Turret’s Characteristics

Before diving into the drawing process, let’s explore the key characteristics of automated turrets:

• Automated turrets were originally created by large corporations and used by the military as unmanned security units.
• They are capable of selecting trespassing targets and engaging them.
• Even after 200 years, some of these turrets remain active and hostile.
• Raiders, Gunners, and super mutants have learned to control or create turrets for defense.
• The Institute has engineered its own blue variant of the laser turret.

If you want to take your drawing to the next level, consider adding other related characters or objects to the scene, like raiders, robots (e.g. Codsworth, Tankbot etc.) or settlements defended by turrets.
