Description My friend and his friend are writing a fanfic about the Shepards (Bro and Fem) as twin siblings, and asked me to create a piece of artwork for it (I don't take requests from strangers, but I'll usually try to help out a friend ).

The story itself is posted here: belledreamer.deviantart.com/ar… and here: www.fanfiction.net/s/10145666/…

Created in XPS

Models used:
Femshep by Goha(?  I think?)
Broshep by nach77
weapons by nach77

"Mass Effect" models and characters created by Bioware

If Femshep is a natural ginger...I'd hate to see Broshep grow out his hair. XD

  Yeah, that's an image that someone needs to create...    (He must dye the stubble black.  )

Lol. Instead of fighting reapers, he spends an inordinate amount of time on dyeing his hair especially the stubble.

Actually, he probably just had himself genetically modified to have brown hair, or stubble grows dark

Here's a random quote from Mass Effect Revelations:
"Their (asari) complexion was tinged with a blue or greenish hue, but pigment modification was a simple enough procedure that it was possible to see humans of similar skin color, too."

Blue humans eh? If that's easy enough I wouldn't be surprised if  they have something permanent for hair.

Well, like what Miranda said in the Citadel DLC, "The galaxy can't handle two Shepards." Because the property damage cause by both of them will be astronomical.

Thank you!    I don't really ever do much with the default Sheps, so this was pretty different, but it was fun...

It does.    You almost need shades. 

I think there's actually an extra texture in there that causes that shine.  Pretty sure this model was done by Goha.  Unfortunately her stuff isn't available anymore, and I haven't seen anyone else who's been able to get that effect with their extracted Shepards...

Haha, yeah...

That's the sad thing, isn't it? So many of the good ones disappear, but some...eeem....basic p0rn ones still stay and post like 20 pieces a day

Yeah, but the nice thing about those who offer the models is, it's not like artwork where it's all totally individual and if someone pulls their stuff it's gone forever (unless you were smart enough to save a copy to your HD).  With the models, they're all there in the game files, so when someone leaves the community and stops sharing their stuff, someone else usually comes along, re-extracts whatever's missing, and fills in the gaps.  People like Goha who were the main suppliers of models when I first got started 18 or so months ago are mostly gone now, but I think anyone who began to use XPS today would still be able to find pretty much any model they need.  It's actually better now than it was back then, cuz there's so much more available--both in terms of scenery items, and also minor characters...

Oh, that is true - I mean, so many tiny details I've seen recently, it's ridiculous Some things are even like - where the hell something like that was in a game!?

I love try to spot all the models in-game!    I just downloaded and catalogued Melllin's collection of SR-2 hangar bay items, and then loaded up the game and just spent a few minutes wandering around down there trying to identify as many bits & pieces as possible and see how they all fit together...

Oh wow...that guy really does not joke around, huh? I've always wondered how he does that  

Omg, I think I'm emotionally traumatised at the moment... You said "wandering around" the game, and I'm like - now playing Lightning Returns AND original Dark Souls simultaneously, I've honestly forgotten what it means - simply wander around since you can't really do that in either of those games.... *ozzy needs to play some ME to get back to normal

Thank you!   

I can't take credit for the red, tho.  There's something in that Femshep model, some extra texture, that really makes it pop and shine.  I don't think I've found any other Shepard models that have that...
