Description
Now, first off i must say that whenever i play mass effect i may have, what one may call, a small yet extremely severe crush on Garrus Vakarian.I.. just.. can't resist.
I didn't actually like him that much in mass effect 1, he was just a bro. But he ever gradually grew on me and now i can safely call myself a one Turian kind of woman. (oh god that's cheesy)
Anyways, enough about that. I am quite happy with how this came out. I haven't been doing human anatomy for long at all, so it's a forever improving and experimental process. i mean look! a hand! i mean, a hand that actually looks like a hand! Yay!
This Shepard isn't actually anything like my in game shep, more like a sort of cross between her and myself in real life i guess. I was quite annoyed when i first started ME1 that there wasn't a longhair option. Terribly vexed.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoy.
Oh! Also! All you folks checkout this Fanfic by
i am not a fanfic reader, at all, but after finding this by chance and deciding to give it a shot i found myself addicted. Seriously, read it dudes. Iz good. [link] Do it. DO IT I SAY!
Hand drawn, colored digitally.
all characters related to Mass effect (c) Bioware
EDIT: This work is now featured as a chapter icon for that aforementioned fanfic. Hence I am now ecstatically happy to the point that i actually felt my heart start beating again. which is a big deal actually.
I count this as the current high point of my artistic career so far (i say 'so far' with great optimism, since the term 'career' in application to myself is rather laughable. Hahaha....)
Thanks Roark.

I really like this. Except one thing; her fingers look way too thick. It looks like a female's hand has been attached to a male's fingers.

Thanks for the feedback. I was never any good at hands. This is about 3 years old and i still can't do them...
HAAAAAANDDDSSSS!!!!
At the time i was just happy it looked human and not a tentacled alien appendage, but i see exactly what you mean.
Thanks though. I rarely get constructive criticism.

Shep- 'I couldn't do this without you, Garrus.'
Gar- 'Sure you could. Not as stylishly, of course.'

Yes, because my way of things needs to be done with a partner who is, cool but not at my level of, coolness. Damn that was lame.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Smooth Garrus, very smooth. Don't worry, you'll always be the coolest, sometimes even cooler than me (don't let that get to your head big guy).
Besides, aren't there calibrations you should be doing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I'll work on that.
Oh, um....about that..... Grunt thought it would be a cool Idea to poor Vodka on the Main Battery and now basically the sense of direction on the Normandy has gone to shit, So Shepard put us on shore leave, now I'm staying with my sister till the week is up. Gotta say I miss it, but I keep my sanity level at bay, because, my sister's car keeps "Breaking down"

Interesting, I didn't have Grunt pegged as a Vodka guy, i would of thought Ryncol since it's usually the number one choice for most Krogan. And i'm pretty sure that stuff can corrode anything it touches like acid. Glad to know you're keeping yourself busy though. And i hope the Normandy's navigational systems get repaired soon, they're good for, you know, navigating and stuff.

Indeed, Oh.....Ryncol.....Hope I can keep him away from that....He has a tendency of screwing things up. And thank you for the hope, we really need it. Yeah, the past month has really been a bummer for me, all of the crew actually. Tali, got an infection, I guess her mask wasn't set right, and now she's 'under the weather'. But, oh, sorry I guess I'm putting you down in the mood.

Seems you really needed the shore leave then. Tali is getting careless if she isn't sealing her helmet properly.
Just put your feet up and have a few beers mate, seems to me you just need to relax.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Your right. Actually James agrees too, he's actually pointing two thumbs up. Well, it's expected of him to get excited over the mention of alcohol. Anyway, mordin already spoke to Tali about her careless act's, and she now realizes her mistakes....whoa, I just sounded really old and wise when I typed that.

Garrus is pretty cheesy. But that's one of his quirks. His adorable befuddlement when it comes to real relationship. Its like he forgets he totally and amazingly attractive. But I'm not attracted to his looks. I was captured by his eyes, and the way the look and the way he looks at you. And the sound of his voice and how he speaks to you. Its the first time I've really crushed over someone for those reasons. Usually when I get the hots for a guy its because of his looks or his body. But Garrus is a totally different sort of guy. A guy you really can imagine spending the rest of your life with and not just a guy you want to get in bed with. Though I wouldn't mind. ;3

Well said, and like you typed, My voice really does melt women's heart. No pun intended.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Didn't you hear? Its not just the sound of his voice but what he says and how he says it that makes him so appealing. He's funny when you want him to be and sincerely caring when you need him to be. You can tell how much he really cares.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep, that is true.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
i honestly couldn't of put it better myself. That really is the truth of it, and why i guess it's not an instantaneous thing when/if you start crushing on him. It has nothing to do with physical appearances, it's the personality and the building of the relationship with the character that should draw you in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, you could really say it was an accident. I didn't know about the whole romance thing when I talked to him about "easing tension." And I was so embarrassed afterwards. "Oh my gawd, what did you make me say?!!" And though it was easing tension, I'm glad they didn't show much more then the head bump. The real relationship doesn't actually start till ME3 anyways. That's where I really fell for him and decided to become a "One Turian kind of woman."

I had no interest in ME (particularly since I find canon Male shep really annoying) until I walked in my husband playing a scene with Garrus in it. I was like "OMFG WHO'S THAT?!" Needless to say I've been hooked on the ME universe, games included, ever since.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel the same way about male shep. ugh. Glad to see another ME convert, no one can resist Garrus' mighty charm! Wrex actually initially got me into the first ME. He looked awesome and i couldn't wait to see if he was as butt-kicking & head smashing as he looked. I broke out my shotgun and together we released hell upon the universe! MWAH HA HA! ... well that was my fantasy anyway. sadly universe needed saving not breaking.

Well you can kick a guy out a window when you recruit Thane, that's pretty satisfying
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Definitely very satisfying. And punching the reporter, infinitely cathartic.

Challenge accepted! As the challenged party, i choose machetes. We shall meet at the break of dawn, and fight, to the death if need be, for the honor of Garrus!
And a fair warning to you, i shall prevail.. indeed, i shall

You have such a journey ahead of you my friend! God, what i'd give to experience all the games for the first time again! (says the person currently in the process of playing ME2 for the 7th time (obviously not obsessed then)) I'm actually excited for you!

This is adorable.

my experience exactly. He was my Bro, my right hand guy, i didn't even know he was romancable when i started ME2 (i avoid spoilers like the plague). But then when he turned out to be archangel, and then taking that missile... man, i had horrible visions of a world without Garrus... i didn't want to live there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same I thought I had done something wrong when he took that missile and was going to die. I was ready to reload my save. Well how nice for you, my brother actually spoiled it for me when I was playing the first game and said "Well Garrus is a romance option in ME2".
