Description Samara from Mass Effect. This lady is simply divine. I just adore the shape of her face.

The Mass Effect series has rekindled my love of science fiction. Since, you know, George Lucas just about killed it with those Star Wars prequels... But I digress.
I don't think I've ever been this inspired by a game--ever. I mean, there's been some really good games out there that I've really enjoyed, but Mass Effect... I don't know why or how exactly, but it has rocked me to my core. I love it.

Anyway, I adore Samara. She's one awesome lady.

This is very beautiful. I really like the way you've shown the shape of her head-tentacles.

Samara does smile, once or twice, in the game, during conversations with her. A person like Samara smiling is something to take notice of.

Yes, I wanted Samara to be smiling in my picture, because like you said: when she smiles, it's special.

Gorgeous!!!! I love Mass Effect! You should draw Samara vs her Daughter. Ps: Did you know if you are high enough on either renegade or the other one (the nice one) you they ask you who you want to live and they will join you on your team?

Do you mean on the final mission? When you're on the collector's ship?

reenie89 In reply to DrMistyTang [2010-12-30 19:19:44 +0000 UTC]

No, when you go after Morinth on Omega. You have to be 100% paragon or renegade and they're all like "choose me instead!" and you get to pick which one you would prefer on your team.

reenie89 In reply to DrMistyTang [2010-12-30 19:23:19 +0000 UTC]

Haha, Yeah, I just found out. I do lots of side quests before major quests and I was 100% paragon, and they were like "pick me instead!" but Samara kicks ass and Morinth is a jerky face so I picked Samara.

Great work! She looks much kinder than in the game. I love how she looks more whitish-blue instead of completely blue here.

Thanks!
Samara could be quite kind... though still a bit stoic. So I decided to giver just a little smile.

NanQuan [2010-12-30 03:20:27 +0000 UTC]

I love Samara too. Every time I talk to her it's kinda like talking to her for the first time. I always have the same awe struck moment of thinking "Wow! I really like this character!" Also, I agree that Mass Effect is inspiring. You put it well by saying that there are a lot of good games, but something about Mass Effect really sparks the imagination.

DrMistyTang In reply to NanQuan [2010-12-30 03:45:02 +0000 UTC]

Heheh, Like I said, she is divine.
Yes, Mass Effect just makes my brain bubble with ideas. A game has never done that to me before, so it's a pretty big deal.

(voice) Actors, script, soundtrack. It has the three necessities for greatness. Star Wars prequels only had one of those.

Like the enthusiastic GrimReapette below, I suggest you draw Garrus next. DC Batman style, for obvious reasons.

Nyahaha, I'll just have to draw him DC style, then! ^,^ It'd be fun to play round with heavy shadows like that.

Oh I love Samara from ME2 as well. She was just so kick ass. Like, walk into the room, kick some major ass, and don't even take names because they don't matter. I also loved her moral map. She was so interesting to talk to.

This is such a pretty homage to her too. I love the gentle and soft colors, and her design works so well with your style. Great job~

DRAW GARRUS NEXT. BECAUSE I LOVE HIM. I love him forever and ever and ever and ever...

DrMistyTang In reply to GrimReapette [2010-12-30 03:37:24 +0000 UTC]

Samara ROCKS. So hard. I used Samara at the part where you're walking through the collector's ship, with all the wasps buzzing around so you had to use someone to keep 'em off you. So awesome to just watch her use her powers like that.
She was especially interesting because she's so old. But, like, in a hot way? I that's what made talking to her so cool.

GARRUS IS MY HEART. Be assured that I will draw him.

GrimReapette In reply to DrMistyTang [2010-12-30 23:38:56 +0000 UTC]

I used her there too! I didn't think Jack would have the power to last, and I hate Miranda so I never used her besides for her loyalty mission.

DrMistyTang In reply to GrimReapette [2010-12-31 00:15:09 +0000 UTC]

Miranda = bitch. Bleh. She actually died when I played (didn't have enough paragon when she and Jack had their fight)... oh well! I'll save her next time, I guess.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

GrimReapette In reply to DrMistyTang [2010-12-31 01:18:02 +0000 UTC]

Miranda didn't die in my game somehow, but whatever. I liked Jacob, and he was pretty cool, but Miranda could go die in an airlock. And when she hit on my dude play-through I nearly vomited. Then my dude went and made Tali his girlfriend LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE IN THE LAST GAME.

DrMistyTang In reply to GrimReapette [2010-12-31 02:38:23 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Jacob was alright. Now, if he and Miranda got together... well, then! That just might have saved Miranda's character for me.

I know, right?? Why wasn't that an option in the first game? Silly game designers. But at least they made it an option this time! ^,^
But I decided to be a girl for the second one, so that I could make Garrus my gal's boyfriend~!

GrimReapette In reply to DrMistyTang [2010-12-31 15:39:01 +0000 UTC]

Nah, that would have made me hate both Jacob and Miranda. I just overall hate Miranda and her "I saved your life so you owe me everything" attitude.

I did that with my girl Sheperd too. xD

DrMistyTang In reply to GrimReapette [2010-12-31 18:25:56 +0000 UTC]

Aah, well I can totally understand that! But, you know me! I'm optimistic and I'd hope that some of Jacob's coolness would rub off onto Miranda--make her more tolerable.
