Halloween is about seven weeks away. Coincidentally, the creator of this amazing costume says that it took “nearly 7 solid weeks of work”.

What you see in the video is a costume that replicates a “Big Daddy” from the game Bioshock. The costume’s creator describes a Big Daddy this way:

For those unfamiliar, Big Daddys are the protectors of the Little Sisters in Rapture, an underwater city devoid of morality which has degenerated into chaos and insanity. They are huge, fast, strong…

If you have never played the game, you can see a Big Daddy in action in the following video (but let me warn you that the video is very bloody, so don’t watch it if you don’t like blood and violence):

So, having seen these Big Daddies in the game, how would a person set about to create a replica costume in real life? This page shows you the steps, which are fascinating:

It truly is a work of art. If you want a costume that realistic for Halloween, and if you have the artistic ability to pull it off, you should be getting started now.
