So, I hadn't originally planned to do this, but... A colorized version of
I'm testing out a new coloring technique. It was quite quick, at least.

Does anyone notice that the way the Council gives you the Virmire mission makes it sound like it's optional? Turns out it's not. But I can dream, can't I?

In case anyone is wondering, no, this isn't part of the Virmire comic series I've been talking about making. That's still coming, but probably not anytime soon.

I applied what I learned from my last attempt at comics. I made the background and foreground separately, simplified the shading, and used some effects to make the holograms look a bit more... hologramy. It only took me about... three days to finish. That's pretty much a record for me. I think in the future I'll use thinner lines. 0.3 might be a bit too thick.

Sketched on paper, inked in Manga Studio, finished in Photoshop. I used screenshots and XNA for references.

I also used [link] by Forever-in-a-day as a pose reference (although I obviously changed it a bit) for the last panel. Actually, you could say that Forever-in-a-day is sort-of the inspiration for this, since their page is pretty much all about spreading love for Kaidan and Ashley. You should totally go check it out. [link]

Special thanks to The-JoeBlack for making the Normandy interior available for XNA Lara. [link] It really helped a lot to be able to explore the ship and look at things from different angles, without things like characters getting in the way.

Edit: Woops! There was a color problem with the lettering. I fixed it.
