Description So this is the WIP for the comic that I'm doing for my portfolio that'll send to Gothenburgs University. Inspired mostly by Lana Del Rey's song 'Dark Paradise'. Here's the [link] to the song.

Feel free to give me both good and bad critique, because I really want - and NEED - this to be the best piece I've ever done, if I'll be sending it as a part of my portfolio.

As this is only the WIP, the pictures are VERY 2D, with little to no shading, no colors and hardly any backgrounds, so that I already know and I will of course fix that for the finished piece.

PLEASE comment!!

UPDATE
And here's the finished and colored version:


Do not copy or steal! D:<

Art, Avery Shepard © me.
Thane Krios, Mass Effect Universe © BioWare.

Beautiful... and believable to me if Shepard - like us - was confronted with those choices at the end. Personally I'd rather have shot the StarChild then myself if I couldnt do anything other than do what we did..
... or rage quit = same thing lol

I love how everyone's experience is different - never romanced Thane, missed him when we went tho

Yeah, I know how you feel. I'm the kind of person who experiences the game through my characters, so when I played with Avery, I wept as child, but with Markus and Quinn, who romanced others, it felt like I lost a friend.

I don't really imagine Shepard really considering suicide unless most of all the worst scenarios happen in 3 but she sure does like to keep things in. That aside this is beautiful, the song also is as well, I wish there was some kind of dream Shepard had of Thane. I mean, she can dream about not saving some boy she barely knew but not about the man she loved? I was pissed let's say. Never the less, wonderful work

It's not that Thane died and she felt so alone that she wanted to end her own life, but with what happened in ME2 (she lost half her crew, what happened in the Arrival DLC), and then with the war going on and everyone putting the weight of the world on her shoulders while not wanting to help her because they're dealing with their own problems, she feels that it's hopeless because all she can do is watch the galaxy losing the war. Not to mention she wasn't thrilled about being brought back from the dead. I hope that explains it so that it makes a bit more sense. ^^
But I'm glad you liked it.

I have no real muse, so I can only blame myself X'3

lol I can't really claim one either. I probably shouldn't go blaming anyone other than myself, but it's just too tempting sometimes. XD

Annnywaaays! You art and stories are very very good.

I just realized you did the pic for materfae's blood and thunder. I love the way you drew them!

AmandaSylvia In reply to guen20 [2012-04-24 19:46:13 +0000 UTC]

I know how that is X'3 Unfortunately, I live on the countryside where I haven't bothered getting many friends as I am a bit of an odd bird, so I don't have that many I can blame my laziness on X'3

I'm glad you like my work! ^_^ And I did the picture of Maeve and Anders, I've done two actually, and one for her Blood and Lust too

Same for me! I haven't read all of the chapter for Lost and Found yet though, because I have so many Mass Effect fanfics I want to read. X'3

Oh I'm the same way. I'm half way through celticwolfwalker.deviantart.com/ 's ME fanfic ATM. Soo good. I haven't bought an actual book in ages bc the works I'm finding here have me engrossed!

AmandaSylvia In reply to guen20 [2012-04-24 21:28:41 +0000 UTC]

Me neither. I bought a book called 'The name of the wind' a few months ago but I still haven't finished it because I have so many fanfics I want to read X'3

AmandaSylvia In reply to guen20 [2012-04-24 22:06:16 +0000 UTC]

I can't count all the books I still haven't finished. I'm reading Dragon Age: Stolen Throne, and then I have The Calling. I'm also reading Mass Effect: Revelations, but I haven't finished that one because I don't want it to end X'3 And I won't even try to count all the book I have but haven't even started to read! >.<

guen20 In reply to AmandaSylvia [2012-04-24 22:28:15 +0000 UTC]

heh I have those dragon age books! Also not finished with them. I'm a book nut and have loads just most are read and reread and reread again lol. I don't get out much

I need to pick up that revelations book!

AmandaSylvia In reply to guen20 [2012-04-24 23:54:56 +0000 UTC]

Same here. Same here... X'3 The only reason I get out these days are because I have to walk my dogs!

Get the Revelations book, it's awesome! The only reason I stopped reading it was because I got halfway through and then I was like "NU-UH, NO! I'm not finishing this! It's too good to ever end! ;_;" X'3

guen20 In reply to AmandaSylvia [2012-04-25 04:00:55 +0000 UTC]

I.. do get out. Hell I'm a mom. I don't have much choice if I want healthy, happy, reasonably well rounded kids. But I am a homebody, and perfectly content to be so. Luckily, I married a gamer and another homebody, so we're two of a kind that way.

Will do on the book !

Oh I'm quite old hehe! I'm glad you realize you might be too young for marriage and children. There's plenty of time and no rush. Too many young people rush these things.

AmandaSylvia In reply to guen20 [2012-04-25 13:17:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I know I'm the same age as my Mom was when she got pregnant with me, and it worked out great for her and my Dad, but I've barely decided what I want to do with my life. And I don't want to be tied down to that kind of responsibility yet, because there's so many things I want to do before that. ^^

guen20 In reply to AmandaSylvia [2012-04-25 13:24:35 +0000 UTC]

It does get harder to do things once kids are a part of your life. I even recommend new couples stay kid free for a few years after they marry. Just to enjoy time alone for a bit.
