Why didn't you post your female Turian AdmiralCheez?

Because I'm shy about my silly doodles?

*sigh*

Fine, have at it:

I do love her leonine features, and I still can't figure out what makes her seem so.. female but it just works so well.

It does look feminine doesn't it. I think it's the mouth. And the fact that the fringe/non-fringe is not shown, allowing the brain to envision it however you imagine it.

Nice doodle btw.

Thanks.

Confession: I couldn't figure out how to draw the fringe so I cropped it, derp.

On subject of voice actors: You guys mentioned some cool stuff, but I'd be happy as a clam if we got Susan Egan to do a voice.  I mean, yeah, she's a Broadway singer (and Disney most likely owns the rights to her eternal soul), but her normal talking voice is awesome in and of itself.

Okay, maybe I'd just love her to voice anyone, period.  Hurr dee durr.

I think the idea of making the female turians a different color is also a good idea. I like the comtrast of the snow white maybe even a mirky green (if you live in LA, its the color of the ocean) female turian next to a grey or brown male turian.  Just a thought.  I do like the idea of women using different color paint for their face tattoos also....BTW, nice drawing.

If we're talking voice acting, I want turian ladies to have a pleasantly deep, throaty voice. Kind of like a lioness (this last phrase is probably due to me reading too much Daniel Pennac).

Different colours is a good idea, it would make them easy to spot from a distance. Maybe dark shades of purple or blue (dark enough that they appear black from far way, don't want them to be confused for asari)? The murky green sounds interesting.

I sort of like the idea of that tattoos having a set colour though some combinations work better than others.. such as white tats on darker carapaces (there are a few examples of light coloured turians with very light coloured tattoos that are very hard to see already).

I can just imagine everyone in Garrus' family, for example, having the same blue tattoos regardless of gender.

For me, it's the cheeks & eyes that give it a feminine look.

Very good work Cheez.

Oh great, now I'm imagining a turian version of Zira from The Lion King 2.

That movie. Jesus Christ, that movie. It is literally the greatest highlight of my childhood, together with Starcraft. I watched it like thrice per day for several years on our VHS, NEVER got tired of it. Granted, I watched it with a swedish dub so it took me a couple of years to hear the original, eargasmic glory that is Susan Egan's voice for Megara, but dayumtychuscat.jpg, back in those days the swedish dub VA'ing was f***ing A-grade.

Your childhood sounds quite similar to mine, only more Swedish.  I think I got the short end of the deal in that regard.  My childhood could stand to be more Swedish.

Ah, Disney movies. What would I do without thee? *drowns in a sea of rainbows and nostalgia*

You gotta admit, they set the bar high for characterization and voice acting.  Bioware does awesome characters, so I like to think there's a relation there.

Aaaaand now my brain broke.  Mass Effect animated musical.  Thank you, brain.  Thank you for dividing by zero yet again.

EDIT: I digressed. But I totally support your notion. Also, I wouldn't say no to James Woods in a voice role, either.

James Woods as a Reaper.  Hilarity ensues.

Whatever path they take...it will never be a happy path. The only way to keep fans happy is to have female and males of species in the game from the get go. You withhold females and shizzle hits the rotary air blower when you eventually get females.

Excellent case in point. They started only with the females (er...female) and there was minimal to buggery about the complains of how the blokes looked in ME2.

You watch the outrage when we see female batarians!

Remember that N7 mission where there was a group of batarian terrorists hijacking a missle-launching facility on some planet's moon? There were female batarians walking around with their grandma-lookin sagging boobs, plus a slimmer neck and head.
I bet we walked by, or even talked to turian and salarian females... We just did not even know it.

Pics or it didn't happen!!11!1! D:<

Lulz.  Anyway, it matters not what we see in an ugly-ass batarian woman, but what the batarian gents see in her.  Skinny heads and saggy ****** may be attractive by their standards, just like certain cultures on Earth used to dig unibrows.

Hopefully Watts and co. don't use the most unholy comic as a reference. They butchered TIM, female turians, and what else?

[lolwut666]

They should do it like the japanese and just give female turians bigger eyes and a smaller jaw.

They made Saren into an emo and totally changed why he dislikes humans.

Pretty much every single squaddie from ME1 as well as several plot-important details from the game, Executor Pallin, pre-established lore...

... and then the books went and did horrible things to Anderson.

Drew?  Mac?  I don't care if you are two of the more important creative minds behind Mass Effect; I hate you anyway.

[Nohvarr]

At this point I hope the only female Turians you all see are ones that have been turned into husks. That way I can happily imagine your screams of rage and horror as Bioware reaps your tears for their wine. It would be the perfect fan tease, even better than not showing Tali's face at the last moment in ME 2.

To add to that:

"Fair point. I'll be slightly more direct: the artists never made a female salarian model."

In all fairness... the doods look like the females. hard to make differing features when all one can wear is an envirosuit. 

that said... i don't think there would be too much outrage, so long as they weren't stupid about it.  I think if they listen to the fans  stay biologically accurate... i tink they'd be fine. 

[Da Mecca]

How the hell do you even think about creating a race without creating both genders anyway?

That just seems dumb.

Easy, you admit the other half exists, but you ask yourself if you can really portray the difference in sex between an alien race without making them look to human. Then you ask if you have the time and resources to make it work.
