Description This isn't the end... No. It isn't over because you kill me.
What you kill... What you kill is a shell, but an idea?
An idea doesn't die.
Every word I've said will be remembered.
No, I don't think I've failed... No...
Nothing happens before it's time, but in the words of Victor Hugo:
'Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.'
If you don't believe anything I've said, wait until tomorrow.
Yeah... Wait until tomorrow.

Have you ever disappeared...
Reappearing everywhere, but there is sorrow?
Melt into a single tear...
Will I have to sing away until tomorrow?

Don't cry, baby...
Don't cry, Angel...

"Wait Until Tomorrow" by The Bullitts Feat. Tori Amos And Lucy Liu
Not the whole song, which can be found here: youtu.be/5F8dSX1nP5A

I just feel like that song is so my Natashya Shepard... Her ending for me had to be destroy. As much as she loves Tali and would want the Geth to help the Quarians, her need to destroy that which has hurt her and protect those she loves overcomes her. She wants the Reapers gone, and she'll sacrifice anything and anyone to do it. Controlling them would mean she'd be forever attached to those she loathed, and sacrificing herself for a possible harmony was not an option because it was only POSSIBLE. She needed to know it was over, that the Reapers were gone for good. So she destroyed them.

And that's today's sketch card! c: Done in Microns and Prismacolor markers.

That's surprisingly matched to Mass Effect isn't it? I'd go with it being ME2 - she dissappeared and came back to find everywhere is sorrow. Melt into a single tear might almost be the ending of ME3 - sing away until tomorrow? Control ending. But yeah. I can see either way it's got strong Shepard feels!

Given this is the Destroy Ending you've got going on, I would like to ask if I might add this to the albums of a Facebook page I admin called "Mass Effect Female Shepard" - we have an album specific to endings fanart. I like yours because the FemShep you've drawn is not the elegant, sexy somehow-still-hot-whilst-covered-in-blood one I might find elsewhere. She looks hard. She looks brutal. She looks angry. She looks like she's damn well been through it all, and had enough. Once and for all.

She looks like death warmed off, and probably isn't that far off, and that works.

Thanks!! I looked up a reference to pull a little from, though luckily the straight forward perspectives aren't too bad. xD I have issues with the slightly up or down or holding things perspectives... And all the other ones. I have issues with perspectives. I won't lie. xD

Dude, don't we all?? I struggle with that junk all the time! Refs are the only way to go sometimes. Sometimes I have to take pics of myself in the poses just to make them work.
