Art and Things

Feeling a bit nostalgic ⚓️

At first all the tattoos were for fun, but after joining the Brotherhood and leaving Rivet City, he makes sure to remember the story behind each tattoo. Even if there was no specific reason, like him and Cutler were drunk and got whatever was offered, he remembers every single one.

Here’s Danse’s back tattoos!! Caught him mid-change and mid-thought.

Quick Repairs 🔧

What if Danse was covered with tattoos under that uniform?

Spent a little while yesterday coming up with some designs, most of the items are based on versions from fallout 3 like the lantern, brahmin, and switchblade. This was really fun!! I have an idea for his back too 👀

Bonus - cleaned up version

Haylen joins Danse and Diane on a trip to the Prydwen to drop off all the technology they’ve found. Once duties are done, they head down to the recreation area on the lower floor of the ship.

Haylen asks Diane about the scar by her chin and she recalls her first few days out of the Vault, heading to Concord, meeting Preston and fighting off a deathclaw with an old suit of power armor. Danse is hearing this for the first time, and is pretty impressed!

They tell more stories, laugh, and plan to meet up there again soon,

but,

one trip to the Institute changed those plans.

I was absolutely gutted getting to Blind Betrayal my first time, and so surprised by Haylen. I wish there was a dialogue option to say, “I PROMISE YOU, HE STAYS ALIVE, JUST TELL ME WHERE HE IS!!”

Background is a screenshot from the game lol

Your Desire 🌟

Back at the Bunker 🦅

They're laughing about something funny that happened at Nuka-World, you had to be there.

After that one with the Diane drawing on the wall I thought about Danse asking her to draw at the bunker for him, and here we are! Using his X 01 helmet for extra light lol

Work is incredibly slow right now so I got to draw all day plus wanted to draw him smiling to make up for having him run in my last drawing lolol

Bonus - WIP shot

Blind Betrayal ⚙️

"If you really feel that way, why did you run in the first place?"

"The moment I learned the truth, I knew my life was in danger."

Did you know that if you run towards Listening Point Bravo from the Sentinel Site, the Prydwen is in your line of sight for a large portion of the trip as soon as you get out of the Glowing Sea?

A Private Show 🍷

Gale and Eve were relaxing one day when she began to question him about how many sonnets he claimed to know by heart. He responds by spending the next while performing as many as he could remember before the wine got too strong.

Late Night Sketches ✏️

Danse goes to wake Diane one morning, wondering if he’d find her already awake or just getting to sleep after staying up all night. He had grown used to her random sleeping schedule, actually found some comfort in meeting someone who had similar issues with getting a full nights rest.

Diane will often get up and move to another room if he’s trying to get some sleep, or if they’re both awake, will just head out for their current mission.

Turns out, she found that a few sticks from the fire had become some decent drawing charcoal so she stayed up all night sketching on the walls. When Danse eventually finds her in the other room, he spends a good long time looking at her work, letting her rest a little bit more 💕

Bonus - close up

"Tell me you're okay."

Diane fumbles to turn on the light and sees Danse over her, holding back the collapsed roof that was above their heads moments ago. They were cornered in a parking garage when a chain of exploding cars put them in a new situation.

Got inspired by @pee-wee-tommy-blog and their superb writing skills for the idea behind this piece, but wanted to practice drawing power armor as well I love the X-01 set

Bonus - early wip

The Wizard ✨

Gale at home in Waterdeep searching for artifacts to buy a little more time, not long before the events that lead to meeting Tav

Inspired by Johannes Vermeer’s “The Geographer”

I had done a version of this over two years ago but it desperately needed a redraw lolol

Bonus - close up

My Rifle, My Pony (Ponies?), and Me 🐎

Letting Danse live out his cowboy dreams!! Got inspired by @wasteland-wrecker to give drawing a fallout horse a try

Used brahmin as a reference for this beauty, it was really fun!! I imagine one horse face is very serious and the other very sassy lol

Bonus - close up

Overslept

Eve - I think we missed morning again.

Gale - Just a few more moments.

For honor! For glory! ⚔️

Paladin Danse and Ranger Diane are down in the sewers of Baldur's Gate, searching for a potential ally, when they are ambushed.

More FO4 x BG3!! Didn't sleep hardly at all so I figured I'd fix a few things on this piece, plus I'm having a lot of fun, so why not?

Godless Heathens

Continuing my FO4 x BG3 pieces with more Danse as an Oath of Vengeance Paladin in Baldur's Gate 3! I was redoing an old sketch and now I'm in a mood lolol

Every time he yells that in FO4 I would always see this in my head lol

Bonus with eye glow -

Another day, another brawl 🥊

Back with more Rivet City Danse, or Rowdy Danse if you will, because I can!!

Didn’t really have a story for this one, mainly a lighting exercise lol

Plus here’s a little WIP shot

A Short Rest
