Description
EVEN MORE EDIT 2021 WHAT: Turns out the original video is gone and I don't know why, but someone managed to find it here! disk.yandex.ru/i/JzEzvsIPCnmX8…MORE EDIT: So this was done before the Extended Cut came out, so at least the issue with the flashbacks was resolved. Handsome Garrus is finally in my Shepard's thoughts *sob*
Edit: Holy shitkabobs on a dinner table! I can't believe the support and love I've been recieving for this comic! I wasn't expecting it and it's had me on a big fluffy cloud for a couple of days now! Thank you all so much!
And to top it all, nicholasfunstuff went ahead and made a video of it with the music and sound effects!! Go watch it here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tJ1LY…
HEY HEY! LISTEN TO THIS WHILE READING! Recommend having tissues around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5JvbD…

I have spent too much time on this...
This was a result of a need to get the Mass Effect ending from my system. Funny thing is it took so long to make, I was pretty much over it half-way through XD Even funnier is I just cried a little right now
One of the jillion things that bothered me about this ending was that the characters most dear to me didn't even seem to be on Lara Shepard's mind. As explosions were going off, images of Joker, Anderson and... Liara? seem to flash before her eyes. I was kind of outraged. I absolutely love Joker and Anderson, but... Liara? She's great and all, but... No chance of Garrus's face to pop in her mind instead? They ARE in a relationship after all! HE VENTURED INTO THE IDEA OF HAVING KIDS, FOR F**K'S SAKE!
It's funny that everything else about that ending would pretty much make sense if we have in mind the popular Indoctrination Theory (which I'm all on board with), but this... this, haha, really bothered me
Somehow it's like Liara's friendship is forced down my throat a lot of times. No ofense to Liara fans, she's actually a great character, just not one I'm specially fond of. And I really just wanted to see Tali, and Garrus... and Mordin... and Legion and Wrex... one last time... *tear flood* So all this just added to the feeling that the ending was rushed and put together as quickly as possible.Hence this.
A huge thank you to for her enthusiasm and beta reading!

For Tali's pattern I used something I found on the Bioware forums. If anyone knows who made it, I'll add the link.

Yess, but some people will see it like that =_= Screw them, it is beautiful.
WE DEMAND A CHANCE TO BROFIST GARRUS IN THE END!
Lolol. And that's just Wrex. Don't even want to imagine what Grunt will do.

We really do, seems only fair.
Grunt probably would just start shooting people.

Yes, shooting people at other people. XD

These pages are beautiful, stunning, and very touching.

I know someone who should create her very own Graphic novel. Talent and skill would be NO problem! Time though?
.
Anyway, I don't know alot about Mass Effect, though a friend of mine who lurks on DA, is trying to Educate me on some sort of assassin fellow, green guy. Trent Cheeto? Something like that.
.
.

.
I was joking about the Cheeto Guy-please don't kill me!

GUH!! Well I'd thought about it, sure... I just... XD I guess I chicken out. It's a lot of work. And I wasn't sure what to make it about that wouldn't be too long.
HAHAHAH TRENT CHEETO!!! I think I know who you're talking about, but his name is Thane Krios XD And he looks a lot like Abe. He's this ninja... monk... assasin kind of fella. In fact he was the reason I discovered Mass Effect, because he caught my attention. But then I met Garrus... oh boy...
Thane kinda just... faded into the background for me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It would be alot of work. But you could do it.
.
Yes, Thane Krios does look very much like dear Abe doesn't he?
I read up on Thane Krios. He is a great charecter.
Garrus eh? Does he have shiny black orbs?
Oh noes...not another interesting charecter...my pictures are filling up with screenshots... Uhm. I didn't say that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I really COULD. O__O Maybe I SHOULD.
And yes, I used to have a crush on Thane XD But like I said, he... was pretty much eclipsed by Garrus. You don't know garrus you say??? *runs to youtube* Feast your eyes!!! [link] This one is just proof of the witty clown he is. MM, that bamf. [link] Careful of spoilers
There. I have introduced you to Garrus. Now you should be lost.

How many pages does a regular comic have? You just did a magnificent multi-page Mass Effect fanmasterpiece, anything else would be a piece of cake for you!
No youtube for me. My machine is to old and slow. Still, I did look Garrus up, I mean "LOOKED AT" quite a few screenshots. Pretty darn cool guy!
.
Mass Effect fandom is sort of like a virus, it's fandom is spreading.

Pfff a regular graphic novel could have 50-100 pages. That's a LOOOOT of work. But who knows.
FFF you have not seen all of Garrus until you have heard his voice. Dat voice... I'm serious, he's gorgeous to look at in stills, but... the MOVING TALKING garrus... fff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, I have a few trades. They are big things.

Damcurse my old machine! Keeps me from the good stuff.

Oh yes you must hear the Garrus... You must...

I will sometime

FFFFFFFFFFF GARRUS DRAWN BY YOU?!?!?
That almost sounds too good to be true XD
Now you HAVE to draw him hahaha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe...if I can find a decent reference picture of him. Decent as in big
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh my, there are plenty of good pictures of him around, I'm sure! Just on DA there are lots of references

This is amazing!!! And I completely agree with you about the ending, I romanced Garrus and was really sad that I saw Liara instead of him.

Thanks a lot! And yes, that sucked.

Couldn't do the destroy option, since it meant killing off the geth, right after I'd brought peace between them and the quarians.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it was a hallucination, and chosing destroy was just a metaphor for "hah! you did not fool me!"
So yah..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That'd be nice. Means I could also get to keep my Shepard alive, Whee!

Very nice work !!!
beautiful works of color (and skill)
Which gives an amazing atmosphere of sadness, that we fight for others.
That's what I felt when i took this choice.
sincerely thank you for putting it into an image T^T

*cogiendo un klinex* Si al final lo vas a conseguir...
Bravo y mil veces bravo... ¿no se puede poner más de un favorito?
El detalle de Garrus presionando la herida del costado de Shepard da un toque a la página que hace que se salga.
Quiero dar una super-colleja a Bioware. No quiero desmerecer tu trabajo ni de lejos, pero sigo quedándome pasmada de que fans consigan finales (no uno, ni dos, sino más de 16) mucho mejores y creibles que gente que COBRA por ello. No lo entiendo, pero me alegro que exista el fanart.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Siii, lo conseguí!!
Mmf si... Garry-poo, te queremos.
Y te agradezco muchisimo que te hayas tomado el tiempo de comentarmelo to! Bendito sea el buen fanart. Tú continua con tu super comic también, que es estupendo
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pues casi... porque me tenía que ir currar y la escena hubiera sido para filmarla...
Nada que agradecer, ha sido un mega placer leer y comentar! Me quedo por aquí cotilleando la galería un ratejo. Pues sí, bendito sea!! Es lo que nos da consuelo en estos momentos tan odiosos! Gracias mil!! Haré lo que pueda!

I had to get online for you.
This was... amazing. Would you be able to do a male one. Regardless. I'm teary.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww for me?
Thank you so much^^ I don't think I'll be remaking this into male or anything else

Hurr I actually agree with you on all points there, and I definitely like what you're going with here.
Lol but still, I think it's near-universal that this ending was, still, crap.
And I couldn't even romance Wrex, or Garrus as a man.
What a shame.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ffff thanks a lot man
And aww... Well, you can always take my kind of Femshep, who's more like universal shepard. Kind of a tomboy XD Can never have girly shepard...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rofl yea they probably have little to no idea about the underlying themes/ideas behind Mass Effect.
In fact this vid here is a GREAT example of the more sophisticated problems that the ending suffers from; some pretty interesting stuff, if you haven't seen it: [link]
And who knows, maybe some of them are in denial, or are just doing it so they can troll people when in reality they actually hate it. 
Hurr, I guess I can agree with that bit. Either way, My femshep will have her Garrus. AS will yours.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Prolly never read the Codex. Indoctrination is explained there and it's practically describing what Shep goes through during the entire game!!! I MEAN WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED.
Yeees I've seen that video and pretty much every other on the subject XD
Man, that DLC has me all excited and terrified at the same time. There's a small chance Bioware may have discarded indoctrination, although that would be a very very stupid thing to do.
AWWWYEAAAH that's what I like to hear! Trust me you will MELT.
