Wasteland Traveler [super secret not so secret project that is somewhat VG related]
WastelandTraveler | 2:41 PM on 10.10.2008 8 comments




Ok, so some dtoiders know that I am working on a little something as a project for myself to say the least. This little something is a graphic novel inspired off of the fallout universe, it will be done in pen & ink only, only color that may be included will be colors that are used to emphasizes something.

So anyways, I know some of you have seen this and some have not, but I figured I would just give you guys a little tease of some concept pieces that I have been working on. But the real reason why I am here is to ask you all if you are interested in seeing certain things in this story ;), this is basically a chance for you to add your own little Easter Eggs to this graphic novel. Out of those ideas given I will not say which ones are accepted or not, you'll just have to find it out when I show you the final product (in about a year or two lol).

So...got anything you'd like to see? Any Ideas? Well to help you out a little here's some background on the story.

Background to Wasteland Traveler
The story takes place many years after the great war from the fallout universe. The year is unknown to the main character at the moment.. He has spent his entire life in a fallout shelter, not a vault tech vault, but a privately built shelter that his father constructed with private contractors. Now one day the traveler wakes up and his parents are gone. He has no idea where they are, they are not in the bunker, hes confused, scared, and lost. So he does the only thing he can do.. he gears up for the outside and does something his parents told him to never do, to open the shelter entrance.

So now his adventure, and his nightmare begins.. right off the bat from leaving the bunker he sees his father riddled by bullets. His mother.. not to be seen, no sign of her body, no blood trails leading out of the bunker. The Traveler at this point is so confused with his emotions and thought process that he just begins to walk out of the cave from which his bunker was located, and he then begins his journey into the wasteland.

---- Now that's all just a rough explanation but you get the idea ;). So take a look at the concept pieces, I still have many more to create. Basically I'm drawing out everything that the traveler is going to come across when he leaves his bunker. This should help you creative people to think of some things you'd like to see ;).. make it silly if you want but try to keep it in the dark humor of the fallout style ;D.

Concept Artwork
Below is a link to the concept artwork that I have up on display so far! Enjoy! http://wastelandtraveler.com/concept/

Website
The main website is going to be tied with two things, one being my portfolio and personal bio, and then it will have a side channel for the actual graphic novel itself. It's still under construction so all I have now is a splash page :P http://www.wastelandtraveler.com
