Based on their avian inspiration, they make perfect sense. Slighter build, shorter "plummage", more earthy/brown-yellow color...that's exactly what you'd expect from a female bird of prey. Male birds are the ones with brighter colors and fancier plumes.

You can't expect a female bird alien to have ta-tas. At that point, BioWare would lose all remaining self respect. Its hard enough to believe that Quarians and Asari also have (what appear to be) mammary glands in the same location as humans.

It could always be worse, they could have made them even more alien and drove home the "Turians are super militaristic Romans" point by making the females a complete caricature where they are second class and below/inferior to the males.

It makes sense there would be no head fringe, that's how you can tell the difference. Did you expect they would have boobs?

It looks to me like they kinda have boobs. 

That is plating, not proper boobs. There is more to breast then curves.

They look badass. Good one Bioware.

I like them not being standard female figures, but I can't really say I like the design. I don't think fringeless is the way to go when distinguishing them. Maybe shortened fringes or something, but not such a pronounced lack of one.

This. I thought they would have shorter fringes than males, not lack them entirely.

Remember people these are meant to be aliens not humans. Just as a female beetle doesn't look feminine by human standards so shouldn't a female alien!

Yes, this!

Thank God Bioware took the nonattractive route and didn't make another model where we can go," Oooooo that's hawt romance. romance!" These ARE aliens people. Plus the comic could always just be poorly drawn.

People will want to romance them.

People do want to romance Garrus, after all.

Oh I understand completely, I mean face it no one wants to play a game about aliens where all the aliens are unbearable to look at, so it makes sense to try and make them attractive. Garrus, Thane, asari's are basically blue human women-with distinctly alien heads mind you- as far as creativity in the model themselves. All the aliens look interesting, I'm not saying anything against that in any sense. It's just it is nice imo that Bioware seems to not be going out of their way just to provide boners to dudes like myself. It wouldn't break my realism mind you, I just think it's nice. The female aliens who aren't the strippers of the universe aren't strippers for a reason it seems.  

But then again, I see why people still wouldn't like the design. The lack of feminine qualities is probably just because of the comic style, or they quickly drew her for lack of really caring which would be strange for an official comic but there we go. lol.

A male Turian would compliment a female Turian's fringe when trying to romance them.

What happened to the fringe on females? Its gone. art or continuity fail.

Garrus was drunk during that scene.

This.  I figured after the dialogue with Garrus and frat-party turian, female turians would have had some fringe to speak of.  I'd have figured a shorter fringe than males, but not a nonexistent one.  Ugh.  I'm really hoping that this is just more DH comic fail and is not representative of what BW would design for them in ME3.

Considering how horrible the comics have been, across the board, so far as art and writing is concerned...I am hopeful.  Barely, but hopeful.

^No, we were looking for something that at least matched up with the GAME.  The only thing these pictures fit are comments regarding the waist/hips.  The lack of fringe is just ridiculous.  Again, several folks have done fanart of female turians that don't inspire fantasy boners.  We want some consistency.

I'm just discounting the artwork. DH can barely get ME aliens looking decent in the first place. Also, this directly contradicts statements in-game.

...besides, didn't turians develop plating to protect themselves from radiation or somesuch? Femturi has quite a gap in defense there.

flat boobs are still boobs. shaved hair is still hair. removal of the scalp is a bit extreme, which is basically the extent a turian would have to go. its not like its just hair that grows contantly and is cut alot to be grown back, its a hard carapace that is part of their head.

[Mr.House]

That turian guy was gay and Garrus was confused when he was young. There, no more contradictions.

It's BioWare, don't expect too much consistency (see ME1 -> ME2). j/k

God the artwork and dialogue in ME comics is terrible

Fixed.

So basically everything right? If the writings bad and the artwork is bad, what exactly is left?

[MarchWaltz]

Waiting on a Kindel version...but yeah, at least they took a step ahead...I guess.

I would have expected better!

Some species of birds, the females are more decorated than the males, why didn't they just do that?

D=

And some birds they are equivalent or there are only slight differences. D;

Isn't dark horse doing the art for these comics? If they are, I wouldn't worry about what they look like there. It is almost a guarantee that Bioware will do better.

I don't think Bioware would just "give" Dark Horse the Mass Effect license and say "Go wild. Surprise us!" I'm sure the artists have some say so in the designs.

Other than that, I like how the females look. Noticeable difference but not too extreme.

Of course they have some say so, but just look at Liara in the PS3 comic. She is drastically different than the Liara in both of Bioware's games, especially ME2 (the one Mac Walters headed).

I'm just saying that Bioware does better time and time again. If Dark Horse makes a character look like a horny teenager then Bioware makes them look like a competent, ruthless bad*ss. 

I'm just saying, don't base your opinions on Dark Horse anything cuz Bioware is ten times better at this sort of thing (or more).

[DirtyVagrant]

Art can be questionable, it's true; however, the story in this seems fine so far, it appears to be going in an interesting direction so I'm not going to be so quick to condemn it.
