Red Dead Redemption 2 Player Recreates Iconic Scene as Impressive Oil Painting
The amount of fan adoration for Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 seems to have no bounds. Though it has been several years since the action-adventure title hit gaming platforms, the community seems to have aged finely like the game, with fans continuing to provide unique RDR2 content such as mods, and even remakes of the Wild West setting in other unrelated games. Recently, another avid fan showcased their love for the title by recreating an iconic scene from the story by means of a traditional painting.
With no official news from Rockstar Games about another title in the Red Dead Redemption series, fans have taken to picking apart the base game in order to create a wealth of content. Though most of these are meme-worthy and focus on hilarious Red Dead Redemption 2 glitches, some fan works revolve around the immersive story and compelling characters. This implies that though the title may be two years old, the impact of the narrative remains heavily ingrained in the hearts of its community.
In the gaming subReddit, user Mighty6Tighty6Whitey, also named A. Cannon on their Instagram (@somethingaboutnothingart) account, posted a photo of their traditional artwork of Red Dead Redemption 2. In the description, the user noted that they used oils to reproduce an iconic scene from the game. Most fans will likely recall this scene from the Assault on Braithwaite Manor mission. In this scenario, the Dutch Van der Linde gang heads to the mansion in an attempt to rescue John Marston’s son Jack. Mighty6Tighty6Whitey was able to bring to life the mood and setting of the in-game scene, which many fans likely deem as unforgettable.
The replies on the Reddit thread were encouraging of the artist, showing how Red Dead Redemption 2 fans are likely supportive of these kinds of fan art. Some commenters even took to role-playing, replying with some of the phrases spoken by the gang members during this specific mission. Others also mentioned the nostalgia of the scene, even noting how this part of the story showcased the rare leadership skills of gang head Dutch Van der Linde.
With such a compelling story, and well-loved characters, Red Dead Redemption 2 looks to be one of the most timeless video games of this generation, given how RDR2 was able to rack up many awards during its launch year. Many fans continue to hold out hope that Rockstar Games will be able to continue their great story-telling, and live up to the fans’ expectations of announcing another title in the Red Dead Redemption series sooner than later.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
