Description Dragon effect/ Modin and Tali Deep Roads Explorers

Shepard would run into these two while they’re on an expedition in the deep roads (as to what they’re searching for/studying I’m not exactly sure but you can be sure it’s important work).

Mordin- he carries ancient deep roads maps with him to help navigate the expansive undrground tunnels and wields a variety of potent explosive mixtures to ward off darkspawn hordes.

Tali- Tali would be sort of an expert on Darkspawn behavior patterns/fighting abilities and therefore is accompanying Mordin on his mission and does most of the close range fighting with her dual-hooked swords. Also I've never really been crazy about Tali like some people, even found her a little annoying at times but I gotta say I had more fun painting her than any other character so far.

Next up will be either Liara and Javik or Liara and Samara since I’m envisioning asari as being involved with the chantry but not so much for Javik.

EDIT: Also I've seen a few people cirticizing me for not making Tali ranged, I definitely toyed with the idea but since I just did Garrus and Thane as a crossbow/archer I wanted to switch it up and I'm quite happy with the idea of seeing her dual wield swords in combat, but hey this is all just for fun anyway so don't take it so seriously. The aspect of Tali that I did try to carry over which is not evident in her design is that she'd be an expert on darkspawn, like how in ME she knows a lot about the geth.

Mordin is done perfectly in this universe swap. Tali, on the other hand is designed very cooll. I think the whole design works quite well. It just isn't what I'd imagined her to look like in this version. Maybe something mechanical , to complement her science knowledge. The artistry and execution is still excellent. Kudos!

FoxySoulSista In reply to ??? [2012-10-03 19:22:50 +0000 UTC]

personally, i think that Samara and Morinth should go together, and liara and Javik together.

Maybe Javik could be somehow related to an an ancient order of templars, which Liara has been researching. As for Morinth and Samara, maybe Samara could be devout mage, who conformes perfectly to the chantry, to which point the Chantry even utilizes her magic abilities in the hunt for apostates (of course Morinth would be an apostate who seeks to destroy the chantry and all it represents)

those are just some ideas tho... Awesome job, as always!

Javik could totally be a Templar and Liara as a Chantry priestess....then Samara could be the Chantry mother....

I love your work, it's absolutely incredible

But I wonder if you could do villains like Saren and Benezia as a pair of Qunari priest/warriors/commanders or TIM as a apostate/blood mage

Liara and Javik please for the next two, they go well together.

I quite like the idea of making Javik have something to do with the Tevinter Imperium, maybe even a design similar to a magister or corypheus etc.

Incredible as always! I love that you made them Deep Road Explorers, and how they're designed to fight well in the tunnels. I'm also fascinated by Tali's shoes! Very clever design!

I'm kind of hoping you'll choose to do Samara next. Too bad you won't be making Ash and femShep though, because I have a strong feeling that your design would have been better than how they both turnee out in the third game.

That Tali is brilliantly executed. Good way to not just deal with, but use the parts of her design that would make the translation hard.
