An unofficial keyframe series on the visual language of GTA VI: character archetypes, cinematic staging and the sun-bleached neon of Leonida.

An unofficial speculative keyframe series exploring the visual language of GTA VI — before the world saw it fully realized. The work investigates character archetypes, cinematic staging, and the sun-bleached neon atmosphere of Rockstar’s Leonida through the lens of an art director’s lens. Part fan tribute, part visual development exercise.
