Description First page of the comic adaptation of *Spyke1985 's alternate universe Mass Effect fanfiction! Go read the rest of Chapter 1 here! [link]

I was asked by the wonderful to collaborate with her and I just had to say yes! It's another Shekarian fan fic (because Shekarian is teh ) featuring the very unique Taren Shepard

Do keep in mind that this is in an alternate universe so things won't follow the original story exactly. Which keeps it fresh and interesting in my opinion!

I tried something different with my comic style this time around. I think I might incorporate more of this into And So They Fall (which will still be done I assure you!!)

Mass Effect belongs to Bioware
When You're Strange belongs to *Spyke1985

Ugh, so I saw! Take a deep breath, and tackle one thing at a time. It's all you can do.
I believe in you!

I get why it's called When You're strange now! Taren is obviously a vampire.

DragonoftheDark In reply to Grusnoid [2013-01-15 00:46:56 +0000 UTC]

Or is she?

Although a vampire Shepard would be interesting... I'm not fond of what the whole vampire craze has done to them, but they're still one of my favorite creatures.

I read up to the point of the story of what Taren actually is. But yeah, I like The Lost Boys, and The Doors song, People Are Strange is used a lot in that film. One of Joel Schumacher's greatest films. Right up there with Falling Down, and Phone Booth. (The other Kiefer Sutherland movie he did with Scumacher.)

I really need to watch The Lost Boys again, it's been way too long! And I'll have to watch the other two as well!

Grusnoid In reply to DragonoftheDark [2013-01-16 03:48:27 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure about the other two. I thought the original was fine being a stand alone film. Joel Schumacher really hit it out of the park with the original Lost Boys, as being the ultimate teen fantasy of doing what you want, when you want, and never growing old. Just like the Lost Boys from Peter Pan. I have no idea what the other two are like, but I don't think you can top Kiefer Sutherland as a villan. Especially in Phone Booth where Kiefer is a voice on a pay phone that torments Colin Farrell. That and I got a chuckle out of this bit. [link]

If I find myself in the position to watch them, I'll do so :3

Not growing old would be nice... I'm at that stage in life where adult responsibilities really hit you hard and I miss my childhood >.>

LOL I gotcha. If you want to know why her teeth are like that, the fanfic this was spawned from will answer it. I don't wanna post any spoilers for those who may want to just go by the comic, so I'll let you discover it on your own

Ah... I love this story and having a comic to go with it is beyond awesome. That last panel too man... those teeth both excite and scare me. Great drawings too BTW of Garrus and Taren, but that should be obvious your art is always great. Are there anymore of the scenes coming?

Thank you so much!!

The funny thing was, when I was reading the story I was thinking about how it could be adapted to a comic or at the very least how certain scenes could be drawn! I was pretty happy when Spyke asked me if I'd draw it for her

And I freaking love Taren's teeth and her overall renegade-ness!! It lets me draw all my love for the psychotic bad ass And there will most definitely be more scenes coming! It's a project, but I plan to do the whole story Makes me wonder how I'm going to do the sexytiemz since I've never even drawn anything remotely close, but we'll figure it out when we get there!

I also plan to keep going on my own ME comic, so these pages might come a bit slowly, especially with school starting for me tomorrow.

Cool. I'll make sure that I look up your further work and I'm there with you about the whole school thing. My school life is taking so much time from my writing it's ridiculous.

It's there for you when you're ready! I never take anything off, so a lot of the work is from before I started taking classes. It's not bad considering I was virtually self taught at the time lol

School's pretty important, but it sucks how much time it takes away from your personal time! Which is really important! Some nights I'll just skip my homework and play a game for a couple hours because I'll freak out otherwise!
