Description Page five of the comic adaptation of =Spyke1985 's Mass Effect fan fic THAT'S SET IN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE. She's taken the story and written it in a totally different way, that means the characters too. So if you're not a big fan of AU's to being with, sorry! This isn't the comic for you!

It's Sunday again and that means comic day! I'm making you all wait another week for And So They Fall Because I'm mean like that And I'm alternating comics which is really what's going on

I'm one week down in these 5 week summer classes and it's been intense (I actually just took three tests because the website likes to crash and fail you any earlier than bullshit thirty at night, ie 11:30pm). I'm surprised I got this page finished especially since I'm hitting the books 8 hours a day. But WYS seems to go much, much faster than ASTF. I did the line art in 30 minutes...

Speaking of art, Spyke and I have been working on how I draw turians. I've been humanizing them WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much (like way) so I'm making a conscious effort to get the anatomy right on every turian I draw until I get it right! She was also awesome enough to use her mad modeling program skills to pose Garrus for that first panel. HIS FRINGE ISN'T PINCHED ANYMORE!

YAY WREX!

I'll will most certainly fix that here in a moment, and thank you for pointing that out! But if I may make a suggestion myself. Perhaps next time when you offer a critique, directly address what the artist has done wrong with a possible solution if you can We spend so much time looking at our work that sometimes we can't notice the small stuff (like switching an R and a T or missing a small segment of line art/color) and the fresh eyes of our viewers are a huge help! You're an artist yourself, so I'm sure you understand!

Glad ta hear of the improvements. And on a completely different matter; pointed teeth and "eager face" are a very intimidating combination.

Me too. I've been more than a bit frustrated with myself for not paying closer attention when I first started drawing ME fan art. I've fallen into a bad habit, but with the right references (and actually using them) I should break it fairly easily. Spyke used a good analogy that a turian's upper body is just like an hourglass turned with the top/bottom facing you. I have no idea how they don't fall over being so top heavy XD

And the fact that she's pretty renegade doesn't help matters D:

That was one of the things I was doing. I made their heads too much like ours >.>

Gotta love the enthusiasm. Who doesn't want a Krogan? And don't think I forgot about you drawing Wrex. I'm eager to see how he turns out.

DragonoftheDark In reply to Grusnoid [2013-06-09 18:58:24 +0000 UTC]

Haha! I haven't forgotten either! I was looking at some pictures of him earlier and I don't think it'll be too bad. Better than Grunt at least. That solid head plate will be much easier to draw than whatever Grunt has going on. With him I'd have to make sure all those pieces are in the right place

Anatomy wise... I'll figure that one out when we get there

Grusnoid In reply to DragonoftheDark [2013-06-09 19:07:54 +0000 UTC]

Well at least you don't have to draw Grunt.....Yet, still that just gives you more time to practise.

I love the Mama Shep pics I've been seeing on Tumblr where she's like his mom. So I made this sketch real quick of her reading him a pop up book about sharks in bed with Garrus sitting on the other side with this completely unamused look on his face.

I wanna finish it when these classes are done. It's kinda cute XD

Grusnoid In reply to DragonoftheDark [2013-06-23 07:17:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the Mama Shep is pretty popular. But unless it's a pop up book about various ways to kill Turians, I doubt Grunt will be invested. Still I can't wait to see it.

Grunt has a thing for sharks and dinosaurs, but other than that I agree lol I should work on that... Haven't touched it since I doodled it. Like most everything in my files.

The fact that she is showing so much teeth it's a wonder Garrus and Kaidan don't notice.

Although, canon wise, Garrus probably thinks its a strange human thing.

Kaidan is probably staring at her ass, creepily undressing her with his eyes... his examining eyes @_@ so much to see...

DragonoftheDark In reply to TutorVeritatis [2013-06-09 18:56:05 +0000 UTC]

She's conveniently always had her back turned to the team (or at least the humans) when she's shown that much teeth ;3 Completely accidental art wise though. But I'm sure Taren doesn't care too much about the whole teeth thing

But yeah, Garrus is probably thinking "Okay that's weird but whatevs" and Kaidan is just like:
