It's no secret that I am a BioShock junkie, taking in every drop of media from the game much like the genetically altered freaks of Rapture take in plasmids. One of the things I noticed when I did my hands on with it at E3 was just how amazingly beautiful everything was. I spent a fair amount of time just looking at everything and marveling at all the work that must have gone into that incredible amount of detail.

The Cult of Rapture has posted a small gallery of level sketches and concept art that eventually became the beautiful and tragic locales of BioShock. Ranging from pencil sketches to fully realized paintings, the six images are a great look for anyone interested in the artistic side of this "beyond your typical FPS" game.
