Mass Effect 3 - Shepardby ~patryk-garrett

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Conceptual

Personal art of Mass Effect.
The second picture featuring Shepard

The very goal behind this was to depict Shepard as a leader. To capture him in a moment of decision (so important for ME games) or inside struggle with the consequences of his actions. The empty gaze and dark gloomy room are to emphasize the emotional aspect of it. The blood and wounds are to show that he has been through battles and skirmishes (2nd important thing in ME games). All in all, the whole piece is less effective in terms of action, but leaves the viewer with something to ponder on.

Just like in the previous arts this was made to look like an offical artwork (just think of of as if it was an actual cover for the game box, artbook or poster. You can even check and see that this image would fit perfectly for Mass Effect section on BioWare site

).

No photo tracing, overpainting or 3d models were used here. I only went for a reference for hands position (not for the details), and ME2 screenshots. Lots of details stayed in the dark while others were heavily exposed, this is because I wanted to keep it in high contrast and "atmoshperic". Have to say that I had a lot of fun creating this picture, and I learnt alot, especially with lighting the skin which is hit by an artificial light. The original size is A4 with 300dpi. This is the fan and"skills-showing" portfolio art, so no copyright infringement was intended.

Congratulations on another stunning piece. I can ony dream of having your talent, my friend. The mood, thoughtfulness and ambivalence in this image are all very tangible!

Really focuses on Shep's humanity and the weight he has to carry....a classic piece.

The emotion in the picture is unbelievable. You captured the great Commander Shepard in a very human moment, which a lot of people have seemed to forgotten that he still is, very much, human. WONDERFUL job!
