Description
8.5" x 11" prints available from our store!Β I've also got high quality giclΓ©e and canvas prints (and more!) available via my shop on INPRNT .Excuse to practice drawing turians? Check.
Excuse to draw a lovely umbrella cockatoo? Check.
Excuse to make silly random jokes at the expense of my poor multiplayer character? Check!
The turian is Temis, and when I say he's my multiplayer character, what I actually mean is he's the character who dies a lot when my husband and I attempt to duo the multiplayer part of ME3 which is supposed to be for 4 people. But as we're more comfortable duoing... well, we die a lot. Heh. Poor Temis.
Turians get called 'avian' a lot, especially in the ME novels. I can kind of see it, though they definitely resemble birdlike dinosaurs far more than modern birds. Still, I couldn't resist the cockatoo thing, with the crest and all. There is some resemblance! Well, that and I'm convinced umbrella cockatoos automatically adore everyone and everything in the galaxy, so meeting an alien wouldn't be a problem.

The Bird is confused, but it seems to like what it sees.

I don't get it either. When I played the game, I thought that Turians looked more like some sort of dinosaur alien, but not birds....

Well interesting fact that Anderson did mention the Turians looks like birds or dinosaurs to his eyes. So thereβs that if this makes you feel better.
I think the Turians mostly resembles from Raptors. Guess Dr. Grant was right if Raptors didnβt go extinct. XD

To be fair, birds did evolve from dinosaurs. For me they resemble a raptor or something like that.

Yeah, I can see that.

Always thought they looked like a cross between a bird and a dragon. I mean, look at dem teeth! And scales...those too.

Beautiful picture ! But to the Multiplayer part

I thought the turians were like something of a humanoid bug cat thing, I just can't see the bird in them.

It's funny, because I never thought they looked "bird-like" at all. I always got more of a feline feel from the Turians.

Did you catch Grunt's joke about that in the Citadel DLC? Well... more like drunken rambling than joke, but I liked it.

Lol, no. Β I had no desire to play the Citadel DLC. Funny they acknowledged it though.

At least Turians sound a lot easier on the ears than Cockatoos.

I always considered Garrus/turians to be space dragon kitties xD

Yes, just... yes. Their resemblance to birds seems so obvious now that you have pointed it out. Now I can finally convince my friend turians don't look like cats.
...
Well, at least they don't to me.

Half the fun is hearing peoples' interpretations of what they look like! It's quite simple, really. They're bird-cat-dinosaur-grasshopper-pineapples!
π: 0 β©: 2
That's the most interesting interpretation someone has ever given me.
π: 0 β©: 0
In my opinion, I always thought they looked like a mix of cats and birds.

I think my first thought was "dinobugs!" I love hearing what everyone thinks they look like, though.

It's odd, because then when people tell you, you can suddenly see the resemblance.
π: 0 β©: 0
When you line 'em up next to each other, yeah, I can kinda see the resemblence.

Indeed! Though convincing him of that is quite another matter.

Good pic, but you should've gone with a Sulphur Crested.
You know the stigma against barefaces and all?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe, perhaps... but seeing as Temis is a bareface, it's kind of fitting.
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess.
I wish they had've put in a feature to let you alter tattoos and the like...
Maybe in the next game, eh?
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh, that's easy... it's the one with the crest! ...no, wait... the one with kinda the beak-like thing... no... um. Claws? No, that doesn't work either. Hmm. Sorry, can't help you.

Cockatoo: Attempt to court this gorgeous beast.

Hehe, perhaps... or it might just be that cockatoos love everyone.

yes garrus yea, although my sister thinks you look like a snapping turtle
π: 0 β©: 1
Not actually Garrus, just my multiplayer soldier Temis. 
π: 0 β©: 1
lol that just seems like something garrus would say
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol, I've always seen the resemblance myself aswell.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I'm sure he appreciates the sentiment.
