Description Meet Zae Shepard. 
The Niece of David Anderson, the youngest ever to be recruited in to the N7 program, Commander and woman extraordinaire. 

Zae was brought on by the Mass Effect Female Shepard FB page
They were looking for artists who features a non-deafult FemShep and Shepards of colour. Being a woman of colour myself I was happy to see that someone else had also seen the lack of Shepards with different ethnic heritages. I've been writing about Zae for a bit, but this gave me the opportunity to make a render with her as well. I have no idea why I haven't done her before! Perhaps because the fanfiction lacks love and all that. But here we are, hope you'll give my lovely Zae some love. 

If you want to read about Zae (though I need to change her background a bit because I altered it for this render): Rebirth


Mods extracted by: SonYume , Adngel
Textures: Sirius-sdz  
Icons: DoggyCorner

Thanks to: JessGaskell For helping me develop Zae's background and brainstorming ideas with me (even though I didn't settle for any of the names she suggested).

All models are belong to: EA, Bioware

Hehe yeah.

Atleast the blue "decoration" colour was correct. So that was good.

No problem!  We certainly need more like her in gaming!

Agreed! Thing is I didn't realise people might want to see it in fanart just as well as in the game, but now I'm def gonna start doing more fanart with Zae.

Hells yeah!  I want to see it everywhere!  Men of color have been in gaming and such for a long time.  It's the women who don't get barely enough recognition.  So I'm always happy to see this sort of work!  Thanks for doing this!

Agreed, men of colour have been around much longer and more than woc.
I remember seeing Assassin's Creed Liberation with Aveline. Bought it purely because WOB protagonist! 

You are so very welcome.
I'm seriously just happy someone likes my fangirling. LOL
Aaaaaaand if it makes you happy I'm just about to upload my Asian Shep.

Gah I just fucking love her! The amount of work that you put into the biotics totally paid off, so many people are lazy with their biotic effects, but you never compromise!

Well, yeah, it's both a good and bad thing, and you're the one who has to put up with the "don't talk to me I'm concentrating, waitaminute I need your opinion on this!"

Thank you! Happy to hear you like it.
The reason I rarely post fanfics here is because it's just very time consuming and I have all of my readers over at FF.net anyway. 
But who knows, maybe one day, aye?

Love this work!  I'm also tearing my hair out a bit b/c I've been trying to combine a mesh mod for Sheva (and Nilin) and her head just won't graft onto Ashley's body...haha!  Ah well.  Love the work here!  Amazing model and even better biotic effects!  The entire composition is really nice!

Thank you so much! So happy you like it.
I know what you mean....grrrr....you don't even want to know how many layers named "biotics" this piece has.   
I did what I wrote in my note to you though and it worked out pretty well.
Are you trying to do it in XPS? Note me the models and what you're trying to do and I can take a look at it.

Seracen In reply to elmjuniper [2015-07-22 07:57:59 +0000 UTC]

Figured I'd give you an update on the meshmod status.  I found out I was making some basic errors, due to the tutorial I was looking at, lol!  I managed to get Sheva's head onto the bodies I wanted.  Unfortunately, the base body models are poorly named, so I can't pose them using pose packs (so I'll have to find different models).

With the Harley Quinn meshmod, I was deleting the wrong bones, rather than just hiding the unused ones.  And I still have no idea WTH is going on with Nilin, haha!  Ah well, beginner troubles to XPS.  Still having great fun though, and thanks for those links once again!

PS: 3DS Max 2016 NOT want to install for some reason, so I went with 2015 instead.  Into the breach I go!!!

elmjuniper In reply to Seracen [2015-07-28 17:49:59 +0000 UTC]

I had a similar problem when I wanted to install 3ds Max 2014. Wouldn't work at all, but 2015 worked just fine.
At least you're ambitious trying to create new meshmods, I do it the easy way and just remove all visible parts every time I open up the scene. Hahaha

Seracen In reply to elmjuniper [2015-07-29 14:06:29 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm totally starting to do that for models I don't intend to use often, lol!

elmjuniper In reply to Seracen [2015-07-30 06:35:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah and a lot of the time I swap models around.  As long as I have the heads, I'm all good. Haha
