Excellent work!
Such a powerful picture. Maybe some details are missing (her legs could be a little more curved), but the most important part is surely the message and, in this case, it really strikes to the heart. Well done!

However, I am a optimist. I am sure that this anguish and this sadness will be soon replaced by hope, certainty and happiness. I like to think that, when Shepard will wake up from his coma (it's the least that can happen, after what he has experienced), she will be right there by his side. And THEN, tears will be shed; but they will not be for sadness.

Thanks for your kind comments! Yeah, the legs aren't very quarian like.

YES! And that is the reason why I chose the destroy ending, because that is the only ending when Shepard comes back.

artofrussell In reply to ShadowGeek83 [2012-09-25 04:51:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah! After that, I couldn't do any other endings except doing the destroy option because I know that is the only one shepard comes back alive. =/

(Shepard randomly appears before her, Tali looks up in shock)

(He smiles) "Hey Love, you shouldn't be crying. I will always find you again"

(She stands, wraps her arms about his neck, standing on her toes to reach his height)

Wow, short but awesome!!! I was thinking Tali would be searching for shepard, like what Liara did at the start of the second game. And the whole team were around for project lazarus 2.

Synthesis I assume? or a remnant of energy could be left over from the burst and that reconstitutes Shepard - healed and healthy, perhaps even without the cybernetics.

artofrussell In reply to TutorVeritatis [2012-09-25 16:56:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I guess synthesis, but I really wonder how much time it would take now to get Shepard back.

TutorVeritatis In reply to artofrussell [2012-09-25 20:57:06 +0000 UTC]

I have my own interpretation for that: a fragment of the Catalyst intelligence remains, its final purpose to be reconstituting Shepard as... a gift to the one who was willing to make the final decision to end all conflict.

EspirituMZRR6295 In reply to TutorVeritatis [2015-06-11 04:46:57 +0000 UTC]

There is also still the Shepard VI. If Shepard's essence became part of all Synthetics to make them partially organic, then the VI would be among them. In which that would mean that the Shepard VI has become a living Shepard. And if the original Shepard's essence is part of the VI, then technically speaking, Shepard himself should be reincarnated.

artofrussell In reply to Garrision30 [2012-09-25 04:53:54 +0000 UTC]

No worries! Umm, because I actually enjoyed the face of the canon Tali that Bioware gave us. Until I realised that it was made from a stock photo. In the codex it was said quarians looks closest to humans too.

Garrision30 In reply to artofrussell [2012-09-25 12:14:07 +0000 UTC]

yea i know i guess its all up to interpritation but i never understood why so many artist have taken that to mean they look like humans with with only two fingers and one thumb and diff feet and skin color but basically human. and not maid her and others more alien, humanoid.

Yeah, agreed. I have the ME3 artbook and I was really pissed they didn't use any quarian concept they had! But for this I just went for the canonical version after drawing a little. hahaha

Thank you! But it was supposed to be a random pose at first but I realised it was quite pointless to have a pinup picture of Tali because there are alot out there which is way way way better than what I can do so i went for the more emotional side.

artofrussell In reply to caporaletravers [2012-09-25 12:45:55 +0000 UTC]

YEAH! He was so touched, he decided to leave it to fate to see if Shepard survives an indirect blast, and if he did he would go back to Tali. haha

Formis In reply to artofrussell [2012-09-25 23:25:28 +0000 UTC]

I think her legs(shinbones) should be curved more, now looks too human-like. Otherwise it's great, good job.

As for Harby, I think he didn't shot down the Normandy simply because he didn't want to kill Shepard. Can't come up with any other reasonable, non-plot-hole-ish explanation.
But yeah, that scene was one of the few great (yet sad) things EC brought.

"Come back to me..."
*sigh*

artofrussell In reply to Formis [2012-09-26 07:12:14 +0000 UTC]

haha, yeah, she looks too human in this picture! I wanted to curve it more, but it looked a little weird at this pose and I'm not good an artist to change it and still make her look presentable. hahaha.

Yeah, maybe he was like "AWWWW! Thats so sweet of Shepard!" Then he realised that he was fighting against him. hahaha!

Formis In reply to artofrussell [2012-09-26 10:13:38 +0000 UTC]

No, I seriously think he didn't want to kill Shep, he wanted to indoctrinate him. That's why he stopped shooting completely during that scene, because everyone were cramped up around the Normandy, and destroying it at that point would also kill Shepard. When Normandy starts to take off it's still hoovering over Shepard so the same result would ensue. After that it's no longer a threat and he refocuses on the soldiers charging the beam again. And then of course he indirectly hits Shep to cripple him and weaken his mind to try and complete the indoctrination, resulting in that horrible ending we got.

Yay, for hopeless optimism.

artofrussell In reply to Formis [2012-09-26 16:45:36 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha! I thought the indoctrination theory was awesome. Too bad the devs thought otherwise. It could have been so much darker and mature instead of the continued multicoloured ending. But I'm kinda glad that they did the extended cut.

YES! Yay for optimism from the littlest things, like what Shepard always do.

Formis In reply to artofrussell [2012-09-26 18:23:59 +0000 UTC]

I'm gonna stay hopeful till the very last DLC, but Bioware won't see any more of my money until then, and unless some quality Indoctrination DLC pops out it's gonna stay that way.

artofrussell In reply to Formis [2012-09-27 04:44:28 +0000 UTC]

Yes!! Or at least different character loyalty missions that they missed out, like if you romanced Jack, because some characters were way too left out!

Formis In reply to artofrussell [2012-09-27 08:38:58 +0000 UTC]

Well, I think general the diversity of ME3 content depending on your pre-ME3 actions was minimal. + the mostly pre-defined dialogues. It just wasn't right. The RGB ending that was completely independent on your previous actions in the trilogy, which was the exact opposite of what they were promising, was just last drop. And of course how they decided to reveal Tali's face... No, Bioware, just no.

artofrussell In reply to Formis [2012-09-27 11:39:50 +0000 UTC]

haha totally agreed with you for all of them! Even if Shepard was to lose, we know that there would be different outcomes which would make the ending even better, like if we had high EMS, we would win at little cost. If average, we would win, at a large cost, and if low EMS, we lose, but the next cycle would have a better chance. I wished it were like that, with crewmates and ex teammates being shown in cutscenes. That would be awesome! But no. =/

Formis In reply to artofrussell [2012-09-27 18:24:41 +0000 UTC]

That's what I had in mind originally, endings being direct consequences of our actions throughout the trilogy, not any kind of choice that is detached from the rest of the series both in content and its themes.
Those would be the endings Bioware promised, not distinguishable as A, B, C because it would reflect all the actions we made, not just the last one.

Also it would have been nice if gathering the fleets had direct effect on the battle for Earth, not just numbers in EMS.
