Great use of shadow, mirroring Shepards struggle with darkness. And those eyelashes are amazing, so detailed and lush. She looks very serious and determined, go Shepard!

Oh wow... I have to admit, I'm in total awe of digital artists, would like to learn to do that myself, but I have NO idea where or with what to start

I would suggest choosing a style that you wish to learn. For me, I take inspiration from artists like Genzoman and artgerm (also in DA). Then I go to youtube/google looking for tutorials that would teach me the basics. There are good ones around in youtube.

Thank you for replying a poor n00b
And youtube is a real blessing in terms of tutorials, it's amazing... And it's actually nice there's more than cat videos on the net

Well I do not prefer tablet over paper & pencil per se but for digital art, I prefer drawing directly in Photoshop since it would cut down on efforts in cleaning lines and inking them.
Youtube indeed has been very helpful. Livestream is also another website I would point you to. Look for your preferred artists' styles and watch them create their masterpieces live if you catch it but otherwise it's a video log wherein they would usually explain their process or you could simply observe and pick up on things.
