Bioshock woo

Well its the first time ive got a game soon after its release and ive played it through twice and it is amazing I loved almost every second of it. The characters, although stylized so not initially my thing, were amazingly beautiful, and one of the reasons I actually felt invested in this game was Booker Dewitt and the evolving relationship between him and Elizabeth.
The story was intricate, with an ending that at first I was unsure of and with music that pulled it all together well. So much so that i even sourced, like I'm sure many other people have done, the barbershop quartet rendition of God only knows. 
The only downside of this game as Im sure anyone who has played mass effect and other choice heavy games will know that when given decisions to make you kind of hope they matter, and in Bioshock you didnt make more of an impact other than getting Booker a nice wound in his hand (or not). 
However this is only one of few downfalls in an otherwise engaging game.
On a final note I would suggest this game for anyone who has had issues with followers in other games like in Skyrim etc as it makes a change to have someone helping rather than hindering your progress.

first new character

This is my first finished character since my new laptop. I'm generally happy with it but since I'm settling into the new method and the process I'm sure I'l look back in a few weeks and find massive fault with it but in my eyes that's a good thing. If I went along thinking my work was great and being unable to see faults i would never improve.

The new improved method!

This head was created in 2 and a half hours the old fashioned strip modelling method would have taken alot longer and probably would have been less physically accurate this is proof that this method is better than the previous.
