    Good or bad, I felt I had to do this. Once again inspired by The Dark Tower; only this time, it's inspired by the alcoholic priest with troubled faith: Father Callahan. I don't know much about him right now but that's irrelevant to the picture.

    Inspired by (but not attempting to duplicate, too much [in that regard I have failed miserably]):


    Black Bars:


    Alternate Edit w/o black bars:



    Notes (Yeah, I thought they died in a fire too):
    - I wish citizen faceposing was as flexible as Left 4 Dead's characters. Here, in comparison to the picture of inspiration, the face truly lacks emotion.
    - I know the picture that inspired mine is in The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower, but I don't know what is really going on. More importantly, what it is he is holding, why? and yadda yadda. For my picture I made it like he's holding some magical medallion shizz. So, fellow Dark Tower fans; don't get angry at the difference. I haven't gotten that far yet.
    - It's not smart to point out all your flaws, when it comes to replies. But, his left arm, yes, I know it looks ugly; with that blockyness and shit.


    I may do more over the weekend. I don't know. Hopefully, I can make something and take some careful time to do some better editing and whatnot (since you know...).

    Comments welcome.

    I like it, original and good. However, his tie looks pasted on.

    "WAS"? AH GOD! THAT COULD ONLY MEA-

    STOP TALKING KRACKER!

    AGH!

    To clarify Kracker: The picture of Father Callahan takes place in the seventh book. I, on the other hand, am currently reading the fifth book. Therefore I have no clue what the picture means or what is happening, just that it looks cool. And yes, Father Callahan is a badass.

    I like the 2nd edit better, but the 1st gets the Whelan's picture down better.
