'This time, however, Danny found himself in a small town on the razor’s edge between prosperity and decline. The town called itself Amity. Danny vaguely remembered the town from his youth, though nothing really specific. He recalled playing with a hoop with some kids and sometimes helping his mother sell wares at the general store. There was that one hunter fellow he saw once with a massive beard and a bear skin coat with the head of the bear acting as a hood. But he didn’t really remember much of Amity. Though there were some who recognized him.' From Spooks and Spurs written by Sean Dillon.
Hello party people, and welcome to my @ecto-implosion art! I really wanted to play on the idea of Western Danny Phantom and explore not just cowboys but a little bit of some history of my home state and such.
I was paired with the awesome Sean Dillon and they have written this fantastic piece that I hope ya'll will enjoy. Sean went with a more spaghetti, Tarantino and Guillermo del Toro vibe, so it's more grounded in reality and has more dirt, grime and blood. Think Hateful Eight or Django vibes. :3
Now if you're interested, I have concept art and other variations of the main piece down before the cut-
Originally I went into this thinking more along the lines of DP set in the west, so I kept the ghosts and Infinite Realms as a thing and then added in a dash of Ghost king.
You had the Crown of Fire set as a hat band and then the Bolo Tie of Rage to replace the ring. My idea also was to have portable portals via six shooter and instead of a thermos, there would be the lasso and he'd just keep the captured ghosts tied up on the back of his horse, which was really just Cujo because of course the ghost dog would be his mount, it works too well.
I also did some designs for some of the other cast. These were based on a combination of historical photos, preserved outfits and modern gunfighter reenactment garb.
Tucker, Sam and Valerie.
Vlad, Walker and Ember
And lastly:
An Oppenheimer who actually is our favorite meddlesome time bastard Clockwork. Had a lot of fun with this one, Oppe is a big time figure back home so it was awesome getting to include him.
If you've read this far, thank you. I really hope you enjoy the art and story and stay tuned. Sean and I have plans for the fic they wrote, which may or may not involve adapting it into a graphic novel format.
