Feel free to follow the latest Far West developments:

Art Preview

As we finish up the final arrangements to get the Limited Edition of the FAR WEST Adventure Game out to the printer, I realize that we’ve been terribly remiss about posting updates here on the site. We’ve been present on the official forums, but haven’t posted material to the actual site for far too long. That changes as of today — we’ll be making a concerted effort to feature more content here.

To kick things off, I realized that we’d previewed the cover image for the game on the forum, and via Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, but not here! Curse me for an addle-pated galoot! Realizing my misdeed, the subject of this post became obvious — not only will be give you a look at the cover, but at some of the other art that’s been flying from the talented hands of Mr. Rick Hershey. So without further ado:

FAR WEST LIMITED EDITION COVER

 


 
 

FAR WEST INTERIOR ART

 

A grizzled Ranger, boldly wearing his forbidden star.
 
 

Some brave souls can actually manage to ride a Thunderbird… if they can train one.
 
 

A notorious air-pirate and outlaw.
 
 

BACKER PORTRAITS

A short selection of some of the portraiture which will be appearing in the Limited Edition:
 

 
 

 
 


 
 
We hope that you’ve enjoyed this glimpse of the art of FAR WEST. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get a game finished! Stay tuned for more material coming soon — more vignettes, more development articles, and announcement of our follow-up Kickstarter project, kicking of the FAR WEST fiction line!

    Yeah, fantastic work! I can’t wait to see the book when it’s released. 🙂

    Is every Backer portrait going to appear in the LE?

  4. Jehosephat says:

    Very impressive.

  5. Brian Bird says:

    Will the backstories or pertinent text we sent to Rick be included in our histories and personalized adventures? Just curious as my FarWest counterpart Alistair “Birddog” Shade is an ex Ranger.

      The only thing that appears in the Adventure Game is the portraits. The backstories come into play later on. 🙂

    Stunning stuff. I want to buy this game on the strength of the art alone – very evocative, consistent and downright groovy.
