So in case you can't tell, I've got Bioshock Infinite on the mind.

Man, that game I'm not sure where to start with it. Mere words can't quite sum up what an extraordinary experience it is; so, instead, I've opted for art. Leap of Faith was a commission for a friend, and a rushed one at that. I started off with a sketch of Booker and Elizabeth plunging through the skies of Columbia while being pursued by Songbird, then tried rendering an entire flying city behind them, with Vox Populi and Comstock airships fighting a neverending war. Started, anyway, before I ran outta time

So, I cut a ton of corners...and ended up making a better picture for it. In this second version, Booker and Elizabeth have just opened a trans-dimensional portal to escape enemy airships. Plunging through the door, they're immediately forced to make another, having dived headlong into an apocalyptic nightmare where flocks of Songbirds reign supreme. Just another day in paradise, for our two heroes...

I tried hard to render this picture in colours, without resorting to my usual black outlines; Elizabeth and Booker turned out barely ok that way, but I had to resort to tried and true blacks for the Songbird, airship and Columbia silhouettes behind them. I'll be honest: this picture is nowhere near good enough to do Bioshock Infinite justice (it is one of the best-looking PS3 games ever, after all) . Perhaps on another day, at another time, in another world, I'll make a better one.

Drawn in Adobe Photoshop CS3, in seven hours.
