Redd's Fake Paintings (Spoilers)

[Mint]

The differences in Redd's fake paintings have changed from New Leaf's. I bought a fake.

Spoiler: Solemn Painting

Spoiler: The Vitruvian Man/Academic Painting

Real:

Fake:

Has a more worn out paper, has a coffee stain. Pose is not changed from the real one however.

Spoiler: Warrior Statue

The warrior statue is fake if he's holding something.
I just had a terracotta warrior statue holding a shovel, but the original there is nothing in his hands.

Spoiler: Basic Painting

Fake Basic Painting:

Real:

Spoiler: Moving Painting

Oh I can show you what the fake moving painting is like!

The fake one (pictured above) does not have a tree in the right of the background.

Heres the real painting irl below in comparison

Hope this helps! It's one of the more obvious ones luckily lol

Spoiler: Quaint Painting

unlike in ACNL, the painting does not wear a blue bonnet instead the "fake" has a wider stream of milk vs. the real one which has a thinner stream

Spoiler: Graceful Painting

Real:

Fake:

I think that the woman looking back painting may be fake since in the original there is a small white piece of ribbon (or something) sticking out from the middle portion of her hair.

Oh wow, Nintendo. Heckin' sneaky, lol.

did you already get redd? i've yet to see him, is there a specific time he comes in?

 

[Nefarious]

Oh wow, I couldn't see what part of it was fake for a minute. Spot the difference just got a whole lot harder.

Talk to Blathers about the museum expansion. Redd should show up the next day.

oh wow, they've stepped up the fraud game!! i love that, makes it a little more interesting. i usually display art in my house anyways, so i guess if i accidentally buy fakes, they'll live there.

 

[The Hidden Owl]

I'm so excited for this! They really went all out with the experience and I'm soooo happy they did

Redd's being Redd. Scamming people. But it seems that Nintendo turned up the difficulty in telling the difference on the real and fake painting/sculptures/artifacts.

 

[Pyoopi]

Let's see how good I'll retain my years of art history.

I hope they have some dadaism pieces. I love art that makes people mad.

 

[Zura]

Am I the only one freaking out about how gorgeous that painting looks anyways?!

 

[DarkOnyx]

I noticed! For the quaint painting, the milk maid should be pouring a small stream of milk from the pitcher. In the fake, the stream of milk is slightly wider.

 

[Zura]

Can we get this post pinned for people to point out the differences for people?

 

[Taz]

here’s the fake vs. real for the quaint painting

[Calysis]

Sorry for lack of pictures! I just described what is fake about them.

Spoiler: Gallant statue

The fake Gallant statue has a book.

Spoiler: Ancient statue

The fake Ancient statue has what looks like antennae coming out of the head. The head also appears much thinner height-wise than the real statue, which has a more round head.

Spoiler: Wistful Painting

The fake Wistful painting has a star-shaped earring.

Spoiler: Famous Painting

The fake Famous painting has darker, arched, more pronounced eyebrows than the real painting.

Please, have some Van Gogh stuff

 

[Clock]

Hopefully there will be a real guide soon with more paintings, I'll have to wait tomorrow for Redd to show up.

Also, it seems like it's possible to have multiple real paintings in one day for this game as well. Of the four paintings for sale, two of them were real.

My art major friend was helping me and kept looking back and forth between two paintings trying to figure out which one was fake. Turns out both were real lol.

Does Redd have shop hours? I TT'ed a day after talking to Blathers (he told me about bringing art), and no Redd ship. Currently 10:21pm in my game if that helps

 

[Aleigh]

jfc that's so hard to find

 

[Nefarious]

Are you limited to one art purchase a day still?


I'm hoping they included some surrealism art tbh. Can't wait to see a list of all the new paintings and statues added though.
