Description EDIT: I've added a purchasable download of the full-size version of this picture, which is 1644 x 2500px in size.

Ugh, finally, done. Still not entirely happy with it, but then again I rarely am with any of my stuff, so eh. XD I'm sure there's stuff I've forgotten to do as well (like backlighting argh), so this may or may not get updated later. But for now, stick a fork in it, 'tis done!

Garrus on Omega, just after his team's been killed but before the mercenaries start attacking him.

I've moved the WIPs of this into my scraps so they're not clogging up the rest of my gallery.

You're welcome. And you captured his despair so perfectly in that piece. Very impressive.

I'm totally obsessed with Sidonis as of late by the way. He really got under my skin somehow.

Thanks!

I can't wait to see if Sidonis shows up in ME3 if you let him live. Should be interesting!

Skyward-Dreamer In reply to skycat [2011-10-17 14:12:03 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome.

Yes, me too! You know, I have this secret dream ... to have him on my team alongside Garrus. (Because two turians must be twice as good, lol) I'm afraid the stress would kill off poor Garrus though so it probably would never happen.

But imagine him having a cameo role, you know like that mercenary lady, I forget her name, that you ran into as a social worker on Omega in the second game. Sidonis, the reverend. Now that'd be the day!

skycat In reply to Skyward-Dreamer [2011-10-17 14:14:55 +0000 UTC]

Hehehe, turian awesomeness is exponential! Therefore, having two turians on your team would be FOUR times as awesome - because not only is there the awesome of a second turian, but then the added awesome of interaction between two turians!

But yeah, poor Garrus would probably have an aneurysm. XD

I definitely hope he has at least a cameo! Though I more hope for something a little more significant - maybe some situation where he can make good on that promise of his to "make it up to you".

Well it has to be, you're right! Sorry, I'm really really awkward when it comes to maths.

And the interaction ... wooooo. Imagine for one thing all the sightseeing Shepard would do down by the sparring mat.

He he he, indeed. Because he wouldn't just have one person's six to watch out for, he'd constantly have to be watching Shepard's AND Sidonis .. in other words, he'd have to watch twelve??? Lol, sorry. Me and maths again.

Oh yes, I was only kidding, I'd love for that to happen. I can see him as a martyr, doing something where he sacrifices himself for the good of others. That's really why I want him on my team, to give him a chance to go out with a bang so to speak.

Still alive, yes. xD Sort of. Maybe? Not producing much of anything, so I'm not sure "alive" is the right word. >_>;

You're still moving and not on fire, therefore, alive. XD

Productive, maybe not so much. But alive!

Great picture. I love the detail. The blood stains, red and blue. Also love the armor, the colors on his face and fringe. How pensive he is, looking at the visor. So sad. Can you imagine, how he must have felt? I try, but...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

skycat In reply to Lady-Olivia [2011-08-04 09:21:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's hard to imagine. I figure this is before he worked out that Sidonis betrayed him, so atm there's no anger, just sadness and the feeling that he failed them all.

And I'm glad you noticed the two blood spatter colours! I was thinking of adding orange or green, but there were only two body bags in that room when you do his recruitment mission, so... two blood colours only. XD And it works better compositionally as well, I think.

Thank you for the lovely comment!
