Description “You might try then, as I did, to find a sky so full of stars it will blind you again. Only no sky can blind you now. Even with all that iridescent magic up there, your eye will no longer trace constellations. You’ll care only about the darkness and you’ll watch it for hours, for days, maybe even for years, trying in vain to believe you’re some kind of indispensable universe-appointed sentinel, as if just by looking you could actually keep it all at bay. It will get so bad you’ll be afraid to look away, you’ll be afraid to sleep.” -- Mark Danielewski

In anticipation of Mass Effect 3. Hang on, folks, it's only 2 months away.

Thanks! It's an old piece that I wouldn't mind improving a lot, but I'm glad the idea carries through at least!)))

What's that quote from? It's awesome.

As is the painting on this. The hair looks especially realistic. Very pretty!

Thank you! The quote is from Mark Danielewski's House of Leaves which has nothing to do with Mass Effect whatsoever, but this quote fits so perfectly with Shepard's struggle that I couldn't get it out of my head until I drew this

I thought it might have been from House of Leaves. That's one of my favourite books. I couldn't remember whether the line was from there or not, so entertained a momentary fantasy about Danielewski writing ME fan fiction. Needless to say, I agree that the quote works really well. You're welcome!
