I'm was disappointed when I got to the end of the album.

[–]Qlockwork[S] 19 points20 points ago

There's a few more pieces on his DeviantArt page if you're interested. They're mostly line drawings and miscellaneous artwork. Enjoy. http://patrickbrown.deviantart.com/

[–]lebeast 5 points6 points ago

"This is a jecking!" lol

[–]Piratiko 17 points18 points ago

The old Tommy Vercetti with the gray hair and the gut...

They need to make this game. A Vice City sequel where Tommy is old and washed up, but has to get back into the action "one more time". Kinda like a lighthearted Max Payne 3.

[–]Gravesh 3 points4 points ago

Either that, or where you work for him (or kill him?). It will be 20(??), Tommy is washed up and old as you said, and losing his vast Empire, and it'd be up to you to take a few different choices. Help, kill him or side with rival gangs. I'd imagine the rival gangs being the classic Cubans and Haitians, Some new millennium street gangsters, and Caribbean Cartels.

That'd be a fucking amazing game. Especially if they added that drug dealing side mission like in Chinatown Wars.

[–]Piratiko 7 points8 points ago

You know, I've been thinking about this throughout the morning and I'm thinking it just can't quite work the way I'd want it to.

See, I loved the atmosphere and feel of Vice City. Miami Beach in the 80s? Can't beat it. But for Tommy to be old and washed up, it can't be the 80s anymore. So you'd have to make it modern day, and what place does an old washed up Tony Montana-type guy have in modern times? He'd either have to be laughably anachronistic, or they'd have to modernize him, at which point he's not Tommy Vercetti from Vice City anymore. And we already have modern-day GTA games coming out, so what would make it any different other than the character?

One kinda outside-the-box idea would be to have the game take place in a sort of alternate-history universe where the 80s never really ended, or things became even more 80s-like in the decades following. Actually, a blend of 80s music/fashion and futuristic/modern technology could be really interesting. Almost like Fifth Element minus the space aliens and whatnot.

Alright, now I'm all over the place.

[–]Heroshade 1 point2 points ago

Well, Vice City took place in 1986, so it wouldn't be all that hard to say he gradually lost power over a decade. It could be set in the mid nineties. And CJ could be there. Oh, dreams.

[–]Heroshade 0 points1 point ago

Never played Chinatown Wars, but Scarface: The World is Yours had a pretty cool take on dealing. You sold out of every property you owned and you had to keep them all supplied, so you could go around robbing street dealers or pulling off major deals with other drug lords.

[–]Darth_Kyofu 0 points1 point ago

Altough it's just 3 years, like Toni was in GTAIII.

[–]Cyrisaurus 18 points19 points ago

86 "Uncharted Tribute" would make a great poster.

[–]jade-E 1 point2 points ago

If they did it with the traditional painting style, it would make a much better cover for Uncharted 3 than the actual Uncharted 3 cover.

[–]Beeslo 0 points1 point ago

I was seriously hoping he'd have Tributes for the first two Uncharted games as well. It is awesome!

[–]Clownsheuz 0 points1 point ago

A lot of these would make great posters, IMO.

[–]I_NoScopedJFK 1 point2 points ago

More like Uncharted 3: Drakes Conception. amirite.

[–]Accipehoc 0 points1 point ago

[–]el3ctricman -5 points-4 points ago

Why do people have to tell me this before i notice it?

I was like daamn, amazing picture NEXT

Thanks for this it IS a great poster! :)

[–]alxclrk 32 points33 points ago

the Tommy Vercetti oil painting style one is awesome. With the revolver. Vice City is my favorite GTA for sure. Great story.

[–]QuasarsRcool 15 points16 points ago

The Ace Ventura one almost looks like a different version of Tommy with different hair and goofy expression.

[–]alxclrk 5 points6 points ago

I actually downloaded the album and made the Ace one my phone background. Classic.

[–]Viking_Lordbeast 2 points3 points ago

Saw the thumbnail "Cool, Ace Ventura"
Saw first few pics "Oh, this is a GTA album, must have just been weird looking Tommy Vercetti"

..."nope, Ace Ventura."

[–]Qlockwork[S] 13 points14 points ago

I totally agree. Though I think he looks a lot like Ray Liotta.

[–]Eldeeff 17 points18 points ago

Ray is the voice of Tommy. I also think they tried to squeeze in a bit of Ray in the model.

[–]Qlockwork[S] 12 points13 points ago

Wow, that seems so obvious when I think back to the game. The painting seems so much more thought out now. Thanks.

[–]alxclrk 8 points9 points ago

And you know Ray would be in a GTA movie if they ever made one. He wouldn't be able to stay away from that kind of shit.

[–]Qlockwork[S] 6 points7 points ago

I personally think he'd make a fantastic Sonny Forelli.

[–]sulejmankulenovic 6 points7 points ago

[–]Radar_Monkey 1 point2 points ago

I remember why I want a colt python again.

[–]Viking_Lordbeast 0 points1 point ago

Definitely my favorite too. I like it most because I liked Tommy as a character. He had a lot more personality than his predessors. (Though I think a corpse has more personality than Claude) Also, I loved the 80's atmosphere.

[–]JamesIreland 16 points17 points ago

This guy needs to illustrate a full comic/graphic novel.

[–]seraphim19 24 points25 points ago

Those wolverine ones are tits

[–]Mapex2323 8 points9 points ago

I especially liked the one where he's holding the cigar

[–]Rryann 7 points8 points ago

Agreed, this guy is amazing. He needs to be doing comics.

[–]Rastaa 9 points10 points ago

These are all so awesome, I love this guys style.

[–]You_Better_Smile 13 points14 points ago

Actually, it's Arkham City, not Asylum, seeing as how there's a "Live Nude" neon sign and what appears to be the courthouse behind Batman.

[–]Qlockwork[S] 5 points6 points ago

Damn. I was rushing through the naming process. I hope that's my only screw up.

[–]HouseBreaker 2 points3 points ago

Unfortunately, it's not. There's also Dues Ex and LA Noir.

[–]oueddy 4 points5 points ago

Due Sex was a much better game

[–]Beeslo 1 point2 points ago

Either that...or that's one badass asylum.

[–]rocconyew 5 points6 points ago

And the GOT let me share an awkward moment with my manager.

[–]FrogDie 3 points4 points ago

Pißwasser! German beer!

Drive drunk, all the year!

[–]CerpinTaxes 9 points10 points ago

You can clearly see that he can paint very well but I'm really not a fan of his overly caricature stuff, he draws everyone with the same face and expression.

[–]stefeyboy 7 points8 points ago

Some artists might have a beef with the use of the word "paint." This guy can digital render like a motherfucking baus!!!

[–]CerpinTaxes 11 points12 points ago

Eh, digital painting is painting.

"Digital render" makes it sound like 3D model rendering.

Everybody calls it digital painting.

[–]ThatDamnRaccoon 0 points1 point ago

Agreed. There's no denying it's very good, but maybe a bit repetitive. And all the body types kind of seem like varied basic anatomy layouts for drawing.

[–]orcaphrasis 0 points1 point ago

I don't mind the caricature aspect so much, for the most part (the one for District 9 just looks super weird).

The most repetitive aspect for me is the content--seems like the majority of this album is big guns, violence, and beefcake action heroes. I do love this guy's art style, but seeing so many action scenes in sequence just gets silly after a while.

[–]WrethZ 0 points1 point ago

Agreed, Wikus from district 9 is an average guy in an extraordinary situation, not a n action movie badass.

[–]Croyt 4 points5 points ago

God this guy is awesome at what he does. I can only pray for some Breaking Bad tribute art in the future

[–]Heroshade 0 points1 point ago

I....think he has a portrait of Walter somewhere, I'd have to check.

[–]Kamiyama91 2 points3 points ago

Is anyone paying him money? Someone should be paying him money.

[–]IrishPub 1 point2 points ago

This artist and I share the same name. I wish we shared skill as well. Oh well, at least I have my writing. :/

[–]NiteShadeX2 4 points5 points ago

After seeings so many of these I can say I dont like his style. Just doesnt do anything for me. Still an impressive amount of work.

[–]K__a__M__I 13 points14 points ago

I don't like that western/ american comic style that much either, but damn! This guy has a real eye for composition, flow and mood.

[–]NiteShadeX2 3 points4 points ago

Its highly stylized I'll give him that. Would make for an interesting "mature" cartoon. Maybe something satirical and humourous like The Boondocks.

[–]Kale187 0 points1 point ago

I like how the top and bottom of their faces make a 45 degree angle with eachother.

[–]Qlockwork[S] 4 points5 points ago

Question: One of the images has a slightly exposed nipple. Should I nsfw tag it just to be safe?

[–]Electro_Jade 19 points20 points ago

It's art, dammit! No need for you to tag it NSFW.

[–]Olive_Garden 0 points1 point ago

[–]Sharradan 0 points1 point ago

I'd love the Fallout one for a wallpaper, but my screen is 1920x1090 so it's way too small. What would be the best way of enlarging it? Photoshop?

[–]Heartless000 0 points1 point ago

Ok what does Patrick Brown do for a living? Because if it isn't drawing comics then he's really in the wrong field (unless he's curing cancer, in which case I'll allow it). I'd buy anything this guy does, love the art style! Reminds me of Joe Mad!

[–]SgtBeard 0 points1 point ago

I wonder if he has done any Mass Effect Art? He should if he hasn't.

This dude's really good. Does he do any professional work other than the stuff on deviantart? Seems like he could have a pretty cherry job as a comic book artist or making graphics for game companies.

As someone who has read the books it disgusts me to see Dany with such a 'womanly body'. I get that she does get naked in the books but she's still only 14.

Does anyone else not like this art style? I see it everywhere now, super glossed-up and edited cartoon drawings of video games/movies. They all have generic looking caricatured drawings of famous people, and take all the "art" out of it. Super perfect angles and colors and sun glares. It's all so precise and glossy and just looks so boring and processed.

No doubt it still took a lot of time and skill, and I can appreciate that, I just wish the finished product wasn't so generic and processed looking

[–]anon090909 0 points1 point ago
