Description "What're you reading?" Garrus mumbled sleepily into Hael's shoulder.
"The Hobbit," she whispered in reply. "It's an old human novel about twelve dwarves, a wizard and a hobbit trying to take back the dwarves' home from a dragon."
"Mm..." He snuggled deeper into the chair. "Read it to me..."
Shepard chuckled and turned to the first page. "'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit..."

This is what I do instead of working on comics or answering notes, comments, replies... Going through that stack of 900+ deviations... Yeah. I DRAW ME SOME SHAKARIAN FLUFF! And spam the repeat button on Anna Nalick's song Forever Love (Digame), hence the title. It's super cute and mellow and-just listen to it: [link] It's great mood music.

So I found the 30 Day OTP challenge on tumblr one day [link] and went "OH HAY. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO WORK ON ALREADY LET'S HAVE SOME FUN" so I kinda started doing it. I also figured it would be a great way to practice more of what I've learned outside of comics. This is technically day 2 because day 1 is only half sketched but whatevers >.> I'll post them eventually.

BUT SHEPARD IN GARRUS'S SHIRT ADSFDHSAJDJAFHLSHFLKHAFHF

My main thing was shading in this one. Since I seemed to have forgotten how to use a soft brush, I went with old school flat cell shading to start. Which ended up working really well with the single bright light source, but it clashes a bit with the soft moons in the background. It's all a journey of learning

I'm just glad I finally found a decent color to shade Hael's skin with. IT'S LIKE THE HARDEST THING EVER!!

And I found an awesome fan art piece that helped me more than a bit with Garrus's plates and everything. I'm going to take a more simplistic approach next time >.>

I seem to be having issues with feet and their appropriate size.... I don't want to make them too small so I make them too big and ARGH. Apparently this is the thing in this period of my artistic development that I just can't get right.

I'll stop blabbing now. ENJOY THE FLUFFS! I'm going to go try and draw combat scenes....

Mass Effect belongs to Bioware
The Hobbit belongs to J.R.R. Tolkien (naturally )
