I can see your father in you.
I kept this idea for a long time and I’m still incredibly happy, that so many people like this artwork. I got a very huge feedback and a lot of warm comments, that made my heart aggressively melt T__T
Honestly, I feel a little embarrassed when I see every joyful comment, but it make me so happy during the whole day. Thank you❤️

Concept art of William Birkin from the original Resident Evil 2.
Here's some more early concept art courtesy of the Resident Evil 2 Survival Guide.
Something I noticed with these William images is that his arms appear to have had individual abilities early on in development.
Notice the very long claws on one, the detachable claws on another, the funnel-like maw on a third, and possibly a regular one for grasping things.
It also looked like the arms might have come off and possibly formed sub-bosses at some point too.
I wish this ability wasn't scrapped. Looks like it could have been cool.
If anyone can translate any of this I would very much appreciate it.
Wish more of this sketch wasn't blocked off like this. The Survival Guide tends to layer the art on top of each other. Kinda frustrating.
The double eyeballs are pretty neat.
I like that you can just make out a what looks to be a transparent outline of Leon on the left. Kinda like a cartoon character running away and leaving a dust outline of themselves lol.

What are your headcannons?? 👀
Well, here are my headcanons about William Birkin's post-mutation (if there was one, of course):
- Probably the first and most important thing is the lack of the ability to independently restrain the human species. Due to the fact that the G-virus is not stable in its mutation, William has to take injections to contain the virus. They don't cure it, they just make the virus more dormant.
- William has a constant headache and painkillers do little to help him. But he retains his mental abilities as before.
- Post-mutation William is more aggressive and hot-tempered. Although he tries to control himself in order to remain as cool-blooded as possible and not mutate from any little thing that pisses him off. And by the way, he copes with this successfully.
- By the way! He returns to his mutated form if he misses a dose of the drug, or if he feels severe stress (any strong negative emotion). As well as various more tangible injuries. No, of course, it’s unlikely that it will suddenly mutate from a cut on the arm, but if the wound is serious... (it’s important that it’s just a wound and not an amputation).
- In addition, William does not age much externally and internally, or rather, his process is too slow to seem obvious (again, this is not 100%, because the virus is in him, but at the same time it is partially blocked by the serum).
- And about regeneration! If he loses a limb, it will take him a long time, but the G-virus will restore everything back. (with a simple wound, the body will only generate cells at the site where these cells are lost. And if there is no limb, then it will take longer to expend strength and time. Therefore, it is easier for the body to mutate from a wound than from amputation... But does this apply to the head? I doubt it. And I don’t want to check what will happen if you separate the head. He’s not a designer, right?)
- And he also has a fairly accelerated metabolism due to the virus in him. That's why he's often hungry.
- William can turn back from mutation to the human form only in the G1 phase. The longer he remains in mutation and mutates, the more his consciousness will become confused and lost until it is completely erased. Therefore, he is afraid to use the mutation and does not do it often.
- He is basically afraid of his mutation, and not even because it is not stable, but because William is afraid that he will lose himself.
- William's right eye is damaged by mutations and he periodically has difficulty seeing with it in human form. (I still haven’t figured out how to justify this... It seems that not all of us would feel good if strange metamorphoses happened before our eyes)
- His mutation sites are covered with scars reminiscent of burn scars. At first he was very complex about it, but then he got used to it.
- His scars often itch. Like a swarm of little ants under the skin.
- Even in human form, William has sufficiently developed strength. Of course, he is not as fast as Wesker and in his human condition he will not be able to beat the crap out of someone (along with internal organs), but still.
- Each time during the process of mutation and return to human form, William experiences unbearable pain in his body. It's like you're being torn into so many pieces.
(if one day I have more headcanons, I will add to the list)

concept for an au g-birkin! (with and without his silly lab coat)
had the thought of a version of events where birkin is able to remain in control after being infected with the G virus, though there isn’t a way to undo the extreme mutations. maybe a small amount of an antidote could keep him in control? maybe Someone *cough* wesker *cough* could help him
despite the Everything, he carries on doing evil science, aiding wesker in his plans :]
+ bonus G larva sketch, weird tumor baby
