Description
I didn't realise until I watched the finale the second time that when Epsilon changes forms to each of the memory fragments, his words reflect the emotional trait they each represent. And so, this was born. It took me a while to get around to finishing this, because I've never used my Wacom tablet before, so I'll probably redo this at some stage.Each enlarged piece of text is reflecting on that fragment's trait - Delta talking about the Director's mind, Theta being symbolic of trust, Gamma as deceit, the angry words belonging to Omega, and creative manipulation being Sigma (I emphasised 'own purposes' for Sigma as well because it looked weird having all that text small, and really Sigma does have his own agenda anyway). Not only that, each text-type reflects their personality - Delta's is straight and ordered; Theta's is more bubbly, reflecting his child-like nature (I wanted to put in some fireworks in the background of his text, but I couldn't get them to liook right); Gamma's is modelled after the font RT used for him when he was in the computer terminal; Omega's is angry and raw for obvious reasons; and Sigma is something of an organised creativity, and I think a calligraphy font reflects this well.
Program: Photoshop Elements 10
Tablet: Wacom Bamboo Fun (Small)
Number of layers: I stopped counting after 20.
Total time: I honestly don't know. Completed over two days.

Really? God, I hate people who do that! You wouldn't happen to remember their tumblr url, by any chance?
And thank you! I've actually been planning on doing a remake of this piece at some point, seeing as it was my first digital piece and I think my style has improved so much since then.

And I love your other art pieces!

Just checked - they might have added it after you saw it, but they did source it back to my deviantart. Thank you very much for the concern though.

Hehe. Sigma's font uses sigma as the E XD
Each time this scene pops up, it's beautiful. The thought you put into this was impressive, as well.

I love how you went about showing this. It was easily my favorite part of the season as it shows so much in such a brief amount of time.

"Not all of us got away scot-free, Carolina..."
Aw man, this scene made me actually cry
This is really well set up; I especially love the eyes, they show Theta and Omega's emotions perfectly.

This is one of my favorites scenes in the series, I'm not sure why but I found it really powerful. I think your picture is a fantastic representation of it. It actually took me until the second watch through the to notice how their words represented their traits too

Nice! If I concentrate, I can hear them saying it with the voices blending together in between segments. The different fonts really do a good job at communicating a portion of their personality, especially how their personality is reflected in their voices-- Delta is clean analytical, Theta is childish and innocent-looking, Gamma is simple and not as bright as the others', Omega's looks brutal and hacked together, and Sigma is obsessed with the fragments. Really well done!

Goddamn!... I love everything about this! Especially how it actually looks kind of how I imagine Church to look! I also really like (even though it's really sad) how Theta's portion is crying. It just seems so appropriate...

I hope you don't mind me using this for a post on my Caboose Facebook page.
Don't worry, I credited you 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not at all, in fact I'm honoured!
For future refernce, though, I would suggest asking an artist before you repost their work. As long as credit is given, I personally have no problem with it, but I know that some people out there would totally flip out.
Have a happy New Year!

Wow, it actually took this image to make me realize how well the dialogue matched each AI's traits. Oh, Burnie.

I only realised it because of Theta's words - he represents trust, after all. Part of my mind went 'wait, if that's the case, then do the others work as well?' and, well this happened

Very nice! I love the thought you put into every part of this, sexually how you got down to characterizing the fonts for each emotion. Shows real hard work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my gosh! Autocorrect, I hate you! I promise you that was supposed to be especially...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't worry, I figured you didn't mean sexually.
Anyway, thank you very much! I'm glad that the effort I put in came across, I spent far too long on this piece.
