Revised Eggs for Mother’s Day
Carmelita knocked on the door with her knuckles, her bags at her feet and her heart heavy.
Have 2k about Vega’s eggs
Carmelita knocked on the door with her knuckles, her bags at her feet and her heart heavy. The door swung open, a woman standing there with wild eyes and the sound of children screaming in the background. “Mi corazon,” Carmelita said warmly, her arms open; and Marisol fell, shaking, into her embrace.
I can finally post my Mass Effect 3 piece of Tali which I did for Bioware back in November! I had a limited color palette and it was fun building up this piece with so much texture and mark making. There is a limited run of 250 giclee prints for sale through the Bioware Store for $40 each, I will not be selling them in my shop. I hope you all enjoy it.
This Life is Problematic: Rolan Quarn is the greatest turian ever
So I’ve been doing some research for my story. Which led to me to do a google search of Rolan Quarn, or as most people will probably know him, the turian con ‘artist’ from the Citadel DLC.
Turns out the guy’s actually been involved in the series since August 2010 where he popped up on Cerberus News Network, after he stole the identity of Delumcore System’s CEO after he died of a heart attack a week into a holiday, then ran the company successfully for two years before getting caught by a routine traffic stop noticing discrepancies in his geneprint.
Three days after, he slipped free of a tracking bracelet and police escort and escaped the planet, but only after leaving a recorded message thanking many of Delumcore’s employees by name and giving advice for the future, ending the note by saying: “Sorry about the bail. I wish everyone the best. I’ve never been prouder of the people I’ve worked with, and that’s saying something.”
Then, on New Year’s Eve, he steals the Times Square New Year’s Eve ball (which is four metres in diameter and weighs 5185kg) from the Citadel by himself, before returning it later with a note saying “C-Sec needs funds. You can smuggle anything onto this station.”
adsfhjaksldfhsajkdfhaThen he shows up in the Citadel DLC with the sexiest voice ever and basically tells you how he’s future Robin Hood. But turian.
He may only show up for five minutes in the game, but my god, what a legend.

They aren't just my team. They're my friends, my brothers and sisters in combat. They're the reason I'm fighting to win this war, and I wouldn't trade them for anybody else in the galaxy.

So Bioware did the awful thing to actually reveal Tali’s face AND doing a crap job at it. That made me pretty much deny the whole thing ever happening (..among other things) so Tali’s “official” face is still a mystery to me.
I’d like to point out before anyone gets mad about her looking ‘wrong’ that this is 90% my headcanon and it’s not meant to necessarily meet anyone else’s ideas about her looks. How she looks here is based on my views of Quarian biology, geography of Rannoch, codex/dialogue, and earlier Quarian concepts. I always try to make my headcanons logical in a biological sense (adsjghf im so funny) but since we don’t know that much about quarian physiology, most of my “facts” are guesses at most.
So if you’re interested, go ahead and read the massive wall of lol-science text because I obviously had too much time in my hands.
Sooo..
The first thing you have to remember are the enviro-suits and how important they are to quarian culture. They’ve been worn by quarians for hundreds of years and there’s no way the suit’s design hasn’t been inspired by how the quarians look underneath the suit. It also makes it quite certain that quarians don’t have horns, big ears or anything that would greatly effect the suit design (both aesthetically and functionally).
Secondly, according to the codex Rannoch’s surface temperature is over 48°C so it’s one hot place to live in. Most mammals that live in hot places on Earth have huge ears for cooling purposes but quarian suits make that idea seem quite impossible or at least very un-practical. Since quarians are probably not cold-blooded, I’d imagine they would have a ‘ventilation’ closer to us humans but more suited for Rannoch’s temperatures. The ‘cuts’ and lines on her face are like a super efficient cooling system and they pretty much cover the whole body as well, keeping quarians from overheating but also saving them from having to sweat all the time. Sweating would suck in that suit.
Also since Rannoch is mostly a desert planet, and thus a very brown habitat to live in, quarian skin color is most likely very ‘natural’ looking. Any overly colorful skintones (green, blue, purple etc) don’t really make sense from evolution’s point of view, so to me quarians have always had a wide variety of brown-ish skin color to help their ancestors blend into their surroundings.
And as for the overall skin type, I’d like to think quarians are more like turians than humans. Grunt once said that humans, asari and salarians are soft and thus easy to kill, turians and quarians not as much. So quarian skin would be tougher and thicker than human skin since their physique is obviously quite the same.
The markings on her face are kinda like tattoos. Having something special decorating your face and body is something I see quarians appreciate, but anything other than permanent tattoos would be too much trouble because of the suit. The ‘text’ itself is a part taken from Migrant Fleet ships’ walls, and it probably has something to do with their homeworld as always.
And no hair. At least in a sense that humans would think as hair. To me growing any ‘fur’ in that suit makes no sense since I doubt they’d have hair in any other reason than for aesthetical purposes, and no-one gets to see it anyway because of the damn suit. Since they already use a lot of cybernetic augmentations in their bodies you’d think they also used some sort of medicine or technology to stop any unnessecary hair from growing. At least I would. But yeah if they had hair, it’d be kinda like dreadlocks because ..because I say so.
Lastly, I’ve seen a lot of art and posts that describe quarians kinda sickly-looking because of all the years spent in the enviro-suit. I honestly can see where people are coming from with the idea but it’s still not how I see quarians. Yes they are often sick because of the immune system and sterile environment, but I’d also like to believe that the suits are damn well made and don’t really affect their overall appearance that much. Otherwise you’d hear a lot more whining.
..wow I wish I could hide text in photo posts. that’s a lot ofcraptext. I think I just got myself +100 pathetic geek points. level up, man.Okay THIS might be my new favourite fan-made Quarian design.
Bringing this back around
