PROJECT: Fallout graphic novel

Post » Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:58 pm

Hey fellow Wastelanders, tonight while playing through my third run (first run since 1998) I came across the desire to pay homage to this great game by creating a fan made graphic novel of the game's canonical storyline.

I have a long history of drawing and creating characters/graphic novels since my early childhood. Don't worry, I am talented and will not present stick figures in Vault 13 suits.

Being a veteran of this franchise I plan to make it as canonical as possible using my own personal experience (albeit very rusty since '98) and the memoirs of the Vault Dweller found in the Fallout 2 manual.

In order to craft an in depth story there are some liberties I will have to take on my own obviously... like what particularly happened in Junktown between Gizmo and Killian (as this is not fully explained in the memoirs) and giving the Vault Dweller a name and face, etc. even though I have an idea of what exactly I'll be doing in such parts.

I don't plan on churning this one out next week, its a project that I take pride in and even more important - devoted time. During the course of this project I will present my concept renditions of familiar characters and will ask for feedback and criticism.

Also any little help, opinions, tidbits or facts of Fallout's canon-city shared here would be greatly appreciated as this is the main reason I created the thread was for help/support from fellow fans.

I will be updating this thread accordingly... and present some conceptional art next weekend.

Cheers.

I'm filled with excitement and longing already, I really can't wait to see where you take this. I've gathered that your basing the Graphic Novel off the Original Fallout. I was wondering if you ever thought of making the Novels into like a trilogy involving Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout 3/Vault Dweller, Chosen One, and Lone Wanderer? I know that's getting a little ahead of ourselves, but I was just wondering if you even considered that a possibility. Other than that, I don't think I can add much more unto your first update.

Depending on how reception is along the line with this project... making graphic novels based on the rest of the canon will be considered.

That sounds awesome, and i'll be waiting for those concepts and renditions, as well as the final product obviously. Good Luck, can't wait to see what you come up with.
