Bioshock themed picture, one of the more unique videogame worlds and so rather the pleasure to paint occasionally!

God damn. I have seen the light, and this is it. This is one of the greatest images I have seen in ages. *chef kiss*

Oh boy, didn't realize we're using scales going to 200 at this point! :D
Thank you :)
Thank you :)
Well I'm a professional you see, and I have professional grade scales!
Wonderful picture! Lots of great elements. The handrail pattern, the looming city behind... Great variety and I really like how the whole picture flows from top to bottom :D
Thank you, yeah that's why i love portrait compositions so much. There's something so appealing about going either top to bottom or bottom to top. It's like you're looking up a tall building or something and you have to crane your neck because it doesn't fit into your field of vision entirely.
Apt comparison with the tall building! I think we are more adapted to taking most things on horizontal plane wholly in one sweeping look. Portrait, vertical layouts done especially well like here have this benefit of making us take in elements one by one as they slide into our focus. Makes it that much more fun to actually pay attention to every part of the piece instead of being influenced by its general mood haha
Yep, there is a reason why widescreens are so common. Can create a similar effect with a horizontal aspect ratio but you really need to stretch it there. Which can be fascinating too but yeah it's easy to make it a bit too silly that way.
I love the attention to detail you put into the staircase banister/railing, and the environment this creates. It's fantastic.
Rapture is a pretty sweet location.
Nice job capturing the look and feel of the place.

Hah thank you, and happy to contribute to that fan-favourite then :D
This is a work of art, pure and simple. You capture the Bioshock mood perfectly but even without that, it would be an incredible piece.
This is the kind of beautiful picture that makes me jealous I didn't commission it first
Oh, my great fang, you always know how to surprise me with does brilliant details & colors.
Amazing. truly amazing, thank you, Nomax.

Remarkable work ^^

Hah thank you very very much. :) I'm looking forward to it should we end up working on something together.
Having just replayed BioShock: You have hit the charm of the game perfectly. This is how I imagine it before the big breakdown.
Being into art deco to the degree of being in the process of modeling my living room to fit the exact style of the 1920/30 art deco: You really hit the style perfectly: The materials, the verticality of the individual elements, fitting floral accents...
I do like most of your works, but this is especially awesome.

Thank you very very much! Yeah i wanted to push that pre-downfall elegance of it all, compared to how grimy it is in the game. Nice to hear i seem to have got it right :)
My favorite part about this is the city lights in the background.
Lighten Layer mode works pretty well. As it just shows up when the layer is brighter than what's below. Pretty easy to get lights done with that. Though screen and colour dodge can be helpful too. Always depends a bit on circumstances.
Wow this is amazing! Great work with the colors and with everything else!
I see the words "grand staircase" and immediately think Titanic. My bad. Some sci-fi world art. And very well done.
Oh yeah, i specifically took it because of the titanic one. Though no particular reason beyond just giving some people something to think about.
Definitely one of the most impressive pieces you have posted this year. Amazing just doesn't seem like a good enough word.
Aw thank you very much :) Very happy to hear that! I mean ideally you'd always want the latest picture to be the absolute best one ever, but of course doesn't always align like that. So it's always great when it does!
Just in Awe atm. The detail is so GOOD! ^.^ Keep up the awesome work, and hope to commission you some day. Till then, I wish you and every else the best.
Thankyou very much. And of course all the best to you just the same :)
Gotta love when a setting is instantly recognizable.
Beautiful!
Beautiful!
I thought it looked like that club from the beginning level of Bioshock!
Dig you mentioned Bioshock, but also get big time Blade Runner vibes from this
I've been a huge fan of Bioshock for over a decade, and this is one of (if not the) best fanart of the game I've ever seen. As always the lighting is exceptional, the details in the city in the background is impressive, and the gradient of color from the inside to the outside conveys a great atmosphere to the piece. Also the statue of Atlas lifting the Earth is a brilliant nod to the eponymous character of the game !
Seriously you'll never cease to amaze me

Oh my god, you have all of my yes
another outstanding piece, boi!
Always leaves me speechless by what you're able to put onto the canvas, man.

I saw it and immediately heard this piece of music playing in my head.

Yess! I looked at that and went, "Is that Rapture?"
Lovely work. My goodness. Such lovely work here.
Thank Leon for asking this. Thank you for doing it.

The lighting and detail and atmosphere and architecture and...
Incredible!!!

This is a truly gorgeous scene you've created. Wonderful details and so many points of light to catch one's attention. Very nice!
had to fav it here too, simply love the composition and colors (plus theme, of course) simply amazing!
At least he got to see the nice of Rapture. Me on the otherhand got to meet the denizens afterwards.
Hah yep, that's because you always get yourself in bad situations!
