Much better. And "not everyone's a supermodel"? Come on, guys. There aren't even any fat humans in the ME universe. His face looks more...normal now. Less derp. Good job.

I really don't understand any of you that prefer the original. If BioWare actually used the new design, he might actually get to shoot something.

Bioware's Vega looks like a meathead marine.
The OP's looks like a model.

Call me weird but I prefer the meathead marine to look like a meathead marine.

Yes there is.
Bioware just didn't feel the need to waste resources creating extra character models for NPCs.

What's next, we never see anyone do a sh*t therefore nobody sh*ts in the ME universe?

Personally, I never thought Vega's face looked derp (except for the armor pic, though that was more cuz of his eye piece thing). The new one does look "better" (more attractive, ideal Hollywood male lead look) but the original is more suited as the big-guy squadmate.

My personal take, anyway. Still, kudos to the OP for his work.

Now your James Vega, looks more like a main hero than a supporting character. You've  given him more passionate and determined look, but in exchange you've removed some of his calmness and ruthlessness.


No, he just changed his face and made it a bit thiner, changed his nose, etc.

We could arguably say that ME3 Kaidan looks better than canon Shepard, and he is also a supporting character.

Miranda was better looking than canon FemShep and it's also a supporting character.. .

So, don't see your point.

"Not everyone is a supermodel" ??? Did you know that the guy Shepard's face is based on WAS a supermodel? It seems everyone IS a supermodel.

Nice Photoshop skillz.:wizard:B)

As for James' new looks. Well, I am affraid, that you might have repurposed him.

I would say that Bioware and other successful professional studios are really good at creating the appearances of characters, which fit their personalities, roles in the game, personal stories, etc. (this was partially confirmed in those documents / articles about Mordin and his depiction as Cleant Eastwood among Salarian scientists or Grunt and his "baby face").

So I am pretty convinced that the "original" James Vega (or whatever his final name will be) looks as close to the looks his authors (writers?) imagined for him, when they were creating his story and role in Mass Effect 3, as possible.

Now your James Vega, looks more like a main hero than a supporting character. You've  given him more passionate and determined look, but in exchange you've removed some of his calmness and ruthlessness. At least that's the way I see it.=]


Smartest damn post I've read on this entire matter. Seriously people, as nice as this photoshop is, James already looked fine.

That's not the best analogy. Fact is, we see hundreds and hundreds of humans over the course of both games. And not one is overweight. Whatever the justification, there's not reason to assume any humans are. Or is there a codex entry I missed? You can't just say there are overweight humans when there isn't any evidence of them.

Looks even more like Soap Mctavish.


Haha! I thought the same exact thing.

If you could raise his torso a bit, and slightly decrease the size of his muscles I think that would be the icing on the cake. Either that or decrease the size of his legs, the whole body seems to be slightly off in its proportions.

Edit: Actually, you can keep it the same. The belt or whatever he's wearing on his waist made his torso look a lot smaller. I didn't even realize you gave him a six pack til I looked a third time. Good job!

The original face looks...kinda piggish TBH. I mean, If you really want him to look less 'perfect' you could make it a mix between the two, but he definitely needs some adjustment from his current look. No way is a piggish face 'rugged.'

The analogy fits fine.

We see hundreds and hundreds of humans over the course of both games and yet we do see anyone do a sh*t.
Come to think of it we don't see any nipples, vaginas or penises either does that mean they don't exist?

Seriously what's more likely:
Everyone in the entire ME universe has the exact body shape except for a few individuals on Shepard's team.

OR

It's a game so naturally it has limitations and thus cannot show people of all body types.


Oh and

obesity, along with all major forms of Human benetic problems and disease are gone. There aren't any midgets either, and TIM can smoke all he wants. People should read the codex entries more. The EARTH codex entry sums it up pretty much. Cerberus can bring people back from the dead but we can't fight fatness? FAIL

Please add a note to the OP saying that the one in the left is yours, since I have seen 2 people get confused already.

Your version is to close to canon male shep, albeit with better facial hair. Would never work.

I agree.



Also new one looks a lot like Soap from MW2.
Did I ever said I hate almost everything from that game and Soap is one of them?

Lol, nooooooooooooooo!!!

Personally, I would have preferred his hairstyle to look less douchy, and his face to be more manly. This altered version looks too pretty for my tastes.

And by "more manly" I mean, more prominent brow/nose/jaw/etc..

E.g. Chabal:

or Arishok:

That kind of thing... The kind of face that might actually impress a krogan.

Seriously, though, as long as he's a well written character I'm not too bothered by his current appearance.
