Do you want to start reading?
Mass Effect characters belong to Bioware.
Iโve been reading many ME1 and ME2 fanfics for almost a year, so if anyone spots something familiar, do tell me and Iโll be delighted to quote the author+fic that inspired it

I'm just sitting here, giggling like an idiot over these two.
Such a lovely collection of strips! I love how you capture their facial expressions - and kudos to your boyfriend as well for the hand photos. All those tedious little details are spot-on

Thanks a lot for your lovely comment!!
I'm glad you like their expression and the hands (I'll send your kudos to my boyfriend, I'm sure he'll appreciate them).
Ohm yes, details drive us crazy, don't they?

I can't even count how many things I absolutely adore in this comic of yours. And that sounds so wrong, calling it a comic (apologies to the comic fans), it feels like pure ART that should have its own name or category or...I don't know, should learn how to express myself for a change.
The reason I commented though: your work with hands. I could stare at panel 3 and 4 for hours. I never understood the concept of admiring anything art related, always tried to rationalize as everything else. Your little wonders, like how you depict a pair of hands or a longing look or a fucking oversized shirt tought me how to simply embrace and relish it.
Don't care if I sound sappy, you have my thanks. Don't ever stop!

First of all, sorry for the awful delay in my answer. Secondly, thanks a lot for your comment!! I do consider comics as art (not a spread idea in the country I live in, but it's well considered in other countries). If you are interested, I was recently introduced to the work of an amazing artist called Ricardo Fedecini. Amazing work!
I must say that hands are difficult to do and that's why I asked my BF to take some pictures of mines to have a model and make them as real as possible (I love realistic art!).
Don't worry, you don't sound sappy. I won't be pretentious ans say that IS do art, but I'll say that I try and if an oversized shirt or a look I draw make you feel anything, I'll be more than happy.
Thanks a lot for reading the story. I hope you enjoy the rest of it!

ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS. I really enjoy all of the close shots. I know that they are alone, but having the 'camera' so close to them makes them seem very exclusive and alone and close.
Third panel magic is going strong! I /immediately/ went to that panel when I first saw this page. I didn't even notice it was the third panel until I was finished oogling at it. Her hands have wonderful shape and motion and I can just see her twisting her fingers together nervously, avoiding looking at Garrus, feeling uncomfortable.
Also, I love how Garrus reassures her, super fluffy and cute! The last panel is really cute. I adore them playing footsie. Plus I love hands, feet and calves and Shep's are so pretty

Thank you!!
I usually look for the help of posemaniacs to draw hands, but for that pose, I needed both hands, so I asked my BF to take a couple of pictures with my cell phone, from different angles. They became very useful, specially to also draw panel 4, which is the same but with the hands a part 
You can't imagine how hard and how much work the last panel gave me... It refused to come up right and I changed the idea like... then times...! I decided to go for their feet to stablish that even though they are different, they are determined to make their relationship work. I'm so happy you like them!

I got a littlewierd question for you, Tricia: If you made a male Shepard, what would your romance be with? Liara, Ashley or Tali?

After a month without Internet (f*cking ISP --' ), it's great to read again the adventures of Garrus and Shepard <3
Great job, as usual... ^^

Totally understandable confusions in panel 2. Humans are weird critters ... and our ideas are even weirder.
Lovely page, I so love all the small details and again, the amazing bodylanguage!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh, you can say that again! Poor aliens. The day humans reach the stars, they are doomed to absolute non-understanding of our ways...
Thanks a lot Skyward!

Hah, and quite probably annihilation because of it as well!
You're welcome.

I can't believe that I missed that!
HOW I COULD MISSED FLUFF,I HAVE NO IDEA.
And yes,palms pictures are very well one!
I've always wondered how different species reacts to emotional involvement.I thought that maybe procedure is always the same,just maybe some needs more time in realizing how they feel and stuff...but maybe it's completely different...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Don't over think it... I had it hidden
Thanks!
I think that ME univers made it plain and simple for us players to get involved with the alien characters, even if they could have, as you very well point out, different reactions of ways of showing affection. Sigh. But I guess that then many players will have stuck with human LIs.

I only liked the way how experiencing emotions by salarians was shown.They live short and they feel really fast.I can imagine being in relationship with salarian,God...
For me Asari should be really slow at falling in love.They have whole millenium to live,so I can't understand how fast Liara fell in love in the commander...How much time takes action in ME1?Few weeks?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You'll have to do everything fast with a salarian... and considering they are a low sexualy driven species... maybe you'll need to have a salarian equivalent of viagre available.
Mmmm... but maybe is the other way around with asaris: they pick up mates quickly to make the most of the time with them, because except from krogans or asaris, the rest of the galactic community have a much more shorter life span... I've always considered that ME1 was like 2-3 months going around the Galaxy... don't ask me why, probably my headcannon is influencing me here...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
There must be! That would be so evil!
That means Cerberus is probably having it.
What you're saying about Asari make perfect sense,although I can't help feeling it's very boring to be an asari...but I bet they must be graduated from many schools!Think,you could be graduated both from medical and ballet school in one life!hey must change their jobs often...
That's kinda annoying,that we have no idea how much time is passing in ME world...how do you think,how long takes action of ME3? Month?

That face shot in the upper right hand corner is amazing o_O
Ha, I think you got the quarreling between Shepard and Garrus spot on xD

(Have imagend turian claws a bit different)

Thank you for reading it!
(I tried several ideas for turian talons, and this one is the one that I liked most... What I don't like now is my design on Garrus plates... 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hm, i think it's fine, because nobody really knows how turians look withut their armor

Wow, ok... I can see I'm gonna have to read this from the beginning, because I just happened upon this panel and LOVED it. Bravo on the art, and good story from what I can see!
