Fallout vault symbol - 21 Apr 2024

Fallout, eh?

Yes, I know - a bit of a bandwagon jump. However, let’s say the recent series inspired me. I like the Vault-Tec symbol, so decided to paint it in blue/yellow with some blood and claws and general damage. The design is simple enough:

Just the basic Vault-Tec symbol - without the text! see previous post about MC - but with claw marks across the top.

Final result

For some bizarre reason, most of this went well apart from the central blue part which would just not paint. I was getting frustrated with it , so applied the paint very thick there. I suspect I was just being impatient.

Anyway, it came out OK, I’m reasonably pleased. Getting the damage (claws, blood, dirt) right is maybe a bit more challenging. Also the physical depth of the claw marks (cut into the gesso using a knife) does not come across particularly well. Decent, but not spectacular.
