Description
This is my entry for the Marla Bea Charity Benefit Auction, with proceeds going to support Breast Cancer treatment and awareness and such. It's a cause both Comfort and I are way in support of.The requirements for the MBB Auction were to pick any strong female character and to use pink somehow. So I, being the massive Mass Effect dork I am, used this opportunity to finally do some ME fanart. It was between Ashley and Tali, and Tali just barely won out due to her higher adorable quotient.
To say I'm a ME fan is kind of like saying the ocean is a big body of water. Technically true, but it doesn't begin to get the whole picture across. And Tali is one of my favorite characters (as she is for many, many others). Balanced her cuteness with a big honkin' Claymore shotgun. Someday I hope to do a full-on Mass Effect pin-up with all the characters being all bad-assey and such, but this'll do for now.
Anyway, this piece goes up for auction soon. I'll announce in my journal when it begins, so keep an eye open!

Now that I was reminded about this from looking at your sketchbook, I needed to go back and fav it. Now that I've actually played ME2, I absolutely love Tali. She's awesome in every way possible.

Tali is one of the best. Unfortunately, I never found much use for her in my squad, but I love her as a character.

Actually, she absolutely kicks ass against Geth and mechs. Her hacking gets them fighting each other. Her drone can pretty handy for distracting enemies and making them easy targets, even the big ones. I use her all the time.

She's... okay. Hacking is pretty alright, though you have to strip all their defenses first (and at that point you may as well just blow the thing up and be done with it), but I never found the drone to be that helpful, nor any of her other abilities. And forcing her to use the shotgun or pistol when she's one of the most vulnerable characters means she'll die ALL THE TIME.
I just ran with Garrus to deal with synthetics and either Samara for crowd control or Grunt for raw power.

Haven't found much use for Samara and Garrus is a death-magnet for me. Not as bad as Sten in Dragon Age: Origins (I swear that the act of drawing his sword caused instant death), but he's definitely the most likely to die for me.

That's just crazy. True enough, everybody has their own Mass Effect experience. It's part of what's made it so impactful for people.

Insert generic and unfunny 'DAT MASS' joke here.

I generally like you stuff overall, you tend to draw subjects I like (superheroes, scifi and such). But if your a "massive Mass Effect dork", why don't I see more Mass Effect drawings in you gallery? I always want to see more good Mass Effect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why not more? Because time isn't infinite. These days if it isn't a commission or part of my comic, I don't have time to draw it. At best I may sometimes get things like this where I can do what I like as a commission or charity piece, but that's rare.
HOWEVER! I do take a little time out every year to do 1-2 new pinups just for me. You are going to want to watch this space to see what I've got coming out in the next couple weeks. It's very big and it's very Mass Effect.

Well color me intrigued. I am concerned for you though. If your so busy what will you do on March sixth?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm worried myself, actually. 
So that pretty much takes care of my year.

Any time set a side for the multi-player part of ME3? Of is that just asking way to much?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Weeee'll see. It'll have to be really awesome to get me to spend money on an X-Box gold subscription. I've never been a multiplayer guy (online, anyway, and I'm cheesed off that they don't support local multiplayer) but if it's cool enough and enough of my friends are into it I just may try and squeeze some in.

What is this "X-Box" that you speak of? Sorry I'm a PC gamer. I have been tempted to purchase a Playstation 3 for the Uncharted series, but so far I've been way to busy with games I've bought on Steam to worry about that.
Oh and I don't need no "gold" subscription to play multi-player.

True, but I don't need no crazy-expensive gaming rig to play pretty much whatever I want. We all make our sacrifices here and there.

I'm assuming that you have a computer and you use it to do some of your art. If you don't mind me asking what are the specifications of that PC? Or do you have a Mac?

I've just got a little $500 Gateway. [link] It does well enough with Photoshop and Illustrator, which is pretty much all I use it for.

Totally awesome. I particularly like the highlights and the vivid patterns :3

Gorgeous! Love all the highlights on her suit, and especially the design on the cloth bits.

Thanks! The textures were a trick, but I like how they came out.

I said it before Adam and I'll say it again. This picture is amazing every time I see it.

Glad you like it. I said it before and I'll say it again - thank you.

I love all the detail you added to her suit and the way you drew her visor and omni-tool. Whoever got this was a very lucky person!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She's all about the details. I actually kind of used this as a test to see how much detail I could get in a marker drawing with Copics. It was only like the third copic sketch I'd ever done. I'm kind of surprised it turned out so well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You did a really amazing job on it for your third sketch. Every time I've looked at it I found a new detail to look at.
I gotta say I really love your rendition of an omni tool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. The Omni-Tool was the one part I wasn't sure would work - that kind of transparency is easy with digital color, but I was praying it would work out as well in marker. And it did! Yay!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wow if only she could wear that color on the game. Awesome job with this pick. Is it prisma marker?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Copic marker, actually. And yeah, I was disappointed you couldn't customize your party's looks a little more. Even if it was just minor stuff like picking colors, it would have been nice.
