I like this picture because she's not underwear-model good looking, she's tough and dangerous looking and her beauty sort of comes from that.

This is one of my fave Shepard drawings on dA. The scar that extends across most of her face, plus her eyes just give her so much character.

Thanks for the lauding!
Lately I felt kinda down, because the female Shepards on this page ([link] ) all look so beautiful. But you convinced me to appreciate the value of character in... a character.
If you're interested in what she looks like ingame, just check my scraps.

Thank you. I checked her out and I think she looks great in game too! I try to stay away from that facecode database...it does make you second guess your own Shepard's design.

Thanks again! 
I see you've got several Shepards. Which one's your favourite?

My fave is Rachel (also of Asian descent) shown here [link]

Man, I wish the lighting was better. It works well for the picture, though.
For me, Femshep is Asian. Period!

Yeah, she's definitely my fave. I really haven't liked the other ones I've made.
Here's a better pic of her... [link] and [link]

Ayako was more accident, than anything else. It was more doodling around, and suddenly there she was.
Yes! That's much better. She looks great, you created a very smooth face. A very mature beauty. The darker skin makes me think Thailand. Definitely South-East Asia-ish.

~Vizeteufel has created a very interesting Shepard, indeed! He was disappointed when he discovered that ME2 takes your ME1 scars away!

Yeah, I was disappointed too. I had scars unique to my Shepards (my one FemShep used the same scars as Ayako has) as well. All Shepards start out with the same scarring in ME2.

No shiz! I made her look just like that! (but with red hair) though eventually I typically chickened out when it came to the friggin' Thorian...haven't played it now in several years. Oh well, the Thorian can't touch the Flood from Halo.

She looks great! A really angry Japanese look to her as well.

Ma che... *inserire parolaccia di sgomento ammirato e invidioso*...
Ma almeno ti rendi conto di che passi da gigante stai facendo, artisticamente parlando? E non mi riferisco solo a questo ritratto (che potrebbe essere tranquillamente su una copertina DC), ma anche agli altri lavori. Composizione, colore, luci, anatomie...
Praticamente fai dei balzi in avanti ogni settimana!
Non so in che zona di italia vivi, ma se hai l'opportunitΓ fai un pensierino ad una scuola di fumetto.

Grazie ^_^
penso che mi toccherebbe cambiare regione per trovare una scuola di fumetto, non mi sembra che ce ne siano a Bologna o a Ravenna!
Beh per ora sono contenta del mio lavoro (d'ufficio), ma non si sa mai di cosa ha in serbo il futuro!

Awesome, I think I can detect an almost asian look to her features which is nice (kinda goes with her name?) The light and shadow work on her face is impressive
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes exactly! I'm glad to see that I was able to draw her asian features well

Heh, this is pretty good, though I'm left wonderin' what the deal is with that ray of light lookin' thing racing across the right-side of her head.
And I'm all for the GIMP, as well

Vizeteufel asked to have some strong light source behind her so her face could be covered in shadows - plus it looks like she's interrogating someone
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not sure you know what I speak of. What's goin' on BEHIND her makes sense. What I'm refering to is the strip of lightness crossing her right ear toward her eye.
I guess it's really not that big a deal, but I had to ask since 1) I noticed it right away and 2) the effect isn't happening anywhere else, so it seems out of place to me.

Ah! Now I understand what you mean. Eh, Mass Effect is full of those strange strip of lights so I put one in this pic too

GIMP? I've NEVER heard of it. But I'll look into it. Thanks!

it's a free program [link] but if you've already got Photoshop you don't need it
π: 0 β©: 1
Doesn't matter. I like learning how to use different programs. Thanks for bringing this one to my attention.

Is it a scar or something on her nose? I cannot tell aswell when I look at original screenshots from the game, that Agent Google brought me.
Good work nevertheless!

thank you ^_^
it's a scar
π: 0 β©: 0
Yup, it's a nasty scar. If you wanna see actual screenshots, check my scraps.

Bello , molto in linea con l'atmosfera di Mass Effect!

I thought you'd write something more about her.
Oh, I love it btw. 
Good job!
