Description

“I am…alive” -EDI

I’ve been wanting to do an EDI fanart with Tricia Helfer's face since I knew “she” will get a body in Mass Effect 3. Galactica fans will know why ;)

While I was doing it, the Extended Cut come out, and totally loved the Synthesis ending epilogue with EDI’s speech. It was perfect for the concept I had, so I added a few things, like the blue/green color schemes and circuits. Hope you like it!

This is a mixture of 3D posing the model with Xnalara, photography edition and painting. You can see images of the creation process on my facebook page:

Everything, from the skin-looking style of the metal, to the pose and expression, and even the wires attached to her, signify what Synthesis is about to me. That is, superficially beautiful. The very fact that this doesn't look like something that (pre-Synthesis) EDI would ever do only adds to the impact - but then again, I don't know her as well as Joker does <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)"/>

Over to her face, and I feel it looks... wrong, but in a way that enhances the piece. Artificially natural, not naturally artificial like the old EDI was. Same with the rest of the body - but only if you know what EDI normally looks like. Perhaps I am just projecting my opinions of my preferred Crucible choice onto it, but isn't that possibility art's true beauty?
