In light of my last journal, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and doodle a turian girlie.

Went kinda along with the comics design in terms of having no fringe/head spines, but I do have issues with some aspects of the comic design, like the white-face syndrome that makes turians look as skull-faced as humanly possible - no pun intended - and the ridiculous choice to have no bones or plates on the head at all. Turians are avian in design, so I can buy that the spines could be sort of a decorative male thing - maybe - but having the neck plates seems more protective, so I included those. For the rest, I just squished up the face a little bit and omitted the spines on the mandibles.

The other big problem with female turians in the comics was their HIDEOUS HIDEOUS CLOTHING. Ugh ugh ugh. Seriously, you guys, did you just decide to yourselves, 'well, these chicks are fugly, I'm not even gonna try'? STOP THAT AT ONCE.

Since Garrus mentioned waists, I drew this outfit that has no purpose other than to draw as much attention to that as possible. I didn't think of it until after drawing this, but in retrospect, I sort of like the idea that narrow waists are a guy thing for turians. These women have to carry their babies someplace, so maybe having a wider waist to go along with dem child-bearing hips is considered attractive. I dunno.
Moving on, I don't dig the way so many women in ME are just wearing long plain skirts - skirts are hot, but that style is just impractical. Turian gals, I'd imagine, would want something feminine, but comfortable and practical too.

The main thing in designing a girl, at least so far as turians are concerned, is just having her carry herself like one. I've no problem with the idea of say, krogan females being almost impossible to tell from the males, but I don't get that impression with turians. And then you give her a good voice actress and SEXINESS ENSUES.

Anywaaay, sorry if you hate it. I did my best!
