Description (Garrus Vakarian and my custom build female Shepard from the game Mass Effect 2, for those of you coming in who don't know the source.)

Colonist, sole survivor, vanguard, full paragon... (All on PC - I haven't dusted off the 360 in months.) After not having played the first game when it came out, when ME2 came out, I played both back to back for about 70 hours of great times. I think my proudest moment was bum rushing Harbinger. It was a thing of beauty.

As much as I love femShep/Garrus, I have every intention of producing some Shepard/Tali in the future. And Mordin, Wrex, Legion, Liara... Also, Joker/Kelly. Really, there's very little I'm not inspired by with this series.

And yes, I have seen the single piece of concept art of a nude turian. Until we see one in the game, I'm going with it being just that - a concept. Why the smooth collar ring when everything else we see is scale or segment-like? I'll have to upload my own idea at some point.

My other Mass Effect art - Tali, Mordin, etc!

your work is phenomenal!

Very romantic and tender.

Lives up to the romance scene. Scratch that...... How the romance should have played out.

I was a little disappointed that the scene cut off so quickly. But, I guess that they wanted to leave it up to the imagination. I mean....do we really need to see "it" to know that "that" is what happened?

I really cannot express how much I absolutely ADORE this brilliant piece of work. it's just....gah....so beautiful really. The details blow my flippin mind and just to see how much work went into this (I mean you added the collectable ships!!! ) is apparent and it just adds so much like, OOMPH to it. And to simply see, a very loving, sweet picture of Garrus and femShep just makes my day. Everybody has got thier cute comics(dont get me wrong, im friggin rabid about seeing eveyone's ME comics) but to see such a real depiction of them just getting that moment together really just makes like my heart sing. :3 I grinned like a fool when they bumped heads together in the game. It's just so *them*. I'm so glad you carried that through in this piece.

I'm sorry I rambled, but I've been meaning to tell you this for like ever. My boyfriend found this and showed me and I just stared at it for hours. Taking in every detail. So thank you, for making such an amazing fan art, and for giving me something to oggle at for hours <3 If I could fav this a million times, it still wouldn't be enough.

Not sure if you still read comments for this but I remember favoriting this a long time ago and had no knowledge about ME what-so-ever. However even when I didn't, I still found this incredibly beautiful. During that time as well alien relationships were still awkward to me but this is probably the only picture that actually transcended it for me. It really does feel like they absolutely need each other and I'm a huge skeptic about romance fanart. I like romance fanart but if I had to chose one over the others it would be this. Now that I've actually played ME the appreciation factor is even more. You've captured them so well, a very just picture for a beautifully strong, trusting and transcendent couple.

I just love it how so many women are all into a guy whose an alien, has skin that causes chafing from contact, and fluids that can cause death; they're thinking "this isn't a sufficient barrier to a relationship, Garrus get your hot metallic ass over here!"

Then again if I was woman, I'd probably be all over Garrus instead of crap like the Jonas brothers and Justin Beiber.

AssassinsFear In reply to MajorDbag [2011-03-09 20:32:11 +0000 UTC]

Turian skin doesn't chafe on contact it's the hard plates rubbing against skin that chafes. Also you could only react to his fluids if you ingested them. So the only barriers to a relationship are Turian anatomy which is very sharp in some places and the fact that no it is impossible to have Turian children with a human. Other than you are right if I was a woman I would be all over Garrus. But Tali also has the same problem with human males and i'm all over her.

This has got to be the best FemShepxGarrus pics Ive ever seen. [trust me, ive seen ALOT.] This pretty much embodies the connection these two share. Its intimate and they have a history together that grows stronger. Garrus NEEDS shep in his life. We all saw how lost in his life he got w/o her. He's the only one I consider a romance with. [was single in ME1- plus virmired kaiden XDDD] And I LOVE the way you made Garrus look. I LOVE IT! It seems so much more realistic than the bioware concept art. XD

And who doesnt love his awkwardness. ;D
Garrus headbumps FTW! XDDDD

ME2 romance option with Garrus was the one and only reason I started a femShep at all. It's rather distressing to me he's not an option in ME1 - though I can see that complicating things for the reunion on Omega later... *shrug*
Either way, this is touching.

Great pic, I lurves it! I was sooooo tempted to get it on with Garrus, he was so sweet in Mass Effect 2, and so sad, I wanted to coddle him! BUT, I was bound and determined to stay true to my lurver Liara, for which I was rewarded for in the Shadow Broker download!

But still, great pic!

I didn't romance anyone in ME1, so I didn't feel bound to anyone. I couldn't help but romance Garrus in 2, though. ^^

I know! Garrus was so sad and sweet in ME2, you know, when he wasn't killing people and what not. XD I sooooo wanted to coddle him for a bit, heck, if I'm honest, I wanted to romance half the cast of ME2!

Darn you Bioware! Only they can make me care about characters as much as they do.
