I don't know if it's proper, as the creator of entry #2, to answer some of the posts? If not, please delete this. Thnx!

It was created in GIMP (poor man's photoshop lol) and I didn't show the tower on purpose. It's my vision of the first line of the first book, "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."

I created a literal "blank slate", (with no logo's/wording), because the criteria list said to leave it blank. I made the assumption that all the extra's would be added afterward and that they would need to be sized accordingly. Sorry mine looks so plain.

And to those who said he looked dead lol, you don't know how true that is! It's actually a bronze statue of a cowboy in the Ukraine. I colored him of course but it was impossible to find a stock image of a real western style man that could pass for Roland. I thought once the logo's and donator names where spilled across it, it would look fine. Your comments were just too funny lol.

BTW they are all gorgeous entries!
I personally voted for #1. Love the colors and the softness!
