Description
...My wrist hurts...
A lot.
I worked on this for a week straight. Good times. It was worth it though, I'm EXTREMELY happy with the result of my hard work. The sheer rate of improvement I'm experiencing is... intoxicating to say the least.
Anyway, download size is 1280x1024, so feel free to use it as a wallpaper. Not much to explain really. Commander Shepard, the protagonist from Mass Effect and the upcoming sequel, and fan favorites Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, and Thane, getting ready to kick some ass. The title is a quote from Shepard in a trailer for Mass Effect 2, in which an NPC remarks on how Shepard is supposed to be dead, and he responds that he "got better." I think this line reflects not only Shepard survival, but the game as a whole, because it is looking leaps and bounds above the original, which is saying something. Mass Effect is my all time favorite game, and I have quite a collection. If you haven't played it yet, grab it. You won't regret it, I promise you.

Look at your men now look at me now back to your men now back to me, I'm not one of your men
now look at your men now back to me, I'm flipping you off
now look at your men, they're all dead. Why? Cause I'm Commander Shepard and Death is my b**ch

Boy do I fail, this has been out for 8 months and I just now found out it was by you?
LEGENDARY!!! Your persistence at perfection is appreciated by many as you know. Shepard's expression is iconic! By the way, this was my team first playthrough, and Tali was always on my left, too. Weeeeird.
To add a line from hindsight, Tali says "I got better", too, except she's talking about you
And buy yourself a wrist strong bracelet if you're such a perfectionist

Pretty nice work, especially on Tali! That "I got better" reference makes me laugh every time...

Is--is Thane holding the Commander hostage?
"You, go get me some lozenges, or I shoot him! And a decent backstory, while you're at it; I played Knights of the Old Republic too."

Great job on this image. I love the shadows and the work you put in on the visors and gold strips is amazing!

Great job overall!
But I think the shading on Tali is the best!

Agreed, though sadly, I think I spent the most time on Shepard...

He does have a rather smug look on his face.
Perhaps because of that time you spent on him, and knows it XD

Once again, another thing that you made that is full of win. Suprise
And look at Thane's puppy eyes, isn't he adorable?... *ahem*

I must say, you are one of the best digital artists I've ever seen in my life. The lighting, shading.....the glowing (I like that XD), everything is amazing...
I heard that the choices you made in the first Mass Effect have consequences in the second.....I suppose that's part of why its called Mass Effect.
