Dress up like a Big Daddy, win BioShock schwag photo

Destructoid and 2K Games are teaming up to give you guys the chance to win some cool BioShock schwag! Yay!

Entering is fairly simple: create your very own costume of BioShock's resident hulking teddy bear, the Big Daddy. Then, take a picture of it and post it in the comments. Simple, right? Some rules:

1. Please wear pants in the picture.
2. Photos must not exceed 550 pixels in width!
3. This is not a Photoshop contest, so it must be an image of you wearing a costume you created. Photoshopping a picture of a Bid Daddy's head over your own is unacceptable. That said, feel free to use Photoshop to add flair or text.

Two winners will receive a limited edition BioShock Xbox 360 faceplate (one of only 5001) and a BioShock t-shirt. Another lucky winner will receive only the t-shirt (you can use it to clean up your shame), but isn't that enough?

The contest will run from now until Tuesday, August 7th at midnight (EST). Our very own Niero has set the bar for this contest very high, so it's time to get creative. Good luck, have fun, and don't be afraid to make a fools of yourself.

My friend Felipe shot that photo -- it's a girl's face with milk running down it. I hung it proudly in my place of bitnez to fend off evil feminist spirits.

Niero you're a monster. You look like you could put a bear in a headlock.

GAWD I want that faceplate. That's the ONLY faceplate I've seen so far that I would adorn upon my 360.

I notice you said "please wear pants" and not "pants are mandatory." I've got an eye for details like that. Brace yourselves, I've got some sexy photos to take.

You know what, now I know why I don't really do alot of artsy things. I don't have time for it, I'm hardly ever home! Haha! But hey, I did the best I could and I had fun and that's all that matters. :) I had to rush it today because there was no way I would get to work on it tomorrow or Tuesday. :P

So here's what Big Daddy would look like if he lost weight and was a bit smaller...

Hi, this is my entry for the contest :)
Click over it to see a "making of" gallery (funny stuff inside) :p





Lets start saying that I'm Italian, so my english is not as good as you could expect :(
Inside the Big Daddy that you see there is, in fact, a "Little Sister" :p Her name is Enza and she is my girlfriend who helped me making this costume (expecially for the legs and arms parts!) and accepted to wear it. I have chosen to make her wear the costume because she is shorter than me and all the proportions would have turned out correctly. We *LOVE* Bioshock and therefore we have decided to participate to the contest ^__^

I want to clarify that I used photoshop just for: balance the colors, add text and flair.

SOME DATA
Fun: A LOT!
Hours spent: ~30
Days: 5
Money: some :p
Aluminium foil: 60 m (OMG!). We used also A LOT of other materials, like for the legs and arms, or for the chest shield; it is NOT all made by aluminium foil, otherwise it would be broken all wearing it.
Colors: varnishes, acrylic, marker pencils (all this stuff used with various techniques)
Temperature inside the costume: near 45° hehe
Happy for: have created this thing, it was really fun and it scared my mother more then once ^^ I'm also happy with the impact of the final image
Unhappy for: in the final pic is impossible to see all the details we worked on, like the blood, the erosions made by water, the bolts (3 type of, modeled and colored one by one), the red bottle, and so on. Perhaps you'll want to see them lookin at the gallery (click over the picture up here)!

@Sazemaster

I would like to say, that is the most georgeous thing I have ever seen. And there are some pretty good entrys here, out of them all there are only 3 that really make the cut as good entrys. And yours is probly the BEST out of the bunch.
