Description
I had the (bad) idea of using real photos of Ivonne Strahovski for this page in stead of screenshots of the game and I must say that I'm not pleased with the results, as I feel her face is rather inconsistent. Experiment failed, I will take it into account for the next pages, full of Miranda -not my favorite character, believe me- as this is chapter will deal -not into extreme detail- with her loyalty mission. Just FYI, loyalty-mission chapter will have colored eyes. I'm soooo original.I found alarming the lack of dialogue of the third party member during the loyalty missions, so here Garrus has more... dialogue than in the game. My main reason is that Garrus could feel more involved due to the 'sister' issue. It can be also seen as a little confrontation with Miranda and her role as Shepard's XO. IMO, Garrus is more suited for that role, but that's just an opinion, no need to spread it around
As for the last panel, I copied directly from a screenshot from the game, and I can say that I don't really like drawing weapons.
Thanks to for his beta-read!

Mass Effect characters belong to Bioware.
I’ve been reading many ME fanfics for a good while, so if anyone spots something familiar, do tell me and I’ll be delighted to quote the author+fic that inspired it.
EDIT: Now with Cerberus logo included

Thanks! I enjoyed doing that last panel. Specially because the reference was so clear... I usually use XNalara models and... they are not the same... not at all!
It's no excuse, but considering the hell of a time I'm having with Miranda in these pages... I'll say I'll fix it for the next time, but I truly want to avoid a next time

Wow, the way you end the page. Just wow. That's exactly the kind of thing Bioware would do *.*

Hate drawing weapons? Could've fooled me; that last panel is so tight! Great job on both the Tempest and the Carnifex!

Thanks!! Well, hating to do something doesn't mean you don't have to do (or at least try) to do a good job with them...

errr no == Garrus and Shepard are MUCH better together.. Kaidan's just a pathetic dude who turned gay in ME3 ==;; I go Garrus all the way for all my 18 playthroughs of ME1+ME2+ME3

I never liked Miranda. However i did feel bad for her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why did you feel bad for her?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Always on the run from her father, trying to always protect her sister, and is later on the run from the Illusive man as well. That sounds like a living hell always running and hiding.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed, it does sound bad... However, while she was protecting Oriana, she was under Cerberus wing, I understand that was not a very bad situation, besides, it's not something that is imposed on her, is something she chooses to do. She also chooses to abandon Cerberus when Shepard 'opens' her eyes. What I want to say is that even she's in bad situation, is something she has chosen and considering that Miranda is no stupid, she must have weighted that option carefully before going for it. If she had found herself in a bad situation, I might pity her, but not in that situation. Besides, everything (can) turn up well for her

Miranda tampoco es un personaje que me haya "encantado" ya que parecía que necesitaban un "sex symbol" para hacer más atrayente al juego... Aún así el detalle en su ropa, su cara es idéntica y porqué no, Garrus se ve fantástico en su armadura*.*

Una vez alguien me dijo (o leí en alguna parte) que los romances de ME2 se podían clasificar en "el físico" (Jacob y Miranda), "raritos" (Thane y Jack) y "amor verdadero" (Garrus y Tali). Sospecho que quien hizo la clasificación era fan del Equipo Dextro... Para mi gusto, Miranda es un personaje aburrido. Nada en ella me llama la atención y no me parece que tenga una personalidad atractiva (no me acercaría a una persona así en la vida real, no lo hago en el juego).
Gracias!! Tengo que mejorar la parte de las caras, no es que estén mal, pero podrían estar mejor (soy demasiado perfeccionista).

You're too hard on yourself-I really think that your Miranda is beautiful and looks waaaay better than the one ingame!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!! But I still think her face is too different from panel to panel. I'll try to solve it only using screenshots from the game in the next page

I'm really looking forward to see how it will look like!

I do like what you did with Miranda here, with you using photos of Ivonne Strahovski. I honestly dont like the way she looks in panel 5. I think its her hair...its not wavy enough. Panels 4 and 7 however, I think she looks amazing, which is alot for me to say b/c I really despise her. I love the colored eyes! I cant wait to see the next page! Keep up the amazing work!

I see there are not many fans of Miranda (commenting) here... I not her fan either believe me... I'll be checking those panels, thanks!!
I'll do my best!

I think, too, that in ME1 the crew members were involved more in the dialogues and interrupted more. In ME2 they were so passive, and when they spoke they mostly directly adressed it to Shepard as if they were timid.^^ In ME3 it was just perfect. I don´t like Miranda, too, but like this page even though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree! It was a good idea that came back for ME3. I want to think that as they are a group of people who doesn't know each other, could be more... reserved, but after a couple of missions together... doesn't that build team spirit, or something?
Thanks! Miranda's not my favorite character and I don't enjoy drawing her, but she deserves some "time on screen" too

Beautiful as usual. Miranda wasn't my favorite either nor did I enjoy this mission that much. I thought Ori was a better character and she only sends you an email.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
I agree with you!! I think that if Miranda had shown some change of attitude after her mission... But she's still the same! Oriana was more... likable!
