Description
General Jardan Krassus - Hero of the First Contact War, he was a junior officer when the human counteroffensive on Shanxi caught the invading turians off-guard. Holding his platoon together after the death of his commander, Krassus earned the unshakeable loyalty of subordinates and superiors alike through his exceptional endurance and charisma. Now, he leads a terrorist organisation bent on exacting revenge, not only against humanity but the turian leadership who dishonoured the sacrifice of his men for the sake of galactic politics.

This is a WIP shot of the first section of a grand composition which will eventually be the cover art for my Mass Effect novel, Interceptor. The story is an original espionage thriller about a young turian C-Sec officer drawn into a galaxywide conspiracy set shortly before the first game. If you're interested, you can view it here: www.fanfiction.net/s/6928581/1…

This is the first time I've been able to draw the multitude of original characters portrayed in this story, which is something I've been wanting to do for a long, long time. As you can see, the armour is yet to be completed and the face paint is just a barebones reference layer, but I was so pleased with the progress so far I just had to share it.

Krassus is a venerable old turian general - a soldier's leader - and I wanted to reflect that by giving him a broad face and long upper lips/lower jaw to give him that physicality. I coupled this with thick but sharply-angled cheeks to give him a touch of severity without making him look gaunt. I'm quite pleased with the overall uniqueness of his facial structure - for a turian, anyway - even if it looks a bit odd in places compared to say, the in-game models.

There are a hell of a lot more characters to come, so stay tuned.
