It's been years since I read BM but I remember reading that Glanton was a manlet. Some other real life sources also mention he was short and stocky. This doesn't take away from his abilities or character, in fact it makes Glanton more layered. It would be contrived if he was some chad or a clint eastwood-looking badass, and he isn't even portrayed that way in the book. This is the type of guy who prefers his horse to people and becomes a softie for a dog while he has no problem killing people, desperately sells his soul to the devil when he is cornered by the Indians he was trying to get, and gets more wasted and insane the more he wraps around the Judge's finger. He stares at the horizon towards the direction where his home is. He could've been lived a normal life without getting exiled at one point, yet he now leads a group of scraggletoothed degenerates fucking around in the desert. I like how corncob developed him and worked with his real-life references.

I also drew a design of his wife for no particular reason. Apparently in real life the real Glanton's wife was famous for her beauty and he got her hand in marriage by threatening her dad with a gun. Imagine getting a girlfriend that way in modern times.
