Comic book artist Alex Garner had so much fun with his Portal 2 fan piece that he decided to do his own take on upcoming game BioShock: Infinite

The result pays homage to the iconic Saturday Evening Post covers of illustrator J.C. Leyendecker
âBut after drawing my layout, I discovered that the smart folks at Irrational Games had ALREADY done this concept with a few Post parody Game Informer covers,â Garner wrote on his DeviantArt page. âBut to me they didnât look particularly like Leyendeckerâs art, who had such a distinctive style, so I said screw it and just moved forward with my original design.
âNow, my version doesnât necessarily look like Leyendeckerâs stuff either (i.e. no where near as good), but I did try make it recognizable as such in the very least while still throwing in my personal stylistic touches.â
And those touches look great, just great.
