ME3 concept art - What could've been

[kx_krah]

Hey all! New poster here...
For those of you concept art junkies, I found something neat on Benjamin Huen (one of the ME3 concept artists)'s cghub account... Pic under the cut. Hope this cut works.  Presenting...

Oh wow, this would have been kind of cool, actually - awesome baddie Cerberus team going toe to toe with Shepard's team!

That would have been kind of cool,indeed!

An episodic, less serious thing where you spent some time with the bumbling villains would be kind of cool. Kai Leng might not get so much hate if he was doing the same thing Shepard is, trying to keep his unruly squad together and having to deal with their bullshit on a day to day basis.

I'm a bit sad I'll never know what the heavy weapons dude with the 'stache is about.

I'm playing ME1, so this really just made me think of a scene like this:

"You know, I heard Shepard got to dump this stupid Mako thing years ago."
"Yeah, well, it's what we- HOLD ON, SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT."
"... how did you manage to flip us end over end driving up a damn hill?"
"Shut up."
"Oh hey, by the way, I have a really important thing I need your help with."
"Of course you do."

Is it me, or is there more than a hint of the team from Team Fortress in that picture?

That was my first thought, too. I wonder if that's why they scrapped the idea.

[zikadee]

Very first thought.

I didn't notice it at first, but I see it now.

Actually, a lot of these are not in the artbook. Which makes me ultra sadface.

I also love the idea of Kai-Leng having a squad. He was supposed to be set up more like the anti-Shepard. It seems only right that he'd have a team too.
