The final reduced image:
Here's the main Photoshopped image from the sketch. The noose and rope are completely redone... the rope in the original illustration was completely not working, so I shot some rope and edited it in. It would have been faster to just get it right in the drawing, but I think the photographic image mixed with the drawing works much better.
The original sketch - the rope's totally not working, I should have used a reference.
