Description
When I say "sketchdump" I mean emotion/dialogue exercise plus added brain vomit.I was poking around on youtube looking at mass effect stuff because I am a hopeless fangirl, and I found someone had posted the conversations between Shepard and Liara in Mass Effect one. *ping*[link] *ping*
The dialogue I did you the exercise is some of my favorite dialogue in the game. Liara is so embarrassed and nerdy in it. I just had to do it.
I had a brain fart idea of doing it as an animatic but that's for another time.
The other stuff is "Shadow Broker" mode Liara and Liara walking in on my Shep working out...because I wanted to draw muscles...deal with it...
A special thanks to whose youtube channel I used for the dialogue
Liara = Mass Effect = Bioware

I wonder what she was about to borrow before she had her "0_0;" moment seeing Cmdr. "Muscles" Shepard?

Beside, muscles are fun to draw

I have no doubt! I'm in rather fantabulous shape myself. Flab don't fight, after all. But I was more wondering what Liara wanted before she got sidetracked by that eyeballfull of her beloved commander?

Heh! Looks like she has sugar enough, what with all the eye-candy. *badumtch*
... *flees! the scene of the pun*

Sorry, I go to school for animation and I have to defend my muscular female character everyday from my male counterparts.
"Maggie you know your woman doesn't look feminine at all right?" *irriated sigh*

devious liara is one step away from the gendo pose XD

Maybe that is the REAL reason why she wanted Shepards remains...
π: 0 β©: 1
1. one can wonder what happened to her with the remains...if she romanced shephard.
2. I liked her character and her backstory.
3. Her character development is better than other characters, and she has a personality that's unique, and character quirks.
4. I also liked the story if you romanced her, and how she saved you from the collectors.

she's so far the best character to romance for my shep. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
why?
I love her awkward moments
π: 0 β©: 1
I have alot of different Shepards but she is my primary Shepard romance.
My favorite MShep romance is Tali though

I see. same here. XD
i created many sheps just for different romances, and one without any.
I see. hehe hope she unmasks!

Aww... I miss Liara from when she was so shy and cute. Don't get me wrong, confidence is a good trait to have, but... she's less adorable in ME2. Luckily by the time the Shadow Broker business is over, she seems back to her good old self
Excellent artwork, if I do say so myself.

Well...emotionally speaking losing anyone your close to is hard....it changes you...imagine going through that change and finding out they aren't gone. I think the writers handled this situation very well.
I'm pretty sure Liara isn't going to be the naive and nerdy scientist ever again and I am ok with that. I like that they are making her character grow
π: 0 β©: 1
I understand that quite well, and they explained that fairly well in th DLC when Liara says "You can't just expect two years of mourning to vanish!" I think all the characters who transferred from ME1 to ME2 were fairly well developed (minus Kaiden / Ashley who just give the EXACT same dialogue word-for-word, making them essentialy the same generic human person and a real insult to who they once were in ME1).
-Garrus sort of tried to emulate Shepard by taking up Vigilante-ism
-Tali did that in some way, as the first two times you meet her in ME2 she is leading Quarian Migrant Fleet Marine squads on important missions for the Migrant Fleet
-Wrex listened to Shepard telling him not to give up on his people, and did something about it.
And Liara... well, she fought to bring Shepard back, and having lost Feron in the process and thinking there would never be any results of Cerberus trying to revive Shepard, wanted revenge.
I do like character development, and I supose it is good that they didn't have to give it TOO much explanation, leaving the player to figure it out themselves. (Although I still think pre-Lair of the Shadow Broker Liara is CREEPY... with that wierd eye thing and threatening to smush people with her biotics...)

See I though the "Flay you in half with my mind" things really cool...but that is just me.
What happened in my mind:
Liara: ..."I'll Flay you in half...with my mind..."
Shep: "Hot"
Liara: "Shepard!"
Hmm...I wonder if Shepard realizes how much they reakky influnrced their crew?
π: 0 β©: 1
I thought it was cool yeah, but a bit too out of character for Liara, and I was worried she'd go all evil like Benezia. After all, Benezia wasn't really evil, she was just trying to stop Saren, but that didn't end well for her.
but 
Maybe? It's possible anyway.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think that is was eluding to Liara's potential to become evil...based on the way Shepard asks in ME2 much like how the other team members from ME1 evolved. She didn't directly quote Benezia on accident.
I love how complex a character they are making her into and I can't wait to see what happens in ME3...
...I have a feeling that if you destroy the reaper base at the end and TIM is still in his temper tantrum, we may be receiving missions from Liara...Or at least that is how I would write it

Ah, right. That makes sense.
Amen to that, I'm counting the days until Mass Effect 3. I'm so glad I got into the games when I did. I started on my birthday in March last year, getting both games as birthday presents since everyone was talking about them, and with mass effect 2 having the tagline "It's the Avatar of video games" I HAD to check it out.
Yes, I had that thought too, and I do hope they go with it. It would make a lot of sense and would fit nicely.

I...am not even getting started on Avatar...
Anyway, I'm glad you like it

Good.... don't... If anyone badmouths that movie, they become my enemy, no exceptions...
I do like it.

*throws up hands at shoulder height* Hey...already said I wasn't going to say anything....no worries man

I know, I know, it's just I get a lot of crap for liking that film, and it realy bothers me sometimes that people can't just accept that I like this movie a lot...
Okay then
π: 0 β©: 1
I respect that....Truth be told It's not my favorit movie...But It's not the movie that bothers me so much as...
Well I'm not sure if you wanna hear my grievence with Cameron...so I'll stop
π: 0 β©: 1
That's fine, I understand. If you have issues with Cameron, that's okay. I personally cannot stand this new movie "Sanctum" because the selling line is "From Executive Producer James Cameron", as if people don't know that all an executive produce does is have lunch with investors and get the funding for the film...

I'm an Animator. I'm in school for it and I am being trained in the same animation programs that the WHOLE OF "AVATAR" WAS MADE IN....
Seriously 89% of that movie was made in Maya and Zbrush.
And he said: βthe thing that people need to keep very strongly in mind is that this is not an animated film.β
Yes it is Cameron...And it's ok that it is. Animation is a legitimate art form and storytelling medium. But, no that Pretentious asshole is so afriad of his film not being "mainstream" by championing a budding artform (CG Animation) That his movie is COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON. The man has no ball.
...
Sorry...I care alot about what I do...and yeah I completely boycotted the film when I heard the interview...I still love Alien though
π: 0 β©: 1
That's perfectly understandable. I understand your views completely. The movie wouldn't be what it was without the animation. In fact most of the awards it got were soley for the animation featured in it and the concepts.
I'd say it's a the reverse of what the old animated / real footage movies were like. Like Say, the newer Star Wars movie, were everyone is real except that idiot Jar Jar Binks. With this, everything is GGI exepct the actors when human, and some of the sets, props and vehicles.
I completely agree, CG Animation is an art form to be truly respected, and I do respect it greatly. While I don't share Cameron's views on it, I still admire CG Animation and what his team did for this movie.
And yes, Aliens ranks at my #2 favourite film of all time. Those were simpler days, like the fact that he did that whole movie with only five Alien suits, yet through strategic filming and editing, created the idea that there were dozens of them at a time.

YAAAAY LIARA! 8D (I'm a huge ShepxT'soni fanboy XP)
gah, how'd you draw their heads right!? D: I'm having lots of trouble drawing asari...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, relatively speaking, they are kind of easy to do in a 3/4s angle like this. When you do your construction lines (the old circle, center line and eyeline combo) there center cearse for the head tenticle is right on that center line about were the hair line would be.
Just follow where the hair line would be and space out the other head tenticles. Also in 3/4 view like this don't forget to put the tips of one or two to give is a feel of perspective.

Haha one of my favourite parts! The look on her face when she's all "what!?" is priceless hahaha xD
Another moment with her that's funny is when she didn't know Shep was joking, and was all "how could I be so dense"--just the way she said it was funny.
π: 0 β©: 1
I really like all the studdering and ticks she makes when she is fumbling over her words, thats one reason I would like to do an animatic

I know me too! It's so cute >w< Reminds me of myself when I talk haha x]
