Inside the Vault: Gary Noonan

Inside the Vault this week is with character artist <a href="http://bethblog.com/?p=453#more-453" target="_self">Gary Noonan</a>. Highlights:<blockquote>What’s your job at Bethesda?

Character Animator. Among other things that involve being a Character Art shock trooper.
What other games have you worked on?

If Bethesda made it since ‘96, I probably have a credit on it. From Battlespire to Fallout 3, I have been a 401k slaving fool....My story is FAR from what most developers would share. In the
beginning, I guess around ‘91, I was a grease monkey. In short, I
worked with cars in a body shop. Most of my formal training and
certification was in the automotive industry. Painting, body work,
restorations, customizations, you name it. I decided to take a break
and I tried my hand in school at classic animation. Old school. We are
talking Oxberry and acetates (you old folks will know what I am talking
about). School was a drag. I didn’t feel challenged and it was actually
quite boring. So, I dropped out.

The horrible ork in the background kinda ruined it for me.

I like him - he's a dropout grease monkey - which means he's had a real job since he got all growed up and stuff.

Although he HAS worked on ALL the Bethesda stuff since Battlespire....

Will we battle them or use our "veteran status" to not dignify them with a fight?

I read the title and I keep thinking, "Man, I wish this was about Gary Numan."

I remember how overplayed this was when it came out, and for years and years afterward.

I couldn't stomach it again until recently.

the cars video makes me remember how MTV changed the whole audio/visual music thing and made it really awesome to watch music videos instead of the terrible garbage that came before.....and then of course crushed it and made MTV into the horrible POS that it is now.....
