You can find the artist here.

Thanks, only just seen this (I went to bed before you posted, as it was about 2am here)

Just had a browse and his work is pretty good, Chignon, thanks! Now I am off to put right my terrible faux pas and place a Kaidan above ^

Disappointing, troubling. I'm too much of a cynic to think it means anything other than being sidelined. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Kaidan :  How did Ash ever use one of these things?

Kaidan: "Why can't I use my Biotics again?"

I think he's distracted trying to figure out how the assault rifle works.  He's sort of holding it correctly and the scope seems to work...but you know

Last time I checked, it was recommended to keep the second eye opened while working with optical tools. I wonder if setting cross-hairs counts.
Ah, why I am looking at sniping at first time? There's more pleasant object to stare at on this pic.

Liara is a great character, so naive and innocent. I loved that about ME1, the balance beween rugged bitter warlords and nerdy scientists, life and death calls (with the sorrow that followed) and the feeling of being a kid on a field trip (remember when you first saw the citadel?).

It was just so complete. In ME2, everyone has a chip on their shoulder. Everyone is guarded and badass. I don't enjoy it as much. I understand the point of it, but it's not as enjoyable to me.

This won't change in ME3 either, no matter if I get Kaidan back.  I would be seriously bummed out realizing that just now had it not been for all the hugging, groping, kissing and such going on in the tread..

Wait, what?  Why?  You're stuff is good.

@Ako you have so much nice stuff, don't think so bad about yourself!!! I think I said it a long time ago (it must have been last summer) that I really like the things you do and I think you're a very creativ person...okay...do you understand me?!!! Without you the Kaidan and Shepard world would really miss a lot

After the photomaip you posted on the femshep thread yesterday you're trying to tell us that you don't have photoshopping talent?

Do what you enjoy!   I've said it before im sure that piece of art with Kaidan and femshep is beautifully done!  [smilie]http://social.bioware.com/images/forum/emoticons/love.png[/smilie]  

Additionally I still consider below one my favourite femshep pieces.  

[Sialater]

Ako, don't listen to people who tell you you're not good. Who the hell cares? I was told by a writing professor in college that I couldn't write and I'd never make it.

I sold a story right out of college. And Chig gave me my first fan art last week! Be creative because YOU like it. Because YOU get something out of it. To hell with the naysayers.

I think Ako is suffering a severe case of too much modesty............... This is beautiful!

You know guys, I'm glad I wasn't here for the comic talk cause I'm pissed...but you know what..At least we have each other and with enough fanart/fics we could make ourselves a little fandom for our favorite LT.



Wait...we already have that.



And I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ME3...or a dlc...maybe?

*sigh*

We'll know sooner or later...

Ako did that?
and she thinks WHAT? That is amazing........i wish i could not draw but just simply paint.......

[AkodoRyu]

Well, it's not exactly modesty... I mean, yes, it is, and I'm really thankful for your kind words, but at some point in my life I couldn't receive praising in a normal way. In short, "it felt like I didn't deserved them, they're unnecessary, because what I did is nothing".

True problem is that I had kinda high hopes to get to the industry that could allow me to use my work (I'm good at PS and kinda at vector graphics editing programs, but when I have to do something by myself, like projects etc....... ), but I was deaf to what closest people said. Turns out that I was chasing a dream and now I'm in a really tight spot.

ME is highly inspiring, and I have a lot of things in my head that it almost hurts, I just have no idea how to, well, materialize them. I'm not good with writing, so I can write only short, not really involving stories. Reading others and learning from them is... off limits. I could unintentionally copy ideas and interpretations.
Drawing, well, it's now much of a hobby, and now that I think about it, I'm not letting myself to draw until I find a way to get on with my life. Like drawing is some kind of a luxury.

So, yea, curse you ME (and few other things) for being so awesome. That also influences my Kaidan artwork, although I have pictures in my head - whatever I draw is nothing like the initial idea - and that goes for all my work EVER.

Uh, Ako? Most good writers start off ripping off other writers' voices. It's like mimicing them until they find their own. If you read my early stuff, you'd swear it was Robert Jordan or Barbara Michaels and not me. Every good writer steals. It's what you do with that theft that counts.



My sister went through what you describe but with music. I think a little bit of her died when she quit to become a math teacher, math being her second love. I'd hate to see that happen with you. If you can't do it professionally... well that's too bad, but you don't and shouldn't give up doing what you love completely.



I can't write professionally. I have trouble finishing my work. It's why I started fanfic, so I could get over that. But I still write. Every night. Just... don't quit. You do wonderful work.

I'll tell you something even tho its against my rule to open up to ppl on Net.
when i created my first books of crafting i was all : OMG thats S*** noone will like them, what the hell im thinking.....even I dont like them......
And then  there were publishers that liked my books and published them....and still i think of my work as....not good...to say it polite. I dont know if its modesty or just me being stupid and lacking of self confidence but the thing is that you do things coz YOU enjoy them. And thats what matters really.

and yes, yes im old and wise

I think this is an excellent point.  I was in a similar position when I went away to college.  I desperately wanted to study music or literature/creative writing, as those are the two things I've been passionate about my whole life but I knew I wouldn't be able to pursue a career in either field due to limited job availability where I live, so I had to go to plan C (psychology).  Now, don't get me wrong, I love my chosen field and I am dedicated to helping others, but I was heartbroken to the point where I stopped playing and writing during my first few years of college.  I just stopped... and it was horrible for me.  I picked up writing again a few years ago, at a friend's prompting, and challenged myself by pursuing NaNoWriMo.  In doing so, it was like rediscovering a part of myself that I had forgotten existed.  It was glorious.

My point with that little personal anecdote is that Sia's right.  If it's something you love, don't give it up completely.  Don't punish yourself; instead, if things aren't going well or if you feel stuck in life, go back to your art or writing.  You might just find that it's a little place of peace and tranquility that is all your own.  It doesn't matter if you are the best or not (and from what I have seen of your artwork, it is absolutely incredible).  My creative writing skills are mediocre at best, but I don't give a damn.  I love writing.  If it makes you happy, don't give up.

Edit: A Kaidan for added support (he's like a good bra!)

*delurks* Really off topic here but I know how some of you play KOTOR here. I remember someone saying once that there was a Carth mod of some sort that helps things play out better or what have you? I'm not entirely sure, my brain is kind of fuzzy.

That would be the Carth romance mod - first on the list of KotOR Essentials 101



Jho's excellent artwork links our topics nicely, don't you think?

A little mind wandering from me. I've never seen so many creative, doing something really brilliant, people before. Your works instantly broadening my views on what can be done with a photo manip or drawing from a sheet. I'm just very glad I know about so many gifted people.

[Reverie]

Thanks. Much appreciated!

Pfft...I'm a graphic design but I work as a stock supervisor at a lady's underwear store. Not really putting that degree to much use. But I long ago told everyone else in the world to go to hell and do what I want to. I've caught **** from people in my real life for doing so much ME stuff, people who are supposed to support me. But it is what I like and I do what I want with or without their approval.

I love your art. It makes me sad that you haven't done anything new in so long. As for writing, where I'm from has a very lacking education system. I honestly taught myself more about it then what any of my teachers have. Its a practice thing same as art. I've fought with myself over many pieces, some times to the point of screaming and throwing my sketch book because I can't get a hand right or something. But I make myself do it. It's only been within this past year I've been comfortable posting my stuff for the world to see.

I second that Akodo, just because you think you're not good enough, doesn't mean you aren't. More importantly, it's what you love to do and what you must do. I've given up art for the past six/seven years, thinking I'll never be good enough but then I met all of you talented ladies and just realized what I missed out on, doing something I absolutely love and here I am drawing again and if you saw my stuff you'd truly know that I'm no good, but *shrugs* I don't care, I like it so I do it. Some is with my writing, I don't think I'm that good but I do it anyway.

Doing it professionally is one thing, but you shouldn't give up on it just because you can't do it professionally, do it for you, in the end, that's all that matters really.
