Wait Merylisk is an artist too? Why the hell haven't I seen your stuff? You have Femshep stuff right? Post them! I demand it!!! *Fist shake*

Hahaha I've posted a couple, but I'll post them again!!!

Here's a sketch of Anja and Kaidan lounging around in the captain's quarters.



Aaand here's an illustration thing I did for sagequeen's Valkyrie fic, The Color of Shepard's Panties

Oh Merylisk! Great stuff :3

I just followed you on Deviant Art Rana-E here

[meonlyred]

Awesome!!! And because I'm a narcissistic bastard... here are some of mine.






Sorry for the watermark but someone tried to steal some of my arts not to long ago.

The rest of my crap is here. Warning though, there might be side boob. Working on a new picture but I can't get Z. Shepard skin color right. Actually trying to make that one realistic and that is a MAJOR pain in the ass.

@ meonlyred: Wow, awesome! I wish I could draw original stuff like that. I can draw, but only when I have an finished example that I can, well, copy. For example, here's an drawing of FemShep that I still have to finish:


click for bigger version

Three guesses which picture is the original! Also I hate drawing mouths.

Anyway, I guess I'm just too much of a perfectionist to draw original stuff. Sometimes I try to sketch something, but I always end up frustrated by the fact that I can't immediately get it right. And by 'it' I mean proportions and stuff. How do you guys do that? I never took drawing classes (except for two years at high school, but I didn't learn that much there), but I've read somewhere that it's actually quite common for even the most experienced artists to look for photographes or other drawings to use as reference. Maybe I should try that sometime.

[merylisk]

It's something you pick up from experience. All faces share the same basic proportions, and after a while you start to get a sense of how different features look from various angles, etc. There are definitely techniques to help with this (I'm sure you've seen this, it's why people draw circles with lines on them to use as guidelines for heads, etc.) and many artists do use photographic references, especially if they're trying to capture a specific likeness or get a tricky pose. It really depends what you're trying to do!

edit: I mean, I always start my drawings with something like this when I do faces:



and then the next step is something like this:



and then I'll pop that into Photoshop and it'll end up like this:



It's rare that an artist can just sit down and churn out a finished, perfectly proportioned and rendered piece without at least some guideline sketches and/or references. I mean, even Renaissance painters had models pose for them!

Also, a FANTASTIC tip that a professor once gave me was to use old GI Joes as pose models instead of these things because they're a) more poseable and look more like people. You can go scour a local flea market or Salvation Army for them, because it doesn't matter how old or chewed up they are, since you're just using it for reference.

@merylisk: I love your sketch, it's so cute<3

@meonlyred: I love the cuddling picture with Kaidan and the intensity between Saren and Shep in the second one. I'm sorry to hear someone tried to steal your art. There's nothing worse than someone claiming your hard work as their own.

@Rikketik: That's a darn good looking femshep. I can't wait to see the complete version.

I've always wished I could draw but I can't even scribble a straight stick figure and my photoshoping skills are non-existent. I've never even taken an art class; I played an instrument that counted towards those class credits. I like to at least think I can write, so write I shall...


 Mercy had heard of the atrocities committed in Javik's cycle by both the protheans and the reapers, had listened to his stories of when his people turned the rachni into living weapons, when the reapers turned entire species' young into husks, and even less pleasant indications of what had been violated to create tools of war. None of his words or implications had sunk in until Mercy came across Sanctuary. The Illusive Man had voluntarily lured non-combatant refugees to a facility just so he could turn them into test subjects. He was turning humanity into slaves, weapons, she couldn't believe her eyes. Javik noted the dilation of her pupils and the way her mouth twitched with wordless anger.

He spoke in a soft bass that lacked the intensity with which he usually upheld; it was full of grim familiarity, neither chastising nor scolding in the wake of her lost nativity. "Yes, this process is known to me. You do not kill what can be useful. I'm sorry commander."

Mercy's hand twitched over the keyboard then balled into a fist. "So...it would seem. We're going to need a really big bomb."

Javik stayed silent, deciding to keep his disagreement to himself, for which Mercy was grateful. She might have flung a coffee mug or some other desk object at his giant prothean head. She knew he would justify all of this deceit by seeing another weapon that could be used against the reapers, a way to steal the enemies own slaves. Mercy silently vowed that if, in this war, she couldn't keep her dignity intact, she would at least keep her humanity.

Hey guys,

I don't plan to leave the thread and after rereading what I typed (gogo lack of caffeinated beverage) it sure sounded like I was leaving. Urk. Stupid text medium unable to relate context due to the typist's (me!) poor written communication skills. I also wasn't offended or anything, really. MizzNaa's post came right after I posted (6) pix of one of my Sheps. At first, it did seem at the very least I was the poster who broke the camel's back (Photobucket's thumbnails were mentioned and I use Photobucket) and prompted the reminder. I could have sworn the max was six pictures, and really, I was horrified to find out it was five.

So that's where I'm coming from. I'm not offended though at first, I was a little. I'm more awake now. Able to reason. Carry on.

And have an Erin. But only one.

I try to follow a rule of thumb: Over 200kb and I'll use a thumbnail.

Try to follow.

I do a little bit of drawing, although i wouldn't call myself an artist. Sorry for the quality image(my laptop cam).

                        

This is based on femshep concept with a more contemporary feel(the sword).
I've decided to post Akuze part 2 anyway. I'll try not to make it too long; then i'll post it on my blog.

@ merylisk: Yeah, I sometimes search for tutorials (on DeviantArt for example) and they always advise to start of with circles when drawing a face. It never really worked for me, although I did have some succes with applying circles in my drawings. In the hands for example; I never realized it, but the joints from your fingers always form a curved line, no matter the position of your fingers. This made drawing hands a little less of a pain.

So for example:


(This is Rise from Persona 4 , if anyone wondered)

It's not a perfect circle, but you get the idea.

So I haven't had succes with making the circle approach work with faces, but I do notice that I've drawn so many anime faces the last few years that it doesn't cost me much trouble to get the proportions right. It is as you say: practice makes perfect.

@ razviolet: Thank you!

Oh, and about that blog: I'm almost done updating it with Ayla's Story so far. Here's the link to what I believe (I'm still figuring out how everything works) is my blog's homepage: http://social.bioware.com/1415853/blog

Looks neat and tidy, if I say so myself. Posting everything there was a great suggestion, Ottemis.

I don't know about circles but that(Rise) looks good.

I'm adding this not get way off topic

@Rikketik: There was an old comic called the Tick which had an amusing "tutorial" on drawing.

It advised to start with the circle and the lines... then advised drawing the Tick holding the circle and lines in his hand.

Edit: Oops. Need something Femshep-related. (...and I haven't posted image links in awhile since I keep getting distracted by ME3 MP.)

Here is Edward, who is impatiently wondering when she'll get blown up, thrown into space, aphyxiated and start burning up in the atmosphere...


*Edware glares*

....and then goes off to save the galaxy!

Poor Edward.

[Sinapus]

Well, it happens to *every* Shep in that prologue scene in ME2.

[SaturnRing]

i was talking about when u would actually take her through ME2. She looks like she's itching for some action.

[Sinapus]

Oh yes. Well, the current MaleShep I'm playing is also getting a bit impatient with finishing his ME2 run. But nope, I just had to unlock the N7 Shadow over the weekend.

[SaturnRing]

I hope Operation Overwatch won't make it harder for you. And for Edward too.
 I sould be working on my fanfic. I'm having a late movie night instead. Alien. Close enough to Femshep.

Oh man, yeah. This was so great and really sad. When she's all "I was a colony kid..." it's just so sad. Especially because my Shepard could obviously relate, having been a colony kid herself. And Chobot's voice acting there is actually really solid. She just sounds so... hollow and resigned. It's really heartbreaking.

The part that kills me the worst about that is the reason why Bekenstein got hit. The Reapers destroying factories makes perfect sense from a strategic standpoint, but to have the factory that draws their wrath be one that doesn't have any impact on the war effort just hurts to think about.

@SaturnRing, damn straight and I agree with you on this! Most people misunderstood the krogan, but they are actually a interesting civilization. Sure, they did several things wrong in the past, but hell is anyone perfect. NO! Life is a never ending process, past is past and we have to learn from the past, even when it hurts. What counts is the future and nothing else!

@razviolet, glad you like them! the krogans are awesome, epsecially Wrex and Grunt!

Yeah yeah, renegading makes a lot fun from time to time and you are right, Rannoch is just a beautiful place to take photos! To be honest, it is one of my favourite locations in the Mass Effect Universe.

Besides that, your latest screenshots are "delicious" (once again). Keep it up!!!


What the hell is going on here? Am I crazy or why do I get those weird dreams every time I sleep? Watching a young boy, dying in fire and I can't help him! What's the meaning of this? Is it already too late for us?
......
It doesn't make sense to think about this, otherwise I ruin myself and I can't afford that! However, it is not that easy to put these memories away, especially when these memories are about friends. Kaidan sacrificed himself on Virmire, buying us time to defeat Saren and Sovereign. But now, he might think that his sacrifice was for nothing. Argh, what the hell I'm talking there?! And Mordin, sacrificed himself to cure the genophage and giving the krogan a new chance. I still can't believe this, because he always defended his work for the genophage, but somehow I think he realized that it was a mistake. Nobody has the right to play god! In the end, he will always be remembered for his great deed. Same about Kaidan. No matter where they are now, they will always be with us. They are one of us...
