Description
An illustration for ~kanelam 's wonderful fanfic 'Holding On to Let Go'.Quite possibly the darkest interpretation of Shepard and Liara's relationship, the story shows how Liara began her path towards her role in ME2, and how far Sheena Shepard is willing to go to put her past behind her.
That's something I really wanted to show with this pic - Shepard is facing towards the light - the future. She may not always be successful in her attempts, but she is at least trying to put her past behind her.
Liara on the other hand, has for the first time been exposed to the darker side of the world, and has taken her very first step towards becoming the Liara we see in ME2.
The smoking gun represents an event that forever binds the two together, and also sets them off on their very different paths.

I love the textures and the symbolism. You've gotten the color of Liara's skin just right, as well as the contours of the ridges of her neck, the waves of her head-crest, and the tiny, fish-scale-like scales on her head-crest.
There are two things I noticed:
*The scarring on their armor looks a little superficial. Somehow, the scarring doesn't look like it's blended in with the armor
*Liara's expression is a little off. I can tell that she's supposed to look like she's sad, worried and distraught, but it looks like she's making a "sour-face" along with those other things

The look on Liara's face is perfect for the setting. I also love the smoke coming out of the pistol. It really caught my eye.

Amazing work as always. Love the story behind the pic, well as much as you can love a story where Liara is heading down the dark path

I like the emotion generated by the back to back, so close yet so far, with the fire at Liara's feet telling you she is going very close to the fire.
