Im baaaaaaaaaack! Ready to knock out some Mass Effect characters!

Quick note about some of the other paintings, they nearly all need resizing, Ashley is wider than how she appears on the computer, so I am in the process of re uploading them in the original aspect ratio. Ashleys face is no longer too long lol! Should have been careful about that before I posted it huh. My mistake!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intensity Penguin : Here it is! 

Cra5y Pineapple : You forgot to demand it and than say please! He is waiting in line and coming soon 

Spartas Husky : Thanks man, I laid the paint on pretty thick with him. Kinda how I imagine a Krogan to paint. haah!

khevan : Thanks again for the great post and like I said to you before, its all more than welcome here man. To get better at something you have to learn from what others see and then try and see it yourself. So thanks again for helping me see.

Burdokva : Thank you! Garrus is my fav too, along with the Krogan and now Sheperd.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally got Mass Effect for the PC like I said I would, and it has been a
massive help in finding some good shots to take for these oil
paintings. So, Sheperd the one and only! Made quite a big mistake with
the space between his lips and nose being too far but hopefully his
likeness still pulls through.

Painted with oil paints on canvas. Around 3-4 hours.
As always comments and critique are more than welcome and up next...Commander Sheperd for the lady players!

Oh almost forgot to say, all the previous portraits on the first page have been updated with the correct aspect ratio and no longer look stretched thin.

[SaturnsGate]

Thanks IOnlySignIn, Mass Effect fans regoice!



Quick note, I updated the above painting by making sheperds eyes larger and evening out his jaw bone.

[General Douchington]

Shepard looks fantastic, although his head seems very... rectangular. Still, still, great work!



And, out of curiousity, will you be doing default femshep or a custom femshep?

[SaturnsGate]

Haha so true General Douchington, slaps self for doing rectangle head sheperd. I will fix that in the morning before work. Its an easy fix so for that I am glad.



THe fem shep will be the default fem sheperd.

[philiposophy]

Great work, as ever. Looking forward to whatever comes next

[TheodoricFriede]

Damn! How did i miss these? These are incredible!



Now, as a Talimancer i must ask, is she on the to do list?

[xlavaina]

That is amazing!!! But I have to agree with the post above me. Where is Tali?

[kglaser]

Let me take this opportunity again to post in this thread and say how awesome you are for doing this.

Your ME paintings should be in MoMa in New York between the Andy Warhols and the Roy Lichtensteins.

[SaturnsGate]

philiposophy : Thank you! Here is the next one!

TheodoricFriede : haha cheers! Tali is most definetely on the to do list. Now I have the sheperds complete I will probably be re painting Kaiden and Liara...maaaaybe Ashley. Then I get to move onto the super interesting characters like Tali and Jack etc.

xlavaina : Thank you! Tali is hiding for now, something about a cold or something.

kglaser : Thanks very much! haha that would be cool though there probably not 'edgy' enough for that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

So like I promised to all the fem shep fans out there, here she is! Hope you like her! I will probably clean her up and fix a few things tomorrow if I get a chance. Enjoy and again, thanks everyone for taking an interest in this portrait project of mine.

EDIT : oh and before I forget, I have just signed up to Twitter, so if anyone else Twits and wants to be up to date with my boring day to day drivel feel free to add me : http://twitter.com/#!/TheBestBits

I like them. Very nice paintings. Wonderful job on them, SaturnsGate!

[SaturnsGate]

Thanks very much LesEnfantsTerribles! I personally feel this one is one of my better paintings out of the bunch.

Its curious you say I must have spent a vast amount of time on this one as it has only taken a days work, well on and off relaxing around the house. I think thats one of the keys to doing a good painting if you work fairly thickly, try and get it done while its still wet.

A lot of the others...(I am looking at you Kaiden, Ashley and Liara) I left for a good while inbetween painting, so the paint dried, and left bumps everywhere so when I go back to paint over it , it just becomes a nightmare to work with.

From now on I am just going to spend a whole day on a painting at the weekends, and just make sure its near complete by the end of the day. Should keep me a little less stressed out over it too compared to when I thought about a single painting all week as I worked on it. lol!

Nice FemShep...glad to see you didn't forget about her.

[pacer90]

Fem shep's expression/posture is great.

[syllogi]

You have a really nice handle on light and shadow, great job on MaleShep and FemShep!

[SaturnsGate]

jib524, pacer and TeenZombie : Thanks very much for commenting and I am glad you like them.

When I get back from work tonight I will make her pupils slightly larger as I think there a tad bit too small right now, also her right eye is a little droopy so will fix that too. I will update it later on. Cheers!

[Aeowyn]

You are a really talented artist Saturn. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to see what you come up with next (would love to see TIM)

Mind blowing. Words fail to describe how much I love your work.

This! Wow, I'm amazed! Would be nice if you made one for TIM.

[General Douchington]

Femshep lookin' mighty hot-- I mean good! The eyebrows feel out of place, though. The left(or her right) one moreso. And her armor looks unfinished, noticably less detail/lighting than male Shepard. (men r betar than womenz rite? )

Still, it looks fantastic! Can't wait for whatever is to come.

Aeowyn : Thankyou for your kind words! TIM is most definetely on the list.

Fiery Phoenix : Thank you! TIM has contacted me and says he is currently busy, he can fit me in sometime next month.

rynluna : Cheers!

General Douchington : Cheers dude! I tried to fix her eyebrow tonight, so hopefully it is more in line with her left one now, cheers for that crit! The armour has also been pimped up and hopefully looking much better now. Again, great crits! Next up are some re paints, Kaiden, and Ashley. Need to do something better with them before I can move on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Updated the painting with a few fixes and more detailed armour. She is done now, walking away from her. Cheers for the comments and cits guys and girls! Your all awesome!

Oh and I wont be painting this weekend due to a certain game that will destroy my life for a couple of days coming out this friday, and I am gonna love it! Bring it on Dead Space!
