Landscape art from the 'Fallout 3' video game. The work is based upon a somewhat convoluted setting, a 'what if' scenario - Where the future envisioned by America in the 1960's is a reality, a future which is then ravaged by an apocalyptic and all encompassing nuclear war. It was a unique and ambitious setup proposed by the makers of 'The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion', a game renowned for its huge world and open ended nature. The main concern was that this world was one of vivid colour and fantasy, whereas Fallout was in some senses the opposite. The skilled and above all confident creative minds behind the games came up with a - though decrepit - stylised world packed with mystery and eventful surprises. The concept art is perhaps most effective because of how it sums up so much about the game - Set in a foreboding and unforgiving wasteland that is often isolated and dangerous.
