For people who don't frequent the other thread, Andrew finally finished his amazing epilogue scene for male Shepard and Kaidan (post-destroy, Shepard lives).

There's this weird feeling when I see this picture. I think it may actually be some type of emotion. ;-)

Greetings, all!

I pop in here from time to time, so I wanted to give you a head's up about a nifty little widget created by Sorceress-Nadira over on DeviantArt. Its a Kaidan Alenko shimeji (small animated character that walks all over your desktop).

Here's the link: http://sorceress-nad...t.com/#/d56d539

She is in the process of creating a Tali one but I don't know what others may be in the works. Enjoy! :)

o.m.g


for those that have not been
following this.. it's AMAZING, I didn't think it would turn out this great by
the first-sketches, but clearly I was incorrect in my initial assessment.

For people who still don't hit the other threads, Andrew is back at it, this time with a scene commissioned for Jungle World by Kunari801.

I think this one especially gives more a sense of peace and respite than his last painting, which I still find to be a bit overwhelming. A more mellow piece, hopefully to accompany an equally mellow happy ending in the corresponding story (not that the painting leaves any room for doubt). ;-)

Well, if you're going for respite or peace or just generally a better ending than what we got, an intact Citadel is certainly a good start.

Supposedly it's set years and years after the ending (Shepard and Kaidan both have a little bit of gray). So it's restful by design, with things maybe settling down a bit. (Kunari801 could explain it better—it's his commission, and his story.)

Although I think the intent was to not show the Citadel fully repaired for centuries (though who can tell with those slides), I don't mind that the station seems to be intact here. There's undoubtedly work that still needs to be done, but for now, Kaidan and Shepard are together and can finally relax.

Andrew's previous piece was more immediate, so you get a sense of some disarray still, along with the tension and impact of a far more recent reunion between the two. It's still my favorite, but it's not as easy to digest.

Citadel was supposed to be "mostly" repaired. So I "headcanon" the picture that the hull is fixed but not all the insides yet. :)

It's set 10 years after the war.

That pic is fabulous. I hear it's for your fic Kunari.

Now if I could find one of Miranda and Shepard, I'd be golden.

But it's nice to see this part of the community is looking for closure too, as we all...suffered in the ending. I don't think I've seen many with Steve though either.

Huh.

Thanks Taboo!  Yes, it's for my FanFic that I'm writing Andrew finished it ahead of time but oh well, it's so beautiful I told him to make it public now.  =]

I haven't seen too many pics with Steve that I've seen either, nothing as beautiful as Andrew's work. 

Edit: Woot, my new profile pic loaded!  :D

I'm posting this here, for those who don't read the other threads. So far, there's no confirmation of anybody going to PAX who can flag down Dusty and thank him for his work (he wrote Steve Cortez).

If you're going, please do coordinate with him so that he could be in the BioWare booth (or wherever they set up) at a specific time for a meet and greet. (And then you better come back here and tell us about it.)

Unfortunately for me and my fellow LDs, level design is something that is hard to show or describe, so the general public isn’t too interested in us. I did talk a few years back at GDC before the release of ME2, but that was to other game designers. I’ll be at PAX this year, but for my own fun; not professionally. If any of you happen to go to PAX as well and you see me, for goodness sake say hello. It would make my day.

 A vote for Garrus/James/Steve tie as most adorable squadmates
And a bump for this thread since I love communicating with fellow Gaymers :D 

EDIT: I apologize if "gaymers" is offensive to anyone, I just like that name.

Yep, more gay,lesbian,trans, bi characters would be nice. Mass effect 3 started to having them enough, but maybe little bit more. Maybe 2-3 lesbian,2-3 gay, 2-3 bi teammate characters, so we would have more to choose from. Or maybe some romancing people could be from the citadel, or other colony and not in the crew or something like that. So if there would be 3 each, then there would be around 12 teammates. 2, then 8 teammates. MAybe that two each type would be generally well enough, that way there would not be too many teammates and they could develop the characters more deep. :)

 

But where`s transgender people? Or has mass effect universe`s medical developed so advanced that they could alter their bodies very accurately to their true identity?
