Ok can someone tell me how to post pictures, please. I found some Liara ones I wanted to share but when I tried just the link posted, not the picture.

that's not a negative.

Don't know these have been posted already.











Thanks to Jebel Krong for telling me how to correctly post images.

Guys thanks for the support with the painting and with providing me the pictures. I'll inform you when it will be ready.

What's really interesting about the asari is how remarkably their bodies resemble human womens, for an alien species who would have been in existance lightyears before life on earth even emerged from the primordial ooze. Perhaps they were designed that way due to being monogendered, able to impregnate and become pregnant. They do carry and birth their young like mammals do so this would also be a good reason why they resemble women so much I guess:whistle: I wonder how asari regulate their body temperature though as they do not sweat like other mammals do or perhaps due to their  natural biotic makeup this is proberly not that big of a problem and also the alien factor too^_^

Yes, yes. Convenient shorthand for all intents and purposes as opposed to being reptiles or fish with their typical characteristics.

Why would anyone want to give a psychopathic renegade, or rather why would a renegade want children and marriage you sick, twisted, peer pressuring, paragons *grins* - god those poor kids if that should ever come to pass
Too much stress and complication with those commitments, they get in the way of things, and ren!shep is all ready unstable.  Theyre (Liara and Ren!Shep) really just friends with benefits - that have gotten comfortable (if not preferential) to each other's company (call it love if you must or just a tame version of stockholm syndrome, i do not care) - so hard to train decent partners these days.... 
Different mind wave lengths, different desires.

Wouldent a modified sweat glad that produces milk technically be called a Mammary gland, where the word mammal takes it root? Is that not one of the defining characteristics of a mammal, even if their from space? If they need those they also most likely give live birth and all that. They also seem endothermic, as in I dont see them looking for a sun lamp, and cold blooded is less effective then warm blood in a creature so I dont see why they would evolve that way.

You might even say their eyelashes are hair.  So what does that leave..3 middle ear bones? Sweat glands seem possible and they seem to have teeth similar to humans.

They seem pretty darn close to mammals if anything. And aquatic traits could go with that too, that most people atribute to the Asari, as there are aquatic mammals too, and they are fairly "sleek" looking in real life and I think fins are mostly cartilidge based like the head fringe. Seems to fit closer then anything else I can think of.  

PS. I Had an idea, that If Asari dont sweat, they still need to cool off somehow. So perhaps they could have a form of Thermoelectric cooling (http://en.wikipedia....lectric_cooling), and that could be related to how they control electrical singals and their bodies, since they do so already to control their biotics and melding.

Now this picture below is just bad taste and pretty silly IMO, show us your true form asari:sick: Before I get ripped a new one this is just for s*its and giggles, I don't agree with this artist;) Also resent that whole mind rape argument Liara haters shove down our throats:devil:

That makes no sense, we see statures, video and pictures of asari (specifically the statue of Athame, video footage of Aethetya and the picture of Liara) and they look perfectly like how we see them in the game, so unless a static representation of an asari would also affect perceptions (which would make even less sense) what we see is how they actually look.
Beyond that any partner of an asari would in all likelihood touch her face and be able to tell whether the feel of her face matches how she is percieved.

@Asch: yes those have been posten before but they are very velcome nontheless.

@Crimson: please don't post stuff like that

Different features have different importance in different cultures. So if head adornments are important to Turians then that is a feature that will stand out to them, and so on. That's as far as I thought they were going with the bachelor party scene. Seems others read more into it.

current classification includes some species that pre-date usual soft-tissue preservation, so we don't know if the mammary glands were fully evolved by then.

but yes you are right - ear bone structure and genetics are considered, too - the latter certainly would preclude asari classification as mammals by itself, surely?

the skin certainly isn't usual mammalian standard (by me3 at least), cooling could have something to do with the cartilaginous head-adornment? (although i kinda liked someone's earlier in the thread postulation of eezo nodules)

Well I guess what I was trying to say was that even if not technically mammalian like Earth mammal in each criterion, they just seem to be most similar to that "Earth" type. The Eezo influence on Thessian life could do who knows what to evolution on their planet.

But I dunno, you dont see any mammal traits in the skin? It kinda seems like zoomed in human skin, almost like Leather with those crissed crossed lines to me. Though your right, it seems to have its own pattern (Asari skin) that is slightly different compaired to human skin.

And yes, Ive had the thought of the head fringe acting as a cooling device and even posted it a couple times, even said there could be ezoo nodes along it too, so maybe that was me . It seems to have increased surface area to act that way, and human ears act to cool our blood, so I just thought it would make sence.

I’m sitting on a sofa right now that looks exactly like the ME3 asari skin, except it’s black.

I never liked the Sith Lord/Terminator motif they introduced in ME2 for those wanting to play on the Dark Side…but can we seriously keep the femsheps mostly in the femshep thread?

[Jebel Krong]

i liked liara's skin in me3 - it was more... alien? i thought it was more snake-like than anything else i can think of. the ear structure is also bird/reptile reminiscent (someone did previously mention the lack of lobes would make asari hearing worse - it wouldn't, though it could affect the ability to perceive certain ranges, again similar to birds as a convenint analogue).

@ Ajosraa: could well have been your posts i read along those lines. it's good thinking - i'm sure they must be functional in some way.

Indeed, as I said they could easily hear just as well or better than humans, we simply don't really know much about asari physiology etc.

Overall I think she's got the best written romance arc in the series.

That isn't to say it isn't without flaws however, just that I think it is the best of the bunch. I didn't like that in ME3 that Liara still refers to Shepard as a friend, though I can come up with head canon to explain it. I

I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but I also wasn't a big fan of the reveal in Mass Effect 1 that Liara is a virgin. Just about every Bioware RPG that has characters that are romanceable by the protagonist, has at least one that is shy and virginal. Mass Effect has two. Meh...I'd rather Bioware  gave characters who are supposed to be adult women life experiences that most adult women have.

That's understandable, but I don't think it's unreasonable that Liara is a virgin in ME1 - look at the way she's lived her life. She intentionally essentially exiled herself to always being on ancient ruins and digsites, and she doesn't even have a team or any coworkers with her, with which she could form a bond with. She's very much a loner and puts herself outside of society, and it's also easy to guess that in her college days, she spent it constantly studying and never really going out and doing much, also not being one for huge social gatherings or something.

So what part of her life really leaves room for being outgoing enough to have had a good chance of meeting someone she likes enough to lose her virginity to? And Liara doesn't seem the type to just give it up to anyone, too.
