Big Iron (1) - Blind Horse Creek

🌵[Blind Horse Creek] 🌵

 

It's Wild West Balled Time!

 

Wow what a journey I have been on to complete this image!

 

Sometime I am my own worst enemy, this was by far one of my more ambitious complex shoots.

 

I saw some nice images from Blind Horse Creek Sim over the last few months and did some prospecting a few weeks ago. RL has been busy for me so it went to back wood burning stove until I had time to do with the time and care needed.

 

One element this sim that caught my eye was this awesome little Cantina. At I first thought this looks like Camila Runoi's of 80 day's fame work, who's Wind River sim is next door in fact it was her work! Lots of great details from her, the 2 sims really transition together superbly, you don't feel like 2 different sims by multiple builders.

 

I do things different from a lot people, I start with my background frame before I pull in the avatars. I build the image in my crazy head 1st. Always giving the builder their due. I don't make images often anymore, so if I shoot it I see something pretty special.

 

The Marty Robbins song "Big Iron"came to me, it seemed the perfect concept to build my frame. Just a superb ballad that tells you the story of Texas Red & the Arizona Ranger.

 

I play both parts by the magic of layering in post edits. That actually went ok because how set my frame. I used FS Posing tool for both poses.

 

A note about photographers visiting this RPing sim, it pays to dress for the period, get permission or wear the proper RP huds or appropriate tags.

 

You might find yourself in Territorial Prison as I did! After paying my restitution my parol was granted and I was able to complete this journey!

 

After my ejections and sim ban and a sim restart while in my set up, I present to you Big Iron!

 

Peace Out ☮️

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day

Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say

No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip

For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

 

It was early in the morning when he rode into the town

He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around

He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip

And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

 

In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red

Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead

He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four

And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more

One and nineteen more

 

Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around

Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town

He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead

And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red

After Texas Red

 

Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red

But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead

Twenty men had tried to take him twenty men had made a slip

Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

 

The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet

It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street

Folks were watching from the windows every-body held their breath

They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death

About to meet his death

 

There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play

And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today

Texas Red had not cleared leather fore a bullet fairly ripped

And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

 

It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round

There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground

Oh he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip

When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

 

Big iron Big iron

 

When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip

 

Big iron on his hip
