Wow, that is a really well done picture. Makes her seem pretty confident, too.
^ Liara seems to have gotten a lot more mature and confident in ME3. And I thought I like how she matured in LotSB. 
She matured even more in ME3 in a lot of ways. Her face seems a little different..like it lost baby fat or something;P Its more mature and angular. She has also gotten a lot more shapely, and even a bit muscular. She looks like she could give you one heck of a roundhouse kick;P
New picture idea! Liara doing kickboxing! ;P
Her confidence has also increased as well, like you said. She knows she has a job to do, and dosent fool around. She sometimes can become a bit absorbed in her work, and may come off as distant at times. But I think this goes with her prior MO, having earned a PHD and all at a time when most Asari are still partying. Also, she seems always be one who is ready to perserver and push forward. For example, I like the scene just after Mars where she is yelling at your Shepard with "Kaidain needs Medical attention! We need to Leave the Sol system!", like she was telling Shepard to snap out of it. Or even how she helps to console a Paragon Shepard. I liked that back and forth help they gave eachother. It was like Shepard needed to seek comfort with her a little bit. That made them seem more like their on an even playing feild.
buutt..i think im starting to rant
Oh, definitely. I think I mentioned some of this in an earlier post, but I love her character development in LotSB and ME3. She
is a lot more confident, yet it doesn't seem out of character. It actually feels like a natural progression from the character she was in ME1 - to the point, at many times, especially aboard the Normandy when she's just talking to Shepard, she'll wind down and more of that softer side of her comes out.
But she's not weak - what I love about her relationship with Shepard is that it actually comes across as equal. Many times Liara will step up and try to support Shepard, and be the strong one in the relationship, it's not just Shep taking advantage of her. Liara will confront Shepard and actually try to get at how he's really feeling and try to be there for him emotionally, just as Shepard can be there for her when she needs it. There's a lot of chemistry between them, and it fits.
I certainly appreciate that she's become stronger, too, without going overboard and becoming a shallow badass femme fatale - instead she has a strength that fits her, without being over the top and lame. She can take charge when she needs to, she can hold her own, and she can be independent, but she's not completely above connecting to other people and getting help from them.
