Nick without his human mask. Will you love him the way he is?

[lucilleandherrobots]

Made a ferret dragon themed and named after Dolph Cooper, @syntheticmelancholy 's swindler oc. Here he is hanging out next to my much larger dragon I got after Valentine's day... guess what his name is.

He's plotting crimes. >:)

He's going to pick your pockets and swindle you. >:)

If the dragon next to him doesn't stop him first, however.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA I'm about to cry from the euphoria that hit me like a storm! Thank you thank you thank you frrrrrriend, you really made this ferret-dragon Dolph toy! My throat made a sound like a little kitten squeaking when I went on tumblr and saw these photos, I don’t know what it was, but I really feel an incredible burst of happiness and tenderness from your work! You are so well done, you are just a master of plush toys! Dolph came out so small, green and fluffy, he has an incredibly sly smile and a playful look of small sparkling eyes! The brown parts of the body remind me of Dolph's favorite brown suit, and those fluffy paws… just look at those tiny paws! I'm in love with this toy! The photo where they stand together with the Dragon-Nick caused me a whirlpool of emotions in my chest, I still can't catch my breath… Thank you! You are an incredible person! You are a wizard!

At the end of book 1 of my fanfic "The Humanity Game" Nick was very badly hurt and Dolph drove him for some time in a rusty pre-war wheelchair. For both of them, it was a real test of trust. For the first time, the mighty synth Valentine took on a defenseless role, with Dolph forced to protect him from the dangers of Boston.

[syntheticmelancholy]

On my story the green paint on Dolph's hair has already begun to fade, and the ginger color is becoming brighter. Unfortunately, in the game itself, I could not convey this change, so I fantasized a little with Photoshop. Do you prefer Dolph with a ponytail or loose hair?

[syntheticmelancholy]

In one of the chapters of my Fallout 4 fanfiction, thugs from another city came after Dolph's head. To hide from them in the Third Rail bar, Dolph put on a green dress and pretended to be a girl dancing with Nick Valentine XD Of course, the guy was drunk and came up with crazy ideas. But I really wanted to draw him in this green dress and with his father's revolver.

[syntheticmelancholy]

...and bonus

When I saw this photo, I immediately knew that it had the strong Nick and Dolph's vibes. That's why I made these little sketches :)

[syntheticmelancholy]

I'm here again and yes… I haven't touched a tablet in a long time. But finally I managed to draw Dolph and Nick, this time locked in the same closet. This is again an illustration for my Fallout 4 fanfiction. I drew the moment when bandits came to The Third Rail looking for Dolph, and Dolph was drunk as hell, so he couldn’t think of anything better than climbing into the closet. Nick went to look for him and was also pulled into the closet. There is very little space in the closet, so they had to stand very close to each other :3 If Nick Valentine's lack of ears bothers you, don't be alarmed - in my fanfiction, he lost his entire polymer shell, except for his face.

Hey this is random but for the Christmas art event thing I accidentally did a dupe claim which didn't get posted so here you go months later lmao.

Srsly tho love ur OCS design.

Wow! It was unexpected but amazing! Sorry, I noticed your art too late, because Tumblr blocked me for a few days :( But I'm happy to see such a great and atmospheric art right now. I really like it!

I'm glad that you decided to please me with such a wonderful gift. It's so nice of you! I especially like Dolph's face. He looks so sly and happy :)

Thank you for your work, your support are very dear to me :3

[syntheticmelancholy]

Dolph is a tricky fellow, so you need to hold him tighter... I have been making this little art for a week, because I was drowning in work and everyday problems, besides, Tumblr decided to block all chats and tags for me for several days. Fortunately, I managed to escape for a while to you!

[syntheticmelancholy]

The real rat charm of a swindler! Oh, those bags under his eyes, wow, that sexy gap in his teeth! xD You have only two choices - run away or fall in love /laughs/

[syntheticmelancholy]

Some of today's weird screenshots with Nick and Dolph… I really like Dolph's cute and sly face here. The second screenshot where Dolph turns to Nick is my favorite now. Don't ask what they were doing in that prison bathroom.......:3 The ladder screenshot has a Disney vibes.

[syntheticmelancholy]

I've wanted to do this thing for a long time. Thanks to Cparrisart for the original template! I'm not sure that I translated everything correctly, but I hope there will be no mistakes:) Dolph Cooper is the main character of my Fallout 4 fic. A swindler who fell in love with detective Nick Valentine

[syntheticmelancholy]

I made a cover for the second part of my fic about Dolph Cooper and Nick Valentine. I love how they look side by side!

When I finish my dilogy, I plan to make an English translation and put it on Ao3 or other English-language fanfiction resources (maybe this will happen sooner). So far, there is only a Russian-language version on Ficbook: Book 1: https://ficbook.net/readfic/11228971 Book 2: https://ficbook.net/readfic/11923999

Short description: Dolph Cooper hates robots. Dolph Cooper has come to Diamond City to cash in on the locals while hiding from a mysterious shadow that follows him around. Dolph is a swindler, a weakling and a deceiver, but fate mocks him, pushing him against the most opposite creature that can only be found in the Commonwealth. Nick Valentine is a synth. Nick Valentine is a detective who helps all those who suffer in the eternal pursuit of the shadow. Nick is a life-torn kind heart and steely principles of Justice.

Скидывать друг другу шутки, а потом перерисовывать это под персонажей?

Да.

[syntheticmelancholy]

Это просто и-де-аль-но! Спасибо ещё раз, Зефир, твой стиль крайне очарователен и мил :) It's just i-de-al! Thanks again Zeffir, your style is extremely charming and cute :)

My crooked translation of the meme into English: Top caption: DIRECTOR OF EVERYTHING Bottom left: How to improve the quality of life in a short time? Bottom right: secrets, insiders, author's practices. This meme is perfect for Dolph, because he looks like a ferret, and he's also a swindler :)

...And then Dolph sorted cases out in the Agency for the entire evening by lockers, sweeping the floors and sighed sadly.

[secretgiantpandaslime]

Just a fan art for my favorite artist. I'll just leave this here if you don't mind?

[syntheticmelancholy]

OMG :0 How much I love this charming art! Thank you very much for your support. I love the details of this drawing… You didn't even forget the little heart on Dolph's chest... I also recognized the romantic spy outfit XD Thanks again friend, I'm so happy!:_)

[lucilleandherrobots]

I love how we as a fandom have seemingly collectively agreed Nick wears suspenders under his coat. I think that's very cool of us.

[syntheticmelancholy]

I think suspenders are very hot, and Nick Valentine is even hotter in suspenders.

But I have another version of what this steel daddy wears under his trench coat…

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THIS POLICE HARNESS ?!

What would Dolph Cooper say? He wouldn't say anything, he was speechless and had a lot of nosebleeds.
