I was browsing Pinterest and found an old photo of a woman in a classic dress holding a huge fish. I was looking for some reference for Shepard art, and this photo amused me. Shepard would definitely try to win in a "male" sport, to put someone down as a preventative measure, regardless of what she's wearing or what she's doing.

Also, I'll share some Shepard concepts.

Is it rude that I reimagined humanity, First Contact with aliens, and humanity's place in galactic society? I don't know, but I wanted to make humans more dramatic. With a huge layer of unsightly history, a collapsed economy, and a demographic crisis due to internal strife. I just wanted to write a lot of dark scenes between humans — why not?

And also Shepard's backstory. I wasn't satisfied with just her being an orphan, a gang kid, or taking care of space potatoes in a colony. I wanted to make her not just a captain of a spaceship, but someone who owns her own land and understands politics. Not that she's trying to get into the Galactic Council — it's just that to keep her land, she had to max out her oratory skills. It's hard to briefly describe her development as a person, so let's just note that she comes from a good family, has a decent chunk of land that was cleverly claimed five generations ago, and has commanded many squads (her soldiers also get promoted, so she's "raised" a lot of captains and often recruits newbies for her ground team). It's precisely because she trained so many rookies well that she was sent to Palaven as an exchange teacher.

Yes, there will be no Reapers in my fanfic. All the problems will be invented and carried out by the aliens themselves along the way.

But that's not even what I wanted to talk about. Outfits!

In everyday life, Shepard prefers loose clothing like in the first option. There are more "youthful" variants, but I haven't drawn them all yet.

The second option is the Alliance uniform. In the game it's gender-neutral, but I wanted some flair and accents.

The third is combat armor. It's probably drawn incorrectly — I didn't understand how it's actually attached and works. I drew it the way I understood it, so please don't judge too harshly.

There's also a sketch of an outfit with pants and an official evening dress. Maybe I'll show them later.

A little artist who decided to explore more than just his own fictional fandom. I don't know if this is worth posting, considering English isn't my language, but maybe someone will enjoy it. I had a minor Garrus meltdown and decided to brush up on my fanfic writing skills. But then drawing got in the way, and I can't write until I've drawn a couple of scenes and character profiles. My Shepard She's not exactly standard (you can tell by her hair), so I'm preparing a big profile about her with a backstory, outfits, and a tattoo map. The art shows a small beach episode that will be written somewhere in the middle of the fanfic (spoiler: Shepard will be an exchange teacher in Palaven. Garrus will be her student and she will live in The Vakarian family home. But everything's fine, he sleeps in the barracks. I just want a little drama with Kastis).
