Behind the scenes

 * Carnow on the Mothman statue: "It was important when doing our version of this statue in 76 to maintain the inherent sexiness. Ridiculous abs, lustrous chest hair, powerful ass. Looking at your pic I think I should have made that butt even thicker though. Oh well."
 * Carnow on the Gatling Plasma: "Front flaps of Gatling Plasma gun I made in Fallout 76 are modeled on thrust-vectoring jets. Wanted these to move at more complex angles when fired, but was impossible due to hierarchical bones in shared weapon rig. A miracle we got this to work as well as it did. Sorry animator!"
