An artist has drawn the characters of Stardew Valley in the world of Fallout, providing a glimpse of how Pelican Town's citizens would fare in the post-apocalyptic Wasteland. Both franchises are incredibly popular among gamers.

DaintyBrute also drew Maru, Penny, synth Harvey, ghoul Sebastian, and raider versions of Sam and Abigail. Raiders are the bandit-like denizens of the Wasteland who often murder and plunder to survive, while ghouls are former humans who mutated into grotesque creatures due to high radiation exposure. Synths are essentially artificial humanoids that were created by The Institute, a mysterious organization that considers itself to be a bastion of knowledge and prosperity.

Community members praised the crossover illustrations of DaintyBrute, who explained that Stardew Valley and Fallout were two of their favorite franchises. Stardew Valley is one of the most highly rated games on Steam, where the title
