Description Next Page

So my roommate and muse Itsu, ((Christina to the common mortal)) told me flat out that I draw WAY TOO MUCH FANART! More specifically, Mass Effect. So in my attempt to try and draw something else it COMPLETELY BACKFIRED!! Which in all hindsight, was predictable for the most part.
One of the things Itsu made fun of me for was that I had whole fan made stories about my characters mad up in my head. And well, its true... So I decided to draw a fan comic of Liara and Kaya shepard!! Cause lets face it there isn't enough fan comics out there of ME and the characters.

But then I got a RANDOM phone call from my father a few months back and well... Lets just say it inspired me in how to start the comic. I see alot of fan comics were Liara and their femshep have already had kids and thus the comic is about the family. But what of before? How did they ever reach the point of "happily ever after" to even have kids? Face it, if you were Shepard and had to go through all that crap of saving the galaxy and whatnot you would have a few mental issues in the end.

So here you are. The fist page, Feel free to throw out a few ideas on what I should call this cause i sure as hell am drawing blanks.

Please note however:: A friend of mine encouraged me to not go back and fix comic pages. His reasoning was that as I progress with the comic I will be able to see my progress as an artist. And if I were to go back and fix them, I would be doing that constantly and wind up being to busy redoing past pages instead of coming out with new ones. I'm taking his advice to heart cause he has his own web comic The Konamis [link]

ah, i'm glad you think so. ^^ The other picture is one of liara in a coat. However the one I used for page one I found on the internet and like an idiot I never saved it to a file for later use. Havn't been able to find it since. So I made a new one for pages 18 and 19.

enmarwen [2013-02-26 17:27:18 +0000 UTC]

So I've read this all now...isn't there a better way to fanart out your baby fantasy for them than to butcher character's personalities and the lore of the source material?

Not to mention does no one find what you've made Aethyta into just creepy? A manipulative person who is lying to get her way rather respecting whatever Liara and Shepard's wishes on having children may be? Which is not only out of character, just makes no sense, since Liara is really young as far as Asari go.

All this is coming across to me as is a shallow "omg baybeeez" comic and I'm really not feeling it.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

canius In reply to enmarwen [2013-02-26 21:54:25 +0000 UTC]

Most of my asari info comes from the Mass Effect Wiki page . Regarding your issue of Liara still being young by asari standards the Wiki mentions this: "The Matron stage of life begins around the age of 350, though it can be triggered earlier if the individual melds frequently. This period is marked by a desire to settle in one area and raise children" followed by: "However, it should be noted that each stage can be started whenever an asari feels that she has reached the correct level of maturity."

As far as portraying personality I admit that I am trying my best to keep them true to their character. Aeythta for instance, always seemed to have that sneaky way of doing things (to me anyway). Like in me3 during the conversation between her and Liara, she made a small comment that liara was "a quarter Krogan". And when Liara said that wasn't how things worked, Aeythta goes on to say that she has had kids with Hanar which prompted Liara to ask in confirmation that she had a half sister who was part Hanar. Thus my excuse to portray her as sneaky underhanded type.

But alas I will admit at times I let things get a bit out of hand personality wise. Liara especially. In which I apologise for my sense of humor running away with the characters.

However I am more ashamed (at myself) that all your getting is "OMG baybeeez" feel off of my comic. Because that was not my intention. My intention was to portray Shepard with PTSD and how it affected her life with liara, and the trials they have to endure for her to get over it.

All in all however I thank you kindly for your comment. I truly do! As I work on the rest of the story I will keep the things you said close to heart and make the proper improvements.

Your friend gives good advice, the internet is littered with the remains of dead comics that were started and never continued, often because the artist wanted to go back and redo the beginning of their comic (and often completely rework their story too in the process). Best to just continue a comic and use anything you learn along the way for your next story.

Also I like the last panel of this page. : )

Well, Asari didn't even have to get naked to make babies, maybe not even physically touch each other at all.

Of course, where the hell is the fun in that? So, as 'dad' says, if its civilized, you aren't doing it right!

Ooo, a comic. And I might actually be playing Mass Effect sometime in the near future now that there's a PS3 release of it, so I might actually know the characters and understand! Also I think your friend is 100% right about not going back to redo old pages (though I'd make an exception if you discover a blunder about what a character looks like, or a dialogue error or something, personally), because I face the same conundrum with my writing and constantly have to stop myself from going back and changing *that*. Creators will never be 100% happy with what they create, nope. That is our curse.
