Description After saving the galaxy again, Garrus and Shepard enjoy some well-deserved shore leave on the planet of Illium.

You know why I prefer Garrus to Kaidan? Every time you talked to Kaidan, he'd be all "Shore leave, shore leave! Oh, and emo backstory!", whereas Garrus would say, "Need me for something? A suicide mission? Right behind you, Shepard." Guess who's got their mind on the job, eh?

Okay, I really need to find out what is wrong with my scanner, it seems to enjoy taking every grain in the paper and blowing it up out of proportion. If the pencil work seems fluffier than usual, it's because I had to edit it in Photoshop to remove the 'noise' But I finally finished it anyway I got really bored of the picture halfway through (right after I did all the blankets, OMG the cloth!) so the background is a little slapdash, and it's the end of term so I have 4 assessments in the next 2 weeks, but once again it's GARRUS so IDGAF

Well this is good.

While thinkin' about it Bri and Garrus do have some similarities, other than just both being bigger than their girlfriends.

Lovely work on shading, fabric and background.

This makes me think a bit of a mix between Mass Effect and Masamune Shirow's work, or maybe Macross. Excellent job. And yeah, Kaiduhn is pushy. XD Though I guess Shepard can be as well. But that doesn't count.

ravenwing136 In reply to Nanahuatli [2013-01-30 11:18:13 +0000 UTC]

Haha, I was definitely inspired by Masamune Shirow as another sharp eyed deviant has spotted Oh, I love Kaidan too, but gosh if he didn't have several awkward moments of his own

He is a greatest character in game and was a good bro to my Shep.)

I could liken him to oxygen though; I swore I would quit ME if Garrus died

rollingpinkstone In reply to ravenwing136 [2012-04-29 14:42:41 +0000 UTC]

We would all quit and die if Garrus died. That reminds of a song by Jordan Sparks - No Air.

Have you seen the deleted scene of Garrus and Liara get kill by a reaper. They die if you don't have enough points.

OMG yeah I saw that, it was scary! But I guess you could always bring 2 people you wanted to kill with you I liked calculating the different survival/death combinations in ME2, pity the ME3 ending doesn't quite let you do that...

FelisHaww [2012-03-14 02:28:15 +0000 UTC]

The picture reminds of of Deunan Knute and her cyborg lover, Briareos from APPLESEED. I think it's the positioning. Then again, it may just be the pairing. Any connection?

ravenwing136 In reply to FelisHaww [2012-03-14 10:25:45 +0000 UTC]

You're definitely right, I used a frame from one of the Appleseed manga books to reference the pose, but personally, I'm all for similarly sized pairings Motoko and Batou, anyone?

*has finally dragged myself back onto DA*
I love your pencil work! And Garrus! And lol, yes Kaidan is downright depressing while Garrus is all action. But seriously, I'm constantly amazed by your pencil art, it's easily my favorite medium when it comes to your artwork.

Thank you! Haha, I'm fairly decent with the pencil, probably cos I've practiced so much with it glad you think so! And geez, I hope Kaidan has a decent reason for that episode on Horizon in ME3 else I'm throwing him off the ship and re-recruiting Mordin instead
