Description
Got inspired to do this on my most recent playthrough, there's a moment when you emerge from the tunnels on tuchunka and see vegetation sprouting from the ancient ruins, an uplifting bit of music plays and I got to thinking what it might be like to see the Krogan rising to the challenge of overcoming their violent past in order to become a proud race once again.EDIT* here's the uplifting bit of music I mentioned titled "Hope" [link] thanks to the user who found it for me.
Also I will fix the darn baby krogan headplates, stop pestering me about it lol
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 Primarch Victus. 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.
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.

Beautiful and perfect. Little Krogans are cute. Are you going to color it digital or traditional way?

This. Is. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Tuchanka's missions were my absolute favourite of Mass Effect 3, I really loved not just to fight in there, but also to explore the locations. When you emerge from the City of the Ancients' dungeons and see the green in this great temples and ancient building, hearing that music...it was just beautiful!
And I agree, it would be cool to see the future of the galaxy races after the (bad) ending of the story: this work of yours really capture something I had in mind, and to add the kakliosaurs is a nice move (but why didn't you show kakliosaurs in-game, Bioware?!? WHY?!?!)...I really liked how you imagined them!
And Wrex and Bakara are awesome!!!!! Grunt and the little Mordin, and Victus and the baby krogans, too
P.s.: I want to see this COLOURED. NOW!

Awesome work sir

I noticed you getting criticism for the krogan headcrest growth, but I mean all of Okeer's other projects crests were formed and they would have been roughly the same age as Grunt and his crest didn't form anymore between 2-3, so even though I like the idea of the head crest formation I think bioware got kind of lazy with it, yada yada yada, so if you don't mind me asking, why did you choose to have "Eve" in the lead and not Wrex? Not trying to criticize just curious. Anyways great job, I really like that it shows what goes on in the Mass Effect universe apart from the main conflict, adds more life to it.

When you talk to Eve on the Normandy she mentions that it's time for females to take a larger role in Krogan society and it seemed pretty clear to me on Tuchunka that she's very suited to leading the Krogan given the speech she gave when Wrex/Wreave were arguing.

LithiumSpartan In reply to AndrewRyanArt [2012-06-21 20:33:21 +0000 UTC]
I'd always taken it like Wrex is in charge (pros don't use Wreave lol) but it is the influence of the females that really wins the day, but I definitely see your point

Wrex is still in charge of the Krogan people, but Eve is in charge as well together with him, gathering clans and spreading her wisdom. Both Wrex and Eve tell these things to Shepard via messages on Shepard's Private Terminal on the Normandy, after you finish Tuchanka's "campaign". ^_^

Some criticism.
The official ME artbook claims a krogan's head crest grows as he ages. Grunt's, for instance, is noticebly less formed than Wrex's. As such, one would think the crest of a baby krogan would be virtually non existent.

Oh! I love this one a lot! Very intricate details. And the unifying feel that it gives off. Not to mention the mini-Krogan right there, happily hobbling at the Kakliosaur's feet! This looks really beautiful. My hat's off to you!

You mean Bakara would never let Wrex takes his place. Besides, somebody has to take care of the kids.
