Reddit user HappySlave15 usesRed Dead Online’s suite of customization options to envisionGrand Theft Auto 5’s Trevor Philips in the time of cowboys and outlaws. The stunning creation perfectly recreates Trevor’s signature scowl, and is complete with a receding hairline to match with the perpetually angry criminal. The creation also comes wearing a denim jacket similar to one worn by Trevor in much ofGrand Theft Auto V’s promotional material. Despite being in a wholly different setting than the deserts of Blaine County, the old west interpretation manages to capture the look of thedangerous criminal Trevor Phillips.
Fellow fans in the post’s comment section were quick to praise the creation for its striking resemblance to theGrand Theft Auto 5protagonist. Others joked about the discrepancy between theRed Dead Onlinecreations having far more hair than the balding Trevor from the 2013 state of San Andreas.Trevor has become a fan favoriteamongst fans ofGrand Theft Auto Vfor his chaotic and mentally unhinged attitude which allows the character to fit in well in an era that was often “kill or be killed”.
