Description "The gentle knock of their helmets is all they get sometimes. A whispered “stay safe” or “thank god.” rasped from the suit comms. “I love you.” said so softly it might be an illusion to anyone else listening in. Layers of ceramic and polymer and carbon acting like skin (and Kaidan swears he can feel Shepard through all of it) as he pulls the black helmet towards his. And they stay like that for just a moment - unmoving, breathing together.

Stay safe. Thank god. I love you."

(EDIT UPDATE 6/22 - Attempted to fix the scale issues using skew in photoshop. Not sure if you all will notice, but I'm happier with it like this, its a tiny improvement. yay.)

Very nice! I love the colors and the way you captured the texture of their suits. Very cool!

I struggled with the colors so bad so that's so awesome to hear, and the texture, I'm really glad you like it! I was worried I went a little overboard, I love using texture layers in photoshop, but I can get carried away.. Really glad you liked it.

not to mention that I like - inbetween all the dark, the blue and some red, there's a small part of Kaidan's face against all the armor <3

Gorgeous... Simply gorgeous...

It's amazing just how much emotion you've managed to convey despite the fact that you don't even see their faces (well, except for Kaidan's closed eyes...). I love this...

Really beautiful description and the drawing is amazing. I like how they're making the most of such an unromantic situation, what with them both armoured to kill.

Congratulations on completion.
When feelings and breath of two people that draws the body each other are imagined, it is very wonderful.
This work is loved.

Except for the bromance, amazing job! I love the brotherhood (or at-least I thought it was just brotherhood) between these two soldiers. Great job!

silvermittt In reply to Opravdu [2012-06-21 23:14:33 +0000 UTC]

hehe Thanks! I'm kind of psyched someone who didn't pursue this option (or care much for it) at least thinks the picture is cool. I liked Kaidan a lot playing the game, couldn't help it.
