[B]Brian Menze may not necessarily be a household name as yet, but he's the mind behind the iconic "Vault Boy" images used throughout the 'Fallout' game franchise. He recently released an image "Childkiller" which was originally intended for use in Fallout 2 but was eventually omitted from the game. He explains why:[/B]

[INDENT]“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 it 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 believe I drew this.”
