Description Welcome to the realm of ME3 comics!

There will be more to come, eventually

This one, as you can see, is a little extension of the Post Thessia Angst. After Shep kick starts Liara into doing something productive (because Shep knows first hand that what Liara needs most when grieving is something to do to feel like she's being useful), she lets her get on with stuff for a while before intervening again, mainly because she's feeling crappy as well and needs some Liara hugs. <3

I hope you enjoy it, apologies as always for the shoddy shading (I HATE IT) and backgrounds (I HATE THEM).

Dedicated to my Gunslingergrrrl

ALSO:

I used reference images for the last couple of panels!
One of them was this:
'That Place of Comfort' by TheUsed-Genuine-Fake
[link]

and the other was one I found during a Google image search, but I don't appear to have saved the link. I think it was a Hollyoaks Screencap (that's a British soap opera).

Really appreciate you have also Comics about ME3 now. I'm always impressed how you manage to make such detailed conversations.
While playing I was thinking about some things you grabbed here. And Bioware really could have added some more closeness during the game.
After the End of ME3 i had to think about your work and asked myself how you probably took it.
I mean it is my favourite game ever, but I guess I'm less into it and it felt already almost traumatic to me. Well the extended cut makes it quite better but still it's sad and hard to grasp...

Glyph, I don't trust you. He is older and more advanced than most holo-drones.

Aww that's a sweet moment.

Jepp, definetely the scene I was expecting.... I mean I romanced Liara, I expected my Shepard to have a little more comforting going on.

Nicely done...

Noted: Gift for Liara: Shepard Pillow!

I laughed and I liked it.

Greetings!

P.S.: And giving us something that Bioware missed too...

Whee, you're back with new ideas!
Pretty much the talk I wish I could hear in the game And who'd have thought a badass renegade Shep is so cuddly
And Glyph must be secretly working for the Reapers and sending them the intel about Shep being a pillow

This was a great comic. Cute and a great extension of that scene. I haven't played the game myself (demo only) but I can honestly say I've seen all the "romance" scenes involving Liara, including this one. I loved it <3

Minty-Nutmeg [2012-06-14 21:14:13 +0000 UTC]

Loved this! Even though my Shep romanced Kaidan, I always wanted the option to comfort Liara like this after Thessia - we're still really close friends, you know? You did a great job with the dialogue and how you portrayed their relationship: you can really tell how close they are, and how much they care for each other Hope you do more of these!
Also, Hollyoaks...hate that show, ahaha XD At least you made something good come of it, lol :L

Carter-Kaine [2012-06-14 20:24:35 +0000 UTC]

GLYPH! at the end!!!!!!! priceless!

I don't understand why everyone was babying Liara after Thessia though. I took Javik with me which gets her most emotional reaction since he pretty much blos her entire religion and society up since they worshiped the protheans. My shepard ws Earthborn (Headcannoned to have grown up in Vancouver) so her home town got slammed by the Reapers, Kaidan's too, garrus watched Palaven burn and Tali finally got her homeworld back after having to defeat the Repaers there, but they're all like "I don't know what to say to her" and I'm thinking it's a "welcome to the we hate the reapers because they've destroyed our homes" club but without two paragon interupts Liara has a breakdown despite going through exactly what everyone else on the ship has gone through. I hated that, she should be stronger than that, especially since she's become the Shadow Broker.

Anyway I rambled. sorry for that, great comic as usual, I can't wait for the next one!

It's like you read my mind when it comes to things I wanted to have my Shepard tell her after that scene. And judging from the comments, a lot of other people agree. Without her there would be no Ilos, no resurrection, no crucible, and, consequently, no hope.

JaylaClark [2012-06-13 06:55:27 +0000 UTC]

This, I found interesting. There's that near-meme of "How 'helpful' is Liara" ... that is, as a source, in the game... talking about how everything that happens seems to come about without Liara's input.

This 'meme' disregards the fact that Liara really got this all rolling in the first place, AND kept it rolling by saving Shepard's cute butt from actual death. I really wish they'd shown more of Liara's contributions in ME3, though, but I understand why... one of the few things either Mac Walters, Casey Hudson, Patrick Weekes or any combination of the three comprehend is how easy it is for a character to overwhelm a story and become a Wesley (screw TvTropes and their 'Creator's Pet' talk, the term will ALWAYS be named after Ensign Crusher in my head). And dare I say it, to some people she qualifies, though they held her back enough to make me sure that those weirdos have VERY little reason to complain.

I mean, Liarasexuals like us have the luxury of having the only mission-critical character in the entire game as a love interest. Everyone else from the previous games, except for Joker and EDI, can die. Not Liara. She CAN'T die except in circumstances that scream 'non-canon' to me, and only at the very end at that. She's portrayed as wise, ruthless, sweet, sexy, naked (in a series where Shepard herself apparently showers in her bra and panties!)... her faults are fairly few if that. I can't recall a single person who says bad things about her, with the exception of Ash in some dialogue trees. And of course antagonists.

So I don't mind that she's not the great and powerful oracle of awesomeness in this game. Truth be told, she could have been IF she was held out of the squad, and even THAT would have Talimancers frothing at the mouth. And for once, legitimately. But what we see of her is far better. I think.

Lorcan0c [2012-06-13 03:12:23 +0000 UTC]

That panel where Liara looks at Shepard with no Dialogue. Amazing. Why is it the people who write deviantart comics write more realistic scenes than the ones we get ingame?! I wanted this kind of scene with Liara. True, the one we got was pretty good, but it felt rushed and messy. Not like this.

Terrific work

And a big "D'AAAWWWWW!" for all Liara-mancers out there. I always figured it would be the space hamster that propagated Shepard's demise. That, or avenge the commander if he/she died during the suicide mission.

I could never figure why Bioware didn't put Something like this in after the Thessia mission if you romanced Liara, but you did an AWESOME job putting this together really feels like something would've been in-game. Also, N7 bowl = Epic and now I need to find a way to make it mine.

When I saw this one in my inbox, I was all like "YES! Finally after so long time" And it was really good too, especially with that part when you mentioned how much important Liara actually is, never crossed my mind.

Still, glad to see you are back and keep up the good work.

This was brilliant, I still wanted the option to actually comfort her in the game rather than just telling her to get back to work.
I could really have used something like this, kudos to you for the comics once again
Also you seem to be getting even better with your paintings, Shepard and Liara looks splendid.

Perfect! I feel like sending this to the BioWare people with a note saying... 'Look! that's how it's done! - P.S. Now don't screw the ending again.'

I love it! it was worth the wait... and all those times on MSN you ignored me to continue colouring or to fix this and that XD

Thank you, this comic means a lot to me... I think you know
