It looks like there are Big Daddies for all sorts of BioShock fans: cobbled-together Big Daddies, beaded Big Daddies, and even edible Big Daddies (which look great, despite the appetite-killing mental image), and now? A sculpted version. Just keeping things fresh.
Nice work in clay here, with a lot of great detail there on Big Daddy’s head.…

Once upon, Rapture might have been an okay place. Sure, that was before our time, but isn’t it always nice to remember the good ol’ days? These lovely BioShock-inspired earrings allow you to do just that, but with class.
Of course, the glory days turned into gory days when everyone started killing each other, but eh. Details!…

You can say a lot of things about BioShock’s Big Daddies. Cuddly really isn’t on that list; the hulking metal protectors are, in fact, pretty anti-cuddly. But all it takes to soften them up a little, it seems, are a few beads.
deviantARTist l1vethedream reports that the Big Daddy project took a long time, and no…

Here’s the perfect fashion accessory for Bioshock fans.
Technabob reader Matthew Borgatti (aka “M@”) created this intricately detailed bronze belt buckle which bears the inimitable Art Deco logo from the classic underwater shooter. M@ started out by having a wax mold carved on TechShop’s Tormach CNC.
He then produced a silicone mold from the wax and…

BioShock’s Big Daddies seem to turn up in all sorts of forms. You can make an edible Big Daddy, or hang out with a lifesized Big Daddy, or, if you like the square-headed variety, you can do what this guy did: make a Big Daddy out of LEGOs.
I like this version a lot because it’s…

Some games linger, even when they’re no longer in the spotlight, and BioShock is a game that may never die. The sinister underwater city of Rapture continues to haunt the minds–and hands–of artisan gamers around the world. From bento to Big Daddies, it seems like there’s always some BioShock project around. This time? A replica ADAM syringe.…

For those of you who have put in your fill of time playing Bioshock, you know that Big Daddy can be one mean dive suit wearin’ mutha-flippa’. But now that he’s been transformed into a tasty lunchtime treat, he doesn’t look so imposing anymore.
This delicious Bento box was created by flickr contributor AnnaTheRed, and…

Owen Good over at the big K has a great idea: if you’re looking for a gift for your gamer-friends but you find that actual video games are too pricey, get them these wonderful yet cheap shirts instead. For instance, the RRoD shirt, pictured below, is just $19. The one after that, the Bioshocker, is…

While Bioshock was one of the darkest and bone-chilling games I’ve ever played, this recent gamer fan art somehow manages to make those creepy Little Sisters just a little less imposing.
This Anime Bioshock illustration by Shuugo envisions the little sisters with those bright Anime saucer eyes, making them look more curious than ominous. Big Daddy…

Remember those full-scale Big Daddy statues that I told you about a few months back? Well it looks like you can have one of these creepy characters in your own living room if you’re willing to pony up the dough.
There’s currently one of these gargantuan 7′-2″ statues up for bid on the Dutch eBay…

Given the fact that for my entire life, I’ve been completely incapable of drawing anything but some straight lines and the occasional stair step on an Etch-A-Sketch, this image simply blew my head off.
I was already duly impressed with the detail that artist the Etch-A-Sketchist has been able to squeak out of the little…

While those of us who played the supremely awesome Bioshock demo are salivating to get our hands on the full game, a few lucky stiffs have been able to pick up copies of the game a full week ahead of its 8/21 release date. Apparently, some bozos really intelligent individuals working behind the counter at Toys…
