I really don't understand why people have such an issue with this, as it falls in line with the 'avian' thing. I.E. males being "prettier" than females.
Couldn't agree more.But I really really do like some of that fanart better, and I don't care really as long as we see ONE at least in ME3.

I meant that I want Bioware to develop what they feel is an accurate representation of Turian females - not Darkhorse. If Bioware approves of the design, then fine.
I still don't though.
I thought the DH version was approved by Bioware...
I'm perfectly happy with it. I'm glad that, apart from the fringes, they look the same - they're supposed to be just as hardened and militarised as the men, plus it's usually very difficult to tell males and females apart.

In other words, I expect Female Turians to look as much like the Dark Horse version as Jacob Taylor looks like Jacob Taylor:
Only in the opposite direction... hopefully.

Whatever happens, what's in-game is bound to look better than DH's material, even if they follow that design to a T.AwesomeName wrote...
That's true - but how Wrex and Akimbo-Garrus looked is rather immaterial regarding how they would make a female turian when they've already made one... And, imho, they actually did a good job with the female turians.

Just a note to how these things sometimes work: I cannot confirm whether or not things work this way for Bioware properties! These are based on anecdotal evidence from people I've known who have worked on non-Bioware game/comic tie-ins!
Usually the comic writer is given some guidelines. Something like "Turian women don't have breats, have shorter fringe." If the IP in general is tightly controlled (like WoW), the artist won't be allowed to show or use anything that doesn't already have a pre-determined dev-approved design bible. If something is more loosely controlled, the artists will be given guidelines, as described above.
There is sometimes little-to-no review time between the comic pages being delivered and the date they need to be finalized. At GDC, I heard some devs talk about tie-in comics and novels that directly contradicted their current lore, but went to print anyway, because the time and cost associated with changing the comic was more than it was worth to have some minor lore details remain consistent. (One dev actually said "If you've read any of our tie-in novels, I'm sorry.") I'd guess that Bioware has a level of control over their comics that is significantly lower than at Blizzard, but higher than the average game company. So while that design may be "approved," I'd say "approved for the comic" does not necessarily equal "approved final development design."
I doubt if they would have mentioned having issues designing female turians in that video if they had a finalized design, and it was the Dark Horse one. It just doesn't make sense to do that, from a marketing, community, or design statndpoint. So I expect the "final" design to share some descriptive qualities with the Dark Horse version (shorter fringe, wider waist, no breasts), but not to echo it completely.
In other words, I expect Female Turians to look as much like the Dark Horse version as Jacob Taylor looks like Jacob Taylor:
Only in the opposite direction... hopefully.

Because ugly = cool?
I don't mind such inconsistency when getting something fixed. I hope they won't simply change the male turian's head morph and say it's a female... I expect that but I still hope it won't happen.

... resembles this...

... then I'm cool with it.
1. Short fringe
2. Wide hips
3. No boobs
Yes, I can deal with it.

Pretty much - but more because consistency is cool. Why do you think it's inconsistent?

I'm saying that it would be inconsistent to change how female turians look drasticaly (yes, to apeal to average human male's taste) and that I wouldn't mind it at all in this case. Perhaps it's because I consider the comic that introduced them a waste of paper and would preffer if it never happened, and no, not only because I don't like how they made the female turians. It is also possible I would defy anything that was in it, even if the female turians would look decent.

Yeah, that was really my only beef with the design...CulturalGeekGirl wrote...
(I would prefer if that shorter fringe, or some kind of visible plating, does cover the top of their heads even if it doesn't extend far past it, simply because on a radiation-heavy planet, that is the part that needs the most protection. It's why bald men have to use sunblock on their heads, whereas I can go hatless all summer.)

Seems to be the unwritten rule at BioWare that every female, regardless of race, must have wide hips.
