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.
