Bioshock Challenge Entry Thread

[Cryoma]

This is the entry thread for my Bioshock Speedpainting Challenge, that means links to your NG Art Portal submissions only please! You can discuss your own and others' submissions in the discussion thread.
The challenge is to create a painting that expresses an image featuring a scene, character, event, symbol, or anything else relevant to the Bioshock series (1, 2, or 3(Infinite)) in a timely fashion.
Three winners, chosen at my discretion (but with the consideration of user feedback), will receive a copy of Bioshock 2 on Steam.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE IS APRIL 13TH AT 3:00 PM PACIFIC STANDARD TIME.
That means you have roughly 24 hours to do your best, muahahaha.

I am not affiliated with 2k Games or Steam. I purchased these copies with cold, hard, and lately invaluable US dollars.

Rules:
Allowed mediums are digital paintings/drawings (Photoshop, SAI, etc.) or a photo of a real painting or drawing, if that's your thing. Rough sketches are NOT allowed. Animation and three dimensional mediums (3d rendering or photos of sculpting, metalshop, cosplay, sorcery, etc.) are NOT allowed.
Please post only hyperlinks to your submission, do not attach the images directly.
Please use highest possible resolutions and image quality (png preferred, don't compress your jpg's)
All submissions must be posted in the NG Art Portal, I will make few exceptions to this rule.

Good luck!

If I don't get enough decent submissions I might postpone the deadline by a day or two, but you have my word that these copies will find a home.

[test-object]

You seem legit, I do suggest postponing the deadline if you want drawings truly worth while. Also, bring it out more somehow, I'm sure there are more people than just the Art section on the site who want those games. Link them to this thread for more response : )

No problem, but only a couple of days. Apologies if I'm being aggressive, but this forum has had it's fair share of false contests and requests.

Would be cool to see what people can come up with in 24hours.

Can submissions only be paintings and only done on a computer?
I'd be capable of drawing something.

Sorry if I wasn't perfectly clear, you can work on paper/canvas and take a photo/scan your work, as well as digitally paint.

[Symmachus]

Aight, bra. Enjoy the classic role-reversal of the Big Little Sister. Yeah, it's a bit sloppy. What can I say? It's not all that bad for the half-hour I spent on it.

[Spags]

I can't afford Bioshock, so I can't make a proper entry, as I lack the references.
Oh, what's this? A nice soul with 3 copies of Bioshock??? How convenient!

[maficmelody]

Oh man, got school all day tomorrow! I've always wanted to give speed-painting a whirl.. too tired now to do anything, but I'll be researching the Youtubes now =D

[Felis]

Can you offer Portal instead?

my submission

[Aigis]

Digital paintings and perspective - not my strong suits.

[LegolaSS]

yeah sure.. il have a shot at this if i get a few hours :P...

[Cryoma]

Due to the common complaint that 24 hours is not enough notice, I'm extending the deadline by exactly one day. Those starting late still have a chance when they get home from school/work etc.
Thanks for the great entries so far!

[LegolaSS]

im going to say sorry, im unable to finish it... some stuff in real life has come up so i will not be able to finish it... good luck to all who have/may enter... here was my wip that i wont finish...

[MajesticBob]

I won't win, It kinda sucks, and I broke a whole lot of cardinal Photoshop dos and dont's lol but I found out about this at 1 am last night sooo Here.

[AssKiller]

It ended half an hour ago, but if you hurry I'll turn a blind eye, there really aren't that many entries to choose from :S

Extend it by a day and I'll definitely join in - you managed to start this competition right in the middles of my exam block, so it wasn't like I could just chuck that aside to participate.

However, I got plenty of time on my hands now and I'm itching to try out a few new techniques. This is just really short notice.

[Cryoma]

Alright since three or four more people want an extension I'll go for it, but only one more day.
The final deadline is April 15th at 3pm PST.

[Hyptosis]

lol, if I'd known I had three days instead of one I would have done a better job. Just sayin'

I'm aware that it might not seem fair, but you do have a headstart if you want to keep improving what you have.
I just want to get more than four entries, otherwise everyone's a winner.

[Hyptosis]

Haha, yeah it's fine. Hypto ain't afraid of a little competition. :D

So much for speed painting.

[gween123]

Here 's the larger version

[Cryoma]

Alright this is it, it's been 3 days and I'm announcing the winners.
Congratulations to (in chronological order of submission):

Symmachus
Hyptosis
Aigis

And gween123!
That's right, four winners!
I'll be giving gween123 a copy of Portal, unless one of the other winners wants to swap prizes.

Also, an honorable mention to LegolaSS for his WIP. If he had finished I'm sure he would have won, bummer!

That's it folks, if you've won go ahead and PM me your steam ID, or add me on steam.
Thanks for your participation and look out for my next contest!
