Color by David Delanty

Well, it's official. Collected all my bobble-heads, completed every quest, experienced every possible ending, and after multiple weeks meandering about the Capital Wasteland (and two-thousand computer crashes later) I accomplished all that needs to be accomplished in Fallout 3. Thank you, thank you, I can finally consider that game done and done, through and through.

The last couple weeks, I've been needing a little bit of a slow down and some "me" time. But it's time I get back into the swing of art, and getting right on the color once more.

Compliments of the *color-me-club came this sweet set of lines. I've been wanting to get my hair style down a lot better than I have been, as well as a more subtle skin tone. I also wanted the light to be more intense in the rim lighting emanating from the rear. But while experimenting with these two elements, I decided to keep everything else in familiar territory with a simple background and a di-cross red/blue scheme overall.

Speaking of experimenting, I also found an awesome new hallucinogenic that blew my mind and took me to far away worlds. Frosted Mini Wheats with HOT MILK. Got a pang of "waaaaant" when seeing it on TV, and after a trip to Vons, now have a new favorite reason to live. Try it. Seriously.

Thank you very much. Never seen the word "gorgeopus" but I'll try and freak out some of my coworkers tomorrow with it.

The sword is fantastic. It really does have a solid metal look.

Outstanding work! The lighting effects are fabulous, particularly on the metal of the blade, belt buckle, and sheath. Also, the plastic-like shine coming off the outfit looks very realistic, and i think your development of the way you colour hair is coming along quickly, as well.

Much appreciation for the very detailed comment. I'm definitely going to try this new approach to doing hair (it's also a lot quicker than the last way, which is always a plus) .
