Have to agree with the idea that having that additional time with them made the resultant romance far better.  In both cases, you could see how they wouldn't have wanted it in ME 1 (Garrus because he just ain't into humans, but respects and eventually loves FemShep, and Tali because she was so young, inexperienced, and afraid.).

Epic Win for Bioware.

I am happy with what we got.

There was a sketch a while back of Garrus and Tali both in hoodies.  Add Kasumi.

Do you have it some where?

Again... too cute. Someone who is a cartoonist would be better suited for something like that.

I'll come up with something.

What type of artist are you?

That's... an interesting question.

I don't really know...

No.  It's so bad, it's bad.  It's a disgrace to the source material and the medium in general.

Your Milage May Vary

I curse the day you introduced me to that website.

I did? When?

I didn't mean me in general, I mean the first time I click a link and found that site and spent forever browsing it.

I'm a sucker for a well written romance... and all four of them were brilliant.

But... Thane And Jack weren't there when you fought Saren, or when you made an assault on the Thorian, or when you took down the Rachni Queen. Garrus and Tali have been there with you, been there FOR you. You just can't beat that. It has an unmatchable intrinsic value.

That's why I firmly believe that they both offer the best romances in ME2, or just interactions in general. They were both good friends to Shepard in Mass Effect, two years have passed under the assumption Shepard has died, seeing them again sparks the relatiionship again. This time, the relationship grows into something more than being friends, one grants you a romance, the other a true platonic bond. It's beatifully written.

And the fact that that was a two year break for both Shepard and for us also did a lot to help us as the player to feel some of the same joy that Shepard might have felt for getting some of his old team back, or at least it did in my case.

This.  I wasn't all that big on any of the ME1 characters.  But having Garrus and Tali rejoin made them pure gold for some reason.  Hell, I even got all choked up a Wrex's "Shepard!  My friend!" and I really didn't like him in ME1.

Garrus and Tali playing ping-pong?

How about Haestrom's sun burning through her Shields as she makes a last stand outside that room you find her in.  Give her a little battle damage (cracked visor, bullet wound, whatever).
(I figured Epic was more of your art-style.)

Ah well. Just stay up all night (tonight) and stay awake until 8:00pm.

Works for me... most of the time.

Yeh, I'll be fine.

For now, progress update

Well my only hope Jack consult a hair dresser between Me2-me3.

Couldn't hurt, she really could be attractive if she wanted to be.  Not as much as Tali, but you know

It was only a blink of an eye for Shepard, but it was the worst awakening anyone can imagine. Your family is just... gone.

Just make sure you point out somewhere that this is right before Shep saves her and everyone lives happily ever after

In fact, add that to the picture somehow, that way there's no confusion that she's alright

Personally, I love the damsel-in-distress ideal.  But I think Freddie Nietzch said it better:

“Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!”

I agree, but the tattoos are enough uniqueness for me personally.  It seems to me like a Shep that romanced Jack would have a chance to soften her personality a little, and I think a more inviting hair style may be a piece to that puzzle.

I loved that part with Wrex. Did not expect to hear him say that and when he did; amazing.
