Raphael Sbarge was the reason I've started playing ME. I was so in love with Carth that I decided to try another game with the same voice actor, even if it was sci-fi which I wasn't a fan of at that time.
And, after Carth, Kaidan was underwhelming. He was not badass enough

. Too gentle. It came to the point when I was actually irritated by him.
And then I was playing ME2 for the umpteenth time, and I suddenly realize that I actually miss him. I want to see him in ME3 and know what BioWare has in store for the Shenko line. I've unexpectedly started liking Kaidan...
So, next in the series, Kaidan, having one of his L2-inflicted headache flares.
Also,
Kaidan: It's been a pleasure serving under you Commander.
Shepard: I don't think I've had the pleasure of you serving under me Kaidan...
Kaidan: I suppose I walked right into that one didn't I?
This is a fantastic picture of Kaidan, and your style is nice to stare at. I love that he's going through one of his headaches; there don't seem to be much of those or any with a Shepard helping him through one.
I'm glad you liked the picture. I also was surprised there was practically none of him suffering through his headache, so I decided to make one myself.
This art, though, is just fantastic! I love how you drew him. Kaidan and Joker were my two serious loves in the game (BioWare Y U NO LET ME ROMANCE THE PILOT?!)
They said something vague along the lines of "you have to play it to see it", but the wouldn't say something like that if there was nothing to it... Right? *hopeful*
Joker is so my favorite...
And, thank you! I'm glad you liked my Kaidan.
And since Joker is so your favorite (as he is mine) would you maybe be interested in an art trade? I had a fan of my fanfiction with Kaidan and one of my Sheps say she wished there was something she could see of Kailan to make it easier to picture her... and I could write you something about Joker and a Shep of your choice? Or anything else you'd prefer? If not, no worries
I'd sooner believe Legion will become a romantic option. He at least has a body...
And, yeah, sure, I'd be glad to draw your Shepard for you. Tell me what you want to see.
(I've started reading the prologue already and I love it. Going to start Chapter 1 now.)
