BioShock The Movie : Big Daddy Fan Poster

 I chose a low angle to portray Big Daddy's menacing look, and a leak in progress to portray Rapture's precarious appearance. The expression of splashing water was added with Photoshop. LoRA seem to have worked and did almost everything. I like this Big Daddy design, which is a little taller than the previous original design, as it seems to be suitable for a live-action film.

 If there was one problem, it was not easy to get the Little Sisters into the right places. I just composited her in photoshop. Composite quality doesn't seem very good. Still, I'll have to be content with this.

 BioShock was a big turning point for me. I started with a surprise about computer graphics, and the twist at the end is really the best I can think of now. I hope this work will be made into a great live-action movie someday.

little 3D effect on it. :D

Rapture: The Beginning

Imaginatively evoking the landscape of human beings longing to connect, to love and feel loved, this suspense/psychological thriller film is a parable of happiness gloriously found and tragically lost. “Rapture: The Beginning” tells the overlapping stories of those who call the city home.

Somewhere..under the sea.. somewhere that’s waiting for me…

Hello Mr.B!

I chose… Rapture. A city where the artist would not fear the censor. Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well. 

Make me choose: Rapture or Columbia | Asked by @alilstair​

Favorite Locations in Rapture: 3/?

       ↳ Fort Frolic

Being the best at what you do can really take it out on you. So unwind! At Fort Frolic: gamble, shop, take in a show or meet a new friend, all at Fort Frolic.

“Ladies, don’t let a few wrinkles or crow’s feet get between you and the man in your dreams. Whatever the flaw, Dr. Steinman has a solution. Come see him at Aesthetic Ideals in the Medical Pavilion…”

Medical Pavilion: As ADAM became widely available among the citizens of Rapture, its self-healing abilities changed the use of all of the Pavilion’s healing facilities. Due to the instability of ADAM and excessive use amongst many of Rapture’s citizens, unforeseen physical deformations began to occur. In response, many hospital facilities quickly became replaced by cosmetic surgery facilities such as Dandy Dental and Dr. Steinman’s Aesthetic Ideals. 

Track: Dr. Steinman

Subject Delta, I want you to commit this moment to memory for me – this… howling, brutish slog through the dark. This is who we are.

Everything stays Right where you left it Everything stays But it still changes Ever so slightly Daily and nightly In little ways When everything stays.

Had some Strong Feelings about how good end Jack and the little sisters were basically the only good to come out of Rapture since the fall, and how even if Rapture never changes there will always be change for the better in the world

Why Bioshock should be a Netflix series

1) more time compared to a movie.  Each Level could be an episode. (with some levels getting 2, such as Welcome to Rapture, Fort Frolic, etc)

2) No worries about ratings. Netflix has shown it doesn’t care about E/G, and Bioshock has to be R.  There is too much blood and death. Not to mention the Little Sisters and Big Daddies being who they are.

3) The Audio Dairies can be flashbacks.  Some of them will have to be either simplified or cut (such as the ones about codes to get into rooms) but we could see Rapture’s rise and fall play out in bits. Maybe some can be added to show stuff form the novel or just to show stuff that were only talked about in a diary? (If I remember correctly, there is no audio diary FROM the take over of Fontaine Futuristc for example)

4) Clarify a lot of canon.  Stuff from Burial at Sea, seeing Eleanor and Delta, etc.  Even places from 2 that weren’t seen or mentioned but would help the story and plot.  (such as the amusement parks, the trains, etc)

5) More Tenenbaum, Ryan, Fontaine.  We get to actually see them play out and react, unlike in the game. We SEE Brigid come to her realization and change.  Ryan’s figuring out who Jack is. Fontaine setting up his little empire.  Suchong experimenting.  Sofia Lamb, Dr Steinman, Diane McClintock, maybe even Elizabeth and Booker.

6) More focus on the effects of splicing.  Why people Splice. How people first realized what was going on.  Etc.

7) the Civil War in all of it’s horrible glory. The Mind Control, the shortages, the people trying to escape, the houses, Ryan and Atlas going at it from their glass towers with everything they got and all the people dying in the middle.

8) Big Daddies and Little Sisters!

I just think it could really work. 

Some lovely concept art for the Triton Cinema area in the Dionysus Park level!

A journey through Bioshock ⤷Chapter III; Medical Pavilion part II

For every choice, there is an echo. With each act, we change the world. One man chose a city, free of law and God. But others chose corruption. And so the city fell. If the world were reborn in your image, would it be paradise, or perdition?

Colourful aesthetic of despair
