Staring Contest

Description

More late night Mass Effect fan art!

Why is it that all of my drawings featuring Javik are silly? At least he's in character this time.
Either way... Javik mentions how the Protheans passed time between battles by having staring contests. So I thought it'd be funny if Shepard decided to challenge him. Can one pair of eyes beat two? I think Commander Shepard's sheer bad-assery and willpower will keep her on par with Javik's cold demeanor.

Though in my head, their contest gets interrupted when somebody wants Shepard on the vid comm. She backs away from the mess hall while keeping a steady stare fixed on Javik until he's safely out of sight. In the elevator she'd crack up at the fact that she just spent nearly half an hour staring into the eyes of the grumpy alien.

Words alone cannot describe how much I love Javik's design. The detail, colors, shapes, everything! Screw Liara, Javik's the prettiest alien on the Normandy! I mean, He's so alien, yet easy on the eyes.
I love how my previous romanticized vision of the Protheans got completely shattered into a million pieces by him. The last Prothean is a huge prick. It's brilliant! The people who designed him should get all kinds of medals. The only bad things about Javik is that he's DLC, and that he's not an LI.

Background sucks because I suck. Might change it if I get a sudden stroke of genius.
Photoshop + Wacom tablet. Screenshots used for reference. Made it in one sitting (a few hours, didn't keep track).

Edit: Wasn't planning on painting default FemShep at first, never used her and never planned to. She just kind of ended up that way in the sketching stage, so I decided to roll with it.

UPDATE: Re-painted Shepard's face so she looks less like a potato and more like a person.
