Just some bioshock 2 fanart
. I've used some different references from the bioschock 2 artbook. Though it's still a bit different than the ones from the game.
Hope you'll like it
Comments and critiques wanted !

Ollee.... I'm stunned you want a critique on this? But this is like saying the painting Mona Lisa sucks, which is not the case.
Anyway I like how you added the smoke vent on this Big Daddy it adds to the more sinister and monstrous features. However maybe its just me but the arms seems slightly out of proportion did you use any measurement or estimate? It may be because the Big Daddy is posing sideways, anyway that's just me. To add on to that the drill arm seems a bit too short compared to the other Big Daddies I've seen.
Maybe you should try comparing or basing your drawings on the concept arts so the proportion of the arms wouldn't look off?
But that's just my opinion. Again its your drawing and I can't draw as well as you do.
Overall Kudos to you for such phenomenally awesome drawing.

It looks somewhat like a gladiator. Which since I like gladiators that makes it awesome

I like how he looks: big and massive as Big Daddy's are.
But there are two things that, I think, is not at their places, that doesn't fit well. First is smoke tube. It's cool idea, yes, especially if this is a part of a drill engine. But Big Daddy's sometimes walk outside into the ocean, so water will flow into the tube and blow out the fire. Second are manometers (or some kind of meters). They are close to the drill rotating part, so vibration can 'kill' them very fast.

What actually powers the mechanical components of Big Daddies? What if it's a steam-release valve not a smokestack? Imagine if Big Daddies have a specialized organ using incinerate plasmid to continuously generate heat, then using said heat to boil water in a steam engine to power their cybernetic implants.

I think overall he looks quite cool. The values are nice and he seems really bold. Now I haven't really played the game, so I can't comment on how close it is to the original. A few things that bother me, though, are...the smoke seems quite solid and massive, you might want to work on that. Also his right leg seems wrong. It connects with the body in a somewhat strange angle. I find it slightly difficult to imagine how he would walk anyway, but maybe this sort of connection between legs and hips is in the original, so that's probably just me
One more things though...his right arm seems quite flat and some of the lines are wonky. I think if you polished it more, it would already seem better. Just try to think about the underlying form, when you shade
But otherwise this guy looks pretty funky

Hey man.
First of all thanks for your input,greatly appreciated!
It's not really close to the original, I tried creating my own version by mixing some of the existing ones.
The artwork is pretty old now, so a lot of the mistakes I had done by the time I'm aware of now
The smoke was actually intended to be thick, as I was trying out a new kind of render. The thing is sadly I apparently didn't know wether to push the thing to the max or make it realistic, hence why it's looking somewhat thick but not in a realistical way =/.
You're also right about the anatomy I believe, since I was just having my first anatomy classes at the time and anatomy is always giving me hard times !
Same goes for the arm. I was trying out a progressive render, where you take of the lighting details of what's most distant to the viewer.
Thanks alot once again, cheers.
Geoffrey.

And yeah, anatomy can be evil...I sure am no expert on that
