Description Hey, it's that plainclothes baby-fringed C-Sec officer who argued with the hanar! He just doesn't care what the something is anymore.

I realized while doing this that I've been painting a lot of melancholy or generically unhappy looking turians! Whoops! I think that's just because a quiet despair's a pretty easy emotion to convey. Next turian, I'm going to aim for happiness, or at least some other more active emotional state.

Turians are from Mass Effect belongs to Bioware.

After getting outsmarted by a hanar any turian would feel like life is not worth living :C

And the awesome collection of turian art grows!
He actually looks nice....when he's not yelling at people XD Your getting better and better! seriously, its crazy how well your making these ^_^ [btw i love the detail in his clothes and the citadel relay in the back!]

Unhappy turians you say? I havent noticed. I guess i just love your art so much I think happy thoughts "OH LOOKIE! ANOTHER TURIAN! 8D" lol. If you want to draw "happy" ones.....Techno turian? Or how about Li!

What missing calf buckles that were always there, always?

(seriously dude THANKS)

Also, no, his fringe isn't quite that short, but it's pretty short. I just don't draw short fringes often enough and had some fun with it.

They were missing?

Aww, you're welcome!

Ohhh, okay! I actually need to stop having fun with my writings and get back to work... 7^7"

Hardly know where to begin cause the amount of detail is mind blowing, skin texture of the character and the amount of work you put in the background....It's all there!

Great piece, instant fave

Have the next Turian do a happy dance

Sounds suspiciously like a request for the Techno Turian.

Hee!

Nope doesn't ahve to be the Techno Turian. Could be doing ballet, Irish dancing or just waving his hands like he just don't care

MoonEcho In reply to A-Redheads-Ramblings [2011-09-06 11:50:03 +0000 UTC]

Oh man... I just tried to picture a turian Irish dancing. You know that way Irish dancers kick their legs up and to the side? I bet a turian'd get all tangled in their own leg spurs doing that. Funniest mental image, thanks for that

Stunning as always!

The gun and his expression made me think he's had enough ... you know. :\

MoonEcho In reply to Skyward-Dreamer [2011-09-05 17:37:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

Yeah, he's just feeling a little burned out, a little bummed. I figure there's not much for him to do on the peaceful presidium and he's starting to wonder about his career. Don't worry about the gun, it's mostly for show.

Skyward-Dreamer In reply to MoonEcho [2011-09-05 19:52:59 +0000 UTC]

Argh! The title! Sorry, I really didn't catch that until now ...

Well that's certainly good to know, I'd hate to lose him, I always try to help him negotiate peacefully with that hanar, I mean jelly, lol.

By the way, I think I hijacked one of your arts some time ago, I was talking to someone, a lot, all the time assuming it was on one of my own pieces and didn't realize until after a week or so that it was one of yours. Sorry!

MoonEcho In reply to Skyward-Dreamer [2011-09-06 11:51:44 +0000 UTC]

Don't worry! The title refers to lots of stuff. The presidium, the gun, the turian, the relay monument...

I actually don't think you did that, haven't seen any random reply stacks like that I think? Anyway I'm not bothered, so cheers

I see, plenty of room there for free interpretation then?

Well that's good to hear, thank you. I'll make sure to check where I'm ranting in the future, I'd rather not waste someone else's space.

Wow, this is really good! Like, REALLY good.

He must be sad that C-Sec doesn't have much to do anymore with Shepard cavorting around solving everyone's daily problems while also saving the galaxy from numerous threats.

MoonEcho In reply to HalfDragonBronze [2011-09-05 17:34:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

Yeah... he seems to be one of the 'good' turians, concerned about everyone behaving in in a lawful and orderly fashion but... I think even a guy like that would get bored of patrolling the quiet old Presidium when everyone else is out having wacky adventures!
