The Cult of the Gun!

Inspired by this B&W sketch I found of the Lone Ranger online, I decided to create a comic cover. I love the way he looks. I wish I can get a hold of the artist and use him for my webcomic. Intrigued by the genre known as "Weird West," I took an ominous looking tattoo design and designed the cover around it. I used threshold on a picture of a ghosttown and I layered it onto difference clouds. Some of you may not know this but the original coloring of the Lone Ranger was red and black, not light blue. Hence the decision to color the B&W Ranger sketch in that manner. The Vigilante seemed to be a natural choice to put in the cover seeing as how the style he's drawn in is the same as the Ranger. The comic title was the old placard of the Pinkerton's from the 1880s. I cleaned it up and used the clone tool to clean up smudges and damages. Unfortunately, the text didn't come out so well.
