Now that I'm reading Stephen King's Dark Tower Saga I had to try and draw a billy bumbler the way I imagine them (more or less). This isn't supposed to be Oy but a random bumbler. I'm still not sure about the tail... o.o"

IDK about the markings (because they seem a little too raccoonish), or about the eyes because they seem a bit too small (King makes them sound like they must be huge eyes), but this is far and away the best looking Billy-bumbler I've seen anyone draw!
It's almost exactly what I imagined them to look like!!! And I LOVE the tail!!! King mentions that it's fluffy, long, and corkscrewed afterall, so I think you've done brilliantly! You even managed to give it the long (extendable) neck without making the whole thing look awkward (my attempts always turn out ungodly awkward when I try to do the extendable neck) I just love it!


Oh my gosh!! This is so good. Have you read the last Dark Tower book? Because there is a very good picture of Oy in there, and this billy-bumbler looks a lot like it! Also there is a picture of a billy-bumbler in one of the comic suppliments. And I also had trouble picturing billy-bumblers, Oy or not. So cute!

Knowing it a google image search would do the trick. Or, you could go here: [link] I thought that I would just look up the link for you... =/ But if you click on the artwork for the last Dark Tower book, there is a great picture of Jake and Oy.

I think this is the best picture I've found of a billy bumbler. I found while reading the Dark Tower series that Oy was one of the hardest things to picture. I think you captured it very well and I do liek your interpretation. I think Oy is one of my favourite characters in teh series, he's just too cute. anyway, take care.

this is a very good drawing!!!
but i do believe that you've forgotten the gold rimmed eyes.
i also picture the tail to have curly fur, not be curly it's self because Stephen King also describes Eddie's hair to be "corkscrewed" because he just woke up.
so i think that the hair of the billybumbler must be messy or curly because it is also descirbed as "corkscrewed"
