lowpoly mini Mass Effect scene
polycounter lvl 13
A while ago I wanted to make some little low-poly retro versions of Mass Effect characters. I was gonna do like 3, at most. But I got carried away, so here's a whole bunch of them. 
I was originally going to render these at a very low texture resolution, but I got too attached to my 512x512 work textures, so I kept them in there. I still put up an additional version of the scene with all characters at 128x128, because that was originally the point after all. You can see that version in the third and fourth pic down.
After that there's some individual closeups.
PS: Yeah I know it's a bit of a mix and match of different versions of the characters from different installments in the series, but I didn't take it that seriously, so there. :P
PPS: Crits of course very welcome and appreciated!
And here's the version with the textures reduced to 128x128:

Awesome scene, good use of the characters and really well done. I'm gonna use the first shot as my wallpaper at work.
These so need to be put into a working game. . .
p.s. I love how you've captured the characters with poses and props!
Saved for inspiration folder!
PS: That mini-Liara is the cutest thing in the web ever.
Really gorgeous work. Your flats are amazing to look at even without the model. Ace job on this!
mini wrex looks badass
i want those minis for my desk
This is as cute as it's awesome!
Love the mini Tali.
Job well done!
That's a very good point actually. I've updated the lowres scene in the original post to use 256 for the reaper. Thanks!
Same shit im sayin!
Awesome work!
could release a papercraft version of your mini scene please ?

Lol, pretty damn awesome, can't believe how clean they are, and so low poly too. Awesome.
