Description Realising that all my renders to date have either had MShep or Liara sometimes both of them and wanting to break that up a bit, here is something new. Another couple that I find works very well. 

I've always looked at Tali as a sort of sister-brother relationship with Shepard. She was little more than a kid when we meet her in ME1, saving her butt from Saren's thugs. She was critical at proving Saren was a traitor and allowing Shepard to start his quest to bring Saren down. She is an interesting character, I like the mystery that you never see her face, don't know what she looks like and I think that is something that should remain.

While we have never see a Quarian face in-game (at least to my knowledge as I don't romance Tali as it feels wrong) I have always felt that Quarian's to be descendant from a bird like creature, not to the extent of the Turian's but they're certainly not human like in any real measurable way. 

Garrus to me is Shepard's best friend, his brother from another mother well and father and species. He's always had Shepard's back always the first to enlist with him no matter the circumstances. The two are best buddies and have a unique relationship for a turian and human. He is an awesome character and I always liked how being a former cop he seems willing to bend the rules, sometimes even breaking them to get the job done. To me Mass Effect wouldn't be the same without Garrus by your side. 

To me the core team of Mass Effect (squad-mates) is Liara, Shepard, Garrus and Tali so it felt right to do a render of these two now. Add Joker in and there is the heart of Mass Effect right there.

No real story behind this image unfortunately, too tired and sick to think of one. I'll be sure to update it with one after I get a little better and can think of something. They are on Rannoch and I'd like to think in the perfect ending where where is no longer any conflict the pair would settle down on Rannoch together, have a baby or two provided the two species could do that. They are both from dextro-protein races so it's more possible than going with a human in my opinion. 

Anyway enjoy and leave some feedback if you like it. This might be my last one for a little while. I have a lot coming up a couple of busy weeks and once I am better I plan to refocus my efforts on parallels, my Mass Effect fan fiction.

If you don't agree with my opinion on the characters that is fine, but don't start bashing me because of it. My art, my opinion. Mass Effect is all about choices and those are mine.

Yeah so many different choices you can do with the games. I only play MShep so it makes sense for those two to be a couple when your character is with someone else. I still remember the first time I bumped into the pair in the forward battery room in each others arms.

I remember the first time I walked in on them too. I had to look twice.

Nah I'll leave that up to your Epoch. Anyway as they say after you go blue nothing else will do!

Actually I never did understand the interest some people have in her. To me she's like my kid sister and I can't move my mind away from that. If I had to go for someone other than Liara I would probably go for Miranda. Not a big fan of Ashley.

Ugh, I've always found Miranda and Ashley so repulsive... although this probably isn't the place for me to spout my hierarchical nonsense. Lovin' the render... even if you don't think blue and purple should mix

Yeah to be honest as soon as I did the LOTSB in ME2 I cut off the relationship with Miranda. Gotta go blue.

Thanks.
