I demand a romance option for Garrus's sister.
No I'm kidding, please don't do that.

Thats true. The feathers and way-too-supportive hips kinda threw me off. Other than that it looks like a good femturian concept.

I hope they're ugly.
I'm tired of every alien in sci-fi having ugly men and attractive women, even when it doesn't make sense.

I am sure Garrus is the most handsomest dinosaur to ever live. But I cannot love a man with blue eyes.

If it makes me racist. Then so be it. But Garrus will never be able to enjoy the taste of a fine Cuban cigar.

Now I have "Behind Blue Eyes" stuck in my head, thanks.
Wanted to requote this:
Because if we are going to bring women into the picture, we probably need to think a little harder about turian fashion. I'm not saying they can't wear the same thing as the guys (I love those tunic-shaped tops, really) but putting them in something a bit different would be nice. Plus.. I just like the look of these outfits.

It's honestly been a pet theory of mine that Mac Walters conspired with the Dark Horse art department to totally troll the fan community. They were thinking "Man, that community sure is full of fans chomping at the bit to see female turians! And annoyingly so! Okay then, we'll GIVE them female turians! They just won't be what they expected or wanted to see at all! Besides, it's not like the hardcore fans will even like this comic anyway, because they have such high expectations that they NEVER like anything we do! So we'll give them an artistic abortion."
This coming from someone (and I think I am the ONLY one, judging by these forums) who LIKES Evolution! Honestly, reading that comic, I really could swear that it's killing two birds with one stone: adding to the ME background story, while giving Mac and Dark Horse the opportunity to prod and tick off their detractors.

Well, if the only way for us to have female turians in ME3 is for them to be ugly as hell...

^That theory may be pleasant for you to think about CmndrKankrelat but I think BioWare are more likely to try to give the fans what they want since that makes them more motivated to give BioWare more money. Sure, some will always complain that people like the wrong thing but I think BioWares profit can live with that.
If BioWare realy want to give us cool looking female turians I'm sure they can do so without too much effort as the turians are already a established and popular part of the ME world and games.
As for cheap spinoff products like Evolution I think BioWare just gave Dark Horse a lot of artistic liberty as that usualy works best. And I also think that ME3 will be very little dependant on art and story in the spinoff franchise.

I would say that turians look good on the outside in any case.

Oh I know, and I think you are right. As I said, it was a "pet theory," and my "pet theories" are almost always humorous and half-hearted in nature. This one was no exception. What can I say, I like to joke!

LOL, indeed.
So far, I still think the DH version is the best.
1. They appear to look just as masculine and proud as the men, which makes sense since the females are just as militarised and hardened as the males.
2. There is a similarity to the asari head fringe in that the female turian fringe shares the quality of gently curving up at the tips; but the similarity is tenuous enough (to human eyes) to make it consistent with the bachelor party conversation, which showed that the visual similarity between the asari and a given species is only particularly noticeable to members of that species.
3. It's refreshing to see a design for females of a species that doesn't conform to human sexual dimorphism.
The only thing left is the head plating, but that can easily be explained:
"...they could always explain that they adapted by using headwear (just as
we survived the last ice age despite our lack of hair). Or they could
say that it's a recessive gene that's become prevalent to colony turians
on low-radiation worlds (like how blue eyes became prevalent in human
populations in Europe despite the fact it's a recessive gene)."

I agree with everything AwesomeName said. He's a smart little cookie that one, but I could be biased... 
I'll pretty much repeat what has been said previously by several people: Turian females to be included, out of curiosity as opposed to '******'. They shouldn't be sexed up (it's tiresome and completely weird as they're ALIENS - that's not to say that aliens cannot be attractive to the human eye at all *cough* Garrus *cough* but giving them boobs or Hentai style poses is just plain wrong) and it would be helpful to have some distinguishing features between males and females but it isn't really essential. Not all species have obvious differences between males/females (cats, for example) and not all females of the species are more ellaborate or attractive, particularly, as AwesomeName pointed out along the way, in the bird family. *deep breath*
Wait, why am I even getting involved in this discussion? I haven't played Mass Effect that much!

The DH version doesn't really have any fringe going on, there is the faceplate yes but no fringe and no plating on the neck or back of the head (which should be consistent with protecting one of the most vulnerable areas of the body from radiation). It is NOT consistent with what Garrus says ("If you were a turian I would compliment your fringe..") and it's not very consistent with the asari head tentacles either. I'm not sure we're looking at the same picture?
Genetically speaking it doesn't make sense, plenty of turians still live on Palaven or in environments that have high radiation. It would take several, several thousands of years to lose that kind of protective plating.. there should be SOME remnants of the plating still there if that was the case. And if this was happening, why are the men not affected?
And other than the schoolgirl fanart, what fanart has been disturbing in this thread? There have been beautiful interpretations here, again, most people don't want the female turians to be humanified or "sexed up". Most of them look very close to the males.

The thing that puts me off the most with the DH design is the lack of head plates or whatever they're called. Plus, I'd imagine that bald spot is pretty sensitive to radiation.
The rest? Eh. I guess it's okay.
