Turian hips are great, but what I reeeeally love are their shoulders. I don't know, the turian figure is just so manly in general... At first I though their armors were too bulky and that, but I guess you can't really compare that area with human proportions...



Their head is longer, to begin with, so their whole neck structure is different, and that of course influences the chest, and shoulders. Wouldn't mind seeing different kinds of outfits, just to know them better. Or naked turian men.



I don't have any specific anatomical fetish, though. But I do know if I could touch a turian only once, just once, I would totally go for the scaley skin behind their mandibles.

I totally agree ... those broad shoulders ... mmmm. I also like their tiny waists and long fingers.

Might have been posted before, but I think this is the greatest fanart I've ever seen. If this was poster-sized in the store, I'd buy it.

RE turian structure, I like their design a lot, but I really don't understand that weird pseudo-scapula-hoodie thing going on. I wish it were gone

[Sialater]

There's some sort of bone ridge under there, I think. It's not just for the heck of it.

[koucha]

But I mean, why is it there? Why would there be bone there? What purpose does it have? Humanoid back/shoulder area looks better to me. I'd rather see more plating like from the ventral portion of a turian than a rounded out "hoodie." Even though a lot of things are designed just because it looks cool, I'd just prefer it without.

[Sialater]

I honestly don't know what the evolutionary purpose of it is since I didn't design the turians. If I had to guess, it would be a vestigial thing. Like a leftover neck shield like a triceratops used to have.

[Sialater]

To me, he looks like someone shrunk a dragon and took off the tail and wings. It would also explain the felinity of the turians since dragons are sorta cat-like.

I think it's just sketchiness. And looking through some of the concept art for ME2 has shown me that you can't really take the concept as fact, especially if it's early concept work..

Yeah, I second this.  It sucks that that one pic is the only thing we have to go on with turians sans clothes, but as long as people don't t to make turian bodies look too human-ish, I don't find it as like...sacriligeous...as some for fan artists to deviate from the concept art a little.  Like Aris said, a lot of things change between concept art (concept being the operative word here) and final product -- and since the devs have declined to paint an updated turian body underneath that armor at all (people have looked, or so I hear), we don't know what turians look like sans clothes, not officially.  I guess my point is, as with a lot of things, don't get too hung up on one painting when these turian biology debates get going...

I've always liked how Saren had a more "feral" look to his fingers and toes.

What I really want to know is why his zygomatic bones extend way beyond his face...

Mutant? Turian equivalent of the six-fingered man?

Maybe he just likes how evil they look.  Like the turian equivalent of a diabolical moustache-goatee. muwahaha.

Hope the link is right.

One of my all-time favorites.  SquidBunny used to post in this thread, actually, and showed us the works in progress for that one (the black and white version looks awesome too, you should check it out).  Guess she/he left when they started the new thread, like a lot of people did. =(.  I have to admit I might downgrade to lurking except to comment on awesome/funny stuff, it seems the conversation keeps coming full circle back to things that were already beaten to death in the first 1.5 threads because no one ever reads back.   Don't get me wrong, it's great that Garrus is getting new people for his fandom :lol: but like I said the convos are all repeats for me now.  I'll still return for the art/jokes/AMAZING resources and also to post my Garrus fanfic link when finished .

Indeed. I also think it might just have something to do with the intial ZOMG-ness of the game being released and the reveal of Garrus as a romance option dying down.  Sad as it is, the initial happyfreakouttime has worn off a little.

While I admit the initial "Garrus getting some" happiness has worn off for me, I think the whole ordeal has just revitalized my overall appreciation of Garrus. Thus, why I played an entire game of the original Mass Effect with him taking the place of my Shepard

Oh yes.  I'm still here, aren't I? (Mostly for reasons like the above: Garrus Effect.)  

And this thread has taken my GarrusLove to new (slightly frightening) heights; I've gone from nursing my addiction in quiet shame to full-blown fangirlism.  

[shnellegaming]

There is no quiet shame anymore with this group. Its all loud revelry.



I liked Garrus way back in ME1. Can't wait for ME3. Which is sad cause we now have 2 to 3 years to go. Though with how many planned characters I have it might take that long.

I feel like a total freak because of the simple fact it still hasnt worn off on me. Feels unhealthy <_<

[charles shepherd]

If you think that the Garrus love is dying down in here, you should check out /v/ on 4chan. Any given day and time, there are Tali/Garrus love threads of some sort. I hope the Devs go to that forum just to see how popular Garrus really is.

[Sialater]

I was wary of the ability to romance Garrus. A) He's not human. I'm not entirely sure how it would work. C) They did such a good job of making him seem like the younger brother/apprentice in ME1, I expected him to remain such.



Instead, we got a turian Batman.

Don't.  I wish I were there, where you're at.

Aw man, I remember the best/weirdest feeling was in the first week or so, when it still had that "This is a dream. It is way too good to be true.  I'm going to wake up and be disappointed as ****."   And then it Just.  Kept.  Going.

Hey now, we ain't dead yet. 

Plus...  Erm, I won't lie, for as long as I can remember 4chan has scared the ever-loving **** out of me.  I'm quite happy staying here and getting the best Garrus stuff second-hand from those who frequent both places.

[Sialater]

Really? To me, he seemed over-eager, almost shiny. I don't object to this, mind. I liked the character in ME1, too. I can see where he wouldn't, but to me that's how he came across.

[shnellegaming]

How do you guys think the post-mission dialogue went? I mean they had to have recorded it. I bet its in the game somewhere just never got hooked up. I wish there was a way to data-mine it.

[aznsoisauce]

Garrus seems obedient when it comes to Shepard (that's how I see it, anyway). In somewhat of a messed up way, it's a bit of a turn on.



By obedient, I'm simply referring to the trust he puts into Shepard's decisions.
