Well, my Western project is on hold for a variety of reasons, which can be pretty well summed up under the blanket category of “real life.” In the meantime, powerage has released a Wild West Town construction kit over at Rendo that looks to have some pretty cool features.

As for me, I’m not completely idle, and my latest piece has kind of a frontier spirit, of sorts, to it…

“A Stop Along the Way”
Awesome as the road trip was turning out to be, Pete and Tracey were glad to get off the highway for a bit. The Sunrise Inn showed its age, but the owners took pride in the place, and it was clean, comfortable and, in its own way, kind of charming. But seriously… what was the deal with the guy in Room 7?

“Just ASK Her Already!”

“C’mon, Ethan, she’s just a girl—”
“She is NOT just a girl, Josh, she’s Amanda freakin’ SPENCER!”
“Whatever, dude. Bottom line here: you want her to go to the dance with you, you gotta ask her. That’s how it works.”
“I know, I know. I just need a minute to work up my—hey! Did you see that? She smiled! She—aw, man… I think she’s smiling at YOU. Bro, that is so not chill.”
“Oh, for crying out loud…”

Super expression you have got on her face.

Thanks to the awesomeness of Joequick, rduda, Redfern, BlueBeetle3 and Stonemason, here’s a little love for a couple of my all-time favorites…

“Those Two Guys…”
Blue and Gold. Beetle and Booster. Ted and Mike. Best friends, partners, brothers. To much of the world, even to some of their own teammates, they were considered the jokes of the Justice League. But those who bothered to look past their fun-loving—often, admittedly buffoonish—exteriors knew the truth: when it came down to it, they were heroes to the core.

Blue and Gold return! That brings back some memories! Always good to see them again.

Some very cool work on those Western scenes. Like the more modern ones a lot too, the expressions on the teen faces are fantastic. I hope real life does eventually let you get back to the frontier town though, it’s an impressive project.
