EDIT: It would be nice to know if You use or repost this picture anywhere
Let me know in the comments!-----------------
So... guys...
I just wanted to say THANK YOU. Really. For all the comments, faves, gallery adds, WATCHERS (OMG, I have so many watchers, I just don't know what to...).
You people keep on surprising me with all Your support! Thank You! I'll do my best to keep on writing/making pictures/comics and whatnot!
I thought Garrus and Dany will do the best job to convey my feelings so... here they are!
Both models made by ~SumireHaikuXNA , posed in XNALara, background from my screenshot of the Normandy, all other work done in Photoshop.
BioWare owns everything except for Danielle (my OC , a doctor on the Normandy crew.
...Have I mentioned how much I love You all?

Are you going to let Casey Hudson know what you made? Because they made plans for Mass Effect 4 and your character could make the cut. Go for it. Introduce this idea to Hudson.

This is very, very nice of You to suggest that, but I seriously doubt they will be interested in my character XD Still, thank You for the compliment, that made me blush!

Still wouldn't hurt to try. You have a fan base that could support you, right?

I am more worried about BioWare not being too happy with me using their models for my pictures than I can believe they would be interested in my little OC... But as I said, You make me happy by saying she fits the universe so well she could be a real part of it

No problem. I guess I can look forward to the next episodes of your comic series. By the way, who is your OC based from? Just curious.

Sure do! I hope You're enjoying the fanfiction as well
As a character I wanted someone who wouldn't be Shepard, but still had a chance at romancing Garrus (I'm a helpless fangirl, I cannot hide that) and I figured a medic would do fine. Everything else just turned out in the meantime

Thanks. I'm glad I could make your day. You know I made a fanfic on fanfiction.net. It's a crossover of the Matrix/Mass Effect. If you care to read it sometime and tell me what you think (reviews/criticism) I would value your input. It's the Matrix Effect if you care to read.

Garrus-We do?

Yes, Garrus, listen to your girlfriend.

Wow!!! That's amazing! Garrus looks so... Like he should. You got all the details down to his mandible-jaw-teeth things perfect! Turians must be really hard to do so well, considering all the detail they have in just their faces. Great job! Plus FemShep looks awesome with a long braid like that, though, why's she wearing asari diplomat clothes? lol
Great job!

Thank You
As for the "diplomat clothes" - this is a medical/scientist outfit and You would know why she's wearing it, if You read the AN. You'd also know she's not a femShep .
Anyway, thanks for viewing and praises!

Awesome.
So, I'm just curious ... how do you and your friend make these lovely comics and pics? I think s/he extracts the game data and arranges the pics .. but then what? You colour them in Photoshop yourself?
Sorry, just super curious, that's all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She extracts the models she then shares with me. There's that 3D application - XNALara - that allows me to arrange the model, posing it however I want. Then the image taken in XNALara is transported to Photoshop and combined with background and/or enhanced in any way we see fit (lights, shadows, etc).
In fact, it's both simple and complicated, depending on how You look at it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I see. Ha ha, I think I'll settle on the complicated scenario though. Way above my meager skills and understanding.
In any case, your comics etc look absolutely fabulous. I hope you'll keep working together to provide us with more for years to come.
(Funny conicidence about that software, XNALara .. since the first time I saw your art I was so strongly reminded of Lara Croft.)

You're underestimating Yourself
We will do our best to cooperate as long as possible 
(And that's just coincidence, lol, but interesting indeed!)

Lol, no it's true I'm afraid.
Sounds great.
(I know, lol, still funny though.

Oldies, but goodies! The fact that You're using older programs doesn't matter, as long as You feel comfortable with them
...and although I don't think I could share any special tricks, if You want to ask me something, feel free

Oh so very true!
I've been thinking about upgrading to a professional Photoshop but it'd be overkill. I'd require some course or something just to understand the first thing about it so no, I'm not really that interested.
Awesome. You know, one thing I've never been able to get my head around is the whole layer idea. Several people have tried explaining how to use them but I just don't get it. So I usually only work in a single layer all the time. What are the benefits of using multi-layered worksheets, if you can explain that in layman's terms, please?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The first important use of a layer is that if You screw it up, You can always delete it and start over - which means erasing just a portion of the whole picture and not the picture itself
Second benefit is the transparency (Opacity and Fill) and style of the layer. I don't know exactly how the different styles work, but there are multiple options of making them "react" with one another - for example, using a layer with a black-white pattern on a grey background, when the B&W one is set to "lighten" will only make the white ones visible. And so on and so on. It's always fun to play with the effects of the style
Third is modifying one layer only. For photomanipulation it's quite important - let's say I want to paste a horse onto a photo of a field. Horse photo was taken in the evening, so it's basically orange'y and the field was photographed in the morning, so it's a little rosy. What I want is to "recolour" the horse, so it fits the background. I do it using a simple "Hue/Saturation" effect applied to the layer with the horse only.
I'm sure there are lots of many other uses - those are just ones I use most often

Thanks a lot for this! Sorry it's taken so long to reply; these are busy days for us. End of the garden and fishing season, and I'm moving to a new apartment in a month so there are tons of preparations to undertake, phew.
I'm saving this for future reference, thanks again.

Sure, no problem! Good luck with the moving in and no worries

Thanks! Awesome, I'll do that. I'd love to see your expression if you saw the dinosaurian (ancient in other words) software I'm using and the super-noobish techniques .. if you could even call them techniques ..

I'm pretty sure lots of what I'm doing can be called noob too xD
