I joked about this in the tags of another post, but I don't think it's mentioned enough that the first two Fallout titles deliberately used stylized stop motion puppets to depict their characters!!

You may think "Oh maybe that was just easier at the time than making them realistic" but NO!! Tons of games used real life FMV footage in the exact same way Fallout used its stylized puppets!

It's also part of why the OG fallout models still look way better than any of the modern ones!

The original Fallout creators deliberately wanted all their mutants and ghouls to look like fucked up claymation dudes and the more the series strays from that the worse off it will be!

I played through all of Dead Money in like a couple of days and now it has a grasp on me. Here's Sun and his new bestie Christine

Some notes about Sun in Dead Money:

He borrowed the Khan's one and only pipboy from Vault 15 because it had a radio attachment and he wanted to find the Sierra Madre. It's very broken and he only knows how to work the radio and the light (because those are the only parts that work) until Christine fixes it for him

He has to kill Dean because he passed the barter check refused to be pushed around by some old asshole and that made Dean mad

His hair tie got sent back to the Mojave with the rest of his items and all his companions are bald

Sun likes to talk to people and when he's stressed he tends to ramble which gets worse when Christine can't really keep up with him. he is telling her shit he wouldn't tell a therapist

He is not courier six. he hits Christine with the "dam that's crazy" whenever she talks about Ulysses having beef with some courier

Has nothing to do with anything, except I was looking for something in my archived art and found this cut scene. I love you Miss Anya.

Here's a cut scene that I ended up removing for pacing purposes, and because the goats were dropped from the script! Some dialogue was removed to avoid confusion and spoilers in following pages.

realised I've never redrawn the intro even tho I obsess over it constantly, so here it is. I genuinely think this might be the best piece of art I've ever done

Good morning. Yesterday I drew the Sleight guys as unicorns which was a fun exercise because it lead me to ask the following question: how exactly do you crucify a horse?

Hope y'all enjoy.
