This manipulation was made due to gracious inspiration from Jerome Jira from the Bioware community, much thanks goes to her :pc:

It's needless to say that this one was pretty challenging but incredibly enjoyable at the same time. I never quite worked with blood and damage this much before so it was also something new for me that I'd like to apply in future projects. :)
I elected to do a more 'tense' image, having the foreground with a dim blue hue from Vega's visor while the background is devoid of color with General in the middle-ground who might represent a transition between the two.
Even if we probably aren't going to encounter Collectors in ME3 again their squad tactics and smart behavior is something that we'll remember while fighting mindless husks so I think it fitting to remember them in some form... even that annoying general.

Well, that's about it! I hope you enjoy it :w00t:

The face kinda looks like Vin Diesel when he was in Pitch Black. Awesome job!

Thanks, Vega (rifle excluded) had to be derived from one concept art, the issue was that the image was done from the front view thus twisting his arms, shoulders and especially head to put him into an angle was rather interesting.
And when you see those glowing orange eyes you can already hear the 'ME death music' *shudder* Vega is in one tight spot :o
Thanks again for the feedback! :D

Wow that's quite a lot of work from the sound of it. Writing is easy in comparison! I just sit, type, and laugh at what I think are funny jokes.

I always tried to kill Harbinger before he touched the ground. Warp, concussive shot, incinerate! He'd fry :D Thanks to my Assassination Team Alpha! *strike heroic pose*

Vega just has to punch Harbinger in the head and I think he'd be fine :lol: He's a beast.

I tried writing once, but I failed miserably. I get too many ideas in my head with no way to implement them in stories thus I do these images since when I loose inspiration in doing one character I can move onto another area of the image. And while the same can be said for stories, it's just lengthier to explain everything... for me at least :)

Well, change that to Warp, concussive shot, biotic charge and you got one incredible spectacle :lol: And my personal favorite method, send out a drone to annoy the general while you and Garrus pump his head full of lead :w00t:
