Description Biotic Tai-Chi

Under Vega’s watch, Shepard’s doing her daily biotic tai-chi arfter an hour of running to keep in shape while under Alliance’s custody.



This pre-ME3 scene is based on Sage Queen’s “Ragnarok”, Chapter 2 [link] .

In drawing, I test some tinting methods on the b/w sketch, use mutiple layers to apply colors and lights, however, all attempts have turned out to be interesting failures. It's quite difficult to balance the values and determine proper color in same time without reference.

Biotics would have made quite the splash in he Martial Arts, being able to change your mass at will.  Imagine the already legendary Wing Chun chain punches being biotically augmented?  Or a biotic powered Ippon Seoi Nage throw?

Pic fav'd, but I fear I'm not a Shep/Kaiden shipper so the fic is of no use to me

A very nice, not to mention original, scene. I must say though that my favourite aspect of it is the background - I love how you've achieved that rich, soupy early morning light, highlighting the buildings with just a few soft colours and lines. Very effective.

thanks for your review!
Aerial perspective is quite difficult to handle though, I still know little about it, just used round brush with 20% opacity to soften the contrast, and fine-tuned the background with some burn effect.

And while in custody for war crimes, the Alliance is nice enough to let Shepard keep her space iPod while practicing her space magic that she can use to kill her captors and thus escape. XD

In the Fanfic above, this "iPod" is the key device which she used to received infos from Liara under the guise of Alliance chapel broadcast.
And since there's no alternative but to destroy the relay, and she did turned herself in, plus some help from Anderson, top brass will relent on her "crimes".

Yep, would be fun if Bioware introduced some of them in close fight.

The N7 and specter training must involve proficiency at using various martial arts, so I brought this up.

Ash did mention Marine hand-to-hand in the first game so it makes sense.

sure it is, with slow rhythm and free flowing energy, seemingly effortless, but in fact it require highly physical & mental control.
