Description
Shepard breaking down after Horizon.Was listening to Bittersweet by Within Temptation when the idea for this pic came to me...so just quoting the lyrics.
If I tell you
Will you listen?
Will you stay?
Will you be here forever?
Never go away?
Never thought things would change
Hold me tight
Please don't say again
That you have to go
A bitter thought
I had it all
But I just let it go
Hold your silence
It's so violent
Since your gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you
If I had told you
You would have listened
You had stayed
You would be here forever
Never went away
It would never have been the same
All our time
Would have been in vain
Cause you had to go
The sweetest thought
I had it all
Cause I did let you go
All our moments
Keep me warm
When you're gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you

So amazing. This is EXACTLY how I imagine my Shepard would be that night alone in her cabin after Horizon.

I adore this and all your work. Can't wait for ME3 and Kaidan's return <3

You know that I love your pictures, it's amazing (and completely incomprehensible to me) how you make these pics from the reference images. But your advices for music...make the whole thing complete. Against all my plans my Shepard stayed faithful to Kaidan because of this. Thanks, really.

Aw, that's great to hear...thank you

Oh, my God. This is precisely the Shepard I imagine. Strong for her crew, but she's been through hell; we need to see more of this, so we know she's not a shell. Great job.

Thank you, I hope to see Shepard having some 'weak' moments in ME3...makes her more human imo

Aww, same face as my Lara (romanced Kaidan) but different hair.
Love this bit, 'Until the day we'll be back together, I will be waiting for you.' Really fits well with Kaidan and Shep
Hmm, I kinda want to make a video using this song.. But I don't think there's enough Kaidan in ME2. Maybe ME1 Kaidan would be alright...

If you mix ME1 and ME2 Kaidan you get a lot of material for sure

Lovely, would love to see the scenes fitting the lyrics a little more though so it's more one piece
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't think most of the scenes would fit in with the lyrics so I just put them in chronological order
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yep, I was thinking about having the part where she looks at his picture in colour and the rest in black and white...
I want to include the part where they're taking in the view at the citadel and Kaidan embarasses himself but I recorded it with subtitles.. So I've started a new game on ME1 to just record that bit without stupid subs ¬_¬

My Kaidan LI Shepard just got through Horizon and god that's the most sadest scene I have come through, feeling exactly the same as your femshep did~

Here's to hoping ME3 will really make up for Horizon

Ahh, she looks like my Jaina SO much! Damn, what a nice picture, my friend - the angle, the pose, the expression! AHHH don`t make me cry!

I love your work, this is how I felt after horizon. I don't think they gave us a good enough scene durring and afterwards.
>_> And I'd love to see you work with femshep/joker too. Not that I don't like kaidan or anything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe I've had more people ask for femshep/joker..not sure I'll ever get around to it though. Kaidan is way too distracting

oh that is beautiful. i haven't reached the end of Horizon yet.. but damn. makes me want to get there quickly.

Let me know what you think of Horizon when you went there

I LOVE this! Totally captures what Shepard might have been feeling after her encounter with Kaidan on Horizon. Plus, I LOVE that song!

I love this D:
There really needs to be a group (if there's not one already) that's along the lines of "I support sad Shep, because it doesn't make sense to have someone deal with this huge burden, and not seem to be too upset about it"..yup :[ Cuz like...There's no way Shep could just go through all this and not have the side they don't show the crew, which is the unsure and maybe not even that confident person they seem to be.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Agreed, though in the Liara DLC, Shepard does show a vulnerable side in her cabin. She gets to express her personal feelings on the whole situation and then ends up alone and looking all abandoned and stuff, I loved seeing that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I haven't played that yet, but I've seen the part online where she's talking to her in her cabin. I agree, seeing that was awesome :] It was sad when she's all "Come back Liara" or something like that :'[

I just got it yesterday. I can highly recommend getting it since it shows what Bioware is capable of DLC wise. I never used Liara much in ME1, never romanced her but the DLC really showcased both her and Shepard wonderfully. If Bioware uses the same standard for a Kaidan/Ash DLC, it would be brilliant! *crosses fingers*

I like how you edited in (your own?) arms; though they seem to belong to someone a bit younger than the Femshep in your picture.
Still excellent work, of course.

Oh my crap I miss this song, I don't even know which CD it's from but it's so beautifuuul ~~~ thank you for reminding me that it exists, and good work on the picture.

Think it wasn't really released on the Mother Earth album, but on a b-side? Don't recall either lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aparently it is from Mother Earth but the version was only released in some countries. The one I have doesn't have it.

That really expresses the emotion much better than you get in the game, still loving your work.

Oh! I really love this one! I had the same feeling when I met Kaidan on Horizon.
...Even though I realized you could romance Garrus, so I made a new ME character after that.
So I am ready for my Kaidan romance in ME3 and with my Garrus-mance in ME3. xD

Hell yeah.
There were moments in both games when the only true dialogue option was "start crying". Really cool piece of artwork.

It Looks EXACTLY like my Shepard, her name s Carmen Shepard! And this could be her twin
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sadly most female Shepards look the same, then again that would only be a problem if this was multiplayer

True, but this is an awesome piece all the same
