The Mass Effect franchise has always been artistically beautiful. From the sprawl of the Citadel to the streets of Omega, around every turn is a breathtaking view. The artists responsible for creating such masterpieces certainly deserve credit where it’s due, but we often forget that creating characters is also a largely visual process. Each character undoubtedly goes through many iterations before a final design is decided upon.
Today, we take a look at Benjamin Huen’s character concept art for Mass Effect 3. From James, to Shepard, and back to Javik. It’s all here.
