Description
"I-I-" Everything she tired to say caught in her throat... It couldn't be /HIM/ He was.... he was dead... She'd accepted that. She hadn't moved on but, she came to terms with the fact that he'd died. She understood that he'd never be there to hug her or kiss her or tell her he would be fine... and there he stood, before her, a ghost of the past. "Kal." Tears fell freely down her face as she watching him stand still, making no movements. He'd lost weight, a lot of it, and his face had aged.... he'd been gone for so long Tali forgot what he smelled like even...____________
Okay, I'm braving it and putting this up here again. But be warned if you don't have a comment about the ART and are just here to tell me about how Tali and Kal couldn't ever be together, I will find you, kill you, then burn the body.
Drew this a few months ago, it's still one of my most favorite pieces.

Uhg, I know! I'm just headcanoning that since they never found Kal's body, he got out okay and will find Tali again after all the mess is fixed!

THIS HAS TO BE FIXED. Someone needs to write a story about it.

The art is beautiful...and I always really liked the idea of the two them together personally, I thought they complimented each other well.

Thank you! I absolutely adore these two. They are like my babies.

I love this! Even if it's not canon, I totes support it. Tali needs someone to care for rather than herself all the time. Yes I have a chip on my shoulder with her.
This is beautiful artwork

I love the ART and I love EVEN MORE your wee story because I too have complicated headcanon about how he managed to survive. Might even write it down someday when I'm not absolutely gutted.

This was actually part of a RP with a large group of people. Tali and Kal were just so absolutely cute together. And I fully support ANY headcanon with them together!

since he died via a message... he's not dead for me. that was a fake message, for some tactical thing.. he's alive, and he so will get together with Tali and they will have lots of children.
(after ME2 I was so waiting for them to get together. it was simply meant to be!)
having said that:
the pic is really sweet. ^^

I have the same feelings. That they never found a body, so that means he's still alive, and he WILL find his way back to Tali, I just know it. *SOBS*
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

just played Tali's mission in ME2. Kal'Reegar is an amazing character. he shuld have been in command of the Quarian fleet in ME3.
and he is hell of a soldier. No way he died this easily. NO WAY!
*holds an to her belief, even if Bioware would prove otherwise*

I felt the same! He needed to be huge and recognized! Especially if you had him bitch out with Veetor to save Tali!

I was so flipping mad when they killed him in a letter! I was going to scream.

oh i know! well since i doubt they recovered his body then we can just say he was assumed dead but survived.besides it goes with your fanart perfectly. he finds his way back to rannoch after being treated.

This is gorgeous
I've never really thought of this pairing!

Thank you!
They are by far my favorite pairing!

I'm really liking them too!
And people who're telling you to stop shipping them are just being stupid, honestly. Shipping doesn't HAVE to make sense
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha how true that is! Thank you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Whew. You've got some... interesting comments from folks.
I love the artwork. I also happen to be one who likes to entertain the idea of non-canon ships, and Kal and Tali is a very appealing option. I love the way you've drawn them, and the writings to go along with it are great. :]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha seriously. And those are just the public ones!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Are comments about how much I ship these two allowed?
As to the art, love the skin tones. Very nice. Also, the cutest design for Tali's hair I've ever seen!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course they are welcome! I'm always trying to add other shippers to my cause! *Some cheesy trumpets blare in the background* ... ahem. haha.
And thank you! Ever since I heard her voice, for some reason the short curly hair has always stuck with me. Since this piece, I've revised how I picture the ear shape and a few other features, but Tali's hair has never changed!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Her hair is very much like mine, except mine is dark blond. So of course I find it super cute.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Secretly, it's my hair too lol. Buy mine is brown.

Really good. Great face expressions^^
I don't really get why some people're thinking they can't be together. If Shepard does'nt romance Tali she scould be with Kal'Reghaar.
But mostly Shepard is faster XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! And I feel the same way. If tali isn't with shep for one reason on another, she should get SOMEONE. And Kal is the next best man!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
+ he is actually in crushed on Tali.
At least it seems so.
He's a soldier so he doesn't show much emotions but when I was played ME2 I've noticed a tiny affection to Tali. So there is a basis for romance even if it's small.
