These pieces were done by Polish artist Patryk Olejniczak, and were born of his desire “to make one of the best [pieces of]fan art (which would also work as promo or poster art) to be had”. You’re getting pretty close, Patryk.
While he uses screenshots and character art for reference, Olejniczak says that he doesn’t rely on things like tracing, 3D models or painting over screenshots to get these results. These are simply digital paintings. Beautiful digital paintings.

Monday, February 28, 2011 at 8:12 AMThat Shepard one is incredible.

Monday, February 28, 2011 at 8:28 AMThis guy needs to do a poster like that, of Jack.
Jack in that much detail would be brilliant

Monday, February 28, 2011 at 9:14 AMWhile that sounds like a good idea, I think the tattoos are too hard to do. I haven’t found much fan-art of Jack.

Monday, February 28, 2011 at 5:49 PMI would actually love to see one of the starter Femshep and throw one in of Tali as well. These are gorgeous beyond all belief – and I definitely have a soft spot for Thane.
I hope he makes it to ME3. I want a cure!
