Mass Effect - A Distance Erasedby *ghostfire

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Games

Closeups here:

Alt. Version here:

"Then, we're going to retire somewhere warm and tropical and live off the royalties from the vids..."

If Shepard won't be granted a proper hero's death, then I'll give her a long, happy life.

The title is from Vienna Teng's "Eric's Song". It's one I listened to quite a bit while painting this piece, and, since I'm working on both a Shepard/Tali (85% complete) (edit 4/20/2012 - now finished and linked below) and a Shepard/Liara painting (10% complete), I can't help but connect the lyrics to all three relationships.

As far as Garrus's appearance - yes, I've seen the ubiquitous nude turian concept art piece. I've got the art books, though, and quarians had half a dozen facial concept sketches - none of which turned out to be what they went for. No nude (or even shirtless) turian ever appeared in the games, so I mostly worked from my own concept piece done two years ago (to the day):

There's a "perfect ending" in which Shepard and the crew lives (you have to get 5,000+ ems) I thought it was perfect considering at the end they land on a planet that looks very tropical

This is how I imagined it would end for them too

love this picture!

I prefer more ThaneXShep romance but this picture is so awsome that it seriously makes me think again Ö.Ö

That was the first time a video game made me cry. No kidding >.<
Also, I'll just leave this here - [link] XD

I actually started crying when I saw this photo. I just recently replayed the ending of ME3 and when I realized that my Shepard would never have this, it just broke me. Truly beautiful work. Thank you for making this.

Mind if I gush for a moment? No? Awesome.
You are an amazing artist. My stuff looks like childish scribbles compared to your Mona Lisa's. Seriously.
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the rest of us plebs, and I hope to see more ME artwork... pretty please?
