Not my favorite piece, but interesting nonetheless. It does look a little too nice for the Fallout setting.

nice to see something less untouched by the wasteland. But I guess houses like that are a rarity (kept for the really rich people >,>)

Hi bikkebakke,
I appreciate the occasional untouched location as well. I think, with a great deal of destruction and chaos, these special untouched and quiet moments become a refreshing accent to the world. But that's just me . ---------------------------------------

Or the well armed and well trained.

Yeah not everywhere has to be destroyed, but not sure I like the art style itself (oil painting?)

Cool nonetheless, give us more!

Your question is a great complement to me. It's not an oil painting, However it was an intentional approach. I created it much like I would create an image in oils but used Photoshop instead. ---------------------------------------

Very impressive then. I'm not an artsy kinda guy, but still, cool.

I have to aggree with Jeff and Bikkebakke about the cool feeling of finding a mostly untouched place (still you can see some damage over the house). Specially the detail of the smoke rising from the chimney gives the scene some special feeling: The smoke is there, so the house is inhabited, but you still don't know by who or what...
Interesting stuff.

I actually like this one myself. It does look like a painting and so it reminds me of perhaps someone looking at an old dilapidated house (or perhaps one the person fixed up) and is imagining it as would've looked like before the destruction and with a homemade paint brush and some brahmin hide, painted a wonderful artistic piece.

Just my thoughts
I told the Overseer of Vault 13 I'd give everything to save everyone, and so I did, I saved them all. Since then I've felt loneliness.

Its really amazing how some types of old house can survive, even with minimal care and maintenance. Part of the reason is because of the building materials used and how sturdy they were build to be originally. Of course it certainly doesn't hurt when your house is far enough away form a city that the nuclear war leaves you (relatively) unaffected initially.

It automatically reminds me the movie "The Book ok Eli" where are a house lonely in the desert with an old couple in it wich by the way reminds me the Cartoon Network animatinon "Courage the Cowardly Dog". obviously "The Book of Eli" is inspired on Fallout game, just to say the least. I like the technique used on photoshop mimicking oil painting, it gives a restoration attempt.

Exactly what I was thinking. Loved that movie BTW.

This looks rather southern, so as for destruction and such no where in fallout lore has the South been mentioned. Maybe its a safe haven of acceptance and tolerance?
