“How The West Was One”
“How The West Was One”
A humorous illustration for the illustrationfriday.com theme of Subtract.
Women can conquer, the wild west wasn’t always fought over by men. Ladies can and have kicked ass.
I sketched this concept out in my sketchbook, which is filling out beautifully by the way, and scanned it in on my brand new/bought on craigslist.org, Epson Perfection 2480 PHOTO scanner. I then colored the entire thing in Photoshop. I kept the original sketch lines to add to the feeling of the piece. Now, I’d like to mention I am not a gun expert, so those of you who know your stuff, I do know that it’s not exactly right but give a girl some room eh? Thank you!
Hope the illustrationfriday audience likes this one. My sorta stupid, sorta silly, mostly sarcastic sense of humor comes through on this one like it did on Breezy, course that might not be a good thing, JK! (just kidding)
Clever title. Indeed, ladies of the 1800s in the western U.S as well as in my state of Florida, were a tough lot that got their families through the toughest of situations. It’s a fascinating time in our history.
Anyway, great idea for the subject. Nice job!
Power to the…women and the puns are as good as the illustration. Good one. Thanks for sharing.
