So here is another of my Mass Effect fan art - a head portrait of Zaeed Massani :)  Like the other pieces, I drew this with pencils and later coloured it in Photoshop.  Some 'work in progress' photos below:  click to view larger image There's not a whole lot to say about this one.  It did take me ages to find time to actually colour it though (I drew this last summer!).  I  really wanted to include Zaeed's armour.  In the end though, I decided to leave it out completely and just focus on his face.  I also didn't want to obscure his Blue Suns tattoo, which is an important part of his story. click to view larger image The drawing itself was intended as a lighting study.  Originally I wanted this portrait to be much darker, with just a beam of light from above illuminating the side of his face and scar.  But with heavier shadows, a lot of the facial features and form were lost. So I scrapped that idea and lightened everythi...

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Back in 2012, I made a deviantART account but never actually got around to using it.  Well, I've finally posted some stuff:  a certain moogle, and two Jack (Mass Effect) fan art! click to view larger image click to view larger image I've had fun interacting with other artists and fellow Mass Effect fans on dA this past week.  Soon I'll be posting a Disanthus collaboration and a few more Mass Effect pieces as well (not Jack *gasp*).  If you're on deviantART, please drop by and say hi! :) Link: http://tinkarooni.deviantart.com/ Posted by Annette | Follow me on Twitter

Initially, I had a few different ideas for the artwork.   After chatting with my bestie, Jayde, I decided to do a portrait of Jack holding a birthday cupcake.   I like Jack's new look in  Mass Effect 3 but wanted her in casual clothes, like she's just chilling out, hence the t-shirt (with Hex on it, but more about that later). Sketching it out Like all things, I started with a rough sketch.   I like to draw the eyes first because I feel that i...
