There is already a thread here:
social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/11167218/1

Actually in Charlotte Su's original post in Taiwan, she explained each one in more detail. In the Bioware general discussion forum, as spoiler is not allowed, the explaination was not provided. Here I just help briefly translate it in case useful. Spiler alert though! Please note that I am new to ME3 single player, not finished it yet, and my translation is not precise, not to mention the fact that I'm not a English native speaker. Please feel free to correct my translation.


Krogan Mural (Red)

http://fc09.devianta...is0-d4uwbgm.png

This is about the destruction ending. It's in Krogran ancient painting style.

Background
Urdnot Bakara, a Female Shaman, led her people to finish this painting during the Tuchanka renaissance period. It tries to deliver the message how different species across galaxy work together; how "crystal bearer" combines with the Great Star, in order to end The Reaper War together.


Quarian/Geth Tapestry (Blue)

http://fc08.devianta...is0-d4v3ufn.png

This is about the control ending. It's in Quarian tapestry style.

Background
Due to the inorganic nature of Geth, they are the first to sense what happened in Citadel. When they helped the Quarian to rebuild their home in Rannoch, they told the Quarian how Shepard led The Reapers away from galaxy. After hearing the story, the Quarian tapestry masters decided to use their traditional art work to show their respect and spread the honor that Shepard and Legion achieved by sacrificing their lives. Some Geth also decided to use their precise technique to help embroider on the tapestry.

The story was told that: "Man gave his life to the sky in exchange of the light and rain of wisdom; Machine returned the life to mother land to cultivate seedlings and plants. They two achieved the 'big reconciliation'."
This piece of the biggest tapestry in history is hang on the location where Shepard beat the Reaper, and Legion died.


Asari Mural (Green)

http://fc09.devianta...is0-d4vcd57.png

This is about the synthesis ending, It's in Asari ancient cave painting style.

Background
This painting utilizes ancitent craft. It was painted about 10,000 years after the Reaper War, and is the 10th version of the original painting.
Due to Asari's not having the paternal line, the actual gender of the "Battle-maiden" is difficult to know. Even the weapons and armor are painted in Asari style. (Omni-tool, although still having similar appearance, is now known as the shield of nightfall god which cures the injured and communicates with the stars.)
The painting tells the story that 10,000 years ago, a Battle-maiden belonging to the "great white star" united and led different species from various territories to fight the undying dark lords and their walking dead lackey. Finally, the spirit of the white star echoed the Battle-maiden's will, showed up in green light, and ended the war.

BTW, several guys have asked Charlotte if the paintings can be put inside extended cut DLC, while there may be different intepretation, and Charlotte said that she will be glad to let Bioware use them if they want.

I just find all three murals amazing - but the asari one is dearest to my heart - just amazing.

That's really an amazing take on the whole issue. I love how she catches the different artstyles so well

Still don't like the implication that everyone's back to painting murals again, but as a piece of art...hot damn!

They are very nice. Well done, Charlotte.

Personally, I don't want the DLC to explicitly advance the timeline so far into the future, and I don't want to see a return to cave paintings. If it does though, something like this is very nice.

Ok...

I know this sounds too good (I guess) for a coincidence, but I was listening to the soundtrack when I saw this thread. I checked those murals and then "I'm Sorry" (the track) started playing. Then I saw the Asari one. As I was contemplating the beauty of that Asari mural the track kind of forced itself in my mind and I started to picture my own head-canon of the fall of Thessia.

Suffice it to say... I cried.

Damn, it's just that beautiful (and the track helped).

On their own these are truly amazing, do not get me wrong,
But when applied to the universe they are worse than stargazer and "The Shepard". Because murals of ambiguous meaning means no solid historical records means dark age. Long one.
I wish someone would dedicate the same amout of talent and caring to paint a distant future where the galaxy does not collapse and regress and actually remembers what happened.

Saw this on the older  thread, so I'm going to be lazy and repeat what I put there:

Wow theres something I thought I'd never see, something that made the endings good and artistic.

They are all very nice. I like the Geth/Quarian one best but the idea that 10k years later people are back to painting on cave walls doesn't sit right with me.

Thanks for the translations, OP. I'd seen the Krogan one elsewhere, but not the other two. These really are some stunning works.

Love the Art-Deco of the Quarian one, and Egyptian-ness of the last one.
