How to set a custom image as lock screen wallpaper on i3

I am a newbie to i3 and have just set up i3 lock. However using it from the terminal is such a task that I was wondering if there was a way to set up a keyboard shortcut. Also I want to change the lock screen wallpaper and set one of my own. Please help me in doing these things.
Thanks!
