Description To tell you I don't know why I'm not dead. Could've killed me at any point. But maybe it's because Tex and I have run in to each other once before.

Bang Bang by Cher
Yeah, yeah *hides head* I'm such a dag! Cher of all things. I actually came across this song by means of torture, a family camping trip with Cher's Greatest Hits spinning around and around (and around and around ohgodmakeitstop). But the first time I heard this (probably not the fiftythird time), with its big dramatic bangs and clangs I thought of Tex and Church on Sidewinder. I've been meaning to do this picture for ever, and now I get to submit it for !

In my mind Tex has gunned down Blue Team and cornered Church in a cave. She levels her SMG at his face as Church closes his eyes, his heart breaking as he recognises her face. Bang! Shards of ice riccochet around his ear as the bullet buries itself in wall. When he finally looks up he see's her haloed by Sidewinder's weak sunlight at the mouth of the cave.

And since I have some days left I may try and do another that's Indi focus.


Bang Bang by Cher
I was five and she was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
She wore black and I wore white
She would always win the fight

Bang bang, she shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called her mine
She would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Nows she's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
She didn't even say goodbye
She didn't take the time to lie.

Bang bang, she shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Well season 14 certainly puts Sidewinder in a very different context.

Whoa! That's amazing. The lighting looks really damn good! The pose are good also. Church lost like he has no clue what to do next and Tex is just like Later, Cockbite.

Also, is that Jimmy's foot in the background? XD

Thankyou, that means a lot! Honestly I drew the picture too big first time round so that smudge tool was a bastard to work with.

Yeah, Cher definitely isn't worth it but since it inspired this I'll forgive her... this time.

If you don't know you are very lucky! Try looking up 'Turn Back Time' on youtube, but keep a fork ready so you can gouge your eyes out.

THIS IS pretty cool! Tex's shading is very cool, and the cave is very slick (no pun intended ohohoho). I'd be glad to use this for Love, Save the Empty! ^^

looks like someone had fun with the smudge tool
