Some more ref sheets for some more of my FNV OCs, this time featuring my Follower twins Erika and Ellery

Some facts about them:

-Erika is the older twin by twelve minutes, and the taller one, too. Their parents thought they were both going to be girls, which is why Ellery has a more unisex name, as the names theirs parents picked were Erika and Ella. They're also fraternal twins.

-They both look like clones of their father, Anthony, but in terms of body type, Ellery takes after their father (built like a brick shithouse) and Erika takes after their mother (tall, slender)

-They both have central heterochromia, which they also get from their father (the Martin genes are very strong)

-Both are far sighted, and Erika has tetrachromacy, as does her mother

-They are both Psykers. They can feel the emotions of others, but only when they're touching the person. This goes for Erika and Ellery as well-when they were children they were very close and if they both focus, they can sort of pick up the basic gist of what the other is thinking, but it requires a lot of effort and leaves both exhausted. Erika sometimes wishes she could do things like blow up stuff with her mind though

-Both are animal lovers and skilled equestrians, and after they both became fugitives (through no fault of their own) on the run from the NCR, they may have stolen a couple of horses from them 👀

-They're both autistic: Ellery is more shy than Erika however, and has a poor filter, but both are good at their jobs and are generally liked...even though Ellery can come across as an asshole during initial impressions, and Erika doesn't exactly have an indoor voice at times

-Ellery is missing his left leg to just above the knee: his prosthetic and many more after the first one was made for him by his future father in law. It took him nearly three months to learn to walk again (this was mostly due to complications in the recovery process), and another two years to walk for long periods of time unassisted. The amputation occurred as a result of an injury he got when he was trapped at the Sierra Madre, along with his partner Francisco.

-Ellery also doesn't feel pain like most people do, having once fallen off a roof he was repairing and breaking his arm, finding it more inconvenient than painful. He also almost suffered a ruptured appendix due to him dismissing initial symptoms

-Ellery went missing for about a month along with Francisco, and this was the longest he and Erika went without seeing each other. It was horrible for both of them.

-They're also descended from one of my 76ers (Andrew Bieri, who is unfortunately a bastard and the reason for the Enclave flourishing in WV), and one of their very distant cousins (from a part of the Martins that split in the 2150s after a land dispute) is a Legionary who was killed during the Second Battle for Hoover Dam

Here is Andrew by the way

I don't have a recent picture of Dominik that I've drawn, so just imagine a bigger and more stupid version of Andrew but on steroids, as Dominik is 6'5" and very much a stereotypical idea of a Legionary

Finally finished my first character sheet for my new AU (CTAU), featuring a pre game beginning Matt as Courier Six

There's a lot here, so I will put the majority of it under a cut, including a brief bio and random information about Matt, as well as some other images and whatnot

TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of violence, SA (so general in universe nastiness, you have been warned)

With and without the leather vest

His tattoos and pins

post game Matt

A general idea of how Matt got his scars/when he got his tattoos

BASIC BIO

-Born in Shady Sands in an NCR run orphanage, to a teenager mother named Hannah, who ran away from her Raider boyfriend. She left Matt behind when he was a year old, unable to even look at him any longer. She loved him deeply, but he was a reminder of one the worst times of her life.

-Matt takes mostly after his mother, including his talent for music.

-Matt runs away from the orphanage at 10 with other kids, and they set up shop in a warehouse near a scrapyard, selling scrap and repaired items. One of them repaired a Sentry bot to guide the place, and they were all heavily armed.

-He makes his way to New Reno at age 16, having spent the previous year travelling and busking after repairing an old guitar and teaching himself how to play it.

-He is homeless here for three years before someone offers him a job...at a brothel. He takes it, willing at that point to do anything to get off the streets, but he's treated like utter shit due to his sexuality.

-He meets his first long term boyfriend, Luke, during this time, and leaves the brothel to do his own thing, becoming an escort. His boyfriend doesn't care at first, but over the next few years he falls into a chem habit to deal with the jealousy, and Matt ends up leaving the business for him when he can afford to. They decide to move to the Mojave to start anew, as Luke grew up there and wants to return.

-Sadly, Luke was in the depths of chem addiction by this point, and in a horrible twist of irony, tried to kill Matt for refusing to become a prostitute again to make money for his chem habit. He tried to sexually assault and kill Matt, failing on both counts, and Matt fled. He never saw him again (Luke later died of an overdose while Matt recovered at the Fort).

-Matt managed to find help at the Mormon Fort, and this was how he met the Followers (and in turn, Arcade, who he would later enter a serious relationship with) as well as Francisco, Ellery and Erika (my Follower OCs), and they would become his closest friends.

-He becomes a courier in order to pay off his medical bills, and finds he enjoys the work, only for Benny to shoot him three years later in order to steal the Platinum Chip he was supposed to deliver to the Strip.

MISC

-He goes to the Big MT and through the Divide (in that order) in the space of five weeks, and is also dealing with amnesia, forgetting all about his friends and the Followers until he enters the Divide.

-He got his spine and brain back in the Big MT, but his heart was never returned due to a birth defect found while he was being 'examined' that never caused issues, but because of the defect, it was marked for disposal and his heart is now entirely artificial. He tries not to think about it.

-He is a skilled musician, being both a good singer and guitar player. When he moved to Freeside, he played at the Atomic Wrangler to make money, and will still do shows from time to time until he is forced to leave the Mojave due to end game circumstances.

-His mother wrote a letter for Matt, to explain why she had left him behind and to be given to him when he turned 18. Matt found it when going through the orphanage filing cabinet, and part of the reason he ran away at age 10 was to find her. He never did.

-He once took a tumbleweed to the face. It had thorns in it. He also fell in a patch of cholla.

-He's been wary of dogs since encountering the ones at the Big MT, especially bigger dogs.

-He thinks the Kings are cool as hell, being a bit of a former greaser himself, and hangs around with the when he has time that isn't being spent making deliveries or hanging out with his other friends. He also plays music at their place from time to time.

-He's a fairly tall guy, but very passive. When his boyfriend tried to kill him, he didn't fight back at first, as he was worried as coming across as the aggressor.

-He loves Sunset Sarsparilla, which is why he got it tattooed on himself. He also had it done as a tramp stamp because he wanted it to look like it was pouring into his butt. He also has a somewhat childish sense of humor in general, but it's endearing.

-he likes to give his friends gifts, and picks up stuff for them on his travels.

-He and my Lone Wanderer, Olivia, met through their courier work with the Mojave Express, and because a lot of their routes intersected, they would often travel together, and have a brother/sister relationship. Neither of them ever had siblings and both understand the loneliness that comes from not having that family connection.

-His eye injury came about as a result of a violent confrontation with a rogue NCR squad. He lost vision in that eye, and later had it removed completely when it started to degrade. Don't ask him how it happened, as he's only told his closest friends and that was hard enough. This incident also triggered a domino effect that left to the NCR leaving the Mojave.

-He likes origami, having once found an origami book during his travels, and will make paper cranes the most out of anything that can be folded

-He is a distant relative of Beckett from FO76 (although this only came about when I was drawing Matt once and realized he looked kind of like him 😅)

-Despite it all, Matt is a very cheerful person, and more often than not tends to have a smile on his face. He also did enjoy being a Courier, so when he does eventually settle on the East Coast, he picks up mail delivery as a job again for the Minutemen

WIP

I have spent 30+ on this already because I've never drawn power armour before, and I'm nowhere near done (this is a full body piece but I'm not posting the full thing just yet, not until im satisified with it)

Wyatt has never worn Power Armour before this point, and also he is 51 years old-that man is gonna feel it the morning after 😅

This is meant to be Arcade's PA, and Wyatt is wearing it because he's the only one that fits into it, and he was wearing it because Arcade and others had been sort of arrested and needed to be rescued 😬

Also Wyatt has a strong dislike of the NCR for reasons too numerous to post here (for now)

[geaibleu89]

Posting this here too because I'm excited about this piece-I'll be drawing over it with something I've never drawn before and he's just like, making this face the whole time 😅

Like father, like son 😆

[crossposted to Bluesky]

[geaibleu89]

Forgot to post this after I finished it-this was for Michael's birthday on the 12th, but shit has been fucking up lately so it wasn't my top priority to post it 😅

Michael has gone through some shit, but he'll be alright in the end

[geaibleu89]

Michael's birthday today, a little WIP of something I'm doing with him in it-he looks vastly different without his blue hair

This is meant to be the first birthday he had alone, after fleeing from someone he thought was a friend and cared about him, but was just being abused by him in the name of furthering their own goals, and while mentally resilient, even this knocked Michael back for a few months

(in his timeline, this is set in Feb 2104-in my story, this is just after the supermutants infiltrate Fort Atlas but before the Enclave stuff...which later comes to play a very large part in why he leaves the 'friend' behind

He'll be alright in the end, though

[geaibleu89]

Ellery getting his drunken ass dragged off the Strip because he is insanely good at Caravan, a sore winner (he's actually a pretty graceful loser), and was about to get his ass beat for being an ass about winning, but Matt just scooped him up and was all 'peace out 😅' before skedaddling with him like something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon 😆

It also helped that Ellery had so much tequila and whiskey that he literally couldn't walk, and therefore, couldn't fight Matt, and Matt is probably one of the few people he can tolerate being touched by-he'd drank so much because he'd been blowing off steam due to the upcoming Second Battle 🤷

Matt is also pretty damn strong and probably one of the few people that can actually carry him, given Ellery's built like a brick shithouse 😆

Bonus: one of the first photos taken of them together, not long before they both left the NCR; Ellery due to finishing his ten year stint, and Matt for medical reasons-his mental health took a nosedive after the Second Battle and it took a while for him to actually get discharged on this basis because in my canon, the NCR won, but barely had a foothold in the area and wanted all hands on deck

They also tried to persuade Ellery to stay beyond his ten years, but he was left with a lifelong injury due to the Second Battle, was sick and tired of the NCR's shit, and wanted out the moment his time was up

[geaibleu89]

A WIP of my chapter pages for my fanfic about my Courier Six, Cadmus (story unpolished for now, nowhere near ready to share it)

Despite the title, he never goes to the Sierra Madre (in this timeline, at least)

I might change this in the future, but I like the basic concept-this was inspired by that broken doll challenge that does the rounds in art communities from time to time

This isn't a happy chapter, or generally a happy story until much later in the post game canon arc, but there are happy moments and lessons and hard truths to be learned along the way

Also I'll be adding a trigger warning for the implied drug use there

[geaibleu89]

Feels like I wasted too much of my time on this to not end up posting it (30+ hours 😭), so here is a redesign of my Sole Survivor/Raider/Overboss OC, Daniel Garcia (you can really tell where I started to give up on this one, it was a real drag near the end)

He's a giant piece of shit and the opposite side of the coin for my OC and other Sole Survivor, Charlie (they meet in my Legion AU), and while Charlie does get physically and mentally messed up by being thrust into an almost alien future, Daniel gives into the simmering madness that Charlie fights, taking over the Institute and using it to rebuild the Commonwealth for the Raiders of Nuka World

Mild trigger warning for implied drug use-felt appropriate for the world's biggest piece of shit to be smoking shit 😆

[geaibleu89]

Some AU stuff, featuring my OCs-Francisco (Cadmus in canon, this AU is if the Legion never kidnapped him), Wyatt (Francisco's father) and Eliana, Francisco's cousin/older sister figure

Fun fact: Wyatt is a direct descendant of the Chosen One/Vault Dweller, whose descendants ended up in New Caanan, so he also has a link to the New Caananites. During the Legion attack on his nomadic group, Wyatt was brutally attacked by Joshua Graham after refusing to relinquish Eliana and Francisco to the Legion marauders-in canon, he dies along with his wife, but in this AU, he survives and flees with many survivors, ending up in the Boneyard, and has a desire for revenge for what was done to him and what was taken from him

Bonus: a small and very suspicious four year old Francisco with his cousin

Also: Eliana and Francisco have a mutation that make their eyes glow, and the mutation gave their group the name 'Nightstalker Eyes'-members can either have glowing amber, blue or mixed eyes (Eliana and Francisco's mothers were sisters with heterochromia)

[geaibleu89]

Little reference for my alt canon Sole Survivor, Charlie-he needed a new one as his design has changed a little bit in the past year since I last made his reference (and I might add to this one over time)

EDIT: came back to edit this because the formatting is all fucked up, that's what I get for posting right before bed I guess 😅

Some info about him under the cut, as well as a picture of him as he travelled through Vault 111, trigger warning for blood and injury

I can't imagine being thawed out like a frozen tv dinner does great things to the human body-Charlie was temporarily deaf and blind when he began to thaw out, and ended up staying in the Vault for two days before getting those senses back, albeit not to a hundred percent until nearly a month later. He remains deaf in his left ear.

🔹Canon Nate was his cousin, who he grew up with from 12 onwards in Boston, due to unlivable circumstances regarding his parents (Nate's father and Charlie's father are brothers).

🔹Charlie is a Psyker, and a particularly sensitive one-as a man of science, however, he loathes this side of himself. His parents also thought he was possessed as he often saw things no one else could as a result of these abilities, and from the age of 5 to 11, Charlie underwent many exorcisms. He was also born with a caul over his face, a sign of good luck in some cultures, but for Charlie? Not so much.

🔹Served in Anchorage-he saw some frontline action, but was snatched up for the robotics division. This assignment last two years, until a horrific accident almost killed him, gave him second and third degree burns that covered much of his body, PTSD and a hefty settlement from the military for reasons I'll elaborate on in the future.

🔹Minuteman General, former Brotherhood of Steel scribe. The BoS essentially kidnapped him after discovering his prewar work in robotics, wanting him to work on Liberty Prime. They threatened his friends to make him stay, and he defected after the events of 'Blind Betrayal'. He is very pro synth and generally accepting of any life forms with sentience.

🔹His birth name is Charles, and he was born in Morgantown, WV, but he hates being called Charles-just call him Charlie.

🔹Charlie is 6'4", weighs 189lbs and has green eyes and blonde hair. He has extensive scarring covering most of his left side. He is also left handed, so losing the arm wasn't as great a loss to him as people think it was. He's a big guy but abhors violence, and uses his bulk as a last resort-he once used it to intimidate Maxson, and ending up punching him in the face during the events of 'Blind Betrayal', who, so far, is the only person to push him this far.

🔹He's also on the spectrum, and waking up in the Wasteland really messed him up for a long time, physically and mentally.

🔹Lost his arm in Far Harbor while undercover with the Children of Atom, and as it occurred while leaning up DiMA's mess, he blames him for this. He designed and partially made his own prosthetic, assisted by Faraday.

🔹Counts MacCready, Curie and Nick among his friend. Deacon is basically his dad friend, and Nick is his one and only-he confessed to him he liked him while they were in Far Harbor, and they've been together ever since. Nick likes to make jokes about having his own personal mechanic, as Charlie does a lot of his repairs, staring not long after they met.

🔹Technically a distant relative of Arcade Gannon, via his brother Michael (a 76er who was briefly forced into the Enclave to endure medical experimentation at the hands of my other 76er, Andrew). Arcade and Charlie meet way down the line in both canon and two of my AUs.

🔹There is a nearly 17 year age gap between Charlie and Michael, who was an accidental pregnancy, and taken away almost immediately after his birth. Michael was put in foster care, and Charlie was tracked down by the system in 2076. They work on having Charlie adopting Michael, only for Michael to be selected for Vault 76 before Charlie could officially gain custody of him, and they never saw each other again, and the the bombs dropped. Two of my AUs feature them either ending up in Vault 111 or Vault 76 together.

It was my birthday today, so I drew the one OC that shares a birth month (but not a birthday) with me-Charlie, my first Fallout OC and canon divergent Sole Survivor

He looks like he's not vibing, but he's actually just overwhelmed because he hasn't had a birthday party since he was five, and his new friends knew him well enough to throw a small gathering to not push him away from the enjoyment of it, and make him Nuka Quantum pie, given his obsession with all things Nuka Cola (and robots-the gifts contain new tools for him to work on the various robots that come his way)

He's the type of guy that many would describe as a gentle giant, and probably the most kind out of all my OCs, and I really should draw him more

(this is the brush I used for the paper chain, I only modified it by drawing the lines over it because there was no way I was drawing a whole ass paper chain)

[geaibleu89]

Did a little something for my good friend @missdsantiart 's birthday today, and drew her patrol ranger OC, Orson Redd-this is the second time I've draw him and I think he's pretty great

[geaibleu89]

Enclave Arcade I drew for a mini AU I started posting on my Bluesky

TLDR: the Enclave came across the Big MT not long before Arcade was born and he grew up there and became an odd, overblown caricature of his canon self in an attempt to hide the immense guilt of growing up in a fascist cult

'but why didn't he just run away?'

Remember those coils in the Courier's head? The ones that would zap you unconscious if you crossed the barrier? Yeah, he has those in his head too, and they also cause that weird pacifist effect if he even thinks of violence against himself 😬

[geaibleu89]

this was supposed to be a quick warm up ;-;

[geaibleu89]

Mocked up what I think an NCR ID might look like for my NCR medic, Ellery (I've never been military so I don't know how accurate this would be)

(NCR logo taken from Fallout Wiki)

also drew a full body reference for him while I was at it

He's not really much of a smiler around the time this was taken-this is a few months post Second Battle for Hoover Dam (with a NCR/Independent win), and he was dealing with PTSD as well as finding out the mysterious Courier he once helped was an ex-Legionary wanted by the NCR (my ex-Legion oc, Cadmus), all of which severely messed his head and started opening him up the idea that the world is not as black and white as he thought...which he didn't like

[geaibleu89]

Also from the same thing-some line art featuring my Courier/former legionary, Cadmus, and Joshua Graham

To say they dislike each other would be an understatement

For context, I write Joshua as being more unhinged in my canon, hidden under a very thin veneer of religious zealotry-even the sanest of people don't remain 'normal' after 30 odd years of committing the most vile of crimes, and IMO, he's still the Legate under all that
