That's by the same guy who made the Nintendo dime novel covers which are also cool fanart. They've been posted here before but are worth reposting.

The worst part is the rest of their outfits a for the most part perfectly sensible military jackets, its like the entire cast just collectively forgot pants and skirts exist. Which is somehow worse and dumber then if they more upfront and just had the entire outfit be fan service.

No you see if they wore pants it would get in the way of their airplane legs (and skirts would assumedly introduce unwanted drag). Like you can't interface with airplane legs through clothing.

That's why the one older lady gets to wear trousers. She's retired from having airplane legs.

Bioware designed that species purely for people too gently caress an alien. They are serious writers making serious stories.

Then they were surprised to find that everybody actually wanted to gently caress the scaly monster with a face like a cricket and the chick in the gasmask with the bird feet.

As I recall, Bioware wanted something with a pulpy sci-fi flavour, so of course they needed a race of space babes, resulting in the Asari. However, between Tali being anyone a player can imagine beneath the mask, and Brandon Keener sounding smooth as gently caress thanks to both his natural voice and the Turian sound filter being two great tastes that taste great together, they became love interests in the next game. Hell, I heard from somewhere that Garrus had the second most lines in ME3 thanks to his popularity among both male and female fans, which is a lot of work for a character who might have not survived to see that game.

EDIT: Might as well post some fanart.






(might be :nws:, I guess?)

I can understand Garrus being your space bro but I'm just surprised so many people wanted to romance the bird cricket

Were there any characters you couldn't gently caress by ME2?... The pilot, because he was too busy loving the spaceship, anyone else?

You originally couldn't sleep with Vega, the guy who constantly flirts with you but then shuts down when you actually call him on it, but then they added DLC where you can drunkenly hook up for one night, call it a mistake, and then agree to pretend it didn't happen.

You could never gently caress Wrex and it is the greatest failure of the Mass Effect series.

Yet apparently nylons are perfectly fine. Did we forget to mention how they randomly grow cat/fox/bunny ears and tails when using magic, because we didn't have enough fetishes.


Probably the best tank combat anime in existence, and I'm not sure if that's funny, or just sad.

Why not both? I think it's obvious that the dudes in charge wanted to make something where they can just sperg on about tanks, but the powers that be wanted moe girls so that it could sell. Hell, apparently so did the animators- I remember the show having to air its last few episodes months later than planned because some idiot animator slipped in a panty shot or something, and it took that long to take it out and reschedule.

I love this, but I'm trying to come up with some connection between all this characters and I've got nothing.

There's a lot of arcade game characters, but also a bunch from games that I'm pretty sure have never been in arcades.

I guess it could just be characters from old games? But Midna messes that up Twilight Princess may be 9 years old, but that's still far newer than everything else there.
