Hallow: A Weird West Story
🕑 Added 2021-09-15 15:09:37 +0000 UTCAgainst the backdrop of the Grand Union Railroad’s steel-bound, coal-hearted expansion into the west, the small and haunted town of Hallow becomes the unexpected battleground of a showdown between relentless modernity and the bloodsoaked past, between the real and the less-than-real, between people and the things that were here before them.
It is 1867, and the time of reckoning has come to Hallow.
At long last, it's here: the weird west cast you voted for several months ago. Meet the residents and strangers of Hallow - a haunted town in a forgotten corner of the world, at whose doors both bitter ghosts and the relentless march of progress have come knocking.
Elena Morales the haunted gunslinger; Annabell Gray, the witch of Hallow; Jackson Reeves, the man who can't quite seem to die; Jeremiah Winters the railroad baron, and The Stranger, whose presence is an omen of doom.
.... This was supposed to be merely a character lineup or two, maybe some portraits - and then inspiration grabbed me by the throat and dragged me along until I found myself making a whole dang artbook out of it. At 35 pages, it contains character art for all five characters, presentation text for each of them, a handful of screenshots from the hypothetical tv show this might have been, environment paintings and several pages of development sketches.
You can get your hands on the full artbook by pledging $3/month here on Patreon - or by buying it on Gumroad for $15.
Want a taste of the story that's in it? Download the audio-file attached to this post, and have a listen to the introduction of the town of Hallow, excellently performed by my friend and fellow artist Juno. You can find him on Twitter @GalacticJonah, and support his work on Patreon as well.
