Coming back from the dead is never a pretty experience. I imagine Shepard looked like all sorts of hell when she actually started breathing again.

I  hope that you have a great and blessed day/night!

This is how I imagine Shepard sounding when she takes her First breath: [link] Pause it when it starts go to 1:50 then click play and you'll see what I mean.

And yet another AWESOME concept piece from you. This is horrific and yet so nightmarishly real-feeling. Poor corpse that Shepard was... :( I was wondering actually... (don't worry I know you've not answered any of my other ramblings or requests yet) if I might be able to post this to a different Facebook page I admin. It's called Mass Effect Miranda Lawson and from day one of its creation last year, me and the other admin who set it up followed a very strict code of citation and preferably request seeking from artists. I'm very proud of the page although... it wasn't really meant to be me that became the main admin! I just wanted to help a fellow fan set up a Miranda page that wasn't ... well... you know all tits and arse... :S

Anyway this is the page and I'd love to add this piece there: facebook.com/MiriLawBringerSR2

I remember reading a gamebook (Doomwalk, book 4 of 5 in the Blood Sword series) where the player/players has/have to die (in a certain manner) in order to enter Sheol, the underworld, to undertake a quest. Near the end of the book, the player(s) was/were brought back to the world of the living by Azrael, the angel of death.

Apparently, coming back to life is very, very different than dying; it is Agony impersonified.
Imagine the unbelievable pain as the human body is physically forced to start functioning again, pumping blood and sending messages throughout the vessels and nerves...Jesus Christ...this artpiece you've created...just how much and how many kinds of emotions can you instil in a Mass Effect fan?

This is just fantastic. I can almost hear her first gasp into life. Miranda yelling for Wilson to up the pain medication. So wonderful in the emotions you've captured in one single gasp. Totally my headcannon now.

Excellent illustration of the concept of human bodies being not complete and/or not finished yet.

For me, the creep factor isn't the physical disfigurements. Its the fact that you (your Shepard) was nothing but a slab of flesh on a cold metal table... for two years. A charred and broken thing, barely recognizable as human. The clinical, Frankensteinian methods of slowly but surely reshaping that piece of meat back into a person. When did you cross the line from corpse, to a 'living' subject, to a person?

Think about how intimately familiar Miranda Lawson must have become with you for those two years, where she focused every ounce of her attention on returning you to life. She pumped your heart until it began beating on its own, watched anxiously as you took your first post-death breath, monitored every aspect of your existence with a critical eye to detail... and perhaps more. For two years, she lived, ate, slept, breathed the mission of healing you. No one can remain objective for that long. Was she cold and clinical during this spasm of pain as an electrical impulse jump-started your nervous system, were you still a piece of meat to her then? Or were you the hero she was hoping for, that just needed a few weeks, just a few weeks more of recovery, if only you can bear it, if only you can be strong enough to survive this last push?

Aw thank you. :D I think with a powerful message such as this one, little technical faults really don't register in the mind. Not mine mind anyway, I was just blown away. All the skills in the world cannot beat a powerful image. Of course, there is never stopping to improving your art skills! We all struggle terribly behind the scenes.:nuu: Looking forward to your next picture. :love:
