Gotta love this guy!
So, this is before he was cyberneticized is it? Very cool! And you added some tatooes to his face as well? Awesome!

Well it's a work in progress... taking forever so i have almost given up... but this is supposed to from the Virmire confrontation with Saren... the lack of cybernetics is due to being a WIP, so the "tattoos" are actually the base for the cybernetic implants
Thanks for commenting.

Oh, I see. I bet that's a neverending project. It's brilliant though!
Right, sorry about that. 
Welcome, I couldn't resist.

He he, wonder if anyone has done it before...
"Pre-indoctrination Saren"... That'd be interesting.

(Then I guess I'll have to be the first, won't I? 
No, but seriously ... he should have been fully turian in the first novel, I think that was set about 20 years prior to the first game. He looks perfectly normal on the cover at least.

(Then do it!
Never read any of the ME novels, but i think i can recall having seen the cover once.

Ha ha, thanks!
I've actually been taking down TONS of ME notes over the past couple of months ... just in case I'd ever feel confident enough to try to make something with them. Incidently, exploring pre-indoctrination Saren is one of the ideas I've been working with.
I've been doing Halo parodies for nearly two years now so I'd really like to try something else for a change.
Oh, he looks absolutely gorgeous on that cover. Let me find it for you. [link]

Well judging from the Halo parodies i guess ME parodies would be pretty great (especially if you were to put Legion into there as well, he's my ME2 Favorite!
Ah yes I recall the blue glowing eyes, and remember mostly of the cover, thanks!

Well, that's the thing ... my ME projects aren't parodies at all, quite the contrary. They're serious with a hint of humour to them, that's what makes them so different. I'd love to do parodies though but I'm not getting any ideas. Well, I've had two ideas that would fall into that category.
Lol, did you read the notes Shadowbroker had on him? I laughed so hard when I read them.
I'd like Saren to have yellow eyes, that'd make him appear somewhat aquiline ... and magnificent.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
And yes Yellow-Orange eyes would be a strong but pretty remarkable color in contrast to his blueish appearance!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know! It would give him an irresistable, piercing gaze, just like a bird of prey ...

He he, think i gotta try make a character with such features

Hmm, given that ME is more serious and darker than Halo, I guess it won't be a problem ; )
Sadly I haven't played any of the ME2 DLC's But when I heard of the PS3 announcement and it's extra contents, I thought it might be a great deal when it comes in stores

No, but it'd be great to do some comedy too.
I see, well I just recently got the Shadowbroker DLC myself thanks to a friend who kept hinting about it, at the end of the mission you get to read dossiers on all your team mates. I just loved Garrus dossier, but they were all great. Hope you get to see them soon.

Especially if you put it in between serious stuff... Like batteling the human Reaper larva, low on ammo and outnumbered, at the edge of defeat(or just drop all that and go straight to the point), Garrus looks up at the Reaper... "Oh God!... It's Drooling!"
*Human Reaper Larva Drools*
Also visualizes the fact it's not complete... Making it appear retarded

Lol! Oh my God, that was like the anticlimax of the millennium for me! xD What the HELL ...!?
You know, the first thing that came to mind when I saw that thing was that movie string featuring the Terminator, only in XXXXLLLLLL.
No, but it's really hard thinking of funny moments. I think they'll be more subtle than that.

He he, i spoiled it for myself by peeking trough the artbook... but still yes COSMIC TERMINATOR!
BUT IT WOULD BE SOOOO FUUUUUUN!
..Basically because i have an undefined random humor that couldn't even be defined as a sense of humor at all

Ha ha, oops!
Lol, I feel that way too sometimes. I have to scratch a large part of the most insanely bizarre ideas, he he. Like I had this REALLY weird idea for how Shepard would treat Meln (the turian harassing an asari dancer on Afterlife's VIP section) if there'd been an option to follow him home. I ran it by a DA friend and he was shocked!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He he... Bizzare... Nah that's just stalkerish creepyness (now i imagine Shepard standing outside Meln's apartment just staring inside with big creepy eyes Oo)

Ha ha, nooo it was far greater than that, they ended up in bed, or rather he did ... and then some!

Aha i see... Unexpected Oo

Totally! You have no idea ...

I'll put some effort into it and push on, and hopefully complete it one day!

Better to work on it slowly, bro.

Well as long at it got your "sexy" approval, I'll be taking this slow and easy... one day it'll be complete

he looks amazingly like a DJIN!!!!
Sireously tho..get it over with dude!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's because of Bioware's inDJINious concept artists! XD
By time my friend... by time...

He he, thanks... even though it could've been even sweeter if only I used a higher res
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
that is way epic o.o
how'd you get that rough detail into his face? its amazing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
I used a custom texture, based on a photo of a rough surface I took.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
great idea! thats what I guessed, but I was unsure. I will keep it in mind
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He he, it's always useful when it comes to the details that would kill you if you were to do them all manually
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks man... still I wish I had done it in a higher res... only if my PC could handle it, that is.
