Description I did this about a month ago but have been holding off on showing it until today since this commission was for a client's girlfriend's birthday.

The two Shepards up front are her custom characters in Mass Effect 2 and their love interest by their sides with other members she always used on the team.

The female Shep took the paragon path and obviously the male Shep took the renegade, hence the color split down the middle. This piece ended up being a 24"x36" print. Kudos to Daniel for putting a lot of thought into his girlfriend's gift. He even had to sneak around to get in game screen shots off her computer of her custom Sheps while she wasn't there.

absolutely amazing; I love the composition, the mood (I can just hear epic trailer music in the background), the style, the insane detail...it looks professional (but it already is, so why did i say that?). you're amazing.

Sir, I am quite at awe with this.

Not only is it exceptionally well drawn but also the layout and structure of the characters is down right fenomenal.
And the background contains the most spot-on SR2 & Reapers I have seen so far in any fan art.

Lovely painting, a lot of details and reasons why such and such is there, love that. The only thing which looks kinda out of place is the normandy. It looks tiny with a lot of space around it, whereas Schwarzenegger's terminator is taking up the whole right side Makes me want to see part of Schwarz and part of Normany or both of them full, instead of one cropped, one full. But that's just me being picky, it really is awesome awesome!

stevegoad In reply to Skayster [2011-02-10 16:18:00 +0000 UTC]

Thank you Hahah the terminator, yeah I'm thinking that had some inspiration for Bioware in the making of the human larva reaper huh?

Hmm, excellent point on the Normandy area. Originally I was going to fill that area with a lot of stars but I didn't make them bright enough it seems. LOL no I understand, it's like the great Leonardo Da Vinci once said "Art is never completed, only abandoned"

Skayster In reply to stevegoad [2011-02-11 09:27:09 +0000 UTC]

They could have made the eyes a yellow colour or smth to stray a bit from Terminator

Sometimes to know how to improve/complete art you need to look at the picture a week later or have someone else comment on it. Always works for me :] Though looking a few years later only makes you go "omg, did I really draw this?" XD
