Description

Seems like I can't quit those two because I simply love seeing them together. Such an unlikely couple but somehow I think it would Β work. James is exactly what Miranda needs...


Also, I was finally able to combine two XPS models together!!! Yay! . I wanted to find a sexy yet very casual outfit for Miri and this one seemed perfect. In my post ME3 head canon (and I recently found out that HuggyBear742 has the same opinion), Miranda has joined the Alliance as the new Normandy SR3 executive officer, hence the Alliance fatigues.


Unfortunately though, I can't even share this model because there's something very wrong with the neck and I haven't had the chance to clean up all the useless bones. Maybe next time... And I would just like to add that placing and rotating fingers is a pain in the butt!


Thank you very much to Dragon-Claw666 for suggesting this lovely title.

Don't you think James is a little too, say, uneducated to be loved by the overly intelligent Miri? Just a thought that crossed my mind...

In a sense, you're totally right. Β James pretty much represents the blue collar class and there's nothing refined or fancy about him, that's for sure.

But I do believe that he and Miri have at least one thing in common (an absent father) and I also believe that Miri really needs someone who can ground her and keep it real for her. Besides, I've always felt that James is smarter than he may look. I don't think he would have been asked to join the N7 program if he wasn't... Β 

There's a fantastic fanfiction called "Beautiful Flirtations" that perfectly illustrates what I'm trying to explain. I think it's probably the main reason why I ship those two so hard.

Wasn't the N7 program for skilled soliders, no matter their intelligence?
(The intelligence thing is what made me refrain from shipping him with Ash as well btw)

Oh, well, fanfictions can do a LOT! I experienced that myself.

Thank you so much! I'm very happy to find yet another person who feels the same way about those two because I don't think there's too many of us out there yet. Mind you, it took me a while to see how great they would be together but once I did, I was like: "How come I never saw this before?..." *facepalm* LOL!

If you're interested and have some free time, there's an amazing fanfic about James and Miranda that you can find here:Β www.deviantart.com/art/Beautif… .

I was afraid of that... It's been a looooong time coming though, and now I have all those ideas I want to experiment with. I might even try my hand at Blender eventually because I know that not everything can be modded in XPS.

And believe me, I really understand when you talk about the pain of posing fingers! But you did a good job here, the pose looks very natural as far as I can tell!

I can't get enough of this couple either, they just seem so compatible even though they're quite the opposite. But I guess that's why they could work as a couple

Wonderful render, they look so peaceful and calm, so casual. OMG I love seeing them together! Well done

And as a side note, since your the author here, how about we find a moniker for this lovely couple? I kinda tried yesterday but I'm stomped and nothing sounds good enough, it seems...

Hmm...
Jamanda (sounds a little weird lol)
Jiranda (sounds even weirder lol)
Jiri (LOL)
Mirega (huh? lol)

that's about it that I can come up with now. Some sound really funny lol.

Sorry I was so incoherent but man it really is just the sweetest pic. I find renders so often have weird-looking or somewhat plastic-looking expressions or odd posing so when one just nails it it's so great.


God knows Miranda could use some contentment in her life, and James too of course, and imagining the steps it would take them to get to this point... <3
