Description
Commission Art for 's original fan fiction character "Andromeda" in the Mass Effect Universe.This particular piece is the artwork for a chapter she's working on. Description from Xenowriter
Andromeda is a C-Sec Officer. She learns of the death of Sidonis and goes out to find the murderer which ends up being Garrus. She confronts him on ilium while he's there on a mission with Shepard. Garrus and Andromeda have a past history where they both care about each other but never acted on the feelings.
Garrus is outraged about her investigation and he feels justified for what he has done. When she confronts him, words lash out and then anger takes over and he grabs her neck against the wall and glares at her. That's the scene I want. Basically waist up with focus on their faces. Garrus' hand will be around her neck and fire will be in his eyes. Andromeda will have a look of shock and fear.

Thanks I hope you did! The story progressed more with my character was I got into the last series. The one I'm currently I'm working on was in hiatus and i'm starting that back up next month!

hm... this is a really really awesome picture. really detailed. just kinda thrown a bit off because of Garrus' eyes. they look green when they are supposed to be like an ice blue. im not sure though, it could just be the lighting in this picture. overall though, its really great, the orange eye-piece is nice too. its usually blue but i like it this color xD brings out his markings better i think. anyways, cant wait to see more from you. im gonna keep an eye out. :3

"Garrus has had enough of your disingenuous assertions.." XD
Awesome in general though, original concept sounds cool too.

Your gallery is so gorgeous! I love Shepard's expression here--very...realistic in its uncertainty. It doesn't look like a hero pose, but rather like a snapshot.
Dare I ask how much a commission like this costs?

Thank you I appreciate it! It's actually Andromeda, she's a C-sec officer. I don't think Garrus would grab Shepard like that. Your perception is accurate on the snapshot, it was meant to be a scene in the chapter. Nice call!
I try to go by a template on commissions but I tend to work with people's budget and try to give them more than what we agreed on. This one was supposed to be a close up scene of just their faces without a background so I added a few details to it. This was one was for $180.

You're welcome! Ah, sorry. I read the artist's comment, but apparently not close enough to realize that Andromeda wasn't the name of a custom Shepard.
I see! Thanks. Maybe in the future I'll get back to you about that.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I don't think he was intended to be evil in this painting. Just an intense moment where he wasn't happy.

Hehe I don't think it was intended to be the renegade visor, it's just the alternate costume piece that came with a DLC pack.
Thank you!

Verrrrrrrrrrry wonderful drawing... But... Garrus has blue eyes. Sorry, I just had to point that out.

Thank you, I appreciate that. Yeah in some scenes they look blue but the next time you're in the game take him to ilium and stand on the balcony facing the sunset, they'll look different. He almost has an orange tint all over him, including his eyes. I painted this on my laptop while my game was running on my PC. I just wanted to be accurate to the way things looked on ilium.

I just wanted to point that out, as a fan of the entire series. A lot of people seem to forget that his eyes are blue, and that's one of my favorite aspects. Thanks for not getting all offended over it... Like so many people do. XD But you pulled off the lighting beautifully. ^^

OH no worries, I don't get offended about stuff like that. Heck I remember posting artwork on conceptart.org and one of the members there called my work poor. LoL really? That's constructive? "Poor"
I appreciate constructive crits because the art process is an ever learning one, such is life no? There are the people that have nothing good to say and only want to push you down rather than lift you up, you don't fall into this category my friend. I simply took your comment as a compliment with an accurate perception for future reference.

Probably the initial jolt of shock/fear and then opens a can of whoop A on Garrus. LOL

Of all Garruses I've seen yours is amongst the best ones Great job! Andromeda's face expression is also quite true-to-life)
And nice texturing, as well)) Mind telling what brushes do you use?

stevegoad In reply to AlyonaMaksimova [2010-07-16 17:16:39 +0000 UTC]
Hey thanks I appreciate that.
Why would I mind? I used the Daarken brush set. You can download them from his website here:
[link]
Awesome custom brushes...so many to choose from really but I usually just end up using just a handful. A lot of my texturing comes from cgtextures.com. I'll overlay with a very lower opacity on the grundge stuff they have. Definitely worth the membership fee for the quality of references you get to download.
