Happy N7 Day!

Well, I was going to share the next Rhys and Kaidan chapter with you all today, seeing as it's N7 Day (and ironically, Rhys never goes to ICT! lol).

HOWEVER, technology gremlins had a different plan. The entirety of Chapter 4 - all 5K plus of it - is corrupted and irretrievable. For the SECOND time this year.

Thankfully, I'd printed a copy out at the end of last week, before I made some big edits. So, I have a copy that's mostly good to go. I'll never be able to remember all the edits I'd made (and damn, some were good and there was a big addition in there, too, I think?), but at least I have a working copy I can try to reconstruct it from.

So, maybe by next week? We'll see how it goes.

In the meantime, hope you all enjoyed N7 day, and have a few pictures of Rhys and Kaidan from the series People Like Us!

The gravity well roars, Shepard’s corona burning to life like a collapsing star. Too late, Kaidan understands the true danger in the room.

And it’s not the pirates.

i commissioned @xla-hainex to draw Mikka Shepard and Javik during Priority: Earth and i'm intensely happy with the result! the expressions and lighting are beautiful and all the little details are absolutely stunning, zoom in to take a look at them. for those who are unfamiliar with Mikka's story, a little context here: Mikka is the younger of two Shepard sisters, and this moment is set after her older sister Taryn convinced Javik to distract her until after hammer left on the run for the beam. Mikka is now faced with the knowledge that her sister is in the process of sacrificing herself to save the galaxy and there's nothing she can do to stop it. and, of course, i had to have the Citadel glowing to foreshadow the ending decision

Hello guys!

It's been almost a year since i actually posted anything here, but i'm still pretty much alive. All this time i've been doing exclusively commissions and had no time and resources for personal artworks, and i'm sincerely grateful for each and every person who decided to commission me and support me in that way!

Believe it or not, the waiting list was full all this time since my latest commissions update post, but i'm finally almost through it.

So, COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN

All info is still relevant, prices and everything. It's here if you're interested.

A massive THANK YOU to @xla-hainex for taking on this amazing commission of @erubadhriell Original Character from her book, Erik, and my Dragon Age: Inquisition OC, Gissella Trevelyan! They are on a date and they discovered some ruins and decided to stargaze together as it was such a lovely and starry night! Thank you so much Maria! You're always a pleasure to work with! 💖💖💖 My bestie and I are still SCREAMING about this! So GORGEOUS! 💖💖💖

I commissioned @xla-hainex again for a portrait of my Grey Warden, Aspasia Surana. 

I say this every time, but Maria is absolutely amazing and I really encourage commissioning her!

I was lucky enough to snag a commission from @xla-hainex​, and boy did she do an amazing job or what!! She was wonderful to work with, even with all my fumbling, bumbling descriptions. Honestly, I haven’t been able to stop staring at her. I’m so much in love with her!

Sometimes, two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together.

Everybody Loses It - Chapter Update

(commissioned art of Rhys Shepard and Kaidan Alenko by @xla-hainex)

Everybody Loses It

Summary: One of the first human biotics, prothean specialist Dr. Rhys Shepard has fought for years to distance himself from the events at BAaT and distance himself from his parents and their military careers. When a prothean beacon is discovered on Eden Prime, he snatches the chance to finally prove himself.

Until the geth attack and he comes face to face with a part of his past he thought long dead...

Chapter 4: One Step Closer

Excerpt:

"I'm no Indiana Jones, Ryder, and I’m certainly no Johnny Cash." Out of the darkness to Rhys' left, a familiar voice calls from the shadows, "They named the dog Indiana, as I recall." Another memory flash returns - secret movie nights at BAaT, stolen snacks from the kitchens, and whispered commentary as they sit in the dark - and Rhys pinches his nose.  Of course, Kaidan would remember that.  A glance to his left finds Kaidan slipping from the shadows and Williams is behind him.  That isn’t a surprise as she joined the Normandy crew right after Eden Prime, but the three figures following her - a quarian, a turian, and a krogan - are unexpected.  The purple and silver hooded quarian is the first of the three to speak.  "What's a dog?" To Rhys' surprise, it’s the krogan who answers.  "Varren-like creature, but smaller and with fur." "Fur?" Williams clarifies, "Animal hair." "Ah."

Read Chapter | Read From Beginning | Read Series

Just a few things to note:

1) Rhys is a slightly older Shepard, a combination of a spacer and Earthborn background, and non-military. He goes off to college and graduate school and becomes a prothean specialist

2) He and Kaidan have known one another since BAaT. They have a history together.

3) Kaidan is the Commander of the Normandy. He essentially takes over the role of Shepard in the ME canon timeline

This story isn't a retelling of all of game 1, but will use bits and pieces of it that fit for their story.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed writing them!

For anyone interested, Rhys has two playlists on Spotify.

This one is associated with his story The Barn called Shore Leave on Mindoir

And this is his general playlist that I listen to while writing for him. It may change some as his story continues.

If you have any questions about Rhys, feel free to drop an ask! I love to talk about my characters! :)

Enjoy!

"I was about to say something cheesy.”

I couldn’t resist the temptation and I commissioned again xD @xla-hainex to paint Dee and Reyes at this particular moment during the dance scene. And her work is spectacular, as always. 

Thank you so much! ♥
