Description
I'm going to have to admit that I'm not as proud of Tali as I was with Wrex, but I think that stems largely from the fact that Wrex and Garrus had all this great texture and depth to their designs that got me excited to jump in and explore. Tali's sort of an enigma considering we never see her out of her suit and don't even really know what color or texture her skin is. Many of you may be disappointed that I didn't take a bigger risk in y design for her. Give me moment to let me explain my rationale.I took inspiration from the concept work of Tali from ME1, and the general case for female aliens across the Mass Effect board. First we note that Tali has boobs. She is therefore a mammal of some kind... much like the Asari appear to be mammals of some kind. We learn delving around ME2 (and codex diving) that they reproduce and etc the same way humans do. In the concept art they look vaguely human and despite the danger of illness, seem to fit the design for human attractiveness. So what do I figure? They're three-fingered glowy-eyed humans with a faulty immune system. If they ever show us what they look like, I predict that's what it'll be.
I made her skin darker because I Get the feeling through the helmet that it is. There is also a pale version that I uploaded to scraps. [link]
So working from that perspective I bring you Tali. I've got her out of uniform except her breathing aparatus and a pair of jeans. The helmet remains for 2 reasons: 1, if she were actually taking pictures she would need the protection and 2, without it I wouldn't be able to achieve a Tali likeness. The helmet IS her face, and this series is not the time or place for me to explore my concepts of helmetless quarians. She's for the fans, she's supposed to be instantly recognizable. It's bad enough I took her cowl off.... I threw it in a bit with the belt though.

Love it - its both sexy, and cute. And kudos for not forgetting her hips! And nice work on the helmet.
I love the pose, its perfect for her - only thing I'd say is the shadows get a little muddy.
But still, great work!

I think their skin would be paler because of a lack of exposure to light, and call me crazy but if they do reveal what quarians look like, I would prefer them to look less human, only cause I think it's sweeter that the romance would develop not based on outward appearence (although dat ass is a nice bonus).
After all, they do share the same DNA structure as turians and they kind of have the same body shape. I don't know.
Regardless of all that, nice art! Sometimes I feel bad for thinking how cute tali is when she's being shy...

Being dextro doesn't influence the shape, both humans and Krogan have the same DNA rotation, but that doesn't matter.... when it comes down to brass tacks I guess I wouldn't mind never finding out what they look like. The imagination is a lot more fun than actually seeing it in person.

Which is why I always said Bioware should never have shown Tali's face, we enjoyed and loved her for being mysterious and adorable, unfortunately they did, which is a shame but since I don't like their so called 'official' version I'm simply going to disregard it and imagine my own.

She looks so shy and downright adorable here. I think it is good that you drew her with her helmet still on. Given how important it is for her survival. Nice touch with her belt. And I agree with your opinion about her helmet being her face... as much as I want them to show her face in ME2, part of me hopes it will forever be an enigma and a mystery for us all.

Tali is hott, 'nuff said. I was originally going to romance Jack the crazy one, but then I found out you could romance Tali, and the only reason my Shepherd left the engine room was to complete missions to open up more dialogue with Tali.

I still imagine some texture to their skin, even if they share some traits with mammals they're also dexro-amino based and the only others of those we know are turians. Grunt also says Quarians aren't as squishy as humans and asari.
But un-knowable lore aside it's a very nice picture and the pose is very cute.

jameson9101322 In reply to Adre-es [2011-01-22 20:37:49 +0000 UTC]
The dextro thing is more of a correlation. Turians are covered in metal plates because of their environments and metallic deposits in their blood and Grunt... hah, what does Grunt know? ^^
Honestly though, there's room for any and all opinions on quarians, I'm really hoping they never show us what they look like to maintain some of the mystery; especially since they lost their chance in ME2. Technically we should have been the ones in hazard suits on the Flotilla if they stuck with the canon they set up in ME1. Retcons abound!

Yes, I like this. I agree with the others, the darker color is much better for her. I see it as a very beautiful color.
Or maybe I just have a crush on Tali. Who knows.
