Commander Shepard by mintpencil on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Oh yeah... Defintely shouldn't test this woman's patience! Love the expression. Renegade red, per chance?! Nice shading. Nice selective choice of colours to add, leaving the skin grayscale instead of coloured. It works better than if it were coloured lifelike I think.

I admin a Facebook page called 'Mass Effect Female Shepard' - www.facebook.com/FemShep/ - and today I'm using my Deviant Art acount to search for fanart and such related to FemShep (and Miranda, because I also have a Mass Effect Miranda Lawson fanpage, too). I like to try to collect loads of permissions from artists. That way I have a list of permissions to chose from, and I try to work through them (sometimes takes me a few months) before I go ask for more permissions.

I always note the name of the artist, and provide a link back to their original. Plus if they want me to include e.g. a patreon link or link to some other platform where they post their work, I will add that too. Sometimes I write short stories if a piece inspires me... Sometimes it's just a posting with links/note of artist.

In any case, you might not even like your work being posted to Facebook anyway, but if it turns out that you would like me to post this piece to my page, let me know.

[You might want to check out my FB page first though before you decide. I run it pretty strict, aaaaand people don't always like my principles (which is fine, I just want to give you a heads up!). I know artists are sometimes a bit more mercenary: coverage and publicity is coverage and publicity, but if e.g. you hated the way I ran my page, I think you'd have every right not to want me to post your works there.]

If I've ever contacted you before, sorry for the repeat: I've probably contacted about 300 artists or more on here by now, so I forget who's who sometimes!
