Bill the Butcher

This card was for a character PIB swap. The first person to post on the swap lists 3 or more characters (from books, tv, movies) that she would like someone to make her. The next person to post agrees to do one of the listed choices and creates a list of characters of her own for the next person to chose and draw for her.

This is Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York.
I drew his bar in the background. Though the bottles are modelled after actual bottles from the late 1800s I came up with the names of each liquor myself. The names are slang expressions you might have heard in America at the time. I've been doing a lot of watercolor lately, but this ATC is colored pencil.
