Description
I was flipping channels the other day and came upon an old western movie from the 40s. I love westerns, but haven't seen any in a long time. This one cracked me up. The good guy wearing a white hat, shot the bad guys, in black hats, without missing a shot, while the bad guys couldn't hit a thing. They were all of thirty feet from one another. Then the scene jumps to town where the good guy is singing and playing a guitar, with a fiddle and bass player conveniently standing nearby. He sang to the pretty school marm, while his sidekick made eyes with not-so-pretty best friend.
So that got me thinking, couldn't you just picture this fancy pants gussied-up singing cowboy riding into a camp with the likes of John Wayne, Jack Palance and Clint Eastwood sitting around a campfire eating beans with the guys from Blazing Saddles?
"Hey, Buckaroos. What do you say we all sing a song together?"....................Bang! Thud.

Clothes from Poserworld, Questor's gun & holster. Cactii - 3dplants. Made the guitar in Hexagon, made the background scene in Bryce. Painted the shirt details and warped the guy's face with the liquify brush in Photoshop.
This is also a shout out to The Riders In the Sky, a great group of singers of authentic western music, who influenced part of the idea behind this image.

Beautifully!!! Greeting Rocksy
Ain't he a happy cowboy. Love it Dave. Hugs
Oh wow... reminds me of when I was 5 and would go to the Saturday movie and for 25 cents you got the movie, popcorn, drink, and a good ole western complete with singing cowboy. My favorite and first crush was Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger. Great image!
LOL, Gene Autrey!? Great idea and well done!
Great work frog.....!!! Creative POV......!!!!!
Brilliant funky nostalgia.
Jiiieehhh haaaa!!! (o: Hehe ... cool!
Excellent. I can tell a lot of love and care went into the making of this image. (^+^)

Brilliant scene! Looks great. Pose and lighting are excellent.
Dear ol' Roy Rogers/Gene Autry, used to watch these on the TV when I was a kid!!! Lovely image, well thought out and rendered!!
Excellent scene and lighting. Reminds me of being a kid and watching tv, and your right I haven't seen a good western movie in years.
Wonderful...he reminds me Lucky Luke
Kind of on the same wavelength as Akhbour, but your probably right Froggy, 95% chance they would shoot his butt or in it...lol. great work dude!, have to try that liquidfy brush
Great work....!!
lol wonderfully done! lol Excellent posing
Nice job! Funny to see this too! - I do have to wonder how it might have looked with either a cartoon render or after work to give it a cartoon feel. Yippy Kay Yah
Marvelous work!5!
Oh yeah! Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, et al. Re your scenario: Sounds like a subplot for the "Unforgiven." Grin.
That is awesome. Westerns are some of my fav movies too....I remember sitting a watching 'Paint Your Wagon Red' and 'A Mule for Sister Sara' with my dad probably 200 times each!
Great work, Dave!
HE, hE.. Awesome work and render!!!!
Blazing Saddles is exactly what I thought of even before reading the caption -_^ Great render, love those shadows!
Excellent ideer, love to see them all around the campfire.
lol, don't think I'll ever forget that campfire scene in Blazing Saddles. Ace work on the guitar model and all the postwork putting this together.
Ah, the good ol' days. Funny pic!
hahaha...I have broke back jokes, but because I never did get the time to see the movie, I will refrane. I think Clint would get the joke... [=
