Holy F*****g S**t Dee! Lovin the crouched Eichdee pic... Mass Effect excellent drawing but now where on the topic! I played it for 3 hours and couldn't get into it at all. The guy in part 1 is expressionless and its a little like star trek a billion races with a billion names for guns and its like Hmmm. Plus the control scheme was abysmal! Sorry ( Yeah as I said somewhere in another topic, the controls for the first game are kinda weird and clumsy (that gets rectified in ME2, where the combat system is plain awesome). That and the voice actor for male shepard isn't that good (though the female one is superb, I'd suggest starting a female character just for that). But once you get past those little gripes, the game is really incredible. You mentioned that there is a ton of races, tech, etc etc and that it may feel overwhelming. I guess that's possible, but once you get used to the races, you really see that they are all unique and diverse. No race is similar to the other; The Turians are a proud military race, and form the biggest part of the Citadel fleet; the Asari are wise consulars, more involved in politics and democracy; the Salarians are mostly scientists with brilliant - borderline crazy - minds; the Volus are good with finance and serve mostly as bankers etc etc. All that to back the fact that bioware really thought everything through. And any question about anything you may have can be easily answered by reading the very interesting codex, in the pause menu, which covers everything from "how do these guns work really?" to "how did human kind ended up where we are?". Personally I learned to love that universe a lot - at least the same, or even more than StarWars/StarGate ones. In star wars there's tons of races, but they're pretty much underdeveloped and unexplored. They're just there to show diversity, but we never get to see who they are, since all protagonists are humans (except you, Chewie). I never watched StarTrek so I don't know about that. Still, I think it's worth it for you to start a female character and play more than three hours, while reading the codex every now and then. If not, well too bad. You're missing out on a great series of games, and Karaa and I will keep being awesome =) ...Just like Turians =) ...Particularly Garrus =) ...And Tali =) ...Although she's a Quarian =) ...Wrex is epic too =) ... I'll stop now =) ... =)

I love your post Dee!! So true!!! I loled at the end!
Val, the female shepard voice actor is a lot better than the male's. She is a lot more expressive. (like Dee pointed out!)
It really is a great game series!

Well, I hope you guys are ready. Cooked up something little for y'all!
Still in early lineart stage, but couldn't wait to show you. So here it is =P
fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/158/a/4/pride___in_works___by_eichdee-d3ibmwf.jpg
It's a little large, but I wanted the lineart to be as crisp as possible, so sorry for the size.
left to right; Rassy, Telemancer, Valaro, EichDee, Pylat, Karaa, Ceege, Rycus.
Lol at guys all dressed the same, you so original =P j/k
I didn't include Angelis since I ran out of space, and he hasn't been active lately. So sorry ang, i'll make it up next time =/
Pylat, I didn't take away your sniper. First, because it took me a long time to draw it, and second, you look awesome with it. Final.
Rassy, don't worry, your facial tattoos are going to be there, just not in black ink.
Before I start the colors I want to know a few things;
Ceege: your pants, what color are they? Valaro: same question. Purple or black? Rycus: Are you all in black, or are there variations? And do you wear gloves? Karaa: Since all the boys have shades, I was thinking we needed some too. On an alt version of the pic, which kind you'd like?
And since this is a drawing, and not ingame, any little unique details you'd like to give your character (jewellery, tattoos, accessories, etc) feel free to tell me, and i'll do my best to add it. (pics go a long way to showing me what you want.)
I obviously used references for the background and firearms, I can't do that stuff perfectly from the top of my head lol. Aside from that, hope you like and that you're as impatient as I am to see the final version =)

Looks great so far, got the resized pic as my wallpaper on my desktop. What is wrong with all the guys dressing in 3 piece suits? Just means we like to look good for the ladies. I wear all black from head to toe including the gloves. Only request I have is on the goatee add a little grey since I have grey in it. Just a quick peak of how I look

The fraying at the bottom is pretty sweet. Would it be possible to add a few loose threads around the patches on the knees?

looks great! I agree with Pylat the fraying at the bottom looks awesome! I think maybe adding a few loose threads like pylat suggested would be cool. imageshack.us/photo/my-images/353/picture6041ou.jpg/sr=1Believe it or not, it was hard to find a decent pair of ripped jeans without the people who were posting the pictures going nuts. Anyway...this picture has some loose threads. I thought it might help. But you, obviously, dont have to copy anything from this picture. I think the jeans you have drawn look great!

Lol Rassy =P. I actually think you look awesome like that, but my opinion is my opinion lolll. I based myself on that tiny tiny tiny avatar you have, if you would be so kind as to post a bigger picture it would help me a lot x). Especially for the tattoos
And I'll try the thread things on the jeans, at least i'll try to make it look good.

yep. I've been told i should use ImageReady instead, since i use vectors and not brushes. Apparently photoshop's vector sucks compared to IR, so I might try it out next time. but right now, yeah, photoshop cs2

I think it's better to look around at the forums for more pictures of me... i don't think i got many more. I'll look around my pc when i get home from my nightshift (atm).
Edit:
at home: Operative Profile Page 6 is the same pic but a little bit bigger
End of the world vids and screenies Page 2 almost a close up of my face... and my favorite stance... (i don't think i ever used any other stance, it was this or /dance3)
recent pics with group photos Page 2 The Pride Wallpaper...
I'll look on my pc a bit further but at first i couldn't find any. Guess i hid them better than i first thought.
