Or, 'Drawing Strength from Old Wounds.' A tribute to Jack, or Subject Zero, from Mass Effect.

Whew. I got unusually ambitious with the background. It took a lot of work, and I'm not completely pleased with it, but it's done. I may experiment with alternative backgrounds later. I am quite happy with how the figure turned out, though.

Colored pencil, technical pens, and white pigment pen on 14x17 bristol.

This is simply AMAZING, wow all of those details, the shading and depth. I really love Jack's expression, did you have a reference for this, either way, its mind blowing-ly good!

Thank you very much! Oh, yes, I DEFINITELY had to use references. The Mass Effect Universe art book and the Jack model references provided by :icontroodon80: were invaluable in making this picture. I never would have gotten her outfit and tattoos accurate without them. :heart: I stared at the tv screen for a long time to do the lineart for the background because I couldn't find any references for the engineering sub-deck. I changed the colors and object placement a bit.

Well you did an amazing job, I am just in awe of it really. I wish I had the skill to bring such a scene to life like you did. However I don't but it doesn't mean I can't enjoy other's work who can!

You know there is an Easter Egg that if you fail to save Jack (if she survived the suicide mission) in Mass Effect 3 from the Academy, she is turned into a Phantom. Spoiler alert :p

Yeah. Have you seen the Easter Egg about what happens to Legion if you turn him in to Cerberus?
