Rejected Vault Boy art from Fallout 2

[Verevoof]

Well, I was over at the ol' deviantart webhole when I came across Brian Menze's deviantart page. He just recently uploaded an unused, and well, according to Menze, the only rejected Vault Boy art from Fallout 2. So, without further ado, here our beloved Vault Boy, demonstrating the Child Killer perk:

This image was unused and the only Vault Boy image to ever be cut from Fallout 2. (I'm sure you can figure out why) I remember when I got the request to do a perk illustration for "child Killer" that there would be no way to keep in from being offensive. I mean really! how do you make an illustration of "child killer" and keep it from being offensive? Anyway for some reason, I thought this was the least offensive way to do it. I have no idea what i was thinking. Even the designer who requested it realized it was a bad idea, so we nixed it. Looking back on it now, I can't beleive I drew this.

Hmm... I wonder why it was rejected...

Haha! That is really awesome.

Maybe it should be re-added in Killap's Restoration Patch or some other mod? Seeing as Childkiller uses the same picture as the Antipathy(?) karma level:

Would hold some humorous variety.

I’m not sure whether everyone is aware of this, but there are a number of lost (unused) Fallout artworks in the various Fallout 2 art folders. And as far as I can tell it isn’t art that was dropped from Fallout 1. It was built, but not used in game (proto-typed). I stand to be corrected by some Fallout super brain. Two of them have been placed in the new FEMP maps in RP 1.3…seek and you shall find.
