Some amazing unused artwork has been released as avatars on the Rockstar Social Club! There is also some for VCS as well, but the LCS ones are more interesting. They are so good that I would absolutely love it if Rockstar were to release full versions of these. Here's a picture of them all below, just in case you don't want to sign up for some reason (names in itallics are new artworks)



Left to Right: Ray Machowski, Kazuki Kasen, Maria Latore, Toshiko Kasen, Toni Cipriani, Paulie Sindacco, Ned Burner, Mickey Hamfists, Bouncer, Leon McAffrey, R.C. Hole, Ray Machowski, JD O'Toole, Jane Hopper, Giovanni Casa, Donald Love, Avery Carrington, Avenging Angel, 8-Ball.

Yeah I noticed these when I registered there yesterday and I have seen some before but many are very rare and I have never seen. Like you I would love access to the full versions.

Wow, nice find! What's the R* social club, anyway?

[saintdave]

It’s the whole online operation/program where you can buy songs from the game using the in game mobile. Check out the GTA 4 official area for more news.

Okay, thanks.

It's a shame, looks like they put a lot of detail into LCS, wish we could see see higher res versions of them, especially the Avery Carrington one, he looks a LOT older in the artwork compared to how he did in game, I also want to see the Ned Burner cause we didn't really get a good look of him ingame too.

[saintdave]

Yeah there was an apparent lack of effort on Avery’s in game character with him looking exactly the same as he did in Vice City. The Ned Burner one is in the official guide I seem to recall among some of the others but the majority are new or just have never been shown off before.

I emailed Rockstar Leeds (creators of LCS) in regard to them or the main Rockstar company releasing the full sized artworks to the online community. I wont hold my breath on a reply or for them to release them but you never know.

^ havent seen these ones... maybe someone could hook us up with full pics

[JamalG]

heres some artwork for yall who havent seen it:

[saintdave]

@JamalG - Please don’t double post, in future just edit your previous post.

The artwork you posted is quite common, the rarest of them is probably the Mickey one but all are readily available on the net.

It sucks that Mickey Hamfists didn't have a big role in LCS. He only appeared in a few missions. In GTA 3, he had a bigger role.

Actually, Mickey had a bigger role in LCS than GTA 3

In LCS, He was the one who assassinated JD O' Toole
In GTA3, He only says a few lines

[xNamexTakenx]

Well, I guess you're right. But, didn't he appear in more mission cutscenes in GTA 3 than he did in LCS? He was in mostly all the missions where Claude does them for Luigi Gotorelli and some more.

[saintdave]

It may even be the same amount of appearances as that of GTA 3 as he was also in a cut scene (LCS) when Toni gets made.

Can anybody post the VCS ones?




Edit: I think that the artworks of


tommy
richards
kelly
kent paul
gonzales
cortez
candy suxxx
cam
and hilary

are new in VC.


in VCS,
Umberto,
reni,
and Phil
are new.
What's with Eileen? Was she a cut character?

Who's Ned Burner? I haven't played the game in a long time, so I'm probably forgetting.

He's the news reporter guy who poses as a priest to get Toni to do some dirty work for him just so he can get Exclusive reports. He later keeps an eye on what Toni does and was there when him and Donald killed Avery, Ned was going to spill the beans for another exclusive report but Toni killed him before it got out.

[devilrock28]

Oh, okay. I remember it again. Thanks .

Spoiler Tag?

I wonder why they didn't release all of them. They paid for them all, so you think they'd at least let people see them.

Also some unused artwork of Denise, Ryder, Sweet and Barbara from San Andreas.
