[PROJECT] Airbrushed 'Bioshock' TJ-07

Just kick her in the pancreas, problem solved!

:D

If the female of the species are roughly all the same by nature then I believe that will be quickly countered with a swift kick into the nether regions. and boy do those hurt for an interdimensional eternity
 
Nooooooooooo

Now you don't. :) Much better Don't you think? - that whole artistic license thing again :)

I need to sort that bit ont he top of the helmet out too :)

I have also decided not to include any of the windows and architecture in the scene. The reason for this is simply that when i put the panel onto the rest of the chassis, all of those window panel lines and metal bars would have to 'go somewhere' So i am just not including them.

Now what i tend to do now on a project like this is to finish off any major parts of this panel, then put it to one side and come back to it at the end.
When you have been starting at the same piece for days on end. you tend to miss mistakes... SO after a few days of not looking at it. when i go back to it any mistakes will stand out and i can correct them and put the final touches onto the artwork


Next stage..

Rapture!

Dude you are like an airbrushing god! :eek:

MaD Propz!

Can't wait for an update & more pix...

*Subscribes quicker than paris got outta jail!
 
Still no internet at home... the projrct is coming alomng though, i have finaly decided on a design for the rest of the case.

It was harder than i had planned dues to the complete lack of surface area on the other 3 sides of the case!

I photochopped what i thought would look nice and i have set about creating the masks.

Updates as soon as I have my connection back :(


p.s does anyone know the font for bioshock? not the logo but like the header on the culd of rapture ?

Double edit:
found it - "Avenida"

The week from hell:

Well the lack of updates has been for a few reasons, firstly my internet was down and then things decided to go from bad to worse…

I was painting the main section of the case, finished the photograph which you will see later… pulled the masking tape off to finish the design and… well to cut a long story short, my bin is now full of unused B and q masking tape rolls!

Then I had to use ‘the N word’ ( Nitro mors) and pretty much start from scratch on the mid section.

How could it get worse?

Shortly after this, I was putting the case back onto the bench, lost my balance and nocked my airbrush off its stand, so now I have a bare metal case, and an airbrush with a 90 degree bend in the needle, and a potentially ruined fluid nozzle to boot ( these 2 parts cost more than the average beginners airbrush to replace! ) I’ve now been waiting days for a spare needle to arrive, so in the mean time I managed to find an old needle that is a little worse for wear, but kinda works. So I have been using that.

SO on with the update?
I cant really undertake any serious work on this case until my airbrush is 100%, Its not worth it!

Ill start from where I left off.
The side panel with the mural is nearly done. All colour to the whole case will be added at the very end. Up until now its all black and white.

The rest of the case has proved a little difficult to decide on a design. The problem is that there’s just hardly and space to work on.
I quickly mocked up the case and heres what I have so far.

I decided to play bioshcok form the start again, as this is where the strongest images are. From this I took the city scape of Rapture from the pause menu, and some images from when your first in the elevator going under the ocean.

Remember this from the area where you first get the plasmids?

The ‘welcome to rapture is masked in negative, so when the mask is pulled it looked like this:

Going back to the scene in the elevator, I remembered that slide show that Ryan shows, and the photo that sticks in your head “from the desk of Ryan”

Now this is the point where I had the problems, during which time my brother decided to borrow my camera and I forgot to change the settings back to how I needed them. So some of the pics are a tad poor in places.



Again, I cant finish this bit until I get my new needle! Which is why the guys face looks a little off. But this also has a lot to do with the photo’s

That’s all for now folks ! thank for being patient.
If you’re thinking its looking a bit bland, just wait until I add the colour ;)
 
Awsome updates!

Looks nice and clean!

Love your work dude!

Is this for a magazine or just for fun?

It may go in a couple of airbush related magazines... not sure about computer mags though.
I don't know it's future for sure, It wont be my personal case of course.
A few parties are interested in the case already though !

cheers,

Hiya RB

Although you hear this all the time,

Awesome Job! :) Followed pretty much all your projects, this has to be my fave, although not based on your Airbrush Skills (As all your cases are amazing), just Bioshock :D

Keep up the work! :)

Take Care,

Larnica
