Red Dead Redemption 2 landed in gamers’ laps at the end of 2018, and after receiving a shower of praise from fans and critics alike for the game’s attention to detail, strong storytelling, and prioritization of the immersion, Red Dead Redemption 2 was considered by many to be an excellent prequel to the original Red Dead Redemptionfollowing the story of the Van Der Linde gang in a time of decline for outlaws and the Wild West.
In addition to receiving high praise from critics, Red Dead Redemption 2 has earned itself a huge and devoted fanbase. Fans of the game have become deeply attached to the narrative, particularly fond of its protagonist, Arthur Morgan. Since the game’s release, fans have been submitting their tributes to Arthur or the game in general on Reddit, Twitter, and other social media. From a work of art combining Red Dead Redemption 2 and star wars, to a comic-book-style drawing of Arthur, fans find new ways to show their appreciation for western action gaming.
Reddit user u/meginatorlicious, however, decided not to create a crossover piece or draw Arthur in a unique and different style, but instead created an impressive oil painting of the outlaw. As fans have commented, the detail in the painting is remarkable, as everything from Arthur’s beard to the fur lining of his coat is given a realistic level of detail. Unfortunately, this painting lacks a feature of Arthur’s usual attire. Arthur’s famous gambler’s hat is something he is rarely seen without, and even has significance in the narrative, although this painter may have chosen not to include the hat in this painting to better create realism. in Arthur’s hair.
fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 flocked to the post to share their appreciation of the painting. Many called the painting beautiful, and one user said “Honestly, I’ve seen a lot of Arthur’s art and they always look a little off. But I’m pretty sure this is the most accurate creation ever. ‘Arthur, as if she looked almost perfectly like him.’ Compared to High Octane Action Red Dead Redemption 2 can provide, which may even have fans wondering if Arthur is the game’s protagonist or antagonist, the oil painting seems to be representative of an eerie quiet moment.
Not every piece of Red Dead Redemption 2 the art takes itself seriously though, and with every awesome oil painting there’s the quirky piece or montage that comes with it, like a montage where a fan imagined what Tobey Maguire would look like as a Arthur Morgan.
