Still hoping BW doesn't go with Dark Horse's horrific interpretation. Still hoping DH is just doing what it does best: butcher the ME universe.

Funny; my 9-year-old sister can actually draw better than those guys.

By dull i mean their not very colorful like male turians with their face paint. And IRL Female birds dont have a lot of color.

The face paint's more out of patriotic pride than sex appeal.  Technically, every single turian in that comic except for Saren and the kid should be painted.


lol i didnt even notice none of them had face paint on. But still the females also have less head plumage than the males just like birds would IRL


Yeah, but they still have plumage.  People use peacocks as examples, too...but female peacocks still have tail feathers and plumage, even if it they are shorter and not as colorful.

Dark Horse's female turians, on the other hand, are decidedly lacking in plumage, period.  I could understand shorter...I could understand not being as colorful (although many avian species display sexual monomorphism and thus females look just like the males)...but to be lacking completely in fringe or neck scales/plates (you know, to protect against Palaven's heightened radiation) is...well...

I'm just hoping this is another instance of Dark Horse fail.  Weak as it is, it's all I have. :P

Y'know, maybe I'm prejudiced... Maybe I'm xenophobic... Maybe I'm just an ill-informed luddite with no sense of aesthetic value...

But my GOD those things are hideous.

They look like Killer Croc from the Batman mythos got married to Medusa and had a really really ugly baby.

Well, at the end of the day, Turians aren't birds.  Female peacocks still having *some* plumage doesn't mean female turian fringes should be proportional to that.. (And they do have fringes... A fringe it just the outer most edge of something).

I do agree that they should have neck scales that make up for the lack of spikes.  If they did, perfect - HAVING SAID THAT, evolution isn't perfect (I'm talking about actual evolution)...  E.g. women get a lot of back ache when pregnant, because our skeletons are evolved from something that was accustomed to walking on all fours, but we still manage to survive - we could say the same thing here.  Even as they are now, I see no conflict with the ME games (including what the bachelor party turian said).

Yeah, drastically shorter:

It's a perfectly reasonable analogy.

It certainly is...and it perfectly supports my point which is that the plumage/tails are still there. =]

@AwesomeName: The inherent risks of radiation =/= the "danger" of back aches.  I also disagree with your interpretation of the game canon, but I think that's established.  Regardless, my preference, my hope is that Bioware will NOT abide by Dark Horse's atrocious design choice.


@Gentleman Moogle: Chalk that up to Dark Horse.  They could make a super model look like a swamp monster.

Wait, so we're basing amount of fringe off peacock feathers now?

Currently what they look like is only a step above what female vorcha probably look like.

No. People are saying it's a reasonable analogy for turians, given that we know they're partially based on avians and that the females as depicted quite obviously fit that analogy.  You're also going by Dark Horse comic art, as if that will be how they'd look in-engine.  Not to mention you seem to have this notion that they should be appealing to you personally.

I don't think it is a horribly accurate analogy, but even when you factor in DH it looks like Skeletor.

"The inherent risks of radiation =/= the "danger" of back aches"   You don't say... :P I wasn't saying it was...   The point I was making was that you can survive without having a perfectly adapted body.. If they've survived without neck plates extending over their heads, I imagine there's a reason for it...  Just as we've survived despite a lack of body hair (even through an ice-age, no less...).  Female turians may use a lot of head wear on Palaven, most of the time.  Or, a lack of plates could be due to a recessive gene and have become less uncommon ever since turians expanded beyond their homeworld to systems with less radiation, and may even be advantageous to *those* systems.  Who knows.

That's fair enough that you disagree with my interpretation of the bachelor party convo.  Most people ignore me whenever I bring up the point that the similarity the turian sees between female turian and asari fringes are probably only supposed to be noticeable to HIS kind... not ours.  I think the issue stems from the fact that when the turian said there was this similarity, everyone understandly fixated on the most OBVIOUS similarities WE could see between the male turian and asari fringes, since that's all we had to go on, and everyone just filled in the blanks and thus jumped to the conclusion that female turians must have those spikes.  Naturally, no one would have guessed that the turian could actually have been talking about a much more subtle similarity (e.g. the way the female turian fringe flare up at the tips).  That quality in a turian fringe may be highly incidental to a human visual cortex but not to a turian's.

The thing is, the nature of the art style of those comics means that you can't see any of the typical striations you find on turian skin any. Detail is pared down a lot. I'd imagine that, instead of a polished bowling-ball there, they have the slightly ridged, sort of plate-like texture of normal Turian skin.

I thought female turians weren't suppose to have chests and they were suppose to have more supportive hips or maybe shes just considered ugly by turian standards?

I got the idea that, in a race where a fragile waist is sort of the norm, a supportive waist may be seen as very attractive. I don't picture females as having much wider waists, just a little bit wider. And the more supportive your waist... well. You get the picture.

I agree with this. I don't like their interpretation of female turians, or turians in general, or TIM, or Saren, or...

Eh, it's just a cheap coming spinoff. Let's wait and see what BioWare artists have in mind for the female turian LI in ME3.

...What? Of course there will be a female turian LI in ME3!

People, turians are reptoavian aliens, they are not earth birds! Nor are they like human females or even mammal females on earth standards. They are ALIENS.

Everything in that comic is hilariously off model.

So I'm not gonna worry about their ingame look too much.
