Description
When I was chatting to the other day, I remarked that I've never drawn Kaidan Alenko from Mass Effect.... Well, I promised her that I'd do it, and her birthday seemed as good as an excuse as any other!
Many happy returns to you on your birthday, Sil.

Ugh, man, you always squeeze so much character into faces. I think my favourite feature here is the mouth, that smirk is to die for. Phenomenal work.

Thank you so much! I think it helps that I used a photo of the real life inspiration behind the in-game model for reference. As good as modern graphics are, you just can't beat the real flesh-and-blood thing.

Though, 'The Sentinel' reminds me of the Judas Priest song and every time I see that title it plays in my head, utterly useless bit of info, but there it is c:

Oh, man, I'm like that too. Probably a gross over exaggeration, but I have a song title or a movie quote for every occassion!

ER MAH GURSH. HURNDSURM KURDURN ALERNKUR.
But seriously, he looks awesome, Lu! His skin is just marvellous. I want to touch it. *ahem* Not to sound creepy or anything. >_>

YUP. I mentally flailed all over the place. Physically would have resulted in me hitting my dad over the head.
Your shading, the smirk on his face, the color scheme. One day I am going to kidnap you and try to steal (or at least borrow) your skills, honestly. XD
It's a great gift to give, Luby. Well done! 8D

Aww! You leave the nicest comments, Shae! I'm very glad you like it.
And you don't need my skills; you've got plenty of your own from what I've seen in my inbox recently (I keep meaning to comment, but dissertation and all that bleugh).

I understand that you are very busy. 
Thanks for the compliment, it means a lot coming from you. 8D

BABE.
Yeah, never really liked Kaiden very much, but I approve of your depiction.
Happy Birthday, Miss Friend.

I romanced him for the achievement in ME1... And then sort of stuck with him through the other two games. I've sort of developed an attachment to him and his lustrous eyebrows.
But! I digress! I am very glad that you like the drawing; your comments always make me smile.
(Also, on a scale of halfling to Bombur-sized, how excited are you for the Hobbit?! D

But his eyes point in different directions... and he's whiny, and his facial textures are weird. I only ship him with BroShep, probably for the same ridonkulous reason I only ship Liara with FemShep.
And Garrus is just no please stop romancing him. He is my spacebro; it feels weird.
On a scale of Halfling to Bombur, I am type 3 diabetes excited. Oh, but Thranduil's eyebrows... have you seen that shiz? Hilarious. My new headcanon is that he and Elrond are engaged in a legendary, time-honoured eyebrow-scaping rivalry.

It's worth it for the precious, precious achievements...
I'm with you 100% on Garrus; mostly for the bromance, but partly because I don't understand how anyone could find a giant-space Archaeopteryx-type-thing sexually appealing. It's the same with the hippy-lizard-frog. Maybe I'm just shallow.
As to Hobbiting, I was a bit unsure about Thranduil's spangly bako-foil dress, but the eyebrows more than made up for it. (HEAD CANON ACCEPTED, btw) Also! The Dwarves! I'm slightly in love with Ori and his snood... And totally in lust with Thorin.

I am an achievement whore, also...
So unimpressed that I finally played through ME1 on Hardcore, and it didn't give me my achievement. NOT HAPPY XBOX.
Agreed. Let us always be picky fanchildren together. It seems like every female gamer picks Garrus, and his romance isn't even... well, it's pretty boring, to be honest. And I thought it was really great that Thane died, in that there wasn't a miracle fix, and it was what was expected to happen. Liara's romance is definitely the best, and Bioware obviously put a lot of effort into her writing. Excuse me whilst I weep profusely over my stack of assignments.
Have you played Leviathan?
YES! Jeez, that irked me! I thought it was a cosplay, or something. Wasn't sure how they were going to do the crown, but I think they've done well to make it look Elven and as described.
Thorin is too young! *flips desk* The dwarves have always been Gimli/Gloinesque in my mind - many of them just look like beardy humans.

I need to add you on Skype or something so we can discuss these important issues at length!
I did play Leviathan. It's definately the weakest of the Mass Effect DLCs, although I did like going underwater; I had flashbacks to KotOR.

Absolutely. My PC won't run Skype, though, because it is old and cranky, so any other messenger would be preferable. However, I'll add you on my laptop.
Oh, you don't say? How awful. I haven't played it. That is how busy I am.
Ahh, KotOR... you and your sneaky jump-scare fish.

Schweet; my Skype name is laura.potter75. I don't use any other messenger at the mo, but I'm always willing to have a looksee if you have a preference.

Neato. I would generally chitchat with people on Facebook or MSN, but I have different sort of friends on different messengers... we'll leave it at that.
Skype is for fangirling and backseat gaming.
Mine is becltaylor, I believe.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE. I'M UNWORTHY
I WISH I COULD SAY SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE ABOUT THE PIC ITSELF, BUT FORGIVE ME, I CANNOT.
NOW LET ME SWOON AT HOW GORGEOUS IT IS
