Looks like traditional paints,I like it.The only thing bothering me is the gun,I think it would look better with a metallic look,the orange parts make me think it's a water pistol.

I like it very much. Looks like a speed-painting with nice composition and mood. Loose but effective.

Well executed. It's remind me a poster from Once upon a time in the west

Nice understated rendering and sense of movement.

Thank you all for taking the time to write a commentary on "prepare2die".

@yerffej: I try to achieve this "traditional paint look" without imitating a special technique, so I'm happy about your comment about it, thanks. I'm not so happy about the "water pistol" :lol: , but maybe you are right and I have to modify it a little. -----> update 17.02.04 @472

@amoeba: Thank you for liking it. I'm glad that it kept the speedpainting-look although I'm a really slooooow painter.

@robertmekis: Thnx. I first had to search for that poster on google before answering. And you are absolutely right with it. Seems I'm 35 year too late with my painting .

@Nailati: Thank you. Since I didn't use any reference I'm very happy about your comment.

Not bad at all. I like such rough drawings.

Go check out Craig Mullins site (goodbrush.com) he has alot of western themed sketches done recently....(but u maybe already knew).

Keep it up

That shine makes a big difference,but I think,and this is only my opinion,if your going to keep it orange you could put a little shading on it as well.But that perspective is quite cool,it's the kind I like to think up.Well done.

@RaZuZ: Thanks - also for the reference to goodbrush. I saw some of his cowboy sketches but I forgot that. Next thing I do is to go on a pilgrimage to the masters site .

@yerffej: Thanks for coming back and your comment. I liked the idea of reflecting the red sand of the ground in the gun without textures in contrast to the surrounding areas. But I'll give it a try, too.

Ever worked with Painter? I think that program fits your style even more.

Tried it some years ago - I think it was Painter 3 - but after killing me two or three files I went back to Photoshop. But maybe I should give it again a try.
