RDR2: Official Internal Concept Art by Former Senior Art Director.

[deadasdisco]

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.

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

This guy is one of the very first concept art pieces of Arthur Morgan, if you download the image it's titled "arthurmorgan04"

I don't think so.

Bro, Guarma was absolutely going to be the “Mexico chapter” of RDR2.

 

Damn, what could have been. This is more upsetting than never getting that SP DLC for GTA V lol

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.

Look at this image.

 

 

While listening to this, and tell me they aren't correlated.

 

 

[pariah87]

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
