After playing the remake of Resident Evil 4, many players may not want to return to the terrifying and mysterious village at the center of the game, but one creative fan has made an amazing oil painting of the iconic setting. The remake of the beloved Resident Evil installment has received high praise across the board, and this particular fan wanted to pay tribute with their artistic abilities.
Released back in March of this year, the remake of Resident Evil 4 has left a variety of both critics and gamers singing praises for the hit horror title from Capcom. Although there are various titles to choose from in the world of Resident Evil, Resident Evil 4 is seen by many fans as an iconic entry in the franchise. One aspect that sets the fourth installment apart from the rest of the series is the game's setting. As players take on the role of Leon Kennedy, the game's protagonist is tasked with uncovering the mysteries in a sleepy, yet sinister, Spanish village as players fight to save the President's daughter. The village is just as much of a character in the game as anyone or anything else, and it makes the game an incredibly immersive horror experience.
An artist on Reddit known as Flintdead shared their oil painting of the Resident Evil 4 village to the r/gaming subreddit, and it's an incredible tribute to the horror title. There's a long list of artistic tributes to the Resident Evil games, and this oil painting is a welcome addition.
The painting by Flintdead captures the gloomy dreariness of the game's village. From the dilapidated wooden buildings to the burning pyre at the center of the town, the dread many fans know well from playing Resident Evil 4 is captured perfectly. As one of the most iconic locations in the entirety of the Resident Evil franchise, it must have been difficult to capture the feeling of such an important place in the game, but Flintdead's talent let the horror game's eerie mood shine through in the artwork.
Being one of the most notable horror titles of the twenty-first century, Resident Evil 4 has enjoyed a great resurgence thanks to the positive feedback of the remake. Whether a player grew up with the original or is experiencing this story for the first time, when someone enjoys a game enough they are sometimes compelled to pay tribute in ways that help showcase their creativity, and it's a great way to bring fellow fans together.
Resident Evil 4 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
