What the hell was the artist thinking when he was making the art?
The art for the loading screens, especially. And the credits one as well.

I gotta say, I'm terrified AND impressed at the same time. Postal 1/Redux has the most paranormal and absolutely terrifying art I have seen. The colours combined with the music you hear in the background send chills down my spine. I almost feel like if you took someone as mentally unstable and sick as the Dude and forced him to draw stuff.

Let's take the "Central Park" art for example. It's pretty scary, combined with some atmospherical music. Perhaps the artist wanted us to empathise with the Dude? Maybe the picture shows the Dude trapped in his own mind of insanity and remorse? I can't tell.

Or The City. It's some kind of satanic creature with massive arms, acompanied by screams and chaos in the background (Postal 1). What the literal ♥♥♥♥. It looks exactly like one of the creatures I had in my nightmares when I was younger.

Anyone else feel that it mostly adds to what the game SHOULD feel like? You're supposed to go into the mind of a psychotic spree killer. It's terrifying to me.

Nevertheless, respect to the artist who managed to PERFECTLY fit the game's intentions with it's art.

I wouldn't be surprised if David Firth designed them for RWS.

While the original artwork served as a basis, the artwork in Redux was still all re-drawn from scratch.

There's also the artwork in The Carnival level, which is all completely new, as well.

If I had to guess, it'd be Takumi Sekiguchi Sloan.

Nope, he did the music.

The lead artist for Redux was Andrew Faecke, with additional art by Tomoko Hosoo.

Randy Briley drew the original cut-scenes.
You know those people are great artists when they have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up mind :P
Suffering makes you achieve perfection in your art and touch the hearts of the public. Well, nobody's perfect you will say but you always have your own way to perceive perfection in a artwork.

The P1 artworks summed up with the eerie musics are dope.

So It's = its?
You know it's wrong right?
ITS = possessive.
IT'S = contracted.
Sort it out. TY.
