@rad-roche and @chadfallout76podcast gave me permission to animate her lovely art! This is for the upcoming VoiceAPalooza charity drive for the Alzheimer's Association, there will be a lot amazing voices, new and old, and I am personally hyped to sit down for another radio special!
I had a lot of time to theorize what this special might be about--I'm excited to see if I've hit the mark or strayed far from it ✪ ω ✪
A short breakdown of the process below~
Usually I would share a timelapse with y'all but I forgot to press record :'D
I went back and made some gifs though that hopefully show what I did! It's pretty simple! I took Rad's art and copy-pasted all the parts I wanted to move, then painted under to try and match what would be exposed under that movement. Following that, I had fun adding jolts, smoke, and a little tween! The hardest part for me was nailing down the timing of the gun; that took some tries to make it look natural.

It's Valentine's Day y'all and I thought @rad-roche's sweethearts in her amazing The Unmade Man series deserved their Happily Ever After!! So I drew it goddammit
Now that I’m not going to spoil the surprise, here is @rad-roche (maximum_ overboner over on ao3)’s amazing Fallout 4 noir story, Dead Man Talking!
I am beyond pleased with how this cover turned out 💛 the swirls reminded me of 🚬 smoke
(not the cleanest stencil here, but shhh)
...and then on the inside...bam! A splash of colour.
The endlessly talented rad-roche included several illustrations in Dead Man Talking, so this image became the main title page, and I carried the circuitry over into other elements of the text!
also pictured alongside the circuitry chapter headers: bonus ponytail!Hancock (you’re welcome 😌)
scene breaks, though, were a riff on the Valentine Detective Agency sign
I had SO much fun making this book as a gift for the author!! My favorite part was probably the design phase, or making the endbands (also silver, black, and gold, haha). Definitely going to keep my eyes peeled for a possible sequel 👀
As always, thank you to the @renegadepublishing discord crew for their inspiration and support :)
