Now I don't frequent other fanthreads for characters that much; once in a blue moon flyby when someone points something out or whatever. But I do wonder, sidestepping the Talimancer's block on Fan Street (because sometimes that place slides straight into creepy raincoat-wearing territory), how many other romanceable character's threads have art with this kind of genuine tenderness in it? I mean, sure, there are plenty of shall we say more adult-oriented artworks around, sure, and there's a couple of sweet ones with Femme-Shep and Garrus (although the whole chafing question is inescapable), but how common is this elsewhere? Because that Axl, is beautiful.

And it's not even finished. Damn, we're good!

Well, there are some tender Thane+Shep fan arts too :-)

The Jack thread seems to have the most talented artists.

Speaking candidly, I wanted to present my opinion regarding the Jack romance, and see what people think. Note that I'm not trying to flame anyone or their preferences; she wasn't made to be easily likeable, and those of you who do like the romance are clearly seeing something that I'm not. That said...

I don't hate Jack, and I don't think that the possibility of a romance with her is a bad thing (though making it straight-only... that decision, I like less). The problem I have is that it's utterly eviscerated by ME2's general lack of deep interaction with squadmates; this is something that's essential with someone like Jack. And it's not easy to just imagine out of the air, like it is with several of the other LIs; you're having to break through emotional armor left by a lifetime of trauma that is, to almost all of the game's players, literally unimaginable. As presented in-game, it's too fast, too total, and possibly worst of all, totally one-sided. It's true that no one in the game aside from Jacob, Kelly and Liara ever asks about Shepard's feelings, but like with the problem of speed, it hurt's Jack's romance a hell of a lot. It's like she's Shepard's supplicant at the end, especially with the romance cutscene, which could have been sweet but which I just find creepy.

Willing suspension of disbelief.
 
Realistically you can't expect a vast amount of in-depth conversations giving the pace of the game and the amount of squadmates.
And there are certain conversations that hint at the amount of time that has gone by, so I chalk it up just not witnessing all of their talks.

Sorry to hear you found it creepy.

I'm just tired of people portraying Shepard as being in his/her early 20's. He/she is a battle hardened soldier before being a Spectre. I agree with JD.

Sorry to hear you found it creepy.

If they'd cut off the shot with Jack lying down, that would have made me feel many times less unclean.

Personally, if Jack were played in the ME movie I'd want it to be done by Olivia Wilde. IMO if she shaved her head, she'd look pretty similar. I also think Wilde could pull off that character too.

In my perspective, I think the scene was done quite well. The way I was looking at it, basically It showed that there was no rush towards having sex and that they were both in the moment of just being with each other, not caring about anything else. Mostly just focusing on being able to hold on to each other.

Although it's not finished yet, it's refreshing to see a Shepard that doesn't look...young.  Not just his face, but in particular his hairline.  Although it could be just that it's unifinished. 

I was a little disappointed that Bioware didn't include a shade of grey for Shepard's hair in the character creator.

Shep's 31 (or 33 depending on how you view it) iirc. I know it's canon he's in his 30's.

Yeah, I knew that he was in his early to mid 30s. You think that since Shep is in his 30s that he wouldn't or shouldn't have grey hair and/or a receding hair line, and that he should look young, Loki?  Or are you speaking specifically about the default male Shepard, and how he looks?

Edit:  Not to put words in your mouth though, in case I'm misunderstanding you, but Sheps age is common knowledge, so I assumed you were maybe trying to make a point.  

Eh, I dunno. It depends like all people-one maleshep (the one that ended up with Jack actually) looks dreadful though; I'd put him in his mid 40's myself he looks that weathered and generally old. I guess it depends. All depends on the whole 'humans luive to 150' thing shep can mention in ME1 to Liara. Is it a the D&D half-elf system, where you just sorta of hit middle age and stay there for a while, or is hit 80 and stay like that for a while?

Uhmmm

Lover - check...?
Tease - check
Denial - check
Stalker - probably yes
Insane - double check
Abusive - double check
Possessive - probably yes

What does it mean!?

[Mondo47]

I'd argue the insane to the hilt, but I'd say Jack belongs on an arc somewhere on the left-hand side of the scale, starting between Lover and Denial, swinging harder outward close to Abusive and Posessive, curving through the median and receding towards Lover... like a wave as opposed to a bell curve. And she moves up and down the line based on mood.

I'll try and draw it. This should be highly amusing...

Addendum: IF the BSN gets its head out of its ass and stops logging me out <_<
