Backgrounds Are Hard :(((

Portalshock!

or alternative title: "Portal: Submerged"

or just Bioshock x Portal works too

i am so proud of this it took so much time!

Here's without the background:

and here's a reference I did for the characters and the cool art deco gun

me throwing story ideas at a wall and trying to see what sticks below

alright so i've been thinking

I'm not sure if Ryan and Cave coexist or are they merged into one character, but Rapture or rather Raperture as I like to call it (it sounds so funny i can't) was built as a secret or not secret labolatory, just like how in Portal, Cave Johnson bought the salt mines. Probably mostly habitated by scientists and their families.

ADAM is being tested there alongside normal Aperture stuff (gels, portals etc). I believe that at the beginning, when the city was built, the company (Raperture Laboratories?) was pretty popular, gaining prizes like Aperture was, maybe the city's existence was a common knowledge too, but as the time went on and less astronauts, war heroes and olympians wanted to be test subjects, something happened, that led everyone to believe the city got destroyed? Maybe accident, maybe a cover up on purpouse?

Maybe they get new test subjects like they get Little Sisters in bio2 from the surface?

Dang, maybe the test subjects ARE Little Sisters, that when they complete testing, instead of getting killed like in portal, go through mental conditioning and became what they are in Bioshock. Or maybe not, maybe they return to the Relaxation Vault and just grow up, completing tests for the rest of time. Chell probably is one of those sisters. They might be spliced with ADAM so even if they are hurt, they can heal quickly so it's perfect for testing.

Whoever reads this, if you have any ideas I beg you to please share them I would be so glad to read those please

Pesky Bird

just a little silly drawing

i just found out this ship exists and i can't believe i was able to live without it holy shit

she was an aperture girl and she was a black mesa girl and they were in love and they were strong power battle lesbians

They can't be late to court!

the crew on their way to Flippas trial!

burial at sea 2 lore

i finished burial at sea 2 like 30 minutes ago and damn.

the only good stuff from those dlcs was Ryans fursona, moderately cool stealth mechanic and mr Karl Hanover (+Booker and Elizabeth voice actors were great too!)

(the first burial brought nothing good it was just boring)

though i pissed my pants every time i saw anything referencing the first game (cuz apparently the second game does not exist or something idk)

im so tired of bioshock infinite i want to come back to my real Rapture not this fake cardboard cutout

this game is extremly fanartable for some reason??? (please don't ask me about the background i cannot explain it either, Im not a good backgrounder)

doodling sketching

i was playing a lot of half life lately so when i opened my bioshock infinite save i had a bad case of cognitive dissonance so i had to draw it lmao

i've been doodling a lot lately cuz im stuck on one cool digital art ive been trying to finish for like two weeks :((

bioshock "Rapture" novel character study. Those characters are really cool!

I MISSPELED EXPLOSION oh my god

uncensored version under the cut

poor Diane :(

(she was really fun to draw though)

Day 2: Jewel/Water/Contrast

here is the challange

here is the same prompt and palette by my bestie @sabolek5x4

And then, the Rapture dream was over.

this time the color palette was randomized :))))

this was a journey to draw for sure

I WENT SO FERAL ONCE I GOT THE UPGRADED GRAVITY GUN

i feel like it's a bit empty expecially at the top, but this is the best background i've ever drawn so im proud anyway since im terrible at backgrounds
