Ethereals May Cry (WIP) - Promeia x Billy - Art By Me
Based on a Dante x Bayonetta edit I found years ago.
To anyone who cares, Billy is significantly harder to draw than Promeia.

Found the reference a couple of years ago and never got the chance to try it until now.
I decided to use base Billy because he has more red.
Oh, and if anyone wants to know who’s harder to draw, it’s Billy.
Fuck you Billy why is Promeia easier to draw than you?!
This piece is based on an edit of Dante and Bayonetta I found randomly like 4 years ago. The final result likely will look massively different from the sketch.
I feel like after filling in the colors the piece actually feels more incomplete than the sketch. I decided to make a version with only the purple as the color and I feel that it’s a lot better.
Do you guys think it too or am I just tripping?
Tried to emulate Bleach’s style with my own twist on it but clearly I still have a long way to go. Now, back to agenda posting.
My favorite female character design of today combined with my favorite female character design in history. Prob need to make the armor grey to separate it from her skin tone.
Please believe me I was saving pity for Yuzuha!
Following comments from the last post(both this and the Billy main sub), I tried to find ways to keep the jacket and the fur collar. One idea was to make the scarf yellow for better color separation. Which worked pretty well.
By the time I reached the 5th pic, I wanted to redesign him from the ground up. A common theme in kamen rider is the cross of fire, meaning the hero and the villain will share the same power or maybe even be the same thing, but what separates the hero is how he uses his power for good. I decided to make Billy more evil looking. I was. Inspired by Barbatos Lupus Rex from Gundam to give him more wolflike proportions, which also helps to make him not look like skinny Banyue. Right now I want him to be able to transition between base and monster Billy, and his face will be able to open up and reveal a monster head, that may also be a gun. Also gave him a tail so he looks more like a devil.
Future updates will come! Prob…
After reading you guys comments I decided to see how to figure out how keep the collar in the design. The solution I came up with to ensure color separation was making the scarf yellow and it does somewhat work. At around my fifth design(tail Billy) I decided to redesign him not just in appearance but in concept too.
A major theme of Kamen Rider is that the hero has the same power/is the same thing as the villain, and what’s make them a hero is how they decided to use that power for good instead. So I decided to make Silly look more evil. Since the fur collar looks like a mane and to avoid looking like skinny Banyue I settled on a wolf design. I have the idea that the faceplate can open and show the wolf head to eat people. I’m also experiencing with Billy being able to transform into the form and back.
Further updates will come soon! Prob…
So I was scrolling Pinterest for Billy images and these two are the first to show up…
What does this mean Hoyo?
While I like Silly’s design conceptually I do think his actual design leaves a lot to be desired. In this redesign I wanted to keep as much of the original as possible and to basically polish up the design. I think I will do a much more drastic redesign down the line, but right now what do you guys think?
Just to be objectively correct here are my credentials.
Was busy playing the new mode so I didn’t upload this sooner. Velina has a strangely complicated hairstyle. I’m not sure how best to show the wind effects but this a good test for future projects.
Based on the W engine and Darth Vader’s broken helmet scene in Obiwan.
Originally I was going to make another slander piece, but because I didn’t lose the 50/50 on Sunna I’ve decided to become a better person. Saw a peak comic by u/Fluffy_Shadow so I decided to make a Billy piece as well.
For context the character just got hit in the head and is now dead in the bathroom stall. The bar on top is the light source(will fix that later). I want to draw attention to his head but right now I feel like the focus is on his torso instead. In this particular painting I only get to use black and white so grays are not an option and I would rather not use hatching if possible. Any advice would be appreciated.
Had to move so it took a bit longer than expected to finish this piece. Overall I’m pretty satisfied. More slander will come.
Haven’t decided if I want to finish the first or second version yet.
Hey y’all, don’t know if this has been answered, but judging from this build, should I go for SER or SC? (Disks are the same for both though I do have a crit rate piece for Disk 4). For teams I pair him with Dialyn and Astra.
