Big Daddy Meets Ken Levine, Stardom, and Ebay

Bioshock’s Big Daddy is a phenomenon in these days of digital entertainment. The video game title has scraped up massive awards and recognition since it hit Xbox 360 consoles and PCs this year. The immediate attention has led to a large established fandom that is going strong. How large?

Well, two creative artists took the time to construct a very authentic life size Big Daddy costume and got it out on the Internet. The costume got the buzz it was entitled to in short order. Not to mention the fact that 2k studios invited the Big Daddy costume to be at the Spike Video Game Awards show as they reaped in some healthy recognition for their game.

To further the hype, the artist posted the auction on ebay, which is still running. There are 7 days left on the auction and it already has over 16,000 views. It’s an expensive costume, but hardly enough for the amount of work that went into it.

We don’t know much more about it, but did want to link the massive set of photos created for the “making of” album on this costume. Hop over and check out some of the work done on this huge achievement.
