Kaidan was in the War Room with Garrus studying the schematics the Escena had engineered for the personal shields when his Omni-tool started beeping. It wasn’t the normal comm notification or a typical alert; for a moment he wasn’t sure what it could be – then he remember

Companion art piece to "If It Meant Living: Beyond - Ch. 5: "Down the Rabbit Hole": [link]

What in the world is Ashley doing on a beach? Well, you have to read "Beyond" Chapter 5 to find out...or, you could just be pleased with Ashley on a beach in a lovely dress and leave it at that ;).

Beach background is by Sed-rah-Stock: [link]. Body is from a stock image.

I'm fine with Ashley on a beach in a lovely dress :love:, but probably it doesn't hurt checking out your Chapter 5... :) Besides, you've managed to make me curious about it! ;)

Hehe, I always welcome new readers :D. I can't guarantee every bit of it will make sense, seeing as you haven't read all that came before, but...well, that wouldn't stop me... ;)

This is really great, I love seeing the ME crew out of their uniforms. That has a different meaning for the men of ME ;) The one thing that kind of pulls me out of the picture though is the two puffs of foam in the bottom right. The long shadows coming off them makes it feel really close bringing me out of the seamlessness of the left side of the picture. Still a great job, I'm thinking beach party for the whole crew :eager: ooo with a reaper in the background!! You can ignore me now :)

No, thanks for the constructive criticism. I don't have a lot of experience with true photomanipulation; the body came from a different picture than the background, and trying to place her spatially and size her correctly so that it appeared she was truly standing on that beach was actually quite a challenge. It's definitely a learned skill. But I'm very glad you like it :).

And I think you meant a dead Reaper ;)
