Close up of some details from my HUGE Mass Effect piece. Here you can see the parts of Garrus and Wrex that Shepard normally covers up, and the heaps of texture work I did for Samara, Tali, and everybody in this little cluster.
Not one of these characters wasn't a blast to draw, but I'm particularly happy with this cluster as it contains four of my favorite ME castmembers (and 3 of my top 5).
Y'know, I wish the Krogans were as big as that in the games, given their rep of being fearsome, tough warriors, all about fighting and stuff.
They did increase their size just a bit in ME 2 and 3, but that could have been because of their armor. Still, considering what they are capable of, how tough and why they so feared of trying to start another war, they should have been made bigger. That's my opinion, is all.
Yeah, they're pretty big, but I guess I did exaggerate juuust a bit. I always imagine them as these huge hulking things anyway, so I suppose my imagination keeps trumping the game no matter how much I play.
Well, maybe just a tad bit but not by much. Having them at that size really does deliver the feeling of how the Krogans are thought of as fearsome and why many fear of them making another Krogan Rebellion.
Ah. Sounds like you're another of the ending-haters. I've managed to avoid damn near all spoilers, but I can't avoid the mass of people whining about the ending. Knowing nothing at all about it, I'm reminded of when Battlestar Galactica ended and so many people were complaining about the finale - yet I loved it to death and thought it was the perfect finish to the kind of show it had been. I'll reserve judgement until I get there, but I'm not at all inclined to go with the loudest percentage on this one.
I truly apologize, I tried to delete this. I know I didn’t give anything away but still I feel awful.
I spoke like you did, I LOVED the game, I was blown away. I heard about the ending haters and said “That will not be me”.
And then I hit the last 10 minutes. I’d explain but I won’t until you get there. It has nothing to do with happy ending vs sad ending (for the record I did not get kitty cats , hot babes and a billion dollars)
I don’t hate it, okay I DO hate it but it is more like I ran into a brick wall and fell down than a rage. It just – I can’t tell you until both you and Comfort get there. And then I would post it in a note.
I did some nearly impossible things and the journey was fantastic but yeah I’m stunned. Right now I focus on the good things I did with ME3, the fabulous art that Comfort and yourself are putting out about ME and the fact that now I am done I have time to go to the dogpark almost every day.
Death by puppies relieves a lot of stress.
Did I mention that sometimes I hate how good you two draw and paint? You diabolical talented artists!
No apology necessary. You didn't say anything I haven't been unable to avoid for the last week or two, and you said it with more decorum than most. We've got a surprising number of people messaging us or emailing us all dying to know what we thought of the ending. We'll wee when we get there, I guess. I'm trying to stay as open-minded as possible, but I can definitely see how they've stacked the deck against themselves - the game is SO AMAZING so far, the bar is raised almost impossibly high.

I've living inside Mass Effect 3 in what free time I do have and this does not encourage me to come back out! Well done!
