[Skulduggery has lost his favourite hat]
Fletcher: It’s only a hat.
Skulduggery: [aghast] Only a hat?
Ghastly: Skulduggery’s a little attached to that hat. He thinks it’s lucky.
Skulduggery: It is lucky. I've never died while wearing that hat.
Fletcher: [frowning] I… I’m not sure I know how to respond.
Ghastly: That’s a common reaction to Skulduggery.

People characterise Ghastly as 'the sensible one', and yes, he is sensible generally, but I also think it's worth bearing in mind that sometimes, he only seems sensible because he's standing next to Skulduggery Pleasant. It's comparative.
This is the guy who is best friends with Skulduggery who is, you know, Skulduggery. This is the man who fell in love with Tanith Low.
This is the man who, during the middle of a centuries-long war, as a member of an elite squad, went missing for weeks (his friends thought he might be dead) and what was he doing? He was in a cabin with a French woman. Ghastly Bespoke was in the middle of a war, and decided to peace out to have a weeks-long hookup. If he'd had a phone, you know the notifications would have been turned off. Responsibilities, who? The man looked around at death and destruction and thought, you know what? There is a pretty woman with me and I will take some 'me time'. Love that for him.

Not too long ago I met again with a friend I went to secondary school with and she threw me head-first back into remembering the most fabulous skeleton-in-a-hat, Skulduggery Pleasant.
It only took me a good decade and a half to the get the hang of drawing skeletons so that, at last, I could pull off having him do all sorts of nonsense and expressions... with his friends and enemies!
These interpretations are based less on the official descriptions and more on my general memory and vibe of them. Consider them alternative interpretations!
(Yes, I know that's not the right Bentley model, but it's still beautiful ok)
And for another sharp-looking detective illustration, find him on my blog!

honestly considering how young sorcerers take their names ghastly looking at himself and deciding that's an apt description is heart breaking he was probably like 10 and thought that badly of his appearance already

Skulduggery: I can't do this without you, Ghastly.
Ghastly: Of course you can. Not as stylishly, of course.

Naturally, being the skeleton enthusiast I am, couldn't help but draw him with a dashing swish (come on, we all had a crush on him, don't leave me standing alone here alone...right?)
For some more sketches with him and interpretations of the crew (like the lil' teaster below), find them on my blog!
