So, one of my closest friends is having a birthday in the next few days and I'm hardly in a position to afford a proper gift for her (I'm terrible at buying gifts anyway).
We are both big fans of Bioshock, and I thought I would make something unique and came up with a replica of the Bioshock logo sign, as mixed media on canvas.
Materials were less than ideal, health problems and life stuff has sucked my resources dry but I was able to get most of the colors I needed together and some foam and a canvas. Time was short, I had a week to finish, working a few hours a day, finishing off with an all nighter to get it 99% done this weekend.
Not a terribly difficult project but ambitious for my schedule and means, I had to finish the cutting with a dull exacto and ended up needing red and black, the only thing I had was some tattoo ink which oddly enough worked pretty good, tattoo ink for a wash, must remember this.
My reference material:
I began by photoshopping up a line template:
Began cutting and gluing:
The final shapes had to be simplified slightly, reduced to only two layers of depth.
Few coats of primer:
Base Coat:
Detail work and weathering begins:
Finished Result:
Obviously the cheapness and quickness of the project is visible in the final result but I'm happy enough with it and I should certainly hope my friend likes it.
