Rapture Gothic

Description

This is some Bioshock fanart. For anyone who hasn't played this awesome game, it centers around an underwater city named Rapture where conventional moral and ethical principles of government have been suspended--leading to disaster.

The primary enemy in the game are people called splicers. The scientists of Rapture have come up with ways to genetically "splice" people, giving them enhanced physical and mental abilities. Unfortunately, repeated splicing leads to mental and physical degradation and eventually the majority of the population are deranged killers, crawling up the walls, teleporting, and trying to kill your character.

I always feel bad for the splicers. They're really just normal people who wanted a better life and got caught up in a tragic situation. The couple in this picture are meant to represent people in the early stage of their decline. They aren't as disfigured or murderous as the characters encountered in the game, but the signs are beginning.

I used :iconclickypenpixiexstock: as reference for the woman. Thanks!

The guy is loosely modelled on Cillian Murphy.
