A Red Dead Redemption 2 fan shares a custom cornhole set featuring Arthur Morgan, adding that a board featuring John Marston is also on the way.

Red Dead Redemption fans have explored many different bugs, glitches, and other mishaps in both the original game and its sequel. Creative fans have experimented with Red Dead Redemption's clothing cosmetics in attempts to replicate characters from other franchises.

Otherwise, artwork of Red Dead Redemption's characters have brought them to life. John Marston and Arthur Morgan are arguably the most favorable Red Dead Redemption characters among fans, with hundreds of hours spent playing as them in either installment. Lately, a fan has decided to translate their admiration for each game into functional art pieces.

Reddit user Redgreen82 shares a work-in-progress glimpse at their custom cornhole set based on Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption franchise. Redgreen82 explains that this cornhole set will feature both Arthur Morgan, featured in the raised platform board fans can see in their image, and John Marston in a board that has not yet been completed. The Arthur board depicts the fan's iteration of Red Dead Redemption 2's promotional art. Red Dead Redemption's red and yellow contrasts are bold, with a prominent use of shading to detail lighting upon the character. Redgreen82's work impressively captures a one-for-one image representing Red Dead Redemption 2's official art.

Further, the scoring hole rests in a clever location on the board. In the fan's impressive art, Arthur's revolver is aimed just as it is in the official art. Redgreen82 has smartly decided to position the art so that the board's hole rests in the revolver's barrel. This way, the hole does not have to be superimposed on top of the rest of the art, and blends in well with the revolver. John's board has yet to be revealed, though Redgreen82 has shared that it will portray John's promotional art from the original Red Dead Redemption, where he is a double-barreled shotgun. However, Redgreen82 has stated that a more creative solution for the board hole will need to be practiced for the other half of their cornhole set.

Another fan, occasionalimposter41, has pointed out the issue with John's promotional art being that the firearm he holds features two holes. Redgreen82 admits that they have considered this issue also, and came to two potential solutions for the board to still remain consistent with Arthur's and maintain its artistic immersion. The creator's first solution was to simply modify the firearm to feature a single-barrel. Instead, they have decided to implement "a home board advantage with a decoy hole." This suggests that there will still be a single hole installed into the board, leaving the artwork's second barrel as a false hole.

Unfortunately for many fans who have voiced their desire to purchase Redgreen82's work based on Red Dead Redemption, the cornhole set's creator is not currently selling it. While a substantial offer may sway their mind in the future, they are at least pleased "to know the interest is there."

Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
