The Last Supper 2.0

Description

This is a new version of my first Mass Effect - The Last Supper.

I did this new one for the Bioware Art Show Case at Comic Con 2011.

I imported all models from the game into 3DS Max, textured, posed and rendered them. The final editing was again done in Photoshop and except for the plates, the rolls and fruits, the planet in the background and the tablecloth, everything seen in the picture is from the game.

The download is a ZIP-file and contains 4 JPG-fles in different resolutions.

1920 x 1080
3840 x 2160
4096 x 2304
and
17408 x 9792 <-- this file is the one I entered for the showcase. The resolution should allow print in poster size at a copyshop of your choice and all four files have 300dpi.

If you can, try to avoid viewing the picture in the Microsoft Picture Viewer because for some reason it screws up the colours and the quality. May depend on the version of the picture viewer I guess. Not sure about this.

I should also add, that shadows are not clearly visible in the smaller file versions since I made this picture mainly for print in the 17408x9792 resolution. So yes, as pointed out here in the comments, lights might look a little flat in the wallpaper resolution. Sorry about that :/

I am including the description of the apostles again, slightly changed since I tried to stick close to Da Vinci's original this time.

Shepard
He is in the spot where Jesus sits in the original picture, and he has just announced that one of the people around him will betray him.

From left to right:

Jack
I posed her as Bartholomew, jumping up and trying to leash over at TIM, who she suspects to be the traitor. Bartholomew is also standing in the original picture.

Thane
I posed Thane as James, son of Alphaeus. He is trying to hold Jack back while turning his head towards Shepard, being suprised at his announcement.

Jacob
Jacob is Andrew, raising both of his hands and turning to the side, towards Shepard and the others, as if he was trying to say "Hey, it will certainly not be me."

The Illusive Man
TIM is basically Judas, the traitor. In the original picture, Judas holds a bag of silver and is reaching for something on the table. I chose a glass of alcohol to represent him, because he always drinks in the game, while his other hand is reaching for a datapad on the table, as if he was trying to take it without being noticed.

Miranda
Miranda is Peter. There have always been discussions about who second in command to Shepard is. Officially, it is Miranda, since she is doing all the paperwork and reports and the like. But Garrus is the one Shepard can trust the most (from the friendship standpoint, if you have recruited him in the first game). Also, I see her as very loyal to Shepard, and not so much to TIM.

Garrus
I posed Garrus as John, who was said to be Jesus' "favorite apostle". In Da Vinci's picture, John sits quietly next to Jesus, his hands folded, being at peace because he knows that no one will suspect him because he is totally loyal to Jesus. I chose Garrus because of his loyalty to Shepard.

Mordin
Mordin is James the Greater, opening his arms wide trying to create a barrier as if he was trying to keep the others from crossing a certain line.

Tali
I chose Tali to pose as Thomas. Thomas was the one who doubted Jesus' resurrection. When you meet Tali on Freedom's Progress, she will be convinced it is Shepard, when you ask her about the Geth data. Thomas, in DaVinci's picture, is actually raising his index finger in a warning gesture. I changed this a little, now Tali is pointing hers at either Shepard as if she was trying to say "I told you, you can't trust Cerberus" or at TIM, pointing him out as the traitor. I'll leave that up to you.

Zaeed
Zaeed is Phillip. I chose Zaeed for this pose because it kinda looks like he is turning to Shepard, saying "Hey, I may not be a good guy but I am no traitor"

Kasumi & Joker
I posed Kasumi as Thaddeus and Joker as Matthew, both of them turning to Liara (Simon) asking if what Shepard just said, was true. Both, Thaddeus and Matthew turn to Simon in the original picture, looking taken aback while trying to find out if it's true or not.

Liara
Liara is Simon. Since Liara is the new Shadow Broker and knows everything that is going on in the galaxy, she may be the one who knows if it was true that one of them would betray Shepard and if so, who it could be. I think her pose shows pretty well, that she doesn't know.
