From the world of the Wand Slinger, his nemesis, an elf bounty hunter. Based off of Lee Van Clef’s costuming in the Dollars Trilogy, this elf is tracking down The Wand Slinger after a sizable bounty is placed on his head. Not sure about name. I’m not even sure about how I’m going to even tell this story. Maybe just narrative images? #wandslinger #weirdwestern #fantasyart #originalcharacter #sketch https://www.instagram.com/p/Cljj6Z2uom0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Eleanor and Sophia . A little #paintingwip #procreateportrait of #myocs which I noodled this afternoon to warm up the brain a little in this stormy weather. A bit loose, light on the details, just musing on something that might make a nice wallpaper for the #maldito set, a little different than the others... #elvesofcolor #historicalfashioninspired #weirdwestern #redstudiorat https://www.instagram.com/p/CLSw-mdjOGv/?igshid=xv9fpbj86jpx

I illustrated this on my livestream earlier today, a prop from the sci-fi/fantasy/weird-western 'Children of Gaia: War & Horses'.

Welcome to the (Weird) Wild West!

These titles all combine Western tropes with “weird”, or supernatural, elements. 

Devil’s Call combines a classic Western revenge tale with witchcraft

How Much of These Hills is Gold tells a story of survival during the gold rush with a ghostly twist

In The Distance is a literary and highly esteemed about a man who becomes a giant

Sea of Rust puts a post-apocalyptic robotic twist on the Western genre 

Stoker’s Wilde West combines historical figures, the Wild West, and vampires

Ten Low takes the Western genre to outer space

This is just the tip of the iceberg! If any of these titles grab your attention, use your local library or bookstore to dig deeper!

There’s my Saturday sorted! Big huge thanks to John Boden (@shineynobuttons), @mother.horror, and @night_worms for the complimentary review copy! I just got this out of the mailbox and plan on digging in straightaway. I’ll have a review up soon, so keep an eye out for that. I’m expecting great things, though! Here’s the synopsis: . Some things are older than time. Older than darkness. . Levi is a monstrous man—made of scars and scary as hell, he’s glutted on ghosts and evolving to carry out the dark wishes of the ancient whispers in his head. He’s building a door and what’s on the other side is terrifying. . Jones spent a lot of time living bottle to bottle and trying to erase things. Now he’s looking for the man who killed his mother and maybe a little bit of looking or himself as well. . Keaton is on the run from accusations as well as himself, he suffers alone until he meets Jubal, an orphaned boy with his little sisters in a sling. . Every line is not a straight line and everything must converge. A parable writ in dust and blood on warped barn wood. A journey in the classic sense, populated with dried husks of towns…and people both odd and anything but ordinary. Hornets, reverse-werewolves and one of the most vicious villains you’ll ever know are all part of it. Pull on your boots and saddle up, we’ll Walk The Darkness Down. . . . #nightwormsreviews #nightwormsbookparty #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #bookreviewer #booksofinstagram #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #bookporn #bookphotography #bookaddict #bookworm #bibliophile #horrorbooks #horrorstories #westerns #weirdwest #weirdwestern #currentlyreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B4pjN4WAkLz/?igshid=1nmypyo3o4d95
