Artist Unveils Pixel Art of Iconic Fallout 4 Location

Okay, so picture this: someone out there decided to whip up some pixel art of Fallout 4’s Red Rocket truck stop. Yeah, that place you stumble across early in the game, between Sanctuary and Concord. You know the one. Anyway, this digital masterpiece from artist—not some robot, I swear, but a Reddit user called Im_Shocker—started making waves on social media. And people? They were pretty wowed by the detail.

Red Rocket’s kinda legendary among Fallout fans, isn’t it? Like, it’s basically the Eiffel Tower of post-apocalyptic gas stations. People have done all sorts of creative stuff inspired by it—LEGO versions, oil paintings, you name it. I guess this pixel thing was inevitable.

Back to the art. So it’s this nighttime scene, with the garage side showing a power armor suit. Sure, some bits of the station are cut off, but I think that’s on purpose. Gives it this balanced vibe. Or maybe not—who’s to say?

If you’re wondering what it looks like, imagine all the iconic bits of that truck stop—there’s the Red Rocket sign, the retro rocket (really goes full raygun Gothic, if you’re into those aesthetics), and even a rusty old Nuka-Cola machine. It feels like it just popped out of the game.

The setting’s got that overgrown, “nature-takes-back” look with weeds, leaves, burnt-out cars, and oil drums. There’s even that familiar slope of the canopy. Honestly, it’s almost like standing right in the game, except, you know, pixelated.

Im_Shocker mentions they’re big on pixel landscapes, and this piece was just calling their name. And guess what, it was done on a 200×200 pixel canvas using Procreate on an iPad. Yes, that’s how the magic happened. Oh, oh, and an unspecified stylus! Mysterious, right?

So, there you have it—a nerdy nod to a Fallout favorite, capturing the gritty, nostalgic essence of the Red Rocket, all through the lens of pixel art. Pretty cool, if you ask me.
