Film industry artist Tim Warnock it seems has a passion for BioShock, and as such has created a series of paintings of the Rapture universe. The results are stunning -- too bad we can't get this guy working on the film adaptation, as it's in poor shape at the moment.

Tim Warnock, a matte painter and a concept artist working in the film industry (Watchmen, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I), has posted several gorgeous paintings showing his vision of BioShock's underwater city, alive with flashing neon signs and jutted with skyscrapers.

These shots of Rapture were briefly featured in design company Eyeball's 2007 commercial for the multi-platform first-person shooter. Even though they appear for only a few seconds, paired with Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea", the artwork manages to effectively set the scene with the short amount of time alotted.
