Description
Wow the extended cut was just announced hours ago and I'm super excited, posting this piece to mark the occasion.Link to the Tuchunka music that inspired me to do this piece: [link] thanks to the user who found it for me. That music plays on the curing genophage mission when Shepard emerges from the tunnels to see green on Tuchunka for the first time. It was a powerful moment from the last game that stayed with me.
So in this alternate future, some time after the ending to ME3, the Krogan are gifted cloned Kakliosaurs by the salarians as a gesture of goodwill and a parade is held on Tuchunka to celebrate the curing of the genophage and a move towards more peaceful relations between the salarians/turians and Krogan.
Wrex is holding his kid named after Mordin while the salarian scientist who cloned the kakliosaurs walks alongside. Grunt leads to the left with some members of Aralakh company and Eve is of course in the center because females are now running the show and keeping peace.
For anyone who doesn't remember what kakliosaurs are they were an animal species on Tuchunka that went extinct and there is a side quest on the citadel to give a kakliosaur skull to a salarian scientist for possible cloning/research purposes. There are also paintings of Krogan riding them in the underground tunnels, which is what I referenced when drawing them.

That parade music at the end of SW: Phantom Menace is playing in my head as I stare at this.

This is absolutely incredible. The detail not only in the painting itself but in selecting the light source and the consistancy of the shadows is nothing short of awe inspiring. I especially like the usage of shadow to frame the main subjects of the piece. Well done!

Amazing, but why did you quit the primarch Victus? he was in your sketch, and which program did you use by the way?

He seemed to be taking too much attention away from the krogans. Photoshop

This is great!
Although I'm not sure why you call it an "alternate future."

I painted this way back before the extended cut was announced, back when it seemed like galactic civilization was ended because of the destruction of the Mass Relays, hence Grunt and Wrex being stranded on earth.

Well, I guess now with the extended cut, that's no longer the case.

I prefer to keep the description the same as it's a reminder of why I was inspired to paint the piece in the first place.

This one's just awesome. All the details, all the krogans...^^
Great picture. Would be great if the krogans would arise once more, but this time in a slightly more peaceful way.^^

this is rad! I love the Krogan, and this seems perfect for them. I think you give the Krogan a bit too much of a 'soft side' in the flavor text, even for Wrex and his 'new vision for his people'. I'd think he'd name a kid after Shep if anyone (because shep was a bad-ass and Krogan only really respect bad-ass-ness), but thats your call ^_^
This IS a great result of digging through (fairly) obscure side info, and the whole piece is clearly well thought out and presented.
Great work!
