New Inside the Vault article, today on Grant Struthers, one of the Bethesda's artists. Not too much about Fallout:<blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px">What have you drawn on for inspiration in developing Fallout 3?
For the effects work, more than anything I think I get inspiration from observing real life. Obviously I don’t get to see very many explosions in my usual day to day, but I do find myself staring at things like camp fires or snowdrifts or the exhaust from the car in front of me. I like to try to imagine how these fluid shapes can be believably re-created using our tools.If I had to pick a single tangible resource that I have used I think it would be the film Trinity and Beyond: the Atomic Bomb Movie. This is the definitive film for anyone who is looking for nuclear explosion reference. It’s also a disturbing look at how close we could have been to something like the world of Fallout becoming a reality.</blockquote>Read: <a href="http://bethblog.com/?p=183#more-183" target="_blank">Inside the Vault - Grant Struthers</a>Spotted @ <a href="http://bethblog.com/">Bethesda Blog</a>

Kinda looks like the Fonz that got a D&D set instead of a guitar for his 6th birthday.

Hah your actually right, he does look like winkler. Winkler was also a pretty big nerd before happy days but played a super cool guy. The profile totally sticks. Also does the fawns have a son?

Notice that unlike most beth devs so far, he didnt have ALL of the FO swag on display in his office ?

Either they didnt stage that pic as much as the otehrs were, or hes not quite as fake as certain others .......
