New Contest for XBOX Users: Genetically Enhance your NXE Avatars!

[Kyburz]

Anyone who has downloaded the "New XBOX Experience" is famillar with the Mii-like avatars you can now customize. Though the options for customization are somewhat bland at the moment, they do still offer some cool opportunities to recreate characters from the Bioshock universe. Everyone from Andrew Ryan to Paprazzi is fair game, so let's see what the creative minds on this forum can come up with. To start things off, here is my current avatar, Rapture's greatest artist, Sander Cohen.

And just to make things interesting, I will give the person who creates the most interesting avatar a code for a free month of XBOX Live Gold! This is not an officially sanctioned 2k contest, just a little thing of my own. I will choose a winner on December 1st.

[BioSoldier]

This is a really awesome idea. I like the Sander Cohen you got there. I for one am not going to participate but it will be interesting to see other peoples Avatars.

If only we could make a Big Daddy..

[BioShock Freak]

Heh, I saw your avatar and I thought it was very cool! I didn't make a Bioshock-inspired avatar, but I'd like to see what others can come up with. (I might just try it out, though. )

Ok, since I never have anything better to do, I decided to give the Bioshock avatar thing a try. Lol. I didn't keep any of them, just wanted to share them.

Here's Tenenbaum:

[Unorthodox]

Just FYI if you save the avatar and then go to:

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/YO...vatar-body.png

You can get the picture up like this:

Which you can then save on the PC and build up a collection

My Post Count is at 7-11. Anyone want a slurpee? Big Gulp? Mini Taquito?

[Atlas.]

Here are my attempts: (pics didnt come out too well.. my camera was about to die as well which didnt help)

Fontaine:

Atlas (supposedly =P):
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y30.../DSC00547a.jpg


Needs more customisation though imo, more costumes etc for example

[BioShock Freak]

Lol, nice ones Atlas. Your Fontaine looks like my Fontaine. Came out good, though, I like them.
~Mari.

[Atlas.]

i know Saw yours was like aww you already did it lol

Couldnt get any of the clothes i wanted so doesnt look too good so he looks a bit more modern than i wanted but it'll do it guess =P

[Puddle]

Would you kindly announce the winner?

[Kyburz]

I want to thank everyone that participated in this thread, whether by commenting or submitting entries. I might just have to run another little contest for the Bioshock community sometime soon. :-)

Now with that said, Bioshock Freak wins! Although she made several amazing entries to the thread, her Bridgette Tenenbaum was I think the best single entry.

2nd place goes to Bioshock Freak's Frank Fontaine 3rd place goes to Puddle's Yi Suchong.

Just because the contest is over doesn't mean that you can't still post some more Bioshock avatars, I have a couple more planned myself. :-)

[Cohen's Masterpiece]

hee hee, those avatars are great... I wonder how i could make cobb...

[MushroomBoy]

i think the suchong with glasses, and mari's cohen were the best. so was the first cohen posted. pretty slick.

good all around, tho.
