I recently replayed Feros and realized one important thing: it’s been a hot minute since I last played Mass Effect 1. The whole vibe of this mission felt a bit unsettling right from the start. Like, seriously.
Those grim, crumbling docks where the Normandy lands against the dusty Feros sky… When I got a moment to do the side quests — looking for food, restoring the water supply, and destroying the geth transmitter — I went back to the docks just to stare at the scenery. Those clouds of orange dust literally make you feel suffocated, yet it’s so mesmerizing!
The anxiety started creeping in the moment I met the colonists. I wasn't even surprised when I found out about the secret experiments being done on those poor people.
But things got truly terrifying in the basement on my way to the Thorian, right when it spit out an Asari clone to talk to me. Major creeps. But the design of both the clone and Shiala herself looked so stunning that I just had to draw them ><
Initially, I planned to make a simple sketch, like I did with Shepard and Tali. But then I felt like experimenting with something new in my drawing style and canvas composition. I saw some artists copying the line art to a new layer and using it as a decorative element. Well, what can I say? Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!
- Embrace eternity, Shepard. 💚✨
