Mass Effect 3

One of the few times boyish looks sexy

^ Not everyone can pull it off, but FemShep totally can.

In case you guys haven't seen Patryk's Mass Effect 3 art yet - that stuff is effing bananas:

[Saquist]

Looks like oil paintings...man does simple yet competent work. But they have a digital quality. Oil paint can't get the hairs on Sheppards arms that fine unless you work at an insane scale.

My only criticism of his work (which is otherwise awe-inspiring) is that his Miranda doesn't look quite right.

[Saquist]

You're right...she looks like Kutty from House

I'm very excited for ME 3. Mass Effect 2 is my favorite game ever, I can't wait until ME 3 comes out.

Oh that's meant to be Miranda? For some reason I thought it was a FemShep. Yeah it doesn't look much like Miranda, but then most of the portraits don't look very much like the characters' in-game appearance either (Mordin especially.) They're just easier to identify because they're distinctive aliens.

Not to knock it mind; the guy has an excellent technique and a real flare for detail.

^ Yeah, it's Miranda. But, like you said, it's impressive work nonetheless.

The Gears fanboys would scream "copycat!" in that case I'm sure

BTW, I'm surprised you guys had difficulty telling that that was supposed to be Miranda. I thought it was pretty obvious.

What I love about that painting is how vulnerable she looks. I guess we didn't get to see her let her guard down often in the game (and no, shagging MaleShep doesn't count ).



Eye of the beholder I guess

Now that I'm replaying ME2, I do wonder what the impact will be of Aria if you've aided her with her Patriarch and the conspiracy of the mercenary gangs. Does anybody have an idea how that could impact the fight against the Reapers?

It certainly could have an impact on the broader conflict with the reapers.

Shepard will have to unite the Council races (as well as the Terminus systems maybe?) against the Reaper invasion forces, so the power struggles on Omega might play a role in that.

I think that might be working up to it for. Both Jack's loyalty mission and The Arrival DLC had rain, but not in combat proper.

Yeah, I think the context of the piece feels a little out of character for Miranda. I mean can you see her ever not being clean and well presented?

I can't see that having any wider implications outside of Aria's relationship with Shepard being affected depending on how it's handled.

We do however know that Aria and Omega will have a significant role in the upcoming comic book mini.
