Perfection. 🥰
One of my favorite ME2 scenes, taking Grunt to visit Wrex. Also first time drawing a Krogan, anatomy way off. 🤣

First attempt at drawing a Krogan, going to fix it up a little before lining it up in photoshop, want to post anyway because I think it looks ok. 🤣 All my stuff is hand drawn then uploaded and lined using photoshop. 😊
My Shepard’s reconstruction in ME2 didn’t fully go 100% leaving him with black eyes, Miranda is there letting him getting his freaking out moment over and done with before by giving him a mirror before leaving the facility.

Always give that Paragon option and if not fall back on the point and shoot. 😉

I like to think my geeky/awkward Shepard its pretty much paragon 😇 but you mess with his friends (his crush) you get angry/renegade Shepard instead. 🖤😡

More about Aico: https://pinksilverocean.tumblr.com/post/655734770983206912/oc-mass-effect-aico-aico-is-an-info-drone-like 🖤

Setting: After mission to recruit Grunt on Normandy.
OC Characters: Pax Shepard, Aico.
Non-OC Characters: Kelly, Mordin.

“You don’t have to come with me.” Shepard said turning to Aico following him into the elevator.
“Nonsense.” Aico spun around almost as though excited. “I love it when you visit your crew.”
Shepherd watched the door close and pressed for Deck 2.
“Are you going to go see that tank Krogan at all?” Aico asked curiously as Shepard nodded.
“Of course after I check in with the others.”
“You mean check in with the Professor?” Aico hummed.
“Yeah, he was too busy last time.” Shepard crossed his arms and turned to Aico. “That’s why.”
The elevator door opened to the Command Centre where Kelly turned with a smile. Shepard never recalled ever seeing her without one, he could not even imagine her in not a happy mood.
“Hi Shepard!” She said with a smile. “Off to see Mordin again?” Shepard turned to eye Aico suspiciously who looked away.
“Yes…”
“Oh nice.” Kelly said happily before turning back around, Shepard eyed Aico.
“Who have you been spreading rumours to now? I have told you not to annoy the crew.”
“Lies! I don’t annoy anyone, and Kelly is always happy to chat.” Shepard did not seem convinced but decided it best not to argue especially with Aico.
Shepard walked into the Tech Lab and saw Mordin, but he appeared as always busy typing away and fully invested on what was before him. Deciding instead that it was best to let him work Shepard turned to leave.
“Shepard, good to see you!” Mordin said as Shepard stopped and quickly turned fully back around.
“Hi Mordin, oh good to see me to, I mean good to see you as well.” Shepard cringed, he wished he could turn invisible right then and there but unfortunately, he could not. “I don’t want to disturb you I can come back later.” He heard Aico seem to groan behind him.
“No actually something to discuss. Your visits, frequency is quite high.” Mordin said looking away from his screen and motioning Shepard over to a nearby chair. “The reason I now know.”
“You do?” Shepard felt like turning around and walking away he wasn’t ready for this conversation yet...no do not be silly you are a grown adult, you’re Commander Shepard! He walked forward towards the chair with Aico spinning around happily before sitting down nervously.
“About time.” Aico said in a low voice in Shepard's ear.
“Be quiet Aico.” Shepard said under his breath watching Mordin looking for something on the desk.
“Yes, high frequency of visits to my Tech Lab, was curious as to why. Now I believe I know…” Shepard watched nervously as Mordin found a small looking flashlight much to Shepard confusion. “Your eyes, damage due to reconstruction want them fixed, but to worried to ask me, to embarrassed, yes? No need to be Shepard.” Mordin smiled and walked over to Shepard.
“My eyes…oh yes…yes, you’re right!” Shepard said with a sigh of relief as Mordin nodded. During his reconstruction as it were everything went perfect except for one small, little issue that resulted in his eyes turning almost completely black.
“Miranda said other than appearance and poor sight when it’s dark it’s really only aesthetic in nature.” Shepard noted thinking back to his original surprise when looking into the mirror for the first time back on Lazarus. Miranda had, had a more medial explanation as to exactly why it happened but it was unfortunately way over Shepard’s head, he was an Engineer not a medical doctor! “Dr Chakwa’s said there’s really nothing that can be done and I’m alright with that.” Shepard shrugged, with all the latest tech in his helmet and the visors he wore on the field his poor vision in dark areas was of no real concern.
“Well, I’m going to go elsewhere, I’ve heard enough of this from Chakwa’s and Miranda.” Aico said in defeat as Shepard turned to watch her disappear through the wall obviously to find someone else to bother for a while.
Mordin walked over to Shepard, “Let me have a look here.” He put one hand on Shepard’s head to hold it steady and flicked the light on to look into Shepard eyes. Shepard felt himself blush and looked away and not just because the light was quite literally blinding. “No look here.” Mordin said holding Shepard steady as he looked back into the blinding light for a moment before Mordin switch it off and walked back to his computer.
Whilst Shepard’s eyesight was readjusting, he could hear Mordin speaking but had no idea what he was saying, it all sounded very medical-esque.
“Leave it with me, when free time not looking at collectors, will see what I can do. New challenge good for downtime.” Mordin said looking over at Shepard who stood up.
“Oh, really no rush. I’m not overly concerned, anymore.” Shepard said with a smile remembering that he had already had his freak out moment back on Lazarus with Miranda. “Anyway, I should go, got a tank bred Krogan to go see.”
“Ah yes Okeer tank bred, advise caution if you plan to release.” There was a pause. “Have time, can come with.” Shepard looked up surprised.
“Oh, thank you but I’ll be ok, you finish your work I don’t want to disturb you anymore.” He laughed nervously as much as he had wanted to say yes he knew it was he who had to deal with the Krogan, that wasn’t on anyone else on this crew.
“Not disturbing no, enjoy our chats. Come back any time.” With that Mordin turned and looked back down at his screen and began typing away.
Walking out the Tech Lab with a small sheepish smile the door closed behind and Shepard looked straight at Aico buzzing excitedly in front of him appearing out of nowhere.
“I thought you’d left.” Shepard said crossing his arms.
“Shepard a joke” Aico paused. “What do you get when you put the galaxies most awkward Human and the galaxies most oblivious Salarian together in the same room?” Aico asked as Shepard shook his head and walked past her, he had a Krogan to meet. “Think about it Pax!” Aico called out before pausing then quickly following.
OC Mass Effect - Aico
Aico is an info drone like Glyph from Mass Effect 3, however is a model created by Shepard (whose an Engineer) and has a prominent green glow.
Originally created by Shepard as a VI to assist in combat when he first joined the Alliance, the VI soon began to evolve the more and more Shepard modified the VI code and programming. Eventually Shepard stopped resetting the programming when updating to default and built upon its VI code, allowing it to adapt, learn and grow a personality of its own.
By the start of Mass Effect One, Aico is a fully fledged AI, Shepard and his crews best (worst) kept secret.
It has a single control base (think USB) that is either embedded in the Normandy via Shepherds personal laptop device or into his omni tool when leaving the Normandy. When in the Normandy Aico has free reign over the ship and can go anywhere she chooses much to Shepard and EDI’s annoyance. When out in battle it can only go so far before loosing connection and so will remain close to Shepard when out.
Shepard has the original VI program but if something happened to Aico’s control base it almost “factory reset” to back when it was a simple VI and not an evolved AI.
Personality wise Aico likes to follow around Shepard and if not with him is often found speaking with others on the Normandy. Aico likes Kelly (ME2) and Traynor (ME3) most of all as they both enjoy speaking with her. EDI finds Aico an annoyance but puts up with her if she stays out of her systems. Aico likes to get involved in everyone's business and enjoys playing match maker with Shepard and anyone who shows any interest in each other in the Normandy crew. Aico can not keep a secret and seems to have informed everyone on board the Normandy in ME2 Shepard’s major crush on Mordin much to her own amusement.
Aico knows multiple languages but often speaks English in a female voice and by the start of ME3 it prefers to be referred to as she rather than it.
Not perfect but I kinda like how Mordin came out (first time doing a Salarian).
My Shep hates bugs, this Horizon was an absolute nightmare. 😂
Mass Effect GIFS
I’ve seen some people uploading real high quality Mass Effect GIF’s here anyone able to share what program you’re using for these? 😇
My Thanks! 🤍🖤💜
First time ever drawing a Turian/Garrus so he doesn’t look great lol. After getting Mordin my Shep went straight for Garrus, got my two main companions now. 😁
Zaeed because other than Miranda and Jacob he’s my first companion, now that I have Mordin I probably won’t use him anymore (sorry not sorry) besides I don’t think he liked my Shepard's go with the flow, fumbling through everything attitude.
My new Shepard OC Pax redraw. White hair looks so dark in cutscenes! Black eyes due to reconstruction complications. My Shep figuring out for the first time he’s having a major crush on Mordin.
I like my Shep’s to usually be real cool bad asses but my new one is a totally awkward nerd (Engineer) who happens who was thrown into all of this by being in the wrong place and the wrong time (Eden Prime).

Shepard and his VI Partner AICO, modelled on Glyph from ME3 but in a green colour. AICO created by my engineer Shepard, follows him around insistently and assists during battles, has a habit of repeating information.
My OC Commander Shepard as of ME2
🖤🤍💜
Name: Paxton “Pax” Shepard
Age (ME2): 29
Alignment: Paragade leaning more towards paragon.
Sexuality: Demisexual
Class: Engineer.
Born: Australia/Earth
Hair Colour: White (Originally black, lost all colour after reconstruction).
Eye Colour: Black/Dark grey. Due to complications during reconstruction Shepard’s eye colour was affected making his eyes completely black. Has no effect on eye sight in regular light however visibility in darkness reduced.
General Personality: Geek, loves engineering and science. Is not afraid to make tough choices and doens’t like to messed around (Renegade), has a soft spot though for helping those who really need assistance and can get caught up in little issues in helping others rather than the big mission (Paragon). 100% loyal to crew, will do anything to help them. Completely awkward when it comes to flirting and often if being flirted with will not notice till afterwards.
ME1: Romanced no one but may have had a little crush on Kaiden. Saved Kaiden. Let the Rachni Queen live. Did not kill Wrex. Saved the Council.
ME2: May or may not have a minor crush on Mordin.
Happy pride! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
