Description A simple portrait of Charon from Fallout 3, who’s still my favourite game character. I drew this one back in September, before Fallout: New Vegas was out. But even though F:NV is a great game, for me none of the followers there is as good as Charon.

Charon is really cool. My fav in the entire series is Cassidy from fallout 2.  But in fallout three it's either Charon or Jericho.  As of Fallout NV Ed-e As of Fallout 4.. Nick and or Macready.

Have to agree with your description, sort of what made F:NV feel so empty for me. Really thought Charon was awesome, though Cass was kinda cool in F:NV. Cool portrait though

Charon is pretty cool and I feel sorry for him. I wish we'd know more about what really happened to him. Anyway, awesome drawing: the lighting and the colors are great. I featured your drawing on my Facebook page: [link] Cheers!

Charon is a little too loyal sometimes.

*Hits 3dog in the leg as a joke when he's sleeping*

Charon: Look out!

*Kills 3dog when he gets up.*

Charon will forever be the best of the companions in the Fallout games.

You have a talent for sketching Charon. You really do. Between this and 'A Moment of Peace', I think you should go to work for Betheseda as a concept artist!

So, I'm going to go with the crowd and say how great this it. You know, the crap stuff. Anyway, I love the tilt of the hat, like he's just waiting to tilt it up and say 'Get away from my Lone Wanderer'. Bonus if he has a piece of straw in his mouth while saying it!!

Fabulous work, the hat really sets off his look. I've always thought he should have been romanceable.

I agree.... the main fault of New Vegas is that no one of the followers is a charismatic as Charon and Butch were for me.
Cool depiction of Charon, I can see the badassery.

Yeah, even though they all have extensive back stories, no one really gets me, as Charon did. Well, maybe that's the thing - with the followers in the F3 more was left to the imagination.

And sorry for a late answer.

I love the painting and texture on here. The scratches in the armour and the stitches in the leather are brilliant.
I wish I could see his expression under that hat. xD

There's my favourite not-actually-a-cowboy in the world! I still adore Charon after all this time too.

Just loving how the battered look of the leather, gauntlets and shoulders guards carries over to the gun. I think everything in the game has that "aged remnants of the past" look; all weathered and banged up and in the ghoul characters it is reflected in their very skin. I think you paint it all brilliantly. Everything here ties in together so well against the simple backdrop of sky and little bit of barren land. I particularly like sky backgrounds in Fallout pictures because somehow it always gets me thinking that despite all the chaos in the Wasteland, the sky at least goes unchanged. It's kind of a stupid, whimsical thought, but I like it.

Thanks for showing us this awesome piece!

You're welcome. Your pictures always make me take notice, so the least I can do is really look at them and tell you what I appreciate about them!
