Description
Across a galaxy, two ships, dozens of star systems and hundreds of worlds, Shepard could think of only one place she wanted to be.
Mass Effect-wise, I will probably never get over the adorability (that's a word? Thank spellcheck!
Art-wise, LOL I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WORKED
I study like the guy calibrates!
Titles have always been a pain, because this thing's WIP name was "3 backgrounds" so I think it's an improvement xD

This is so very cute! I love it!!! Here Garrus seems more cuddly like a big soft squishy person with sharp edges. Great work at showing the love and tenderness between these two.

Thank you! haha, yes, it's kinda hard to capture the 'soft side' of these turians, with all their plates and crests, but aw thank you!

So sweet!
And those backgrounds really add to the piece as well, very interesting.

and also .
It took me a few minutes of staring to realize that you had three really nice background pieces, and the way you put them together, in panels rather than one singular piece, might be my favorite aspect of this. Never considered doing backgrounds that way, but I will now because it's a great way to do them because I HATE doing backgrounds when they aren't 100% space art. Well done, nice and sweet and peaceful.

SO MUCH FOR THE ROMANCE
Jks Shep/Garrus makes me cross-eyed too
Thank you! I spent AGES working out what to put in the background, since I wanted to leave it blank, but it looked like Garrus was going to fall on his back anytime and those legs just wouldn't fit in the frame, so I separated parts of the background to keep him balanced
Space art? LOL that's the first time I tried anything that could pass for a background, learnt so much about brushes and blending in that amount of time
Can't wait to draw them again!
And thanks again!

N'awwww. I like all the lines on Garrus' face. And Shepard's shiny clothing ^^ I think the thing about the background is that the styles vary a bit wildly, and none of them are that similar to the foreground ^^ I like the leaves though, so pretty
You know, now I know how you feel when you see all that PoT fanart in my gallery

ravenwing136 In reply to falarae [2011-11-01 03:26:28 +0000 UTC]
The lines...? Um, you mean the blue or something? (The panic when someone points out something you don't remember drawing
) And OMG Shepard, haha, those are PINK highlights
Well, I DID say I was bad at backgrounds, and I was literally aiming for "recognisable", but I guess uniformity is something to work on in the future
thanks! Hehe, leaves = wet brush and 'overlay'
Thanks for the comment!!!
Wait... you're not going to point out the giant hypocritical glaring error in this? really?
Yep, a taste of your own medicine, if you will Look, I'm even posting before exams!!! 8DDD

I just meant the lines making up all the bits of his face Wet brush? What's that? (Yeah, I'm picking up tips for the Moribito collab, because I've hardly ever painted greenery before
)
I figured everyone had pointed it out already
Yeah, I was going to tell you to go study, but then I realised how hypocritical that would be

Oh of course, for a moment I thought I'd left something sinister in some hidden layer that reappeared when I flattened it
Wet brushes? Well, if you right click with the brush tool, go to 'load brushes', you'll find one called 'Wet media brushes', and that's where you can mess around with more 'leafy' textures
it's really quite handy! (OMG are we STILL doing that collab?
I don't mind if you have better things to do, really, it's fine
)
...um, thanks Yeah I totally deserved that one. I STILL can't believe I DIDN'T NOTICE AT ALL. I should have shot myself for that oversight
Immensely. Glad you realised. However, I think I just overshot you by buying a new game 2 days before the exams. haha.

Ooooh!
I see you made use of the 'cool' color scheme, and that is the first Shepard paired with Garrus that I've seen with purple hair. Very pleasing to the eyes. Nicely done.

ravenwing136 In reply to NamikazeMika [2011-10-30 23:49:35 +0000 UTC]
LOL Garrus doesn't wear ANYTHING outside the 'cool' spectrum, so I had to work within the limits thanks! Haha, glad the purple hair worked, thanks again!
