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=

I love the genre of WeirdWestern.

Grimluk looks so hot.

I need more western orcs in my life!! This book series is amazing (and I think there is a kickstarter for the third book right now) but I never knew I’d love the idea of an orc western demon hunter until I saw these books on Amazon Kindle. Seriously, if you like western, fantasy, and orcs check these out.

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'. This little trinket belonged to the Governor of Meso County deep in the countryside of the Republic of Draven - #ChildrenOfGaia #illustration #scifi #fantasy #livestreamer #twitchcreative #vintage #antique #oldtimey #artistsoninstagram #horses #weirdwestern #photoshop #clock #brass #texture #digitalart (at Oneshi Press Headquarters) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMlWv1hE0b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dh5mqqznbnhp

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!
