Sometimes having too good of reference stymies the muse. Woke up this morning at 5:45 and bailed into another version:




Daily Whipout #498, "Doc Holliday's Last Gunfight #6"


Tried to give him a little bit of a shopworn look. Sickly and a bit unsteady. A little older than his salad days in Tombstone.
