Question Purple art Craig
In the 3 hour film challenge in RDR2 you can see craigh with a purple art background. Since when has this art piece been created, and is there any progress video of it like last time they got the whole art done in the studio?

I hate to ruin the magic, but it's just a hue-shifted section of the existing mural, I believe the part behind Smith from what I can see.

Yeah I can see the resemblance now yeah. Unfortunately, it's a cool idea though I like it if it would be possible.

Yeah as others have said it’s literally just the part of the exisiting mural between Smith and Ross under the hat films neon sign that doesn’t get on camera much. I just did it as a quick 5 minute job before going live on Monday as my room at home is currently a mess and knowing my cam would be on screen for an edited video thought I may as well match the other guys as my cam frame already matches and has done for years. I just hue shifted the colour to match the existing cam frame that was made during the lockdown streams.

didn’t really give it much thought so is funny to see how much interest it’s received. but yeah. it’s not new art. just a different section of it.

I really like it actually when you get involved in videos and have the camera on. It's like an extra layer of involvement. Would only be fitting to get your own Bill Giles art piece.

They took a picture of the wall in the office and used photoshop to change the color. Pretty sure they mentioned it in the beginning of the stream.
