About this image

Out of like the 50 mods ideas I always have going on, I've always noticed how in the GECK there was an unfilled column for female versions of the Vault Boy icons for every armor. There is only one armor with a Vault Girl, that being Vera's Outfit. I know some modders have played around with creating icons but they're almost always either lacking in quality, scaled down versions of pre-existing art or just straight up too naughty for the typical player to even consider having in their playthrough.

By taking in game examples like from various perks and studying what others have created, I made a decent vanilla looking base as well as a more curvy icon with a more similar to stance of the Vault boy which you can see in the example above. I've already drawn all icons for Old World Blues but if I wanted to do for example, base game, i'd need to draw 99 variants.

Let me take a moment to discuss Vault Boy styles. Theres two noticable ones. Fo3 has a more simplistic vault boy whilst FNV has a vault boy with slightly taller eyes, body and detailed icon clothing taking note of pouches, patterns and even shoes. I do like the detail so I tend to normally lean towards replicating this one in my creative choices. Now whilst the default vault girl is rarely seen in Fo3 besides perks, they usually didnt have any common visual elements besides possibly the head and whilst I do like Vera's dress, it lacks a large canvas to work on as the pose is very thin compressing all that detail.

    Icons change depending on player's gender, Male characters will not have these female icons.
    Here are also various vanilla friendly variants I created from faction rep icons to construct a base to work from

    Great idea. A sober and tasteful female icon set would be very nice to see

    Fantastic idea! I've wanted Vault Girl icons for so long and like you said, the ones that do exist aren't exactly great!
