the idea behind the N7 stuff is firstly an experiment and practice on form and colour but also i wanted it to look like a series of painted tributes to shepard in a museum like after she saved the galaxy and stuff
work like this is encouraging me to go crazy with mark making, and it's helping! my work is starting to look less static. I could never get it quite right while I was studying.
Seconding TeamLando I would love this on my screen (not that it isn't occupied by your another piece. Also, Shepard Tribute Museum made it into my headcanon now. I love how her face is all realistic, but the rest of her body not, which is especially visible with hair (amazing, by the way). And that little Reaper is cream at the top.
Definitely better than your previous one. Has more contrast and it is kind of abstract (..and I love abstract stuff ). Also, the reaper symbol is neat, but it's bottom part needs to be more... visible I guess, becasue it kind of bleds with the background. Also, why the blue face? I believe white would fit nicely.
I super love these impressionistic/modernist smash-paintings of Mass Effect characters! It is by far the most interesting art I've seen done for the game.
