guys what if

Portal and Bioshock crossover? Am I the only one that thinks it's cool? That's Tenenbaum and Suchong under GLaDOS btw.

[tomatoscribbles]

would this au translate a lot easier if i just made Atlas Wheatley and be done with it? yes. am i going to do that and make things simpler and much closer to Bioshock canon? no

i am just here for a good time and Atlas very much is not so ill screw with things as much as i please

Portalshock!

or alternative title: "Portal: Submerged"

or just Bioshock x Portal works too

i am so proud of this it took so much time!

Here's without the background:

and here's a reference I did for the characters and the cool art deco gun

me throwing story ideas at a wall and trying to see what sticks below

alright so i've been thinking

I'm not sure if Ryan and Cave coexist or are they merged into one character, but Rapture or rather Raperture as I like to call it (it sounds so funny i can't) was built as a secret or not secret labolatory, just like how in Portal, Cave Johnson bought the salt mines. Probably mostly habitated by scientists and their families.

ADAM is being tested there alongside normal Aperture stuff (gels, portals etc). I believe that at the beginning, when the city was built, the company (Raperture Laboratories?) was pretty popular, gaining prizes like Aperture was, maybe the city's existence was a common knowledge too, but as the time went on and less astronauts, war heroes and olympians wanted to be test subjects, something happened, that led everyone to believe the city got destroyed? Maybe accident, maybe a cover up on purpouse?

Maybe they get new test subjects like they get Little Sisters in bio2 from the surface?

Dang, maybe the test subjects ARE Little Sisters, that when they complete testing, instead of getting killed like in portal, go through mental conditioning and became what they are in Bioshock. Or maybe not, maybe they return to the Relaxation Vault and just grow up, completing tests for the rest of time. Chell probably is one of those sisters. They might be spliced with ADAM so even if they are hurt, they can heal quickly so it's perfect for testing.

Whoever reads this, if you have any ideas I beg you to please share them I would be so glad to read those please

If you're not following these blogs I don't understand why...

[tomatoscribbles]

so with the revelation that i draw Atlas like a cat with that smile, so came these a few weeks back

[tomatoscribbles]

You draw Atlas and Jack so well :,) I appreciate this bioshock/portal au you got going on!!!

thank you so much! heres the boys tryna figure out a puzzle and talking out how to the hell to get what they need to happen up there. the eternal co-op experience

[tomatoscribbles]

My boys *sobs* they're so adorable! I love your new portalshock au!!

thank you!! these are two games that mean a lot to me, so its a joy for me to mesh them together, and im glad you like it!

[tomatoscribbles]

What does Glados look like in your portal au?

i REALLY cant draw machines (bad au to make for me then, huh) so i opted not to draw anything for this lol, but it looks abt the same! maybe slightly altered in design, but i dont know what i would change abt it other than the eye color. 

the main head doesnt get replaced in this au (prolly), so really the only aesthetic change is that the eyes goes from yellow (RYaN) to red (Fontaine) after the shutdown/transfer. i WOULD try to stay within the orange/blue color scheme of the games, but orange is too close to yellow and it needs to be obvious when its Fontaine lol

[malice-and-macarons]

I want to chime in here as well real quick like the parasite I am.

Broad ideas can’t exactly be claimed by any one person. The concept of a Portal and Bioshock cross over can’t be owned by someone. HOWEVER, just like @tomatoscribbles stated, specific elements can be attributed to a creator. For example, all the times and different ways in which Tomato has just torn my heart right out of my chest with this AU are her ideas. Designs, story specifics, plot, that sort of thing can all be claimed by a creator. But not the concept of a crossover or some broad idea like ‘and they were roommates’ or ‘coffee shop AU’.

Phew! Right, I think that’s my ranting done with.

I don’t normally post this sort of stuff but it felt appropriate in this case. I am just extremely passionate about this sort of thing and Tomato is such a darling, must protecc. Even though as this AU progresses I am sure she will damage my heart more and more.

Having said all that, more Portal Bioshock cross over AU’s would be hella cool to see! So happy creating! :>

Is Biohock 2 being covered by Portalshock as well, or would it be okay for someone to do their own Portalshock with Bioshock 2?

for starters, yes we are continuing Portalshock into the Bioshock 2 story as well, and continuing with the “Real” Atlas theme and @malice-and-macarons ruining my life, it is highly The Prodigal Son influenced as well. so Atlas is reawakened once again by the efforts of Delta and Sinclair, and more co-op, painfully-aware-of-his-own-lack-of-being-a-human Atlas, and long-suffering father Delta galore content ;) Delta’s design will prolly be the hardest part lol

but again, i DO NOT OWN THE CONCEPT OF PORTALSHOCK. no one does. its pretty much a public domain idea, and if anyone wanted to make content for it thats fine by me and not under my jurisdiction. 

i only ask credit or a shoutout if i inspired you to make content (i love inspiring others and id love to see other peoples work!), if what few designs i can lay claim over are used (like android Atlas but that one is still p vague), or you want to draw specifically MY version of the au. i love fanart and inspiring others, i always wanna know if someone draws something based on my stuff or because of me!

but other than that, go wild and do what you want. make it closer to the actual plots of both games, hell, lol, unlike me. just have fun and feel free to show me what youve done!

[tomatoscribbles]

Idk if I have ever sent an ask but!!!! I love your art and your portalshock au!!! Portal 2 and Bioshock have been my 2 special interests for years, and I also Adore The Prodigal Son, so your art and au combining all three (in many ways) is absolutely stellar!!!! I love how incredible your art is and how creative your au is!!!! Keep being stellar!!!! 😄

THIS MESSAGE MEANS THE WORLD TO ME THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

i was having a pretty crappy day when i got this a few days back, so it meant a lot to read this when i did :’) i want to make more art for both aus soon! the season is keeping me busy lol
