A talented Red Dead Redemption 2 fan online has shared their impressive oil painting of the game's protagonist, Arthur Morgan. This Red Dead Redemption 2 artwork is extremely stylized, showcasing the artist's talents.

Over six years after its initial release, Red Dead Redemption 2 remains extremely popular in the gaming community. Its vast player base is not shy about sharing its love for the Western title online, often creating amazing tributes that showcase their own talents in unique ways. For example, one Red Dead Redemption 2 fan recently turned an in-game image into an enamel pin, turning the game into something they could actually display in real life.

Redditor keenanmcateerart shared their awesome Red Dead Redemption 2 artwork, which depicts Arthur Morgan as he appears at the very start of the game. The piece was painted with oil colors on a linen board, and has an effect that seems to make blood-red paint seep out of the character, creating an incredibly unique look. According to keenanmcateerart, the piece was split over three painting sessions, taking around eight hours to complete in total.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Arthur Morgan Oil Painting

As the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur Morgan is extremely popular among fans. His personal storyline is arguably the most compelling aspect of the game, and this frequently translates into unique fan creations based on the character. There was even one Red Dead Redemption 2 fan who spent seven months recreating Arthur's journal, which looked like it was pulled directly from the game. Whether Arthur returns in a future Red Dead Redemption game is up in the air, but his legacy is already secure.

Given Rockstar's focus on the development of Grand Theft Auto 6, gamers should not expect to see any new Red Dead Redemption from the studio for a long time. PC gamers recently got a port of the original game after waiting for 14 years, but it's not quite the same as a new title in the series. The gap between the original and its sequel extended to eight years, and it certainly seems that any sequel to Red Dead Redemption 2 will comfortably surpass that wait. It's a shame, but it's one of the realities of modern game development, with titles seemingly taking longer to complete - that's the curse of Rockstar's attention to detail.

America, 1899. The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him. From the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America at the dawn of the modern age.
