Description My vision of Tali'Zorah nar Ray (Tali'Zorah vas Normandy) unmasked.

Not a classic humanoid beauty but beauty *is* in the eye of the beholder (or in the eyes of Shepard anyways).

This image is based on the visage painted all over the buildings on Haestrom* which depicts a larger head, flat nose and cat like eyes very similar to the 'classic gray alien'.

In some screengrabs from ME1 and ME2 the shape of a human nose is seen but I believe that is because of the human head model used under the visor... so I gave that a big *handwave* and this is what I came up with.

Really won't mind if she remains masked in ME3 but it would be neat to see what a Quarian looks like!

Mass Effect and Tali are owned by BioWare and EA.


*Luckily I had a save point right before recruiting Tali on one of my PTs - so here are some screen grabs from Haestrom to show what I am referencing. To me, it would appear to be a portrait of a quarian head. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I thought it was

Could due to be just a LITTLE cuter, but overall that's pretty much one of the best renditions of Tali I've seen yet. Just human enough to make sense with the silhouette behind the mask and potentially be attractive (again, if cuter), but just alien enough to not look like just another Asari knock off, or worse, human. Bravo, boss.

okay, right, not a usual beauty, but however, great work. i don't agree with this vision of her, in my vision she almost looks like a human.
what i would like to know:
WHERE the hell did you find these paintings on haestrom?! i played the game about 8 times and i've never seen something like a visage... only quarian symbols on the walls, same as on the flotilla.

Wait, where on Haestrom did you did you find paintings? On the the buildings? I never saw anything like that.

I think they were just signs used for identifying a location, rather than actually being renditions of the Quarians themselves. It would be like putting up a "Stop" sign, or a warehouse number.

I am torn if they should, it would be great to see, but I can hear the rage now.

I would love if Quarians did look more alien like that. It's pretty close to how I imagine them anyway. Nice job ^^
