- lardoandkeg, on 03/05/2008, -2/+178This is so awesome. As a former art student myself I hope this kid gets hired by 2K, he deserves it.
- Crossmenjeff, on 03/05/2008, -3/+126our lawyers would like to thank him in court....
- Twizlex, on 03/05/2008, -8/+83Noooo!!! Don't get a job!
- sandwichbender, on 03/05/2008, -0/+69The guy is definitely skilled at concept art, so even if 2K doesn't get him, somebody should.
- daytonablew, on 03/05/2008, -0/+53Its great to hear that true talent is still noticeable in this fast paced world!
- chase001, on 03/05/2008, -1/+44They'd some real dicks if they wanted to contact him for legal reasons.
- Cutter20, on 03/05/2008, -1/+41If you look closely at the art, it seems that some of these landscapes would be perfect for Half Life Episode 3. Maybe Valve should act soon to get this guy before Take 2 does.
- AwesomeMonster, on 03/05/2008, -0/+40Whale riding splicers here we come!
- edborden, on 03/05/2008, -1/+32I'm pretty sure they noted the source right on the original article... They couldn't just contact them directly? Was some awesome art, though.
- inactive, on 03/05/2008, -1/+32agreed, i love when a company keeps their eyes open to their fans. Valve does this especially well, what with Portals, CS, and all the other small time games turned into real projects.
- Cutter20, on 03/05/2008, -1/+24There totally was a whale in Bioshock... [spoilers] towards the end, when you accompany a Little Sister, the big whale model comes crashing down.
- Tyrghast, on 03/05/2008, -1/+21Now, would you kindly give this man a job?
- cgruber, on 03/05/2008, -1/+19Beer
- Fission, on 03/05/2008, -1/+19Higgles, I guess nobody told you how Digg works. When lots of people find something interesting, it gets on the front page.
Now you know! And knowing is half the battle! G.I. Joooooe Sorry, I've been waiting a long time to do that. - cyclades, on 03/05/2008, -1/+18Very cool. Now if I could just get around to actually playing Bioshock 1.
- sixthree, on 03/05/2008, -3/+18It's good, but not outstanding :S There's a ton of concept talent out there... only reason this is popular is because it's Bioshock... (and the artist was subconsciously blending it with Half-Life).
- choopie911, on 03/05/2008, -0/+14Are you kidding Higgles? How often do you hear about someone making concept art for kicks, then getting contacted by a company like that. Especially for the online community that's pretty damn impressive.
- wardrox, on 03/05/2008, -1/+14I did wonder that, but I guess if they had done that we probably wouldn't know about this.
Not only awesome news, good PR to boot :D - ictharus, on 03/05/2008, -0/+12I think it was more of a Moby Dick motif
- strictnein, on 03/05/2008, -1/+12Two thoughts:
1. Your "wet" dreams have titles?
2. WTF... we didn't need to hear about that - CrushThemTorg, on 03/05/2008, -1/+11Oh Greenland is a barren land. A land that bears no green. Where there's ice and snow and the whalefishies blow and the – AH! HOLY CRAP!
- jromz03, on 03/05/2008, -1/+11No don't! It's a trap!
They'll probably going to sue him for copyright infringement, invoke the DMCA and then sets the lawyer hounds on you!
I kid, I kid. Really hope he gets a job there... - sevenalive, on 03/05/2008, -2/+11i disagree, have u even played bioshock. It looks nothing like it.
- SpazAholic, on 03/05/2008, -0/+9there are no bigger dickdemons than Squaresoft. I mean come on! they pull the plug on Chrono Resurrection and decide NOT to remake the game. That registers as a dick move on some aspiring game developers who just wanted to make a game everyone's been wanting.
- whiteguysamurai, on 03/05/2008, -1/+10Looks more like Half life 2....
- Icebox3, on 03/05/2008, -0/+9Have you even read this article? It's a follow up piece.
- inactive, on 03/05/2008, -2/+10you tell me what bioshock is then
- ufee, on 03/05/2008, -1/+9"Here comes the thumbs down.."
Agreed. - lejake, on 03/05/2008, -0/+7Don't miss it, very enjoyable.
- h4mx0r, on 03/05/2008, -0/+7That's what the front page is for: interesting stuff. Hell, that's what Digg is for. Interesting stuff.
- bizkit00, on 03/05/2008, -0/+6yea, get back to the depressing news! oh wait, this isn't a corporate run news network trying to bring everyone down.
- noots, on 03/05/2008, -0/+6yeah i see it more suitable for half life than a bioshock prequel. Wasn't Bioshock set in like the 1950's? meaning a prequel is
i'm not saying it isn't awesome (because it is) i just can't see how it remotely fits. - slayernine, on 03/05/2008, -0/+6No kidding, what on earth does he want on the front page, fox news?
- a0me, on 03/05/2008, -1/+7They could've went directly to http://benmauro.blogspot.com/ but we might have never heard of it.
- jzungre, on 03/05/2008, -14/+20Yeah!!!! There is good in the world
- donald347, on 03/05/2008, -1/+6That's not the only place there's a whale. In the beginning when you're riding into the city you can see a Whale swimming between the buildings.
- petebot, on 03/05/2008, -0/+4The trouble of sending an email?
- Barnolde, on 03/05/2008, -0/+4That's good. If it was just like the first one, I'd be less interested. Especially in this generation of games, you should know that unique = good. I dare you to count the number of grey/brown FPS's out there.
- Culex, on 03/05/2008, -1/+5Consume a load?
- SpazAholic, on 03/05/2008, -1/+5my my.. you must fall under the immature demographic.
www.nick.com
please see yourself out of Digg, and thanks again for your cooperation. - Zeldafreak104, on 03/05/2008, -1/+5I just rented and beat bioshock a few days ago (I just got a 360) and damn, it was amazing.
- Sornos, on 03/05/2008, -0/+3Would you kindly finish the game?
- hyperden, on 03/05/2008, -3/+6That is great to see, that is a great artwork, captured bio-shock theme well.
- Dustmuffins, on 03/06/2008, -0/+3I've said it before and I'll say it again: "I swear 2k reads digg."
- joep0, on 03/05/2008, -0/+2Free beer
- FireandFlame, on 03/05/2008, -1/+32K Games, Hire this guy now......Would you kindly?
- deepmenace, on 03/05/2008, -3/+5genuine lol
- noots, on 03/05/2008, -0/+2digg cut off "meaning a prequel is -less than sign- 1950's"
- SamuelHenderson, on 03/05/2008, -0/+2Thats why it's probably getting a prequel. :D
