Elijah rides off into the proverbial sunset and Jessica in a few years is arrested and walking death row in the California 1850’s era prison system…
I wanted to give Elijah a stern look while on Chinaman’s horse, and show Jessica without her fancy hair, attitudeĀ and finery, cut down in prison stripes- this page is really about closure, and effectively shows us the elements- Elijah leaving in a cliche way, but a nice angle/POV, the hads shackled and her walking the row, with the priest giving last rites in the background while she looks up at the hangman’s noose (see next page)
UPDATE- I made an alteration on the top panel- see correction above the page- I fixed some perspective and anatomy issues with the horse and Elijah- much better- thanks Joe and Jeff!
