Anyone who is familiar with Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series should pick up (hopefully) on the inspiration for this image. Those of you who aren't familiar with it, why not? They have always been a favourite of mine so you have no excuse.
This is also another one for the current technique challenge of "High Key Portraits"...
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Read them three times! If I wasn't so busy taking pictures I would read them again brilliant stories. Your shot would fit nicely on a front cover. Fav :) Wishing you long days and pleasant nights Gunslinger ;)
Loving your processing here Graham. Is this PS? I would like to watch you create one of your images from beginning to end. Fav ! Better check out those books!
@photographycrazy Thank you very much :) @nicolecampbell Thank you very much - much appreciated @dkbarnett They were something quite fabulous, and thank you! @grendelbait I think I could be either depending on the day of the week ;) @ukandie1 Thank you very much - give them a try... @irisn Thank you very much :) @deborah63 Thank you so much - I'm sure I could bring myself to take his money :)) @hrs Thank you very much :) @overalvandaan Thank you very much - the Dark Tower series aren't his usual horror stories...they're not horrors at all... @pamknowler Thank you very much - this isn't PS, it's LR then in to PicMonkey for the background and then back in to LR for some finishing touches...and then it makes it here ;) @rjb71 They are a fantastic series, I'm a many time wanderer through them as well, and "thank'ee sai" ;)
@dibzgreasley I'll take that with a pinch of salt but say thank you anyway ;) @shylaine3304 Thank you kindly :) @lynbonn Thank you very much :) @scotthouston I've never seen that (gasp). As for the costumery...no extra space required, mainly because I actually wear these clothes out as well... @ceilidh You should know the answer to that by now...nowhere ;) @pistache Indeed - I'm quite pleased with this one :)
Nice one ....... But are you the man in black who flees across the desert or the gunslinger who follows? I've counted the fingers........
I must confess that I am not a great Steven King fan but the Dark tower series just got me hook line and sinker. I read the entire series in two weeks which is quite an achievement for slow reading dyslexic like me. :)
Fantastic overall scene. I agree with Scott re Westwood. I have read numerous Steven King books but cannot for the life of me remember the Dark Tower series. I shall have to look them up.
This, Sir, is fucking brilliant!! Of course I read The Dark Tower for the first time in the 90s...
Just curious...how many of your pics have you sold so far?
@tabbycat The plan is to exhibit later this year, funds permitting...we have gallery space and just need to get off our bums. As for the legs, I've had those same ones for 46 years now...
Haha! The fact that you like to read Stephen King is not surprising! LOL! If I read that I'd have nightmares for the rest of my life. Great picture, though. Congrats on making TT!
@nicolecampbell Thank you very much - much appreciated
