deadasdisco 956 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Look from the possibility I made look like an idiot, lock if old news by the way however I haven't seen these posted anywhere before. I came across this dump of RDR2 concept art which was posted by former Senior Art Director Daren Bader 2 months ago. An interesting look into the creative process of the elusive Rockstar Games. I was going to Embed the whole lot into this thread but there is way to many lol. RDR2 Concept Art. Edited December 30, 2020 by deadasdisco 18 Link to post Share on other sites

Dude a lot of these concept arts have names, "guamawest" "guamaeast" "guamamonastery", you've just stumbled upon a gold mine of cut things and initial concepts for us to analyze 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Spider-Vice 42,223 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 TBH those were probably posted with permission, could be a good sign we're still seeing that artbook, or R* let him post it. He worked on RDR1 as well and he has no concept art for that, so permission may have been involved. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Damn, what could have been. This is more upsetting than never getting that SP DLC for GTA V lol Edited December 31, 2020 by cp1dell 3 Link to post Share on other sites
pariah87 1,300 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) I covered iron cloud and beta grizzlies a bit in this and found Adlers ranch was a family ranch not too long ago, this concept seems to confirm that. Arthur concept also looks like Micah. La Capilla looks like it had a crypt that maybe led down to El Hueco? Possibly also the floating corpse i found in beta guama location.

That's clearly someone who got angry when that came popular Link to post Share on other sites

pariah87 1,300 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) The names of the images were very telling. I think this probably had something to do with that Artbook. I saved them all just to read the names lol Edited January 2 by pariah87 1 Link to post Share on other sites
