BioShock 2 - Little Sister - Completed

[Jehudah Design]

I've wanted to make a display Jawa costume for a long time now and was planning on making a simple paper and tape mannequin for the inside of it, also thinking that my nephews might enjoy wearing it to sci-fi convensions and such sometime too.

Later I decided to change my plans a bit since I am also building a Subject Delta costume to wear over my Darth Vader muscle-suit to look huge in this costume also.

As you can see in the photo, Subject Delta is frequently followed by creepy little brainwashed zombie girls called "little sisters" that also coincidentally have big yellow glowing eyes!

So instead of making a paper and tape mannequin for the Jawa, I could buy a mannequin instead and turn that into a little sister. This way it would also be possible to photoshoot a little sister with my Subject Delta costume since it is damn well impossible to screenshoot these from the game, and I would only have to make a black mask with eyeholes for the Jawa costume with this inside it when both have big yellow glowing eyes and are the same size too.

This is the mannequin for sale nearby that I think could work for this project. It is around one meter tall which is the official size of Jawas according to the Star Wars website. Seems a little beat up, but it's from the 50's, so that fits the storyline too.

Re: Jawa...and Little Sister?

Damn it! The mannequin that could work for this project was already sold. No one at that auction site ever changes the status of what they are selling after it is actually sold, just remove it when someone else wants to buy it after they sold it already.

Just asked a different seller with a whole warehouse full of mannequins if she could help me, and it seems she found at least one that could work for this project, only the hands are missing.

Re: Jawa...and Little Sister?

Ive really liked the look of Delta, and thought that would make a really neat costume done right.

Re: Jawa...and Little Sister?

Yeah he's awesome looking alright, so I'll try my best to make it look like the one in the game.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

The mannequin dealer I contacted found one with big eyes and the right size for a Jawa costume. I don't know how tall the little sisters are, but they look very short next to Subject Delta, so if this display version would look that short next to me in my costume, it would also have to be around one meter tall like the Jawas.

The mannequin seems to be either a boy with makeup or a unisex one like the dealer meant it was, but you know when something is material it will become whatever gender you make it look like, so it doesn't matter.

The face doesn't look right at all, apart from the eyes, so I did a quick photo edit to shrink in those blubby cheeks. Apart from that I only changed the hue of the mouth and added hair and clothes, and so far it seems this one could work.

It sort of looks like a cross between the ones from the first and the second video game too.

I also found a really really cheap brown human hair wig with the right style for this, I mean $18 frigging bucks for a human hair wig with free shipping? And a gift sent with it as well? Sounds like a total ripoff to me, but we will see...

Right now the dealer is just looking for hands for this thing.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

Did you ever see the life sized displays that where made for 2?

If you meed any pix let me know, I have tons of screen caps from both games.
I also have tons of pix of the Adam extractor.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

I have one photo of a lifesize one, but that is from the first game, so if you've got several photos there of the one from the second game, then please share.

I'm thinking it will be best to make the purple dress since this seems to be the standard color for them in the game, plus it is easier to alter the hue of this to red and white for Eleanor. Harder to edit a white dress to look purple and red.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

Cool, thanks. That seems to be the version from the first game, and it seems to me like the arms rotate around the shoulders, something I wanted my display to do also. Strangely enough the arms don't look stuck in a permanent pose if the elbows are sligtly bent and the arms rotate horizontally at the shoulders like that.

Are these yours by any chance or just photos you took?

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

Yeah your right about it being first game, my mistake.
Here's a comparison with the BS2 action figure and some caps from 2.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

Great idea! I have been replaying Bioshock 1 and harvesting the little brats instead of saving them.:lol You get a TON of ADAM!

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

@division 6 - No problem. Actually a base like that would be awesome for this, if only it worked for the Jawa too! Thanks for the screenshots, I had forgotten all about the yellow dress, might even be more colors.

@Lear60man - Thanks, I'm glad you liked this idea. Well I also sort of did that too for the most part the first time I played the game since I played it in bits over a long time and didn't really know what I was doing...Then the evil ending came...

Then I played it again continuously and saved them all!

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

Colors most common in the first game are Purple, Yellow, Red, Green and blue.

Game 2 has Purple, Red, Yellow, what looks like pink.
Purple w/ stripes appears to be the most common.
Eleanor's looks solid Ivory with white accents.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

Dang, I better get playing these games again, barely remember anything about what I'm supposed to make in the first place, but yeah the striped purple one seems to be the most common, which is why I wanted to make that one.

Just to edit the color hue and it will be a different girl since they all look the same anyway...

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

Here's a photo of the really really cheap human hair wig I bought for this project. It is the only one I could find with the right style for this, should be getting it in the mail soon, only I don't have a mailbox yet...

Also I figured out there are several posable "ragdolls" from BioShock to be used in the game platform Garry's Mod, so that's a big DAMN! to that right there!

Sure enough this means I could just pose these around for featuring them in the photos of my Subject Delta costume, but then again I WILL make a display Jawa costume either way, so it's just as well to make a display statue of a little sister anyway, right?

I read somewhere online someone was eager to get that lifesize little sister statue, so maybe it's just a cool display piece for BioShock fans anyway, and I am sure a big BioShock fan and a fan of the other series that are actually the sequels - System Shock 1 & 2.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

Watch out for the rabid fan boys out there.
For a while I would scan through posts over in the 2K forum looking for screen caps of props and stuff, there are some real head cases over there.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

You mean rabid fan boy head cases like this?

Haha, yeah I'm sure, I've seen some abnormal BioShock photos out there myself...
Would rather just stay here at the RPF then instead of registering at 2K.

I tried to ask someone here if I should still start this project now that I've got the game models to pose around, but of course it was "too late at night to think out an answer", then I remembered I've gone and bought a wig already! So the project seems to be on anyway! Still I guess having a physical little sister next to my physical costume would look more realistic than a game model next to it. Figured the game models are damn hard to pose too. And sure enough scaring people with a creepy little blood-stained girl with glowing eyes is totally fun and amusing to me.

Seems they will make a BioShock movie for 2013, so YEAH! For the Clone Wars movie premiere, me and some other troopers of the 501st walked around the most famous cinema here, so I'm thinking it would be possible for me to wear my Subject Delta costume to the premiere of this movie and have them put little sister statue on the ticket counter or something, that would be cool.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

I remember seeing one of "those types" over there wanting crotch shots of the little sisters.
Sick pervs.angry


Those are full sized figures? I thought they where CG.

For a while I had a partial stuffed mannequin I made to display my nieces Jedi Padawan costume I had made for her for the Ep2 premier here in town.
I used it at a couple Prop parties then gave her the costume back.
For Ep3 I made her a X-Wing pilot outfit.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for the Bioshock movie, it's been on and off again for several years with directors changing and the date getting moved back.

Re: BioShock 2 - Little Sister.

Oh dear cheese on a stick... That's pretty screwed up right there! Good thing I will be a big daddy too to protect the little sister from 2K perverts.

No they are CG alright, they are game models from BioShock 2 converted to work in a game platform called Garry's Mod, it is a Half-Life 2 modification with lots of tools that lets you pose the CG models as "ragdolls", which is why I wondered if I could just pose these around for the photos of my Subject Delta costume instead of making a little sister statue, but I suppose I might as well make one anyway when I will definately have a display Jawa and a statue like that would be awesome to have for a BioShock fan too.

The CG models are actually damn hard to pose around, so it is actually easier to edit in a pose manually in a photo editing program, something I've done many times before as seen in the examples below. None of these robot statues I made have actual posable legs.
