Description There was only ever one person for my Shepard, and that person was Kaidan Alenko. Getting to watch these two awkward dopes slowly build a relationship over the course of the trilogy was a personal highlight for me as a gaymer who just wanted to have the same fun everyone else was having in this incredible universe.
And as I prepare to take these two on their final adventure with tomorrow’s DLC I just want to say thanks Bioware, from the bottom of my sappy heart.

awwwwwwww! not gonna lie, knowing how it all ends, and seeing this, it actually made me tear up...its such a BEAUTIFUL picture and u can see the love they have for each other...being a gaymer, I LOVED seeing their relationship go from friendship to romance.

[gasp.] Oh my god, yes! This picture is amazing! I actually remembered that one fanfiction you were commissioned to do an artpiece for when I saw this, and it mentioned how Shepard always loved his models. This is like so perfect for it and everything else! Oh geez, I'm like fangirling here. How embarrassing.

And dude, I feel the same way. I made a Shepard special for Kaidan as soon as I heard he was (finally) a romance option for manShep. Even when I didn't know, I waited. And then it happened; Jason Shepard (Vanguard, custom face) finally got to be with the man he loved from the beginning. Sure, we had to wait...but it was worth it.

Thank you for your artwork, thank you BioWare for letting this happen outside our minds. Day one purchase of Citadel, here I come!

D'aw, you bring a tear to my eye.

I love the painting. Look at these two adorkable dopes! It's just so cute! I'm really looking forward to the Citadel DLC!

The picture itself is perfect in every way, but then that description had my heart breaking. It was an amazing journey and these two were by far my favorite relationship to develop throughout.
Every one of your pieces of them capture them so perfectly. You're amazing!

Once again, amazing work. These two mean a lot to me, and I'm so glad they mean a lot to you, too. It's always nice to have a super talented artist on your side.

...and thank YOU Andrew for enriching my Mass Effect experience with your fantastic artwork. You've shown us things that might happen after the endings as well as the characters in alternate realities. (your Mass Effect/Dragon Age crossover was brilliant!) And while tomorrow will mark the end of my Shepard's story (who likewise knew that it would always be Kaidan), it's a comfort to know that the game and your beautiful creations will always be within reach should I wish to revisit the magic once more.

Again, thanks a million for everything, Andrew.

What I'm most sad about, is that we won't get to see as much art of these two from you now that this is their last adventure.

oh Kaidan and Carric. I'm so glad I wrote you two getting married.

Now...I just need to figure out what to do with them and my thoughts on making a "Can't fight this feeling" video

i can't help imagining Shep making dumb "spaceship" noises as he pretends to fly the model
i love adorably awkward romances, which is why Garrus and femShep are one of my favorite pairs (and the romance i always pick for my Shep).
also this is a gorgeous piece of art.

Mizutanitony In reply to ??? [2013-03-04 21:56:29 +0000 UTC]

My weirdest part for my second main Male Shepard, Carric, was like 2 missions later Kaidan says "You didn't wake me up before you left?"

I just thought "Dude it's been like 3 days?! You animals!"

and then I thought... "Ah well it's been 5 years in the making."

Whisper-Of-Night In reply to Yarron [2013-03-05 00:05:58 +0000 UTC]

Actually, if you have PC, you can use "mod" that enables romance with Kaidan (that was actually planned into 1st game, just cut off, [or blocked off, maybe?]), which have it's special lines, and the second and third game are recognising the choice of your m!Shepard romancing Kaidan.

Whisper-Of-Night In reply to Yarron [2013-03-06 21:27:26 +0000 UTC]

Know your pain, bro, I played on console, too. But, cheer up- I think the players, who romance Kaidan for first time, gets some extra dialogue lines, which are cute, and nice, and fuzzy, and the players who did used the mod (or romanced Kaidan with f!Shepard) don't >D

AndrewRyanArt In reply to Yarron [2013-03-04 22:12:49 +0000 UTC]

Yes it's true, I don't really mind though since it kind of allows Shep and Kaidan to become good friends before jumping into a relationship.

Ishild In reply to AndrewRyanArt [2013-09-17 20:00:05 +0000 UTC]

Agreed.Β  To me it was like Kaidan was always there but it took Shep longer to see it.
