:sigh: I'm going to have to take a crack at Dragon Age now, aren't I?

EDIT: Okay, thanks for the feedback, everyone, I've fixed the whole "Shepherd's face" issue to the best of my admittedly feeble abilities.:salute:

EDIT 2: I will do a "FemShep/Kaiden lives" variant at some point in the future. Just not right now... feeling like I've had my fill of Mass Effect for the moment...

The most striking quality of this art is its ability to capture the very essence of the game it represents; from juxtaposition of imagery to the colour palette, the themes and ideas of each game are reproduced in an authentic way. Together, they show us the overall progression the trilogy has taken.

In the first, the Normandy/mass relay reflects [our] Shepard's first steps in exploring the corners of the cosmos. The second switches heavily to a focus on characters – specifically crew members - and Legion/Tali stand conflicted as a symbol of the geth/quarian struggle. By the third, Shepard has arrived at his crossroads, and the signs are not altogether very optimistic.

Imagery of Shepard also serves as the avatar of his general psychology in each game. Firstly, relatively unprepared. Secondly, under the watchful eye of the Illusive Man, unsure. Thirdly, hardened, defiant.

Apologies to the author if this is considered to be an over-analysis, I was struck by how true to the series this piece is and felt compelled to share. Good job!

The art work for all three is just beautiful, you can tell a lot of work went into each piece. If Bioware had done things like for their cover for the games then I am pretty sure they would of sold a lot more games, I do think it would be nice to see a FemShep version cause Male Shep is always getting used and I seriously think that he has been over played quiet a bit. Still I can not find a single fault with these at all, the colors are perfect for each piece. You can actually feel the emotion from the characters and the struggle they went thru. Not to mention seeing the friends and enemies that were made also makes it just as strong of an impact than anything.

I absolutely love these posters

Reminds me so much of Drew Struzan's work on posters like Star Wars or Indiana Jones
