Wild Wasteland (Patreon)

After the nuclear apocalypse, the Mojave wasteland is crawling with all kinds of unusual critters. Although, I suspect Crew of having ulterior motives when it comes to "studying" some of them.

Okay, so this might require some context: First and foremost this is a birthday gift for Antidev, featuring his sona Crew. So happy birthday to you! :3

He and I started talking about the game Fallout: New Vegas, which came at the tail end of me finishing a playthrough of Fallout 1 and 2 and revisiting New Vegas, which I had originally played years ago but never finished. It was a lot of fun sharing experiences, ideas for character builds and me now having more insight into the first two games, I could appreciate some of the elements of New Vegas a lot more.

I recently finished the game after clocking in over 160 hours and with Crew's birthday coming up, I thought it would make for a good basis for a picture idea. The Fallout games feature a mutated species called Deathclaws, which are usually very vicious and tough enemies, but their visual design - especially in Fallout 4, which I used as the basis here - has it's..."perks". ;3

The character depicted here is Goris, my favorite from Fallout 2, who is a friendly & highly intelligent Deathclaw, who you can recruit as a companion. You can even get him as a, sadly unvoiced, companion for New Vegas, using a mod: LINK.

So all in all it's an amalgamation of various ideas from different games and I really enjoyed working on this. :3

Enjoy!
