Description Aria T'Loak Fanart. Aria is from Mass Effect and is a pretty fearsome character.
She is actually my second favorite character from Mass Effect lol XD Its interesting
since Tali is my first favorite and Aria is my second. Their personalities both
contrast greatly. Aria is a BAMF! XD She really is lol You dont want to mess
with her! I like her character because she is strong and she has this fearsome
'dont you dare mess with me or you will see the airlock' attitude but she
also has this softness within her. Her character grew on me not too long after
I met her in ME2. She doesnt have a big role, but she has a big impact as a
character personally.

An Asari:
Aria is an Asari, an alien race in Mass Effect. Their features are humanlike but
they differ greatly from humans. One is the shape of their heads. Its an interesting
design. Also, they can live to 1000 years XD So yes thats like a 900 year difference
when compared to a human.

The Shield:
Aria has biotic powers so I tried to express her biotics in this fanart. She is emitting
a powerful energy shield (lol I attempted to XD) which are all those lights you see and
the circular encasing you see forming around her. Its not a moon lol

Overview:
I tried to make Aria's face as close to her face in the game. Its not perfectly
like her but its kinda close lol And her pose is a but awkward and slightly
disproportional. But all in all, I am actually quite happy how this turned out.
I wasnt expecting to make it this intense with the colors. I know that I did
want to do this character justice so I took my time. This took me around
15 hours XD 7/15/2012 & 7/16/2012

References used for Aria are from the game Mass Effect.

It turned out very good! Ah, and for the record, in ME1 Shepard mention to Liara that humans are lucky if they arrive at 150 years... sorry it had to be done...

Such great composition you create.
Disproportional? Where? I can't see it. Really love her her looong legs, they are fantastic
Idea of biotic shield was great. This effect on picture looks cool and shows the true power of Aria.
About face.. She looks as beautiful as in game. After seeing your picture, I think everybody what to play game once more to see her again. Congratulations

Thanks very much for the comment Lol the thighs in particular is what I see as too long and her body as well haha
I like drawing long legs, its kind of how I draw people but I feel I made her thighs here a tad bit too long. But Im glad
you like it! And thanks about the biotic shield ^^ It does show her amazing power And thanks so much again for
your comment I really appreciate it

You're welcome ^^ It was a real pleasure for me.
Too long? She is just tall girl and that is all haha And don't worry, she looks fabulous. Really good that you like to draw long legs, girls with this looks more cool on drawings
Ohh yeah, Aria is a true war-machine if she only want

Ah Aria, one of those rare characters that turn me on and scare the living crap me in equal measure...

I think you did a great job on a face, considering how hard it is to get right. I think maybe her brows could be lowered a tad to make her a bit more brooding but the hard line of her jaw and chin is just right - and that's one of her defining features.

All in all it's another wonderful image. Makes me wish I could still draw xD

SumikoOneeSan In reply to mothbanquet [2012-07-17 20:12:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you thank you! ^^ She is an interesting and powerful character I wanted to make sure I get her face mostly right lol Oh yes I agree, I think if I lowered her brows it will look more like her! She has an interesting facial structure and yes her chin is definitely one of her defining features ^^. I love how in Mass Effect that every Asari you see has their own unique facial structures. It amazes me!

Well it helps that the faces of famous ones like Aria and Liara are modelled on real people. Helps keep them unique, I guess!

No way I didnt know that Aria and Liara was modeled after real people! I only know that Joker and Miranda were modeled after real people! o_o

Koralika In reply to SumikoOneeSan [2012-07-20 19:13:06 +0000 UTC]

And Aria is modelled on Carrie Anne Moss.

SumikoOneeSan In reply to Koralika [2012-07-20 19:28:22 +0000 UTC]

Ah! Yes! I was looking at Aria images with Carrie Anne Moss, and I was thinking they looked extremely similar (like their overall facial structure,chin, eyes, and cheekbones). But I wasnt sure if she was modeled off her since I didnt see information about it anywhere confirming it, but their features were so close that it had me convinced somewhat! Its just Aria's nose is different XD Lol that is so awesome! I wonder who else is modeled after people. I heard somewhere that male Shepherd was modeled after a model lol I knew about Miranda and Joker since they were in a short video I watched saying they are the face and voice actor of them

Koralika In reply to SumikoOneeSan [2012-07-20 19:36:03 +0000 UTC]

Not only Carrie gave her face to Aria, but her voice as well.

Samara is Rana McAnear as you can see here: [link]

and EDI is Tricia Helfer. That's all I know.

SumikoOneeSan In reply to Koralika [2012-07-20 19:42:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes I know that she voices her too, Im just surprised she didnt mention she was also the face of Aria in the video! But maybe she did say it and just didnt hear it lol Carrie was a badass in The Matrix and she is also a badass in Mass Effect lol Wow i just looked at the link you sent and wow, wow that is definitely Samara o_o And Edi too!

Koralika In reply to SumikoOneeSan [2012-07-20 20:01:54 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes I wished Liara's voice actress would give her face as well because... Ali Hillis. Daym.
Not that Jillian Murray is bad either..

SumikoOneeSan In reply to Koralika [2012-07-20 23:45:58 +0000 UTC]

I think Ali Hillis looks more like Liara than Julian Murray. XD I dont see much of Liara in Murray but only through her nose and lips mostly. Hillis's facial structure and eyes look more like Liara to me haha ^^ This is very interesting!

Koralika In reply to SumikoOneeSan [2012-07-21 07:49:37 +0000 UTC]

True. She does look like Liara a little bit.

mothbanquet In reply to SumikoOneeSan [2012-07-19 07:57:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Liara's modelled on an actress named Jillian Murray. Samara's modelled on an actress too, I believe.

I wish they did all human woman like Miranda. Not that they all look like her, I mean it'd be nice if they all looked so unique and realistic. I remember when I first saw Miranda, I was like: "wow, she's the most realistic-looking woman I've ever seen in a game O_O"

SumikoOneeSan In reply to mothbanquet [2012-07-20 23:52:15 +0000 UTC]

That is sooooo cool XD Yes Samara has her face modeled after someone! Someone sent me the name! Its Rana McAnear
Yes Miranda does look unique! I have to agree that she is one of the most realistic looking woman in the game. There's no one like her too! I also think that most of everyone in the game have their own unique features and that is one of the things I really admire about the game Maybe a little more hair styles, but the faces all seem different ^^ (I think that mentioned this before lol XD I tend to be repetitive at times)

tatsuyabocchan [2012-07-17 09:55:59 +0000 UTC]

i don't know this game XD

but

what makes me think is however human brain grow and gain knowledge or getting understand about science, human brain won't grow unnaturally, well except in some disease.
and for some people, who made alien looks like human is just because no creature as perfect as human. because the real alien for me is actually as big as germ and any other microbe. haha...

however, your fanart is actually amaze me ^-^ just like an elf character in mythical creature, they have characters

I love Aria! She's such an awesome character! Mass Effect did make a comic with her involving the beginning of the Reaper invasion, and how some indoctrinated monsters got onto Omega.
