More Colette and Stuff
🕑 Added 2018-04-25 02:42:03 +0000 UTC Here's a thing. I did a quick sketch of my old Fallout OC "Chet" and the newer Colette the other day, just to see how the characters might look side by side. This is obviously a really rough drawing but it still exposes some potential issues I would run into if I wanted to put them in the same story.Now, probably should answer why I would think about putting them in the same story to begin with. Chet's a design I'll never get to use being an OC in an established universe that I'll probably never get a job working on. I could spend a lot of effort making a fan comic but Bethesda is notoriously litigious. Both ideas are ostensibly post apocalypse and share some familiar elements. Both characters would heavily feature prosthesis which would help highlight just how dangerous the world is and how normal it is to see people in the apocalypse putting themselves together.
But their manner of dress and types of characters they are clash a lot. It'd be hard to have them in the same scene too much because the way Chet dresses in full combat garb and Colette dressing in nearly nothing would highlight the absurdity for Colette. It'd be something I would rather address or apply better logic to.
Mind you, Cassiopeia Quinn being barely dressed next to everyone around her is part of the absurd point. I'm just not sure if that would be a thing in the "GUNMETAL" idea.

Honestly the manner of dress doesn't seem like a problem to me. Chet could dress that way as a manner of *preference* rather than necessity. He doesn't HAVE to dress in military garb, he just really LIKES it. The real problem in my eyes is a manner of proportions and detail. You would have to redesign Chet's face in a stylized way that matches Colette. The detail of the decomposition on him lends itself to realistic facial proportions and added detail to show all the damaged bits. Colette's anime-esque facial proportions and tylized detail right next to that clash horribly. You'd have to find a middle ground in the proportions and draw both with those facial proportions to make sure they appear to be in the same world.

Psu there's a very simple fix to your style clash: Expose Chet's midriff
