Forum:Robert Nesler's Van Buren concepts

As you may already know I've recently spotted some concept art marked as Fallout 3 on Robert Nesler's personal site. I asked GhostAvatar if we should add the art to the Vault and he advised me to try to ask Robert Nesler himself and get confirmation that they was official Van Buren concept art.

Well, I tried and Robert answered. Here's the text of his message:

So I asked him if he would mind if we add these images to wiki with all the proper credit. Hope he wouldn't. :) So where do you think we should add them in addition to Robert's page?

 * I'm pretty sure that shuttle concept refers to Hermes-13. I'll wait for some time. It would be good to have Robert's approval to add images. veryblackraven 23:25, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Rob has replied about adding his images to wiki:

I will add them soon. veryblackraven 10:56, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I would add them to Mesa Verde (which the picture fits the description of best in my opinion), the Prisoner and Vault Dweller and finally I think you are right that it is Hermes-13 respectively. I'd also add them to Van Buren itself and if there is a concept art one, that too. Wonderful find Raven, and incredible name too l;). -- GOTW '''User 15:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't quite understand how Mesa Verde is ivolved here. The shuttle is in Bloomfield Space Center or am I missing something? veryblackraven 22:09, 3 June 2012 (UTC)


 * The place at the top seems to fit the description of Mesa Verde quite well, and certainly the best out of all the places. It was only a suggestion. And yeah, I think the shuttle could got there too :) -- GOTW '''User 12:23, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Now I see your point. You think that Mesa Verde concept could have in some extent been based on this very early Hoover Dam concept (a settlement built on top of something). But I'm not sure we can say so unless we have any confirmation. Mutual influences of different pieces on concept is too hazy thing to be sure of anything. veryblackraven 10:10, 5 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I guess that's a fair thing to say. So you think we should just leave it on his page? -- GOTW '''User 12:21, 5 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I've added the female concept to Prisoner page and the shuttle concept to Hermes-13 page. Languorous.Maiar added Hoover Dam concept to Hoover Dam (Van Buren) page. I've only switched the latter image to hi-res one I converted from PSD sources found in one of the site's folders. veryblackraven 12:45, 5 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Perfect! Great job once again; we're lucky to have you here :) -- GOTW '''User 18:24, 5 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I also added the female concept art to spore plant. 62.87.243.236 14:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
