I think that would be a good a gesture as it gets Fiery.   I mean there are thousands of femshep players, for many their first choice is femshep.   A little acknowledge isn't too hard and it would go a long way :happy:

They kind of already acknowledged Lady Hawke for DA2. There's no reason for them not to do it with FemShep during the ME3 promotion campaign.

Delerius Jedi already answered that.  I'm not going to repeat it.  I'll post a mugshot of Avery instead.

Nice to see Avery face-to-face (as it were) after reading "Virtue".

Heh, yeah, that's my crazy, obsessed Paragon.

Or, at least acknowledge the fact that Commander Shepard's gender is not predefined, and it is possible to play Shepard as a woman. I understand their desire to market Sheploo as their iconic, Marcus Fenix-esque figure. However, it couldn't hurt to include FemShep in ME3's promotional material.

I'm not sure if this is anything, but I actually liked how they playfully referenced the fact that Shepard's gender is player-determined in the comic Redemption. At some point, Feron (I believe) mentioned something about Shepard's corpse being so messed up that he couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman.

It's not much, but I personally found it a good tiny bit of acknowledgment.

Ha! That's quite clever. Kudos to the writer who added that in. ;D

Yeah, mine's gonna take a little longer.    And by little I mean lots.  I haven't had much time in the evenings this week so I'm still messing around with facecodes and headmorphs, haven't even started on the probably 80+ hours of actual painting yet.

Question: Should the background for this be just a rather generic, glamour-shot kind of background like the Battlestar cast photo itself?  Should I set it someplace like the Normandy or Zakera Ward?  Backgrounds take a buttload of extra time, so I'm not entirely sure which course I should take.

IIRC, it is actually Tazzik who mentions that it's hard to tell if Shepard is male or female, but that's not the point.

I agree with what you're saying, Fiery. If greater and more extensive acknowledgment of the fact that Shepard's gender gender is player-defined were ever implemented, I'd love it. I can forgive the mistake in LotSB, in which one of the Shadow Broker dossiers refers to a FemShep as male, because it's just that: a mistake.

I do think that FemShep's presence in the Mass Effect marketing may become more prominent. Call me optimistic.

 
And then I'm reminded of an idea for a TV commerical in which Shep is detailing thier profession, and as they're walking, Shep shifts from male to female as they read thier lines. From Meer to Hale, and back again, so on and so forth. 

Bascially showing the audience that Shepard can be anyone you want.

    Will you be posting updates in this thread or on another site? I'm real curious as to how you will design the piece. Will it be a combination of painting and photoshop manipulation?

Purely digital painting.  I'll probably use my currently empty DA account to hold my progress images and just link them here.  They'll be somewhat gigantic.

Not only that, but morphing between facecodes, too.

My personal vote is the "glamour-shot" type of background. Both simpler to paint and still looks good. Besides, why make a complicated background when the focus is the FemSheps anyway?

A background similar to the BSG photo would probably be best, it's simple and keeps the focus on the characters. The only "universal" background I can think of would be a shot looking towards the Presidium from one of the ward arms if only because everyone goes to the Citadel in both games and there is always a window with that shot.

Edit: Oh and I reworked my Renegade Shepard Danielle.

I'd lean towards a more generic backdrop to emphasize the focus on the femsheps.  Maybe a generic location but with Mass Effect themed architecture.  Since we're talking BSG this is a good example of a generic space that still looks like it's somewhere on the ship.
For mine, I ended up using a space in the cargo hold link

Not unless you're filing a discrimination lawsuit...at county court.  About a video game.  It's next Mon so hopefully I'll just sit around for a couple hours and they won't call me.

How did you get her face so nice and rounded with face 7? Whenever I try to do that, Lia always develops this really weird "slope" on the right side of her face, that seems like it curves inwards from her ears towards her nose. It is driving me absolutely up the wall that I can't get rid of it

I would recommend a plain background, since the focus is on the characters, like it was in BSG. femShep in the star here

So... did anyone decide they wanted different hair in ME2? Avery originally had that high bun with platinum blonde hair. I decided that Cerberus didn't have time to grow it all out and dye it back, so she's back to her original chestnut mop in ME2. That's right in ME1, Avery was a bottle blonde.





(On an entirely different note, I had to rework Meg's face to take off the make up because the blush made her look like she should be working Afterlife. And not as security.)

I use the Face Size and Jaw sliders to match the jawline with the cheekbones so that it's one clean line from the bottom of the chin all the way up to the eyes. It's hard to explain what I do because it's almost second nature to me by now and I can take any design or character and create that clean uniform jawline with the sliders.

Holly has always had the same hair, but she went through many iterations. Changed complexion, eyebrows, eyes, shape of her jaw/cheeks. It's funny, because I obsessed over her the most out of all my FemSheps. Constance and Trista I sort of threw together quick-like, and I love them. Aislinn's face is based off Holly's, but a bit narrower with some tweaks here and there. Not to mention the obvious differences in hair, etc.  Moira took a bit more work, but was a lot of fun to design.
