Pistol Pope finished inks!

So, after the pencils from yesterday, here are the inks for Pistol Pope.

Also, here's a version with the pencils under the inks.

Pistol Pope pencils! (inks to follow)

SO here is the piece that all of those research sketches were for. Once you see it, it all makes perfect sense: When a new Pope is chosen, he must first prove himself.

How, you say?

Simple.

He travels back in time to the Old West. To catch outlaws? No. To forge a new frontier? Pah!

No, he fights vampire Nazis.

At least, that's the idea my friend brought to me, and here it is, as the cover for what would hypothetically be Pistol Pope #1.

Who is this Pope, and why is he packing heat?

So, first of all, let me assure you that, despite the joint images of a pope and Nazis, this is not a dig at Ratzinger. It is, however, research for a piece that will be up here in a while, after a bit more research. 

The gun-totin' Pope? 

Well, you'll see...
