Description
Who gave God monopoly on heaven?Like Andrew Ryan of the game Bioshock, I pictured a city of bold and inventive individuals, living for no higher authority but themselves, reaching skywards.

Seeing that HE is the Creator of ALL things I would venture to say ownership is His by default.

You, in a word, are "perfect". This is seriously the greatest thing I have seen all year. Hands down. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

nice poster by the way. Captured the idolatrous exoticism showcased in art deco. I'm guessing Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis' was a muse of your's.

Stupid question: This IS on the seafloor, right? It's kind of unclear to me. Also, you misspelled Babylon. Now, on to better commentary....
Now, the next Bioshock, after Burial At Sea and the necessary sequel to Infinite, really should be in space, whether a space station or a moon-base. The 50's Raygun Gothic motif is the obvious style, and the Cold War gives enough of a premise(nothing else comes to mind at the moment). I haven't really thought of much else, though.
Your thoughts?

To answer your first question: No it's not on the seafloor, it's supposed to be a city above ground built around a great tower/scyscraper (literally) reaching pretty much all the way up to Gods ballsack (pardon the french). For effect I could picture the city on top of a high place like a great hill or mountain or something alike, as a sort of beacon to the rest of the world close enough to see it. And also, no I didn't misspell Babylon. "Babalon" is meant to be a play on words, "Baba" (as in Baa baa black sheep) being the noise made by sheep or lamb. To play further with the underlying religious (or anti-religous) theme.
Yes, that could be a good setting for a sequel, or perhaps sometime in the later half of the 1800's close to the core of the earth, like Jules Verne?

Late 1800's? I'll admit I thought of an underground city as well, but how would that work? And as for the style, Infinite did Steampunk already....
I'm missing a LOT of information, as much as I 'research,' and it's hard to keep track of the styles of time periods, given the 20th century and all.

This is positively stunning! And I find it, resonant as well. I'm enthralled with much from this era and in this style largely originating from the Fallout games (1 and 2). I'm even working on a bit of an original story, no ambitions just an idea I'm fleshing out; anyway, the story focuses on a small grouping of very tall buildings - rare for the situation - call the Tower of Babel. Anyway, most of the characters have connections to the "Tower" so, needless to day this image really grasped my interest.
You've certainly got a talent for this particular style, I'll soon visit your gallery, but for now I'm simply in awe. So clean, you certainly achieved the feeling of regal height and space in this poster, which is double impressive as there are no real 3D mechanics involved in the image. Lovely.
I wonder, have you an inclination for commission work?
Thanks SOOO much for sharing! You've certainly inspired me to try new things and boldly design where I've never designed before. ;D Rock on!

Great work! I especially love the colors. You should do more art deco stuff!
P.s. I love Bioshock as well, and it too has inspired me to do some art deco styled work for my polytech class.
