KatherineShep: a sideblog
A long time ago I came to Tumblr to observe things of beauty - the diversity of human creative thought always excited me, inspired me to move forward in my own creativity and made me love this Universe for accumulating so many people who have beautiful souls.
Then I was gone for a long time and this year, in 2017, I came back. This year I finally believed in myself enough to start drawing and cosplaying, and even got enough bravery to show my progress on public. I started to contribute to my currently main fandom with my works, because - why the hell not? So if you’re seeing my drawing, cosplay or writing work - you’re seeing a work of a person who finally runs to her dreams after very dark 8 years behind her.
Creation of something always made my soul tingle and glow, and it feels like my life wouldn’t be full if I didn’t bring something into this world. I guess every artist, writer or cosplayer can feel it inside his/her heart: you feel the irresistible urge to share your thoughts or ideas, to give them freedom, to create energy and hope that they will bring someone esthetic joy or even inspire for passing this energy further.
So, I’m starting a sideblog for reblogs for your and mine inspiration ;-)
In this blog you’ll see:
- Mass Effect (main tag: #kd masseffect) - for everything Mass Effect-related;
- Shakarian (main tag: #kd shakarian) - for reblogs with my maybe most beautiful ship, Commander Shepard/Garrus Vakarian
- Doctor Who (main tag: #kd doctorwho)
- Other things that excited me when I saw them (main tag: #kd other)
- My own drawings and cosplay (tags: #katherineshepart #katherineshepcosplay). This will be a crossposting of my works from main blog.
The main blog, http://katherineshep.tumblr.com, will contain:
- Cosplay notes, WIPs, photos and other stuff (tag #katherineshepcosplay)
- My drawings - how I’m learning to draw, contributing to the fandoms on my way, because there is no better inspiring force than the love to the thing that makes you want to spread your excitement (tag #katherineshepart)
- Mass Effect-related comments (tag #katshep talks), headcanons and drawings (so there might well be reblogs, but the ones I’d like to, well, talk about)))
- Doctor Who-related stuff (#doctor who) on which I have comments, headcanons and other talk on the topic
- Some irl blabbing
- Maybe other impressions, thoughts, etc.
- My writing maybe - I haven’t been working on my projects for a while but I have plans for them, I just have luck of writer’s inspiration now.
And, to all my old guests and newcomers - feel free to send asks, comments or PMs if you want to discuss something - I’m always glad to meet new people and discussing fandom stuff is one of my most favourite activities at all XD
Holy shit, HOLY SHIET
I tried drawing on a tablet and first it was like "Oh my I KNOW I CAN DRAW AND I CAN DEFINITELY DO CIRCLES ON PAPER, then why can't I draw a single one here, it's humiliating"... and the next thing I remember is me INTERNALLY SCREAMING 1.5 hrs later of how cool it is to befriend your hands and eyes through the scale conversion! Like - THIS IS SO COOL!!!
So, here's the photo of my first attempt of doing at least something (upper thing) and under it is the eye after 1.5 hrs (drawing the iris is AWESOME!!! So meditative!). I admit, the shape is awful (it was drawn in the beginning when I was still figuring it all out, and I've never drawn an eye in a close-up), and in the end I tried to fix it, but my brain got tired at that and I had to put it all aside. I also forgot that lineart must be on a separate layer, lol 😂 Will have to erase all the excess lines))
But for the very first attempt in digital - I think I did great. I sincerely did not expect to get at least something in days, because I held a tablet pen like couple times in life and after few minutes I thought I was hopeless every time. But definitely not today. I DID IT, I MANAGED TO DRAW SOMETHING ON TABLET, OH MY GOOOD!
Now this eye haunts me 😂 I have to finish it, my brain got tired and I really have other things to do, but I want to finish it SO BADLY! 😂
Also I really wonder how to make an effect of wetness - because it's the eye, it has liquid and it makes the eye apple gleam... Heh. I never though digital drawing would make me that much excited)))
P.S.: the proof that I CAN draw by the tag "katherineshepart"))
Shakarian smut time :D Sorry not sorry :D
She always excited him as a Commander, a leader, and as a person. But now, when he finally touches her hand without a glove, Garrus is amazed how soft her skin actually feels. With this touch her hands seem much more tender than he imagined, with her skin whitening on knuckles when it is being tensed there and almost transparent in some places so the blue threads of veins are showing. And the soft curves of muscles on Shepard's upper arms, half-hidden under her uniform, add to the overall impression. Garrus has seen how easily she can smash things on the battlefield either with her biotics or in hand-to-hand combat she sometimes hotheadedly dives in, he saw Shepard headbutting a Krogan and missed her fighting with a Yahg who was two times higher than she is and thrice heavier. How come her astonishing power is hidden in such a tender body?
She is a miracle - as a person, as a Commander, as a woman; Garrus feasts his eyes on her, not quite believing it's actually happening.
"If it's a dream, - he thinks, - may it never end", - and in a moment he feels other Shepard's hand touches the side of his neck in a gentle stroke - a very soft, comforting touch, not implying but suggesting. And then he misses the moment before Shepard is almost merged in the front side of his cowl, encircling his neck with his hands, and her lips are gently pressed to his mouth plates.
"The keeper". A WIP that was waiting for me get back to it for about a month. I had to redraw sketch to a new piece of paper, because unreferenced sketching process is always hard to me and I ruin paper with looots of erasing. Probably I'll spoil this drawing with coloring, but still - I want to give it final look and only a colouring practice will take me to my goal, at least partly. If I'm afraid to try new things, if fear of failure stops me - I won't be able to progress, so I have to boldly go forward)
@renegadeass has dared me to do a couples meme prompt (which I won’t be able to find in my Tumblr because of massive reposting, lol). #4, Reunion kiss. ME3, referring to that first scene in Main Battery. I wanted to do some background there, but I’m not in work-hard-mood in last 1.5 weeks due to some health issues, so… maybe I’ll make some fixes or redrawing later. It’s fine for now.
