Spaghetti Western

This is so appropriate now that I've just finished a bowl of spaghetti! Well, we had a one week assignment which went like this: using one of the five preselected paintings deemed suitable for this project as a springboard, create a wordless story with 12 images.
We were meant to use the colours from the painting as well, but I didn't follow that part of the brief as closely as I could have I suppose... hmm...

It still needs tweaking... I'd like to draw out the beginning really to show that the cowboy was in the middle of a card game that was interrupted by the Flying Spaghetti Monster's presence before the series of western-style ages-before-anything-happens poses.
I've grown rather attached to this cowboy character... I may well use him again...
And here I shall include the prep work for a few of the pages. See if you can decipher them as they are coded in Nicole-brain-language (not too different from binary really...).

  1. This is pretty intensely awesome! I wish I could see them all in more detail.

  2. ah, thanks! I don't know why, but blogspot had a mini spaz-out when I uploaded them (I guess the files are mighty hefty...).
    I was thinking of making greeting cards and/or postcards out of a few of them later though :)
