I figured Tali fans would like a cleaner version of the in-game photo of Tali from Mass effect 3, whether they hated the fact that that's all we got or not.
Using the same stock photo, I tried to mimic what Bioware did, but also made her eye shape and hand a bit more accurate to what you can see on her game character model. I had seen fans complaining about her weird thin hand that simply had the last 2 fingers shopped off.
Since I suck at this kind of thing, a good friend Brian (Drawn2Digital here at DA) did some great work cleaning up my sloppy work and changing the colors of her clothes.
So this is a U9/D2D colab!

Like this? Hate it?
If it can be better, let me know and I will try (or ask Brian to help again lol) and update the pic. There has been some disagreement about just what she looked like in the pic though... despite the fact that every game copy had the same photo of her, so I may not agree on just any opinion. For example: She definitely isn't blue or purple in the game photo unless I am color blind. :)

It never ceases to amaze me that people are stumped by how an alien almost 200 years in the future with crazy technology could have possibly painted her fingernails or taken a photo of herself...

This time lets go with possibility #862: Fingernails are enhanced with tech that lets her change the color with a few taps of her Omnitool.
Or possiblility #266: Some Quarians have nails that color.
Or #518: She painted her nails with Ashley 3 moths ago and future nail polish is 150 times more sturdy than today's stuff.
Or #4: She colored them that morning when she had a few minutes to spare because she knew meeting up with Shep again might mean naked time later if they lived long enough. She also set her suit for extra deodorant and made sure her hair was clean and smelled nice.

I didn't mean to offend you. Its a great picture. I just don't see why she would bother...no one is going to see them.

Oh no no You didn't offend me. I can see how you might think I was offended from my response though.
There are a few things people hate on about the Bioware original and my touched up version of this pic, that aren't really very valid complaints to me. I've heard them so many times now... Your comment was the one where I finally decided to go off about it, haha. Sorry! :)

Oh and for the complainers, I think they did a fine job with Tali afte searching through tens of thousands of photos to get what they felt was the right one, and I also think the revised ending was great. Loved all the DLC's especially the Citadel DLC. I think you're editing of the stock photo works very well indeed.

Thanks! I agree with you totally. I do think a bit more effort could have been put into the photoshopping of the pic, but the pic itself wasn't bad. I LOVED the extended ending. It truly fixed the game for me and repositioned the Mass Effect trilogy as my favorite game story ever.

Great job. I do think her middle finger and knuckle should meet a little to the viewer's right in the photo to mesh with the hand structure, and also we did see pupils move in the mask so there should be some pupils. All in all great job!

I think you did a great job. I also think it is sad that we didn't get to see more of Tali. Or any of them out of their suits.
