Description
The release date of ME2 is drawing ever closer...And to celebrate this, I've decided to do pics of all the ME2 main characters.
Now, as far as we know at the moment Garrus isn't actually a recruitable squadmate, but has more of a cameo appearance.
However, I thought I'd start with him as he was my favourite character from the first game, and I love the new look they've given him for the second.
If you have time to favourite you have time to comment!

the coolest sniper in videogame history but that's my opinion though, i guess he got finished with his calibrations

Great art. He looks a little like being made of wax or something simmilar

Just reading your description... how much would it have sucked if he *hadn't* been recruitable in ME2?
He was a dependable old friend, especially during those early stages, when the other characters' loyalties weren't clear yet. He's an honorable, yet tough-as-nails warrior - a good turian to have watching your back. And you capture that character marvelously.
I've been looking through your gallery, and I don't know if I'll be able to comment on everything I like, because there's so much. But let me just say here that the quality of your artwork is truly something great. Yet, what really stands out (at least in your ME-based drawings) is how well you capture the personalities of your subjects. To quote Professor Lombardo from 'The Simpsons', "You find the inner beauy of your subjects and bring it out for all the world to see."

He looks fantastic! His face looks a little strange because it's a lot smoother than his face really is in the game, but I actually like that effect (and it fits in with your other Mass Effect creations). I also love the shades of blue. Awesome!
Also, I was sooo happy when I found out that Garrus was recruitable in ME2.

Well, luckily he was! And more as it seems ...
Wow, this is beautiful ... What kind of armour is that? I'm having a lot of trouble finding suitable armour for Garrus, so far I didn't come across a single set of Heavy armour .. and once I Omni gel:ed his default blue armour and he ended up in a white-pink monstrosity. xD Poor Garrus ... stupid me.

Heh, you can't get this armor for him in Mass Effect 1, and the only way to get Heavy Armor for him is to glitch heavy armor from another species onto him - you find no heavy turian armor in ME1

Really? Ha ha, no wonder I couldn't find any even though I looked everywhere then ...
You know, I had so much fun with the first game. I didn't read the manual at all, and it wasn't until just before facing Saren in the ultimate battle that I realized I had been running on Veteran difficulty, without upgraded weapons, because I didn't understand how all that upgrading worked ... and I also discovered poor Garrus was wearing class 1 armour. Needless to say, I never beat the game that time.

Garrus baby
I barely know half the things about him, haven;'t even played ME 2 yet and I'm falling hard already.
He's just awesome.
I LOVE the way he's done here. Very smooth.

Very nice. What I love about your mass effect fanarts are that you capture the traits and make the art actually LOOK like the characters, which most of people struggle with. The only part i would have liked to see even more detail put into are the face plates. some darker spots here and there etc. I especially like the armor and the sight on his left eye

I like the style, it reminds me of a certain storybook I can't remember
I love Garrus, he's one of my all time favorite characters; though all the characters were brilliant

Garrus is a hoss.
He kicks inordinate amounts of ass in Mass Effect 2, as well.

Ah! Another one of my favorite alien partners of Mass Effect. The noble and dedicated Turian C-Sec police detective and a good warrior.
You do him 'justice.' Thank you!

His armor sort of kinda reminds me of the Thermal Armor they have for him. Must be all the glowie lights. :3

Yahhhhh Garrus! <3
Love it. The background gives me a vibe of the ending screens you get at the end of ME1.
Plus he looks so cool in this style.
Lovely work!

Well done. This work has an interesting style to it.
By the way, Garrus is recruitable in Mass Effect 2. Interestingly enough, he goes by the pseudonym of Archangel.

The backround and texture you used on his armor are amazing. His eye piece lookes a if you can touch it.

Nice one, hope he will be recruitable. It would be lonely with just Shepard and Tali against the brutes.

Nice work. Makes me think of the Paragon ending shot, first game.

OH, WOW. LOOK WHO SUDDENLY HAS TIME TO DO PICTURES OF /ALL/ THE CHARACTERS.
Bloody bastard.
It looks amazing, though.

The colour on his head is wrong. You did get the texture and scales right, but his skin is mostly grey, not pink.

Are you sure? He looks mostly grey on my screen.

Compare the images and see for yourself: [link]

Well to my eyes, the tones look identical. The in-game image has higher contrast, especially on the edges of his skin segments, but as for the hue itself, they look the same. Plus that screenshot was taken on Feros, an environment that actually lowers the saturation of the characters to fit in with it's lighting style. In fact, you'll notice that the in-game Garrus's neck has higher saturation than any part of my own image.

Looks fine to me. Perhaps you should get your monitor checked.
And the way you come about deciding whether or not the colouring is right is quite rude.
Haven't you heard of an artists' take on things?
Either way, there was a fantastic job, even if the colour is less than slightly off.
