I think I figured it out on my own.
Yep, not too hard to figure out...but what was funny about it was, it was based on one offhanded comment from one person and all of the sudden it was banners and everything. But I guess that's how memes start in general...
But seriously I will forget the original artwork some day, but never forget Xsause's pic. Good grief, I am easily amused.
To get this topic back on Garrus, Pacifien started a topic in the main forum on keeping the aliens in ME--well,
alien. To that end, he suggested a number of differences that could apply to the ME aliens that would render them different from what we are used to now. One was, what if the turians used a blade to pry off their old scales? Kind of like snakes shedding their skin against a rock or animals with exoskeletons molting, to give a couple analogies. I could dig that happening. After all, humans (and presumably other animals) completely replace their skin layers every-so-many-number-of-days. Wouldn't turians have to do the same thing? Then why does Kuril look so wrinkled? Did he not replace his scales, or do they grow in that way past a certain age? And I think the lack of wrinkles on Garrus points towards his being in his early 30's at the latest, if they live something like a human lifespan. Discuss. :happy:
