Description
The Lone Ranger's sidekick, always being sent to town ahead of the Ranger. He got his butt kicked in every town in the West. Then the hero would ride in, guns blazing, to save the day... always felt bad for Tonto. I hope the new movie gives him more credit than the old tv show did.
I painted Tonto's face in Photoshop CS2
Better in Zoom!

Fantastic work! Yeah, I kind of felt bad for Tonto also!
Great image ... And I also hope he gets more credits than it was on the old tv show :)
Excellent dark visualisation of this character! Love the crow headdress and face paint!
Nicely rendered Seth.
You did a fabulous job with this Seth! He looks perfect. I cannot wait for this movie to come out. I saw the previews in the theater for it and it looks like Tonto is the one calling the shots - mostly. I always liked Tonto better than the Lone Ranger myself :)
dont even know tonto lol,except the "Tontos" here in spain.Tonto is a word that ranges between "stupid,azzhole,idiot,craphead,vokkhead"and so on. and the Tontos are doing lots of Tonterias.can you imagine that people go on the street demonstrating ,because they dont want to wear a helmet when cycling ?-in spain they do. its understandable when you see the history. before in the old times they high classes and clerics where dominating spain and kicking azz. later on it was Señor Franco who kicked their butt. and overnight suddenly we are a democracy. but something went wrong there they only got educated their rights and not their responsibilities thats why they sit in the crap now and the sad thing is people like us who invested and want to leave are sucked in and loosing high. for me not the sunny side anymore. listen to eric burdon :we got to get out of this place.
Looks great!
Moving...ironically, most of North America's indigenous peoples were far more civilized than the European settlers...
Moving and impressive work on this image, the painted part is fantastic, awesome work!
Very good work!
Really stunning work - love it ! Excellent job on the face paint as well.
Great Job. Bravo

Excellent painting of his face and a great idea with the "crow" hat ! A very charismatic character !
great work :)
Excellent work my friend.
Bravo for the painting on his face, and the crow on the head is stunning, your image is absolutely fantastic !
Now that is one fantastic character!!!
Your "TONTO" looks simply great - ROFL @ René!
Very Cool!
AWESOME!!! Also looking forward to the movie!
When I was a child I saw a cool "Lone Ranger" cartoon series, I remember Tonto character. Excellent work my friend!
Excellent work. Looks just like the character I have seen in the promos. Much better attempt than mine.
Good work Kemo Sabe.
Great rendition of Tonto! I think he has a more heroic role in the movie, with Johnny Depp playing him.
magnificent job with him Seth. bet he wanted the ranger to get his butt kicked. love the make up you did..
Great work for Tonto (I prefere captain Sparrow lol), he is immediately recognizable
Absolute stunning, impressive work!
Ha, yeah, I think Tonto might get a Fairer Shake with Mr. Depp Portraying him, nice job man Peace
Amazing work, great!
