Summary
AnAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfan has recreated Edward Hoppers' Nighthawks with Villagers from the game.Animal Crossing: New Horizonsfan art often encapsulates the personalities of Villagers or the small town setting, but this one provides an alternate take on a famous painting.
Because ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons' Museum collection, there are many paintings that players can unlock. These paintings can be found on Jolly Redd’s boat to the north, or at his stall on Harv’s Island. Sometimes the art is fake, requiring players to look closely at each piece before purchasing it. Once the real art has been identified, it can be given to the Museum where it will be on display with a small tidbit about it. One player has decided to go beyond the game to combineAnimal Crossingand famous art in their interpretation of the diner scene in Edward Hoppers' Nighthawks.
Reddit user Bluepotionart recently shared fan art that combinesAnimal Crossingcharacters with the famous Nighthawks painting. In the original art, three patrons sit at a bar in a location called Phillies, which has lights that illuminate the street outside. Because these unnamed people seemingly ordered coffee, the Reddit user identified a link to The Roost. Like in the game, Brewster is behind the counter at The Roost, which has received a redesign to match Nighthawks cafe. Instead of serving three patrons, there are only two. TheAnimal Crossingprotagonistis asleep at the counter, while the frog Villager Lily observes them with bloodshot eyes.
WithAnimal Crossing: New Horizons' Roostbeing the only place to get coffee on the island, the fan art boasts that Brewster’s drink is number one. Bluepotionart’s fan art successfully replicates the light from the cafe illuminating the surrounding street, but the buildings outside differ significantly from those in the game. Brewster is also missing his back room which includes items like coffee cups and gyroids. While many pieces of famous art are in the game, Edward Hoppers' Nighthawks isn’t among them. Based on the success of the latest game, a future installment may include Nighthawks as a potential Museum display.
WhileAnimal Crossing: New HorizonsVillagerslike Lily can be spotted at The Roost, the painting leaves out NPCs like Wilbur and Blathers. Important NPCs can often be seen sitting at The Roost’s counter or stopping in for a visit before returning to their duties. Though Bluepotionart has received several uplifting comments on their fan art, it doesn’t appear that they’re selling prints of it.
