Description Another portrait of my main character from the Mass Effect games, Commander Sam Shepard!

Mainly done as practise, getting used to a new technique.
Not overly happy how it turned out, but couldn't stand looking at it any more.

Done in Photoshop CS2.
(c) Mass Effect, Bioware etc.

Yeah, I like the ME2 armor, but I felt she suited the first's style more, plus it gave me a bit of nostalgia.
Thanks by the way!

Impressive work. I also like the glow effect, not too bright and not too weak. Just right to give off some value of power. ^^

Thank you! Yeah I spent a while on choosing lighting, especially the light from the visor, but thought it turned out quite well.

I like the coloring and the eyes, but the proportions of the head are off. The head is small compared to the body and the facial features, though beautifully rendered, are too large for the size of the head. Good job!

Yeah, need to work on my proportions.
Thanks anyway!

Thank you. It must seem I have an obsession with red hair. I don't honest... xD

Looks great but I think her head is kinda small compared to the rest of her body

You know what...your right! I never actually noticed that before but the proportions do look a bit off... Oh well.

Thank you. I could have put more detail on the suit, but kind of ran out of steam.
