Compilation videos I sent to my brother to teach him about mass effect and mostly Renegade.

Mass Effect glitter jars. Each one sandblasted with the Paragon emblem on one side and the Renegade emblem on the other, and filled with blue and red glitter suspended in mineral oil so it swirls around nicely.
[Video description here because I can't tag it onto the video itself: Small jar — 3,5cm tall, 1.5cm diameter — sandblasted with the Mass Effect Paragon and Renegade symbols on the outer surface, and filled with blue and red glitter suspended in mineral oil. The glitter starts out settled to the bottom of the jar. The jar is inverted to make the glitter cascade downward. As the jar is turned and spun around the glitter swirls through the oil. End description.]
You don't chase a rogue spectre across the galaxy for several months to save intelligent life from the apocalypse without realizing a few things about yourself along the way.
I tried to experiment with my style with this comic. Please forgive the sketchiness. I'm trying to make less important comics faster.
Love that he embodies everything negative we usually associate positively with renegade Shepard. Love how it doesn't fit him, how it fails him each time he tries. Love that he tries to blind himself into a world where there's only good or bad people (like a cop). Love that he decides Omega, the greyest of grey places, is a place full of bad people. "All I have to do is point my gun and shoot" but not for the people he's trying to save, the peope who call him "Archangel". Who were they again? Does he even recognize them when he's aiming for criminals on the station?
Love that Garrus is forced to confront seeing the world this way in a paragon route, that he's forced to see grey, address the grey. Realizing that everyone has something, a cause, a reason and that his brand of justice may not be just.
Love that Garrus hates the rules that surround him but he is in fact the reason C-Sec has so much red tape, to try and stop injustice among their forces. That Turians aren't meant to question but he does so much but about the wrong things; he's too blind by hate to understand what he's doing. Garrus wants to take care of people and protect people like a good turian however he thinks the best way to help is killing the "bad people". He believes in eye for an eye but hasn't heard the full quote, doesn't know "An eye for an eye will make the world blind". Mercy for one person he despised, who he hated, causes him to rethink his whole character and his previous actions.
I just love this level of tragedy and self-evaluation to a dorky, alien sniper
