt as broad back when Gravity Falls was airing*. (The recent hubbub about "old man yaoi" and people posting about 61-year-old Bob Odenkirks smoochers would probably be unthinkable to the tumblr of that era if I've got my facts straight).

But yeah I think this design really works, he's not conventionally attractive but not unattractive either, like, on the cusp of twinkdeath, it's believable that he'd be charming and a bit silly, but also twisted, skeevy, and manipulative.

The kinda guy who buys expensive clothes but doesn't take great care of them, or himself for that matter, a little out-of-shape from a life of decadence and debauchery, neck a little fat from eating carelessly but still thin from constantly moving around and neglecting to eat the rest of the time because god dammit this man has severely unmedicated AuADHD or something along those lines.

His hairdos inspired by the dude from Eraserhead, on theme with gravity being inspired by twin peaks, another work by David Lynch

cannot be fucked rn to draw his full outfit but his full pose is something like this and he's wearing a frock coat, black flared pants, black boots, and white spats.

*EDIT: with all due respect the doctor who or any other live-action tv fandoms were ahead of the curve on this, but thats sort of a matter of course

I'm taking a crack at this whole tumblr thing (even though its a "dead site" and large swaths of its culture aren't my cup of tea, as someone coming from the more tepid corners of 4chan) but I figured it's worth a shot, seeing as twitter isn't really panning out as a place to post my thoughts and art, and I'm trying to start fresh with my online footprint anyway. I already see plenty of this site in screencaps on pinterest so I'd be seeing the occasional annoying/typically unfunny* tumblr posts even if I didn't make my own account.

*(tumblr, like reddit and 4chan, has its own unique brand of unfunny and I might elaborate on this in a future post)

The last time I made one of these it was when I was 13 and I immediately got followed by a porn bot and it scared me into having to delete my account. But all things considered, I probably dodged a bullet by not having a tumblr for the chaotic, mostly regrettable mess that was my teenage years. Either I would have fallen headfirst into asinine radical leftism (which hopefully by now has mostly moved to tumblr) or I would have said some way out-of-line edgelord chud shit and been dogpiled for it (I mean that did happen to me but only on discord, fortunately not quite so public).

But fortunately I think I've grown and matured well past the risk of either of those things happening, so this might not be so bad of a place to set up shop. See ya in the next post, If there are any.

This not a self portrait but its not of a character I can really explain in less than like 5 whole paragraphs so I wont. Still It works well enough as an author avatar for the time being.

Oh, and btw, heres my website:
