Childish memories…
《Funfact: Billy’s Girlfriend was originally named “An Old Friend” in older versions of Billy’s Basic Educational Game》
Denied turn into fried fish
“It’s the same gullible story with you people! One night stand and then it’s a year long run away.”
Leave it to me to always draw the most obcure or unpopular characters.
About WTTW. I know it's been two months now, and with the recent news about one of the BBAU mod creators, I have considered how I would do things going forward.
The good news: I'm still writing WTTW. I'm still going to finish it.
The bad news: ... As originally intended, despite who's in it.
The reason is: I'm in so deep with the story now, with Billy and Denied being integral main characters, that it would feel cheap and low-quality writing to get rid of them. That and the current set up with Gonzalo, and... Killing them all off just isn't possible.
The victim has stated that we don't have to stop making Billter-related stuff, but it's completely understandable to do so anyway. In my opinion, it's just as okay to separate the characters from the creator. Reclaim them, even. Waiting a while to do so is also understandable and fine. At the end of the day, it's up to you; do what feels right!
In this case, I'm not worried about the update pace. It'll be ready when it's ready.
But since it's been a long time, perhaps I could offer a preview or two? It'll be below the Keep Reading.
Maybe it was/wasn't obvious but yeah, Denied's back. Aldurra not giving up the vest is due to him being too stubborn to get something else, and also me not knowing what to give him to begin with.
Billy gets a new house! Meta-speaking, it was the last thing he had left that was from his original game. You could say he's now completely severed from that. It's a bit ironic, but this was already a planned thing.
This is all I can share for now, but as a bonus, here's a silly drawing I made when I saw that one chair meme:
I put way too much effort into it. But I couldn't resist.

Denied and Billy, loitering around and looking all imposing and shit:
I showed my friend your work and he really liked it!
New Leaf Pro Design QRs - Billter Edition! Codes below.
Let's start with Billy. This takes influence from my personal design of his outfit (sweater collar matches in color, white shirt sleeves at the ends, dark backside with decorative buckle), but surprisingly, all 12 argyle diamonds made it in. Was not expecting that!!
Next, we'll venture into the submarine in the ocean, where his father Bob is! Funfact, while looking at his sprite, I noticed that Billter didn't remove the black tie.
So canonically you could say he has both it and the bow (I decided not to). Had to sacrifice one (1) button, but oh well.
Onto the sailors! I referenced Lithuanian naval uniforms:
And changed the colors so that it was more like the tones used in the game, producing this look.
Then realized I fucked up on Gonzalo's and had to change his to reflect his captain status (four 1/2 inch stripes, not two). Accidentally made him a Lieutenant for a hot second, my bad. I also initially tried using the 12 buttons like in the above reference, but it looked too silly and had to downgrade to the 8. And lastly it wouldn't be Gonzalo without his caplet (or are they shoulder pads? Who knows, it is a mystery)!
Finally, deep in that abyss, is a creachure. Denied!! This one's a lot more cut and dry. My only real comment is that I decided to make the left sleeve more... Tied off? Hard to show with Animal Crossing designs but ah well.
