Description After saving the galaxy again, Garrus and Shepard enjoy some well-deserved shore leave on the planet of Illium.

You know why I prefer Garrus to Kaidan? Every time you talked to Kaidan, he'd be all "Shore leave, shore leave! Oh, and emo backstory!", whereas Garrus would say, "Need me for something? A suicide mission? Right behind you, Shepard." Guess who's got their mind on the job, eh?

Okay, I really need to find out what is wrong with my scanner, it seems to enjoy taking every grain in the paper and blowing it up out of proportion. If the pencil work seems fluffier than usual, it's because I had to edit it in Photoshop to remove the 'noise' But I finally finished it anyway I got really bored of the picture halfway through (right after I did all the blankets, OMG the cloth!) so the background is a little slapdash, and it's the end of term so I have 4 assessments in the next 2 weeks, but once again it's GARRUS so IDGAF

It's awsome I love the background and their faces,
the details and the fact that grey is the perfect color for this scene! Great work!

Thanks! I'm glad you like the monochrome; I considered doing it in colour but thought it would be too time-consuming...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SrSilversky In reply to ravenwing136 [2011-09-12 13:55:30 +0000 UTC]

Oh, in color it would be also really nice!
But I love it the way it is right now, maybe because this monochrome gives me a feeling of... I don't know, maybe nostalgia(?! ).
Just like they've been and belong together for a very long time. And I really like that

haha, well, I'll practice digital painting with ANOTHER drawing of Shep/Garrus then Wow, monochrome isn't so bad after all then? yays! I like your interpretation very much too

SrSilversky In reply to ravenwing136 [2011-09-15 10:53:28 +0000 UTC]

Alright, I'll check it out then!!!! I'm already looking forward to see it
Monochrome, bad? No way
As I told you before, I love it the way it is, and it gives the right feeling to the picture. And drawing with pencils and creating somthing like this on a sheet of paper, where you can't erase everything, just shows that you are a fabulous artist!!!

haha thanks for the encouragement! I'll definitely try to finish it soon! X3
Oh thank you!!! You're too kind, I can only hope that people enjoy my art as much as I like making them; thanks for the compliment!!!

Yay, cloth And the background is AWESOME. I love the glass effect, and also those are awesome-shaped buildings And shiny hair, pretty! Err, nitpicking now, but there's something a tiny bit weird about Shepard's face? I can't decide if it's the angle or what, but it looks a little flat. Guh the more I stare at it, trying to work out what it is, the more it actually looks fine, so it's probably all in my imagination anyway

About the scanner, it might be the 'sharpness' settings? Some scanners seem to take it upon themselves to do a sharpen filter or something.

ravenwing136 In reply to falarae [2011-09-12 07:10:23 +0000 UTC]

I cannot understand how you can like doing all that cloth... It's so time consuming! But thank you! Haha, to tell the truth, I actually got so lost and tired while doing the background (12am Saturday night) that I clean forgot what I was going to do glad to see it worked though! (Shiny hair FTW! ) Hm, her face? Maybe I smudged it weirdly or something, well, thanks for pointing it out, I'll keep an eye out next time Although I expected more mistakes doing the other guy's face

I checked, I never fool around with those settings, they are still on zero, but what I don't get is how it can scan the mini-portraits properly but then suddenly get shot to pieces when I add a background I'll check it again next time, but WHUUUT?

Thanks for dropping a comment! I know you're busy
But I'm making you play ME2 anyway

Man, how good is the artwork of Appleseed? Shirow Masamune in general Yeah, I went and bought all the books and I still can't get enough love for Deunan and Bri. And they are exact parallels for Shepard and Garrus, oh man

LOL!
Kaiden is pretty cute (playing ME1 AFTER ME2) but yeah sometimes, his dialogue options are annoying.
The only one with worse dialogue is Jacob.
