Interestingly, the suit gives us an indication of Tali’s status and the timeline point of the Mass Effect series.
I don’t think I’ve ever drawn a character without a face either – I waited till the pencil went blunt to try and get the opaque look for the mask. To reflect this, their suits appear to be constructed from various fabrics, possibly scrap materials. The Quarian race are all about salvage and pride themselves on their ability to mend and make use of items that other races would throw away. This was challenging to draw, thanks to all the textures in Tali’s suit. As the Quarian lost their home world Rannoch, they live about a Migrant Fleet of ships and, thanks to their weakened immune systems, they’re forced to wear protective masks and full body suits. When she first encounters Commander Shepard, she’s on a rite of passage known as the Pilgrimage for which she left her birth ship to explore the galaxy and bring back something that will benefit her people. Tali is intelligent and loyal with a real desire to prove herself. What can I say, except that I love this character and her background.
Keelah se’lai! Tali’Zorah – armed and dangerous.
