dix on rix

since you asked so nicely, here are a few messy sketchy silly things i have of him lying around :) sorry it's not much of substance >__<

these are sketches of him post-fall but pre-rick !

the idea for cowboy and rick's initial dynamic was for cowboy to be a tepid little thing, mainly because i like to explore rick's more intrusive and controlling sides as time goes on :) rick himself is a very multifaceted character and i wanted cowboy to tick some of the notches of his that we don't explicitly see very often, especially when cowboy begins to become more independent and confident. i want to someday write a scene of them where cowboy is growing into himself and has begun asking questions and rick starts playing different mental games with different equations on him to test him.

i really like writing s2/farm cowboy because very few people respect him, and it's interesting for him to be a successful, and relatively independent, zombie apocalypse survivor and yet many see him (and even treat him) like he is entirely pathetic. you can imagine how shane sees "another useless mouth to feed" like him. fortunately, he's mostly in the horse barn before shane dies- and then cowboy survives him. funny how the loudest mouths eat the most and yet point the finger. cowboy gains a little more confidence after that.

if you can't read my handwriting, there are transcripts in the alt text !

here's some other stuff :)

and under this is all stuff with cowboy and my boyfriend's self insert, velvet (the one with the red hair/mohawk/buzzcut) :) some of it is canon to cowboy's lore, some of it is just silly !
