My first thought when I saw this picutre was that it's original for the fanart, everyday we so many fanart on dA which are only a copy of some screenshot, but this is something new, and what most important for me it had some principal idea on mind.

Composition is simple, but thanks to that all of picture is so clear, and understandable. What I really like in this, is so many beautiful shadows of blue. From intense and strong, through melancholy to bright and just lovely.

If I must find some flaw in this it will be that it's completly understandable only to fan of ME, but it's not really important becasue I think that general idea will be clear for everyone.

I can also write that this bright star is for me little too cute, but it had perfectly sense when we saw the star in hand of Mordin.

What do you think?

My gods... This is just spectacular.

I am blown away by the techhnique, colors, and composition used to form this piece into a work of art. The lone figure of everyone's favorite scientist Salarian, Mordin Solus, standing on the shore invokes emotion in every and any Mass Effect player. The soft hue of the ocean is beautiful along with Mordin's iconic head gear and suit, the red stripe standing out among the blue. The rolling clouds in the background appear realistic and seem to move across the piece. And, finally, that lone star in the distance, moving across the starry sky.

So much feelings for this piece. It's a gorgeous work of art I hope anyone can appreciate.

Oh if only this is how Mordin's story had ended.

Must. Not. Cry.

I love the composition, first off. There's a clear focal point in the foreground and then it draws the eye to the horizon, which is nearly indistinct from the sky, rife with symbolism. I'm sure you had that in mind, though. I have to agree with other critiques about that flashy star, it's nice in a cutesy way, but I think it detracts from the viewer contemplating that far place WITH Mordin. I really like how clear an image this is, how it conveys feelings so easily, you can almost hear the ocean if you squint a bit.

~bluekrishna Nov 10, 2012 Professional General Artist

...fail. I meant to put that up there in the critiques section. Whoops.

~Firebirdie Nov 8, 2012

This can best be described as "unspeakably gorgeous." Excuse me while I go sob my eyes out in the corner over there . . . Beautiful piece.
