Description This was for a project in my ceramics class last year to make a game board out of clay. I chose to make a chess set based off of my all time favorite video game Bioshock!!

I was able to enter it in my old schools senior art show and actually won second place.

The pawns are Plasmid and Tonic jars, the knights are Thuggish splicers, the castles are Little Sister Hidey Holes, the bishops are Spider splicers, the queens are Big Sisters and the kings are Alpha Series Big Daddy's

The Knights are Thuggish splicers, it's hard to tell from the picture but they're holding pipes Good observations on the rest though

I want it now! They made Transformers into chess, they made The Simpsons into chess why not Bioshock? Great job on it.

Man hats off to more way than can say for being such a hardcore fan of the Bioshock games and taking chess and giving it a spin unlike anything ever seen before.

Well second place in your world perhaps but it the realm of this world think you earn a massive A+ for your diligence and attention to detail. Honestly hope and can say with such good workmahship and even design of both board and the pieces that think this would make for an outstanding re-imagining of chess.

Considering all the other icons that have made their onto other games like Star Wars and such this really feels right the way you took such time and focus to make the many familiar splicer mask's and faces to even the iconic Big Daddy and plasmid containers as rooks, incredible! o0o

Seems you paid alot of attention to the game how you show off the full details of the mask for some the splicers and even carryover the smaller point like the tanks on the Kings'/Queen's back or the iconic touch of red to go with the ADAM vials. Small things lead up to great detail and heck yours here earns some serious applause.

All the same a damn nice job too on the board itself having some art style to show off and even the welcome to Ratpure sign hanging in the front. That even including the chains and the quote that this whole game was based on, you really chose the impossible Rorschach94 and hope you give yourself a pat on the back for something as outstanding as this.

Well wherever this idea ends up at least you'll always have your own interesting way to place a game of chess, so hopefully you'll keep up the great work and keep being creative as hell to making more badass Bioshock fanwork like this, would you kindly? ^0^

Heck think the whole Bioshock community would give you a standing ovation if this idea somehow got its way into the game-board industry! Think you deserve more bravo than this crab, you being the gotdamn awesome splicer who did all this wonderful work, fly away little moth! ^0^
