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!

Gorgeous and very powerful character my friend, excellent composition!
Fabulous work!
If Johnny Depp is playing him there will be a stronger character for it. In fact I can hardley imagine Depp not stealing the show. I like the crow headress and the extreme darkness of the image.
Go, Tonto. I think the basic image of the Native American has changed a lot since the original movies. Love the "make-up" you did for him.....
Super cool my friend. I love Johnny allot though Ive not seen this yet. I dont watch many movies...cant sit that long.
thank you for this image for it makes me think of my father who died around this time several years ago from a rare genetic disease...he loved the lone ranger and I use to watch it with him as a young child although we didn't have the best relationship back then...we did both like the show and your tonto is magnificent. love the raven head piece and you did an excellent job with the face...excellent render and tribute to "Tonto"... chills and thrills

great job on painting and use of Yannis
Such beautiful work! An amazing likeness to the character, almost better than the original! And I'm glad they made Tonto look cooler (and more authentic) than the original from the TV show. You did excellent work on the face paint and the headdress, and I love the background, he really stands out against those sunset colors. OXOXOXO Jane
Gorgeous dramatic work! I love it!
Outstanding work on this scene Seth He looks great
You are right to call for the zoom there is great sadness in those eyes. STUNNING IMAGE 10+++
Amazing creation... wonderfully done !
cool, excellent
The Deppster eh Seth,this Rocks eh.
Wonderful
Excellent depiction! Great job on the makeup and crow headdress. Funny what Rene says if that's true. Indeed Tonto deserves more credit, but given that they're using a caucasian for the the role, makes me wonder. Depp on the other hand is nobody's lackey, so I think they might just do him some justice. Actually looks like an entertaining movie.
Very nice painting Tonto's face! I remember this show all to well. Excellent work!
One of your best for the Native moment ,so impressive and a pure delectation for the eyes and meaning like ((6.5 ++))
Fantastic! You did a great job on this.
Glad to lurn about that TV show Seth. Stunning compo for witch I've a question : did you paint the face on postworking or was it a previous work on texture/ applied/then rendered ? Nice work. Cheers.
Esplêndida obra e realização meu amigo, aplausos (5)
Very cool render and portraying, Seth. Heros deserve better. :) Fantastic Photoshop work on his face. Really good craftsmanship.
Cooool!!
fabulous textures and setting! wonderful character
A fab render Seth, captured Depp's portrail perfectly!!! Most excellent Tonto may be a derogatory term in Spanish, but as we are in the Mid West.. I prefer the Potawatomi translation "wild one"
cool
Fantastic :O-)
with you all the way...this is great
Super.. omg.. that skin is really great, Seth! This just rocks! :)
