Tali’Zorah Mass Effect vas Normandy’s in-game unmasked portrait (even the new revised one) is a letdown and an insult against me personally, so here’s my own re-imagining of this sweet alien girl with a heart of gold and an immune system of wet tissue paper.
(inspired by this fanart and certain pieces of concept art)
hell yeah thank you!! Hey gamers SMASH that like button if you believe in sick alien Tali supremacy
quarians are like onions… they have layers… and… sharp little teeth?
(a recent Tali sketch sampler)
I love the way you draw Tali!!!! AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
lol thank you!! I think Tali might want to yell sometimes too, here she is joining in
anyway also, Tali and Shepard are girlfriends and they love each other very much.
(also available in ✨NEW✨Renegade flavor!)
/blows off a cassette hand-labeled "headcanon Tali" and slams it into the tape deck
if the boy quarians at least get to have those cool bundles of cables coming out of the backs of their helmets, surely the girl quarians have something similar under the hoods they wear. The way I draw Tali and her people might be stubbornly different from canon in some ways, but I can believe it's not too far off.
Funnily enough I prefer YOUR Tali over bioshocks in ME3 I think? She actually properly looks like an alien from a planet where they didn't adapt an immune system
thank you! (and lol I'll assume you meant Bioware-- although a steampunk-aesthetic Tali is a very cool mental image.)
some things about how my Tali looks are definitely a result of living nearly her whole life sealed inside an exosuit and dealing with regular bouts of minor illness (at one point she mentions working while having a fever like it's something quarians just deal with). Pre-exile quarians, and post-canon quarians who have had some time to get re-acclimated to their home planet's ecosystem, would look a bit different. I did a couple lil sketches to hypothesize about some differences between my Tali during the games' timeline, and a post-canon Tali who's spent a few years on Rannoch:
there's no place like home.
(the spots of pigment on her face are made more colorful, and even softly bioluminescent, by harmless symbiotic bacteria found only on Rannoch. After the quarians fled into space after the Geth War, the bacteria died out in a generation; for over two hundred years, the only quarians with colorful faces were ancestors in old vids and pictures.)
“But, right now… I have this.”
Tali and Shepard catch the sunset on Rannoch. 🌅
recent asks 'n' vibes got me in the mood to toss some loose shading and colors onto a few old Tali sketches. The top drawing is an old framed picture (uh, I mean... framed... hologram) that Rael'Zorah has on his work desk where he does dangerous taboo science.
Can I have an OC fact? As a treat? Pick one you wanna talk about most right now and... fun lil trivia? I love your characters so much and can't pick a favorite to request
Aw thank you! (Also lol thank you to everyone who did ask me about my OCs, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to answer your asks!)
Since I just drew them again yesterday in that lil comic, I'll share another fun trivia about Kesh'Vataar nar Zakah, my nonbinary quarian OC. This is what they look like under their helmet!
my quarians have very subtle facial features, but I still don't want to let that make me slip into drawing them all with the same face. I wanted Kesh to look "cooler" than how I draw Tali, so they have narrower eyes and a more oval face with prominent cheekbones-- but also a cute spray of “freckles” across their nose.
also, I think I mentioned this a long time ago, but their outfit is a mix of elements from male and female quarian outfits in-game. I feel like even though we only saw binary-presenting quarians in the series, there's no reason why there can't be other quarian genders. Kesh isn't unusual among their people-- at least, not for their gender identity. The having-a-crush-on-a-volus thing is definitely unusual.
This isn’t really a question but I can’t find the right button, I just really wanted to tell you that I’m going NUTS over your Tali redesign!!! She’s so!! Squishy!!!!! Your artstyle is supremely soft and I am in love with it!!!
aw thank you so much!! I'm so glad you like my interpretation of her. We stan an alien babe with no immune system and no eyebrows.
I adore your Tali design and I wanna give her headpats. I'm curious though, does she by any chance have sharp teeth?
thank you-- and yes, she does!
there's no speculative biology reason behind it, I just thought sharp little teeth would look cute.
Entoma is one of my favorite Overlord characters, I don't care if she's an insect wearing a mask, I just enjoyed her time on screen.. I liked pretty much everyone in Overlord. I even fell in love with Nigredo, I actually liked her more than Albedo.. However Shalltear is still top tier for me.
