Description I had wanted to do a wallpaper of Mordin for a long time and now it's finally done!

I wasn’t sure if I liked Mordin at first in Mass Effect 2…but he quickly grew on me after chatting with him. He really made you stop and think if the Genophage was a good or bad idea. And of course his scientist salarian song and informative sex advice about Turians really made me love him.
I think the whole Genophage cure part of Mass Effect 3 was a work of art. And even though I love Mordin I thought his death scene was so heroic and beautiful…I was just so full of sadness… but it wasn’t necessarily a bad feeling.

So I really took my time with this wallpaper until I was sure that I couldn’t improve it anymore. And when I thought I couldn’t improve it anymore… I wouldn’t look at it for a week so I could look at it again with fresh eyes.

And watch right after I upload this... I'll find something to fix. I just know it! Haha


*I took all these screenshots while playing Mass Effect 3 which belongs to Bioware.

*I uploaded 2 versions of this wallpaper
this is the cool color version
the warm color version is here--> [link]

Thoughts? Suggestions? Please?

Thank you for your input ! I actually considered putting that quote there somewhere. But I noticed that the "model of a scientist salarian" quote had been used in a lot of other art pieces. So I decided to keep it simple. It was hard fitting the text in there without it swallowing up the whole scene haha.

yeah,i get that
that's because (as you know) it's probably most famous Mordins quote and represents him very well.

I like the cool version more by a pinch, they are so good I couldn't decide. Mordin's death made me love him more then I thought I possibly could. I almost cried when he died, I was so upset that I couldn't save him. I looked up on how to save him.....(why would they do that x.x). This is so beautifully done that it has replaced my Liara wallpaper. I just loved learning about his character in the game. One of the few that has so much depth to him.

Thank you so much! I am so thrilled that you are using this as your actual desktop wallpaper .
And I actually am thinking of making a new Liara wallpaper. She has really grown on me through the games like Mordin has. They are very well written characters.

If you did, I would be forever happy! I didn't like her at first but she has grown on me in so many different ways

I got super teary eyed.. felt like crying too. But I think I was too shocked that it happened and there wasn't really anything Shepard could do

Mordin was awesome.. When the moment came that he died I was bawling my eyes out and my feels were scattered all over my desk ;_; Till that point I didn't realize how much he grew on me.

I totally understand the feeling. An amazing and well written character. Some people think it's silly to cry over a video game. But you have to compare games like Mass Effect to amazing books or movies for other people to understand the effect the characters have on people.

LaPareidolia In reply to BearMaster9013 [2012-09-22 19:49:49 +0000 UTC]

haha! I agree. Just fabulous writing though! It honestly allows you to just forgive ME3's mistakes and enjoy the wonderful moments ..even the sad ones.

Aaaah so awesome! I've noticed that a lot of Mordin art is done in very warm colors, so this is a refreshing departure from that. Also probably the best Mordin "goodbye" wallpaper I've seen.

LaPareidolia In reply to KatieCannibal [2012-09-12 05:53:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! That means a lot . This was the original color scheme I wanted to go with. I wanted a heavenly/peaceful feel to it I guess . But yeah both versions work.. so I uploaded both to see what most people preferred.
