Hey if we're posting some old art, I'm gonna repost some of my favorites, too.

First, my favorite. An old one from before ME3 came out - I think it's a great look at what Thessia and Asari culture could be like. It's an amazing contrast to the Thessia we saw in ME3, and really makes me want to explore this Thessia. Looks like a damn paradise.



Next, just a really cool picture of Liara as the Shadow Broker. Really interesting clothing she's got on, too.



finally, what I use as my desktop background. I like it for similar reasons to the Thessia picture - it's a glimpse into casual living for an Asari like Liara, with a great view of Illium.

this is the Human Skin without fluff



Liara : watch the skin, for me its just more like a human, but the skin plot its more big respect the human skin, and  have more  pigments by different gradient.

The first picture is zoomed very close in, while the one of Liara clearly is not, if you put a picture of human skin at the same zoom level it would no longer resemble Liara's. I am not saying that asari actually possesses scales since that is an entirely different kind of biological construction, but her skin is far more akin to the texture of fine and delicate snake scales than of human skin.

Edit:


And while not a greeat picture the difference is clearer here.

Is it only me that finds ridiculous comparing snakes with liara LOL liara looks FINE this "alien" skin makes her look great just drop it
The Shadow Broker broker picture is nice

[lillitheris]

Yeah, snake scales aren't like fish scales much at all. It's basically skin. BUT, that's I think pretty clearly not what the asari skin is (not to mention there'd probably be a note about that in the codex, no? It'd be pretty obvious.)

Once again, here's some leather:

I don't think Liara's skin are scales. Nah scale have many layers, Liara's skin is just like human skin with big cells.

-What would you do if you found Liara next to you in the morning?
- First, I look around to check where my Shepard is. Bad idea to wake up with Liara if my Shep is nearby XD. Second, I touch her head crest. Third, if I were in Shep's shoes this time, I would silently hug her and let her sleep.

Yuss! Excellent examples of exactly what I was talking about!

Have you ever actually looked at reptile scales, at all? They overlap. Just google "snake scales" and look at any image, they "overlap".
Not sure if you being difficult just to be difficult or if you actually making statements before doing any research on the subject. /uploads_user/1070000/1069890/137358.gif

I've owned two snakes. I just don't think we're using overlapping to mean the same thing.

Grimwick wrote...

I personally see it as snake texture... but made similarly to human skin!

Though if that seems too weird it is more scaly than human.

This I can buy. Not exactly like a snakes, not exactly like a humans. I just don't buy that it's blue human flesh. That's what it seemed to be in the first two games, and why go through all this effort of making it so much higher res and detailed than human flesh if it's still supposed to be blue human flesh?

Ok, having owned 2 snakes in the past doesn't mean you know anything about them.
Here is a comparison I just pieced together that should make it really clear that Liara's skin is not "scales".



On the left you will see a closeup of the scales on an Anaconda, on the right you see a closeup of Liara's skin.
On the Anaconda I had highlighted the overlapping edges and the general direction of the overlap. This is typical of all reptiles, and though it may be difficult to see, even beaded lizards have overlapping scales.
Now look at Liara's skin texture again, see any similarities? If say yes, then you either need your eyes checked or your reality checked, because they are nothing alike.
Liara's skin appears to look similar to skin commonly found on thick skinned mammals like Rhino or Elephant.

I'd probably go with the underbelly of a snake or skin,  you know the smooth slick skin that gets made into leather, than i would liken it to actual scales.

also sunnie nice new avatar

Well, thats also not even close to reality.

In this pic you see the underside of a snake. The scales are very wide and short, but they still overlap. This overlap and the ability to modulate the amount of overlap between the segments is what allows snakes to motivate themselves.
 
As for the avatar, its not new, just havent used it for a long time, but thanks anyway! /uploads_user/1070000/1069890/194297.gif

Well since we don't really seem to agree (or Aristobulus and I are not agreeing with the rest of you at least) I would say that everyone has their opinions of what her skin feels like, none better or worse than another, though so far Shepard is the only human to know.
And indeed perhaps we should move on.

@Marshal, nice ones I can't remember seeing them before.

[Aristobulus500]

So, the conclusion of your argument is Liara feels like a rhino or elephant and has really rough skin.

Alright, if that's what you want to go with.

I didn't say that, nor did I even imply it. Or, are you now just being an ass because I have presented real proof that your "scale" theory is incorrect?

[Neeh]

This is even worse than the chicken incident!

So quick to bust out the sick nasty insults you forgot what you said already?

[CmdrSlander]

Here's something to ponder:

Is Liara religious?

I ask this because I was replaying the Tuchanka mission and she said "Goddess be with them" about the Turian pilots as they headed towards the Reaper. Her saying "Goddess" as an expression, as many Asari do (even though few still follow Athame) is normal, but there's a big difference between saying "Oh My God!" (in human culture anyway) and "God be with you" the former is normal even in non-religious persons, but the latter usually denotes strong faith on the part of the speaker.

Where does it say that her skin feels like a Rhino or Elephant? Let me highlight some keywords for you to help you understand and  so you can stop making yourself look really bad.

The text in red is a similarity in appearance, the text in yellow is indicating that what follows are examples.

Mmmmmkay? Lets just leae it at that.

Gosh! Chicken, lizard, snake, fish, cabbage, elephant, rhino... Ok, the cabbage thing was fun. But can we just stop this.

[LiquidGrape]

Liara has obviously just fallen asleep on a knotted rug.

Duh.

I think Liara is religious, and she talks alot about religion in ME1 and throughout the series - I don't think she's deeply religious, like she doesn't seem to feel she needs to perform any rituales or rites or anything. But I think she believes on a casual basis.

It's a little hard to say. I would've liked that to be more fleshed out - I feel if Thessia had more missions, this is a part of Liara and the Asari that could've gotten more depth.

[Obsidian Gryphon]

On the subject of skin, I'm wondering if Asari are more sensitive to touch. Akin to the Protheans except that they can't really read off so precisely of course but they could possibly be affected by what they sense. I dunno, I get this impression because when Shep and Liara met on Mars, they just do their special hand dance, no peck on the cheek, etc. I thought it most curious but strangely tender moment. They did it again in London. And that woman and Asari on the Citadel, woman wanting to tell hubby about their affair, they were holding each other's hands. Which would have been nothing unqiue if it not were for Shep and Liara's 'hand dancing'.  

Sorry if I'm fumbling and bumbling and if it has been discussed before. I only wish there are categories within a thread.

I always wondered this, but people of science arn't usually very religious. I thought of it like the Asari version of "Oh god.." Maybe there was a time when she was jealous of Benezias 'religion' and used the expression to get attention from her mother, and then it just stuck.

Btw PMC updated,and it's hillarious. Especially this line:

 "I don't care if you believe I'm a figment of your imagination, you need to tell me how you got up there so we can get your ass down and you can find the nearest strip joint to make dancy-dancy!"

I lol'd The whole chapter is both serious, funny, and blends together really well.

I'm just going to stay far away from the Skin issue.( Lets try not to reach 'Tali's-Sweat' levels of creepy.)
