Zoey Lavender's Power Armor (Public Alpha) 0.42

Please read this in its entirety. I will not answer stupid questions.

 

When the Vulpine Race was first released, I created a character I didn't think was going to be more than a testbed. Eventually, the character turned into much more than just a Fallout playthrough. It turned into an expression of everthing I had repressed during my years presenting male and eventually became my feminine identity as I transitioned.

 

Her name is Zoey Lavender.

 

Over time, I eventually gave this character a huge backstory, fully fleshed out personality, armor, weapons, and even a squeaky voice.

 

I even made my own clothing for her by mixing a red and black vault suit and light combat armor to make my own unique design.

 

I have spent literally thousands of dollars ($2500+) on art of this character. Eventually I gifted the character to one of my good friends.

 

Since the character was created in Fallout 4, I already had 3D models and easily accessible screenshot and rendering tools.

 

However, I did not have her signature exo-suit/power armor.

 

So, I spent $250 hiring a 3D artist named VintMihal to create the armor model based off of the reference and some additional guidance.  This artist (to my knowledge) has never played any of the Fallout games, so the model had to be created over the Power Armor frame in ZBrush.

 

After it was finished, I had to get the model into Fallout 4. I have spent nearly 4 whole days working nearly nonstop to get it to a playable and enjoyable state.

 

Some sacrifices had to be made to the overall design due to Bethesda's shitty game engine and my somewhat limited rigging ability, such as the tubing coming from the helmet.
