Patrick Brown at it again!

Just some recent, if a couple of years can be considered recent, GTA artworks from famous Patrick Brown. The first two are actually ID pictures Patrick used at his deviantArt profile. As you can see he went with GTA IV's Weazel News theme for both of them. Very original if you ask me.

An interesting fact is that backgrounds for both IDs are actually screenshots from the game (GTA IV and Ballad of Gay Tony), but with some Photoshop magic added to them.



Next on our list is a scene from GTA IV: Ballad of Gay Tony. It took Patrick around 20 hours to finish it and while doing it he learned few new tricks.

Meet Luis 'Fernando' Lopez the bodyguard to the nightclub manager Tony "Gay Tony" Prince who is shitting him self in the passenger seat... This scene is actually exactly the same as in Liberty City, it's just up the road from the "Comedy Club".

The last piece is a tribute to GTA IV. Mr P. admitted that it took a lot of work and time to draw and colour almost 30 characters, but it looks like all that hard work paid off.

After playing through GTA IV again I really just felt like doing something HUGE on it. So I decided to make this "tribute" to the game, something that showed almost all the characters of GTA IV and some of the highlights of missions.

New TLAD & CW Artworks

Patrick Brown strikes again with two new Grand Theft Auto related artworks. The first one features Johnny Klebitz from the recently released The Lost and Damned, who wasn’t entirely happy with the progress of the race and decided to “remove” some of the competition the only way he knews how. The hit made the poor soul to collide with an oncoming traffic.

The second image is of Huang Lee from the brand new Chinatown Wars. Looks like our new friend run into a "little" trouble and as a result earned himself 6 star wanted level. Each piece took the author a long time to complete, but they were worth it. Both look just amazing, as every artwork from the P-Meistar.

Available exclusively on Xbox LIVE worldwide on February 17th 2009, The Lost and Damned will feature all new content and is the first of two episodes announced for Grand Theft Auto IV on Xbox 360.

Developed by Rockstar North and set in Liberty City, The Lost and Damned features a new main character and plot that intersects with the storyline of Grand Theft Auto IV; new missions that offer an entirely fresh way to explore Liberty City with new multiplayer modes, weapons and vehicles; and a diverse soundtrack with additional music - all with the incredible production values that are the trademarks of Grand Theft Auto.

Dan Houser, vice president of creative development for Rockstar Games, gave some inside information about the main character in the upcoming episode.

Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background. I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City.
