Thanks! Yeah I just noticed the reply button, and feel just a little bit foolish!

Lol, don't worry, I didn't see that button myself for a long time when I first came here.

You're welcome too, any more sculptures in the making?

Thanks again for the tip! I am currently working on one, but I don't know if I can really talk about it yet (kinda exciting huh!).

But I do have more to post, eight or so (though, nothing from Mass Effect,yet). I wanted to space them out, because it takes me a while to sculpt them. I actually am going to upload one shortly.

You're welcome.

YAAAAAY! Is it a turian or another ME character? If so, I'm sure I'll find it in one of the group galleries. Can't wait, I'll keep my eyes open.

I bet! How long does it take you to finish one?

I'd so love to try my hands on some 3D sculpting sometime, but I can't seem to find any materials (clay or plastic or whatever people use) around where I live.

What I am working on now isn't ME related, but this summer I plan to do a full sculpture of either Garrus or Legion (or maybe a ME3 character), not sure which.

For the Saren bust, it was easily over 200 hours, but that was spread out over the summer. It would have been less, but I changed the spacing of his eyes three time, so every other detail also had to move (I am very picky). Any of my own creations don't take as long, because they only exist in my head, so the details aren't set in stone.

You really should try sculpting, really any clay would work. It is exciting to watch something slowly come to life.

Aw, what a shame ... but please, please do a full-body Garrus sometime, that'd be amazing.

WOW! 200 hours ... ha ha. Ah, thanks for telling me, perhaps I'm better off working with pencil and paper, at least I can do a re-sketch in five minutes. I'm also very picky, so I have to redo things a lot, lol.

I can imagine! Unfortunately, I live far out on the countryside and rarely get a chance to go to a bigger city to look for clay ... Ah well, maybe some day?

I am leaning towards Garrus (and being a smaller scale, he wouldn't take so long), my favorite of any of the squad members in ME1 and ME2.

I too live out in the country(ish, small towns here and there), and would never trade it for anything.

Yay. Are you sure about the time though? I can imagine if you choose to portray him in his armour, there'd be loooooots of details.

He is an adorable character, isn't he? Probably THE best game buddy I've ever met. Okay, so I'm not much of a gamer, ha ha .. but still.

That's nice. Well, it does have its drawbacks, we have to drive half an hour just to go shopping, the nearest veterinary clinic is an hour away. I'm really sick of all this travelling really. Where we used to live before, we had lots of shops and grocery stores and an animal hospital just five minutes away. This is a little bit too isolated for my likings, espescially since I don't have a driver's license myself but have to rely on my mom for everything.

Yeah, it will still take a while, but because of the smaller size there is less surface area to have to worry about detailing. The only part I am concerned about is if he is holding a gun. All of the straight lines, and other mechanical details will be hard to sculpt by hand, but is a area I to need practice on.

He is a great character, I am a big gamer, and I think he ranks high in my list of favorite characters. Even my younger brother, when he played through ME 2, let Garrus die. Then I told him the save would import into the next game, he felt so bad about it, he replayed the game and made sure Garrus would live!

That is true, those are its drawbacks, and having lived in a town before, you really know what your missing. Yet I enjoy the isolation, it allows me to get more sculpting done!

Ah, that's true of course. Aww, you should depict him with his favourite toy: the Viper sniper rifle.

Wow ... he's definitely the top number one for me, at least for now. And to think I almost never got to meet him too ..! I was so angry when they killed off Nihlus early on in the first game. I very nearly put the game away for good after that. Glad I didn't.

Do you remember how Garrus died? I know there are at least three ways he can die during the suicide mission, I've never managed either. That sounds bad, but I'd like to record the cutscenes for my archive! (And then I'd reverse to a previous savegame/checkpoint of course!)

If we'd only been a bit richer .. or a LOT richer, lol .. we could have done what my aunt and uncle does, they have a house in a city about 45 minutes by car from here, so they live there during the long winters and live in their summer house here on this street in the summers. That way we could sample the best of both worlds ...

That would be the best weapon for him to be holding!

Yeah, I know what you mean, I was really warming up to Nihlus, and then bam, dead.

I asked my brother, and he can't quite remember, but it had to do with the swarm of buggy things getting to him. He said, on his last playthrough where Garrus lived, Jack died in the same spot, thought he doesn't like Jack, so he is fine with it.

If only we all were a LOT richer! Even though I probably see myself moving even further form the civilized world, if I had a lot of money. Though, not far enough where I didn't have a internet connection, or the ability to get clay for sculpting!

It's become synonymous with Garrus, hasn't it?

Exactly ... I fell in love with the turian race from the first second I spotted Nihlus. If he hadn't been killed by another turian (Saren) I probably would have given the game up. But my curiosity was piqued when I saw Saren, espescially since he looked so weird.

Ah, then I know what happened; he must have chosen to use Miranda instead of Samara for the biotic bubble, I think that's how you lose Garrus or another squad member now that you mention it. Must try that then! Thanks a lot for asking. I had forgotten that but I think I spotted it on YouTube once.

Lol, true. Ha ha, right, no far enough is fine I guess. I suppose if it were possible, I could order food to be delivered to my front door .. but so far that's not possible here. That's the main concern, plus the fact that a hospital or animal clinic is an hour away as well.
