[Bioshock Infinite Retrospect]

This game gave me the benefit of the doubt, If you wait past the end game credits Booker wakes up in his office with a baby crying in another room. You can open this room, and then... bam, black screen, no answers for me, only doubts and theories. My best explanation is that Booker was resurrected from being drowned, just as at the beginning of the game during his baptism to get into Calumbia.
This game fucked my mind and twisted my heart, made me want to slap the shit out of Booker during most parts of the game, though still, I feel horrible for this man and his endevers.
5/5 for your reaction and 100/5 for Bioshock Infinite.

MarikBentusi responds:

Oh yeah, that's the "hints of a happy ending" I was referring to since general consensus is that after the credits we get to see Elizabeth's replacement for everything she's retcon'd, a new timeline in which Booker still has his child and no Comstock to sell it to.
Of course, doesn't change that every universe still needs something like a Columbia or Rapture. So no matter what your new fantastic timeline is, you've still sacrificed a bunch of people for exchanging one evil for another equal one.

I felt really sorry for Booker in the end. I mean the revelations must've been tough on Elizabeth, or that's why I assume she went into what's almost a trance, but I can't even begin to imagine what effect it had on Booker.
In the second before he was drowned I mean.

[The Huntress]

What type of tablet was used to make this, I have no idea what kind I should buy and what programs I should use on it. I'm new to the electronic world of art... 5/5
Hopefully I'll get as good as you at this.

bigCman321 responds:

I used a Bamboo Create. You can get it for about $160 on Amazon.com. It will take some time to get used to drawing with it. The tablet plugs into computer and is basically a big touch pad and pen stylus. I used Photoshop, but there are other good programs you can get for free.

Just keep practicing. :)

[Spriggan Earth Mother]

I love skyrim, the only problem i see with this is that the stomach does'nt have the spriggon sapling, but I can understand how you'd remove that, it's a bit of an eye sore. I like this style more. 5/5

dannywithnoodles responds:

Thank you kind sir! Yeah I found implementing the sapling was a little difficult so I decided to leave it out to reduce clutter

[Concept]

WHAT TYPE OF ART DEVICE DO YOU USE AND WHERE COULD i FIND ONE?

Admiral-Basilisk responds:

Drew it in pencil then used photoshop to color it with a wacom tablet, mines a little dated but I'd certainly recommend the brand. Thanks for the 5!

[Morrigan]

The lines are so light and subtle, I love these kind of pictures. I also think she is very beautiful, did you have a model, if so, may I have a link to a photo of her, I'd enjoy drawing her with a full body. I'm trying to get used to drawing human anatomy.

Mahjix responds:

Thank you very much for your kind words! Unfortunately, I didn't use any reference for this. ^^;

[S<3T: Marina (+1)]

Her tongue looks a bit unnatural looking, maybe if you show'd a bit more of her lower mouth it would seem more eye catching, maybe that's just me though. good work with the color and the lighting, I need work on that.

DeliciousOrange responds:

Thanks for the complement! Her tongue being exaggerated is done on purpose.

[Mother of Maeve]

Reminds me a bit of the call girls that were on air planes/ fighter planes. I hope you don't mind me using this style in one of my sketches.

MissLace responds:

She was meant to be from that time in my mind, so I'm glad you saw that. Also I don't mind at all.

[KKS - Conker test 3]

I miss Conker... thank you for bringing those memories back.

KKSlider60 responds:

Thanks to you. ^^

[END OF THE WORLD POOL PARTY]

What type of art pad/program do you use?
How much does it cost?
And Where can I get it?

MST3KMAN responds:

I used Photoshop CS6 program and a Wacom Cintiq 12wx.

All together I've spent 1,100 because I got the production suite from Adobe which comes with several other programs that I use.

But if you practice a lot you can get this same effect with SAI (A free program) and a Bamboo Tablet for around $40.

I've spent as much as I have because I work better with a cintiq and I've studied Photoshop and I got a discount for the programs because I go to an art school.

You can get SAI by if you google it and I'm sure there's a site that can let you download it. And the tablet can be purchased at Ebay or Amazon or Best Buy if they have them.
