Armor[]
Originally, I was asked to create some armor (or "armour" as we spell here in NZ) illustrations for the Fallout d20 Guide. I saw this as a great opportunity to add in a 1950's feel to my illustrations by creating some tongue-in-cheek advertisements that would have been published before the Great War in 2077 (in the Fallout timeline). The fonts used are the same as those used in the introduction sequences of the Fallout 2 video game.
