With the help of a local blacksmith, the rugged gunslinger reforges his arsenal using alien Blackrock metal salvaged from the mines below the city plateaus, fusing frontier grit with otherworldly power.
This piece went through several reworks to achieve a gritty, high-contrast look that emphasizes both mood and a key turning point in the story where the gunslinger’s outdated gear evolves into something entirely new. I explored multiple photobashed backgrounds, refining the scene to find what worked best and ensure strong readability and clarity.
