This creation was brought to life by artist Adriana Miller who recreated Clint Eastwood’s face to near perfection. That red and yellow background are an immediate indicator of what the artist is going for and the creation looks incredible. His character, known as The Man With No Name, is immediately recognizable. The artwork shows the character with his poncho, western-style hat, as well as his general grizzled look. As a legendary figure in the genre, it only makes sense to see Clint Eastwood in this style. His face on theRed Dead Redemptionbackground makes the character appear even more likehe belongs inRed Dead Redemption 2.
Clint Eastwood andRed Dead Redemptionare synonymous with the American West. Though not much of a talker, The Man With No Name would be an excellent addition to eitherRed Dead Redemptiongame. Both the game series and the character show off similar lifestyles and both are known for their flirtations with the law. This natural combination is part of the reason why this artwork looks like it came from Rockstar itself.
Just as movies such asA Fistful of DollarsandThe Good, the Bad and the Uglydid much to popularize Wild West-themed movies,Red Dead Redemptionhas done much to popularize similar-themed games. The great audience reception of both titles and the impressive sales have done much to prove the market exists in the video game industry.Red Dead Onlinehas also continued to succeedsince its debut 2 years prior.
