The thing about Garrus Vakarian that makes him such a 10 is that he came out of fucking nowhere.
In the first game I felt mid about him, even a little low-key concerned because he had some alarming ideals and I just had people closer to me who did the job better. Wasn't too sad to see him go.
And then there was the whole harrowing fiasco that was ME2 where he just fucking ajzbeinrbfusjanwb... And his reveal was such a roller coaster, such a colossal relief and horror and relief again. And the ride or die thing, because if you thought I was letting the emotional support vigilante out of my sight after that, think again.
I think I was like 10 hours from the end of ME3 (and WAY too far up another romance route), when the realization knocked me flat on my ass.
I love Garrus Vakarian.
Wtf am I doing with [xyz]?!?!
Holy shit, I LOVE him.
Embarrassing, honestly. He's pixels. I'd had game feelings before but... like via the main character, not like... hit me with a sack of bricks, stop dead in my tracks on a random Tuesday, moment of complete clarity type feelings. The Garrus thing really does sneak up on you though, lmao. Full arc. 10/10. Such damn good writing. Love that little turian forever.

100 days of art, 67/100.
Why does my favorite character in this franchise have to be so goddamn hard to draw.
Anyway, doodle because I tried and failed to get my ME1 playthrough done today and didn't have much time.

She's not afraid. There is no fear in this place; death seems like a very far away dream, the nightmare of organic life form, and while Shepard is many things now, that sort of ephemeral spark is not one of them. Like two opposing comets in the night, they race toward each other, and at the point of their meeting, there's an explosion of light and color and flaring particles Shepard has no name for. From Astronomy in Reverse by Calypsid on Ao3
I painted this for Calypsid and her amazing, poetic Mass Effect fic Astronomy in Reverse. Watercolour, white acrylic, white posca maker on paper; 21x29.7 cm

Sometimes a man has to do a screenshot redraw sketch to remember how to draw turians.
Yes, this was based on a screencap of Garrus (I take a normal amount of them shhh). Yes, I stole his visor (again, shhh). Planning to use this lil headtilt pose for someone else, though because I like how the sketch came out.
I may be making. A lot. Of character ref sheets in the near future.

Something I love to read but never really explore satisfactorily in my own work is the idea of deception in monster romance. Being tricked or lured into loving something monstrous, a monster believing it can't be loved as its true self, so it must resort to disguise and trickery. A human realising very slowly, only after they have committed themselves to the romance that something isn't right, that niggling sense that they should flee being constant but also constantly overwritten by their own desire and affection. A monster that is dishonest, manipulative, desperate to be cherished so it will resort to any means necessary. A human that wants to resist the entrapment but on some primal, instinctive level, yearns to be trapped.

True Blue (Shakarian childhood friends AU) - Ch 7

It was strange working for Shepard: it felt like not long ago, they’d been kids traipsing around the Citadel and now here they were, fighting together. She’d always bossed him around when they were little, so it was only slightly odd to have that dynamic formalized.
“Focus your fire on the colossus!”
Garrus tapped his comms device. “The what?”
Shepard screamed down the radio, “THE BIG ONE!”
“I don’t see any –"
And, right then, a giant four-legged geth lumbered into view.
It certainly made a change from red tape.
