Description
Another picture in my Fallout 3 series, once again of my Vaultie and Charon. Another stage in their relationshipSeems like they found a safe enough place to spend a night in, but it had only one old mattress. The Vaultie insisted, that they should both try and sleep sitting on it with their backs to the wall. Charon reluctantly agreed. Next thing he knows, is that Nikki puts her head on his shoulder, mumbling "Would you mind if I use you as a pillow?" and quickly falls asleep, exhausted by all the traveling and fighting. No, he didn't expect that
I've been working on it on and off for a couple of weeks (and the pencil sketch is dated 01.12.2009 on it

I'm likeing this whole story arc between Charon and Nikki. At first he seems to have this wearyness about him yet Nikki seems to bring a possitive light in his decayed, goulish world. This is what I've read from this art. I havent unlocked him yet so I don't know his official story.

The way you colored this is just absolutly beautiful, the expression on Charon is very cute and your Vaultie's face looks so realistic <3

Funfiction exists, but only in my mind. I'm an artist, not a writer
And sorry for the very late answer

Hey don't worry, someone responded to something I wrote in 2005 the other day. I seriously had no idea what I was even on about.
Oooh you know of fanfiction, link me! Or just keep drawing, either is fine
You played New Vegas?

Windfreak In reply to venuslove [2011-03-28 07:17:43 +0000 UTC]
Well, what I meant is that it's an episode of my own fanfic, but I've never written it down. I'm not sure my English is good enough to start writing fiction in it.
Yeah, surely I played New Vegas, but it didn't inspire me to draw as Fallout 3 did. I drew my character from the game several times, but nothing more.

Dead Money was kinda inspiring but I see what you mean. Fallout 3 was just more....dark? Though a lot of people forget the orignal Fallout games were supposed to be quite funny. Have you ever played 1 and 2?
I think your English is fine by the by, down to the grammar.

I tried playing F2 several times, but never finished it First time, back in the 90s, I quit 'coz my English was too bad to understand everything. Second time was a year or two ago, I enjoyed it very much, but the fight system and random encounters were very annoying, so I abandoned it as well. Still have it on my netbook, might finish one day
Yeah, you're surely right about the humour in the old games.
My English is fine for a usual conversation, but not for writing literature. Fine literature is not just grammar, right? It's also the unique author's style, the use of various stylistic devices, rich vocabulary and so on. I fail in most of those aspects I know, it doesn't stop other people from writing, but how many really good examples of fanfiction do you know? I remember only 2 authors that I really liked. I tried writing down my own fics, but they were never any good from the literary point of view, so I stopped wasting time

Have you never seen some of the fanfics? The english is terrible, I don't think you have anything to worry about in that regard
Well your art is certainly epic anyway, keep up the good work.

Windfreak In reply to venuslove [2011-04-04 13:01:30 +0000 UTC]
That's what I'm talking about. Most of the fanfics (well, at least those I read) were badly written - bad grammar and no style. I know that mine probably would be the same, and I don't want that If I do something, I prefer doing it well.
Yeah, thanks.

I love the lighting, and all the little details you put into this (like the shoelaces, clothing folds, pip-boy, etc..). It all goes together so well to make this a really beautiful drawing.

I'm sure it would be hard in a sense working with shadows and such, but I think it came out pretty well. Charon doesn't give off a lot of emotions to begin with unless fighting, so that little bit you do show on his face is perfect.
Adore his eyes.

Windfreak In reply to Tainted-Petals [2010-02-05 05:56:45 +0000 UTC]
Yes, it was hard. Midway through the painting I even decided to take a photo of me in the similar lighting, to see if I'm doing it right.
And I actually thought that his eyes were a bit too bright. No?

STOP MAKING YOUR ART SO BEAUTIFUL.

This absolutely made my day. Such a lovely moment! It's totally something my vaultie would do, too. I think you did a great job with the emotions! Charon looks surprised and Nikki looks really content and relaxed. Also, I love the way you draw Charon's eyes, they're exactly like in the game!

But the emotions were more pronounced in the sketch, perhaps that's why it seems to me, that now they are not so expressive.

I think the highlighting you did looks quite realistic.
And to me, he looks surprised. I'm sure it's pretty difficult to do emotions on certain ghouls..
