I did this as an exercise in character design, to design faces that actually had recognisable features because they're actually...you know, different. In the top right of the first image, you can see the list I was given to build Billy on. I played a lot with his hair and beard, trying to get a nice design.
My favourite of the lot is the picture of Billy giving a piece of "friendly" advice about some unknown situation to Nostrum, who does illegal jobs for him on a freelance basis. I love how Billy looks there - very "hey look, it's not ME who's saying it, it's THEM. You and me? We're still buddies. 's all good."
I just realised that I forgot to put scars over Billy's right eye in the one with Nostrum. Oh, silly ould me.
