OMG I loved all, and I mean ALL of your Fallout Art work. It's so inspiring! I have logged hundreds upon hundreds of hours into Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 2. TY for your awesomeness!

Brenze In reply to MyEmail [2014-09-10 20:16:53 +0000 UTC]

probably not. I have little time outside of my paying job to do much personal work. It has crossed my mind though. Oh and sometimes I do a little chibi version for happy birthday notes on Facebook like this one...

um am sorry to ask but did you do the enclave armor in fallout 2 & what gives you the ideas to make vault boy?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Brenze In reply to die-by-my-hand-115 [2014-09-10 20:21:07 +0000 UTC]

I did not design or build the enclave armor from Fallout 2 and I really don't remember who did.

As for the Vault Boys I get a description of the perk and what it does from the designers. From there I use my own humor to just come up with something funny to describe the perk. On FNV Josh sawyer would sometimes want to see something specific so he would occasionally describe the whole idea to me.

Brenze In reply to GoldGecko [2013-03-18 16:22:22 +0000 UTC]

Though I've done more Vault boy's than any other artist, I can't say that I did one for the Fallout Show. I don't know what the Fallout Show is.

GoldGecko In reply to Brenze [2013-03-18 17:33:49 +0000 UTC]

I am sorry. I must had some major blankout in my head or something. I meant 'games'.
Again sorry.

Brenze In reply to GoldGecko [2013-03-19 16:31:00 +0000 UTC]

No worries :) (Smile) Well, yes. I did in fact draw Vault Boys for three of the Fallout games; Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and Fallout New Vegas.

So, considering there's no NDAs and pesky similar stuff for Project Eternity, any chance we might see some sketches/art here? :P (Lick) Or will you guys be saving it all for the Kickstarter rewards?
