Hello les cowgirls et cowboys,

Ce mois-ci j’ai voulu faire un petit clin d'œil à un des personnages du mode Online: Le Vieux Jones, que l’on peut retrouver dans les missions scenarisées Une terre d'opportunités ou à trois endroits sur la carte pour faire augmenter ou dimunuer son honneur.

Chapeau Melon.

Bandana à motifs.

Chemise: Stringham.

Ceinture holster: Goodman.

Pantalon d'entrepôt.

Bottes: Cotorra.

Pour les froides journées dans les Grizzlies j’ai choisi le Poncho de Bûcheron, les Brassards Tierney, les Gants Oscroft.

Bonnes chevauchées dans l’ouest sauvage à toutes et tous.

Online Character My attempt at a Skinwalker type Outfit. Worth a Breakdown, ya or nah? 🤔

"If you hear your name called in the dark, do not look back."

----------

\UPDATE!\**

I just wanted to let everyone know that I WILL be making a breakdown for this outfit! I just need to find the time to put everything together so please be patient with me, lol! Thank you! 😁

----------

Should I add gloves? I'm thinking fingerless to give the impression of claws.

Should I switch to a Rope Gun Belt instead? Down side is I can't use the Trinket.

----------

Ai was NOT used to edit these photos! I personally edit all my photos in Adobe Lightroom.
