This is the drawing of my first and only LI in the mass effect series. What do you all think? I tried my best.
Great likeness on Kaidan there!
Just sent mine in. Letter's kind of insane and rambling, but there you go. Pic I ended up putting in:
Messed up Liara's crest a little and her mouth isn't quite right, but I'm overall happy (and would ruin it I'm sure if I try to fix it...)
You really did a great job. Your picture captured the emotion of everlasting love, while mine is on the border of lust.

The problem is I sent you files that were optimised for the web, at a 72DPI resolution. To look good in PDF design I might have to send you the higher resolution files. Especially with the style I use, the lower resolution tends to obliterate it.
The only issue is that higher resolution files mean higher file sizes. I can easily send you 3MB files, but I'm guessing that might be bad... I'd have to play around with InDesign to see if I can reach some kind of happy medium between acceptable print quality and file size.

AND A Letter:
Dear BioWare,
Once again I would like to thank you for making the epic Sci-Fi Trilogy known as Mass Effect. There has been no greater Sci-Fi Trilogy since Star Wars, and Mass Effect joins the ranks of said films.
Now to the point: It is indeed true that you are creating and "Extended Cut" for the endings of Mass Effect 3. In my previous letter, I have mentioned Miranda, being my ONLY Love Interest. Since she was unable to join my squad, I would very much like to see her in some sort of Epilogue in the Extended Endings. I chose to destroy the Reapers, and since my "Military Strength" was above 6000 (Along with the Readiness Rating of 100%) the blast of the Crucible killed the Reapers only, sparing all organic life, including my own. I am hoping that Miranda survived as well, and I would very much love to see my Shepard and Miranda Reunited on Earth. I want this to be a GOOD/HAPPY Reunion. I don't want to see Shepard finding a dying Miranda. A happy reunion scene should exist for all other players who have different Love Interests as well. This is included with the question, "What happens next for all of the Characters we know and love?" A lot of us do not want to imagine it, we want to actually it happen. Anyway, having a sweet reunion with Miranda would most definitely put a smile on every Miranda Romancer in the world, including yours truly. It shouldn't be much for you to handle. If you can make a Sci-Fi epic of great proportions, then you can easily pull this off. Please, BioWare....though this may be proven impossible for the Control and Synthesis Endings, there are still thousands out there, me included, who want to see our Miranda again.
Sincerely,
Luis AKA MASSEFFECTfanforlife101

The picture can go in, thank you so much!
THe only thing about your letter is that it's not exactly what we're looking for in this project. For the letter we wanted you to address something along the lines of: What did your Shepard see in (LI)? Did you see your Shepard as having
something in common with one LI in particular? How would you describe
the dynamic of their relationship? What about the interaction of the two
characters did you find particularly satisfying from an emotional
standpoint, to witness? How much did this aspect of the game add to your
overall enjoyment of Mass Effect?
Basically, write from your Shepard's perspective. Here's an example:
Dear BioWare,
My Jaine Shepard was a colonist and "Ruthless". She
had seen some terrible things, and done some terrible things. She
romanced Kaidan during the hunt for Saren, but he was too "good" for
her. To Jaine, he had made one mistake by accident a long time ago, and
she had made many bad decisions on purpose, and just couldn't seem to
let it go.
When Jaine woke up on the Lazarus station, she saw it
as a chance to do better and move forward without the iron fetters to
her past. She still had that hard edge, that tendency to lash out when
diplomacy might have suited better, but instead of beating herself up
over it, she just used to fuel her desire to be different. This was her
new chance, she wasn't going to screw it up.
Seeing Kaidan on
Horizon was, difficult. She had "hardened" Garrus during their time on
the SR1, so meeting up with him wasn't so awkward. But Kaidan; he had
changed and it wasn't her fault. Worse, he blamed her for it. She hadn't
chose to die, to leave him mourning her for two years! She'd been
dragged back from death to do her damn job and despite her determination
to do better, she wasn't about to take the blame and all the mental
anguish that goes with it, for something she didn't do. Jaine was done
with Kaidan; his email was an insult and she didn't respond.
When
she met Thane, the half-harnessed beast inside her, calmed inside its'
cage. She couldn't get the image of his cool stare, his body outlined by
the red and orange light of dawn, out of her head. He was very sure of
himself, and his skills. The news of his terminal illness, his eventual
death- if the suicide mission didn't do it- she swatted it away like an
insect.
She was determined to get to know him and quickly found
herself developing feelings for the drell. Jaine was the Butcher of
Torfan, but she wasn't racist, and wasn't concerned with his history;
for a long time, she had considered the military a means by which to
murder many, only with ribbons of honor and duty and patriotism tied to
it. Jaine saw no difference between her occupation and Thane's. She had
no problem loving an alien, and seized each day with a ferocious joy; to
do what she'd been brought back to do, to save people and stop the
Reapers, and to spend every free moment she could with Thane. Because he
was her equal. She couldn't push him around, he could hold his own in
combat and conversation. He understood what terrible deeds done in the
past do to a body, but like Jaine, he was trying to live in the present.
This is why I can't accept the culmination of Thane and
Shepard's relationship in Mass Effect 3. Shepard doesn't get to say the
things she should have been able to say; she doesn't get to tell Thane
she loves him. She doesn't get any opportunity to show some emotion at
his deathbed; denial, tears, anger. She doesn't get to express disbelief
that nothing still can be done for Thane, or demand why other treatment
options aren't available. I loved nearly everything about the Thane
romance in ME2; I only wish I could say the same for its' conclusion in
ME3.

I only heard about this about a week ago and I've been drawing ever since, but it's still going to be a close call as to whether or not I finish in time. So the big question for me is, what time on the 25th are submissions due (and in what timezone)? Hopefully a last minute entry won't be necessary, but this one has been giving me trouble, so you never know. Here's a preview of what I'm (hopefully) submitting:

Dear Bioware,
My Karin Shepard was born on Earth and had to spend her childhood in a slum. Her past was marked by violence, fear and anxiety. These experiences solidified her and Karin Shepard hid her feelings behind a mask to hide the severity. Finally, when she had joined the Alliance, this attribute helped to make the hard decisions as rationally as possible. Her feelings were always hidden behind the facade of a perfect commander. Karin never showed how much she had been hurt inside.
As she began the hunt for Saren, Shepard had seen more than any human being had seen before. Karin's feelings were out of proportion at this time and with almost impervious strength they pursued the renegade Spectre through the universe. Her mask was broken on Virmire and for the first time she felt as frightened as she had always felt on earth. Kaidan had been there for her and together they had endured the pain of loss. United by the common grief, she fell in love. Even though Karin was afraid about these feelings at first, Kaidan’s love gave her strength to stop the fight and defeat Saren. What Karin would not guessed, was that everything would become much worse.
Karin overcame death and found herself in a situation that she had never imagined: Cerberus had brought her back and they seemed to be the only ones who took the Reapers seriously. Karin was overwhelmed by this situation. Her former enemy was her ally now? Karin found it hard to believe, but she realized that she had to accept it, because it was the only way. Once again her sense of responsibility prevailed over her own emotions, but the inner conflict grew more and more. Just at that time she would like to have Kaidan at her side, but he was not reachable. And then Horizon came.
Karin felt sick when she began to realize how the collectors captured the colonist. Fear and dread seized her as she struggled with Garrus and Mordin against the host of monsters. Concern about Kaidan drove her forward, as well as the fear that they had kidnapped him as well. Her heart beat painfully against her chest, but she would never have expected what came after.
The Collector ship escaped and Kaidan came up to her. Karin's heart beat fast with joy when she saw that he was all right, but everything had changed. Instead of a joyous welcome Kaidan seemed almost shocked to see her again. He could not believe that Karin was alive. He did not want to acknowledge that she was now working for Cerberus. Instead of a beautiful, loving comeback, he labeled her a traitor. At that moment, her heart broke into a thousand pieces. Karin could not believe that he did not trust her after all they had been through together. Kaidan saw her only as a traitor, the renegade alliance member. He could no longer be with a woman like that, and he left a completely distraught Karin on Horizon.
Garrus wanted to talk to her about it, but Karin shut him out. No one should see her as weak as she felt at that moment. Nobody should see the unsecure child who cried a river that night.
After this event, Karin fell formally into the work. She sought distraction in order to regain the composure that Kaidan had robbed her of.
Finally, she met Thane Krios, the infamous Drell assassin. Someone like him could be useful, but when she met him in Nassana’s office, she noticed right away that he was different from she what had imagined him to be. An aura of spirituality surrounded him and stood in strong contrast to his profession, but that fascinated her. After her experience with Kaidan she had enough of typical soldiers, and Karin sought Thane out.
Karin could not deny that she was interested in Thane, and afterwards she often went down to ‘Life Support’ to talk with him. His views of philosophy and religion were fascinating, even if she had never been interested in these topics before. In her past had been no room for faith, but she began to understand why it helped Thane to get through life.
Increasingly, Karin felt the urge to go to the ‘Life support’ if she felt troubled. Thane’s understanding manner penetrated her soul as Karin had left each one. The craziest thing was that she did not even notice it. Thane had just always been honest with her and he told her more than once that he disapproved of her behavior. Karin never would have thought, but it felt good, to have someone questioned her reasons.
After several weeks, Thane Krios finally told Karin about his past and she realized that despite their differences, they had much in common. They both had suffered; they both knew the pain of losing love. After they had found his son, she saw how much Thane was still caught in it and she could understand his feelings. Kaidan was not even out of her own head.
And then Thane called Karin "Siha" for the first time. First of all she had been angry about his game, but when Thane finally explained what his nickname meant, it completely threw her off track. This word was so powerful, so full of confidence that it almost stunned Karin. All of her crew members charged her unconditionally, but that Thane gave her such an important position in his religion made her heart beat faster. There and then, Shepard noticed for the first time that something had developed between them.
Then the letter from Kaidan arrived, where he apologized to her but at the same time told her he had met another woman during her death. Karin knew that she could not blame him, but it hit her hard. All the emotions that she had finally displaced broke out. Tears burned in her eyes. Driven by an inner restlessness, she ran down to life support, to get Thanes support and advice.
Karin told him everything that had happened with Kaidan. She had never spoken about it before, but she poured her heart out to Thane. He simply listened to her, not interrupting once. He just looked at her with large, sympathetic eyes.
Finally, Thane asked her a simple question that changed everything: "This man hurt you, Siha, right?"
It was such a simple question, but it met Karin like a hammer blow. She wanted to defend Kaidan, she wanted to say that she understood, but not a word passed her lips. Instead tears returned to her eyes. As always, Karin tried to hide her feelings behind her mask, but this time she failed. The angry tears fell quietly from her eyes. Her own weakness angered her. She stood up and hit the wall to cover the pain inside of her.
At this moment, Thanes tightened his strong arms around her body and pulled her close. His proximity comforted her. It was not only to feel physically warmth; it was that it was his warmth. Thane was there for her. He supported her with his sympathetic manner and his quiet words. At that moment, when the tears dried up, Karin knew she was going to fall in love with him. However, she was afraid that he might be just a replacement, that she developed these feelings just because Thane helped her with Kaidan. Karin did not want to hurt Thane, too. He did not deserve this. The feeling of fresh, slowly budding love frightened her.
When Karin laid in her bed that evening, she thought long about what happened in life support. His way of penetrating deep into her, taking out long-lost feelings, did not scared her, as she always had thought it would. No, it helped her. Thane was always there for her and he supported her with everything he had, both mentally and physically. Everything was now clear: she had fallen in love.
After a few days, during which she went out of the way to avoid Thane, and he accepted it, Karin noticed that she missed their talks. Finally she managed to gather the courage to tell him what she felt.
Thane looked surprised, but when he told her that he felt the same way, Karin felt happiness in her stomach that she believed lost forever. Everything in her body tingled. The first time she felt like she was home and Karin was no longer afraid to open herself completely to someone. Thane had gently removed her mask and saw the true Shepard behind it. Karin had been afraid that no one could appreciate her, and what she went through for a long time, but Thane loved her. His grace offered a power that Karin never expected to have. With Thane by her side, she felt like she could handle anything.
That’s why I’m against the treatment of Thane in Mass Effect 3. His strength, his kindness, and his support for Shepard seemed to be lost forever. Karin loved him to just be there for there, seeing how she really felt, but at hospital I did not felt the same deep relationship as I did in Mass Effect 2. I missed the deep philosophical Thane, and Karin would never, ever say that she went to hospital to see Kaidan. Thane is the love of her entire world and she would freeze down hell to just keep him alive.
