Spaghetti Western Entry

Haven't had time to do a tip-of the week yet. This is the most I can muster for now: Rim-lighting makes things more fun!
I loved doing this one. I almost want to do another now. Just wait until Kevin posts his.













Edit: Okay then, here's a close-up.

Dang you Sam too damn brilliant.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

I want a closeup shot of their faces.

Mark Behm said...

Awesome. Love both of them. It took me a second to figure out what was going on in the foreground. Then I had a good chuckle.

Joe said...

I heart this drawing.

Shane Olson said...

Good grief you're getting good. I've always loved your stuff, but man, you're rockin'. LOVE the faces on these two! I second the motion to see them close-up. Wow!

LoL Joe ;)

Kevin Keele said...

This is one of my most favorite things you've ever done. I love it!

Your work is really stunning man!

Sam Nielson said...

Thanks everyone!

El Fro: I think this one probably took me about 10 hours. Hard to say though, because it was an hour here, 30 minutes there, etc.

This is GREAT! I love the girl's eyes... that mindless gaze is priceless. And he's a classic Western hero. I love it. And the skulls on the boots are a nice touch too. Colors, design, staging... all amazing! This is a classic, Sam.
