Gary I Hate Rendering

I recently started playing Eliza in @bfleuter‘s custom Blades in the Dark setting, and the aesthetic/worldbuilding is so cool I kinda went nuts designing outfits and friend/rival npcs… I kinda rushed to finish these, because her backstory got cracked open sooner than I expected and the crew’s already met her sibling… and doppelgänger… Things moving quick Sorry all I post lately is Eliza…

Funnily enough I prefer YOUR Tali over bioshocks in ME3 I think? She actually properly looks like an alien from a planet where they didn't adapt an immune system

thank you! (and lol I'll assume you meant Bioware-- although a steampunk-aesthetic Tali is a very cool mental image.)

some things about how my Tali looks are definitely a result of living nearly her whole life sealed inside an exosuit and dealing with regular bouts of minor illness (at one point she mentions working while having a fever like it's something quarians just deal with). Pre-exile quarians, and post-canon quarians who have had some time to get re-acclimated to their home planet's ecosystem, would look a bit different. I did a couple lil sketches to hypothesize about some differences between my Tali during the games' timeline, and a post-canon Tali who's spent a few years on Rannoch:

there's no place like home.

(the spots of pigment on her face are made more colorful, and even softly bioluminescent, by harmless symbiotic bacteria found only on Rannoch. After the quarians fled into space after the Geth War, the bacteria died out in a generation; for over two hundred years, the only quarians with colorful faces were ancestors in old vids and pictures.)

recent asks 'n' vibes got me in the mood to toss some loose shading and colors onto a few old Tali sketches. The top drawing is an old framed picture (uh, I mean... framed... hologram) that Rael'Zorah has on his work desk where he does dangerous taboo science.

Can I have an OC fact? As a treat? Pick one you wanna talk about most right now and... fun lil trivia? I love your characters so much and can't pick a favorite to request

Aw thank you! (Also lol thank you to everyone who did ask me about my OCs, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to answer your asks!)

Since I just drew them again yesterday in that lil comic, I'll share another fun trivia about Kesh'Vataar nar Zakah, my nonbinary quarian OC. This is what they look like under their helmet!

my quarians have very subtle facial features, but I still don't want to let that make me slip into drawing them all with the same face. I wanted Kesh to look "cooler" than how I draw Tali, so they have narrower eyes and a more oval face with prominent cheekbones-- but also a cute spray of “freckles” across their nose.

also, I think I mentioned this a long time ago, but their outfit is a mix of elements from male and female quarian outfits in-game. I feel like even though we only saw binary-presenting quarians in the series, there's no reason why there can't be other quarian genders. Kesh isn't unusual among their people-- at least, not for their gender identity. The having-a-crush-on-a-volus thing is definitely unusual.

Using the good ol' Fantasy Cyberpunk Generator to get back in the drawing motions.

ayyyyyy come look at my fucked up OC

Amalgams are mobile platforms that consist of stacked colonies of microscopic entities informally known as demons, which are bonded parasitically to the body of a magician. A byproduct of magic use on or near significant quantities of standing water, demons spontaneously swarm puddles or lakes in the presence of magical energy. They crave and feed on magic, which also appears to have a cohesive effect on them: normally individualistic, single-cell-like demons will bond together while feeding and create larger and more intuitive beings.

While demons largely ignore normal humans (although ingestion of contaminated water may result in severe health problems), they will aggressively pursue magicians, who often avoid and fear water for this reason. Demons are highly parasitic in nature, and contact with bare skin will result in them burrowing into and anchoring themselves to the body of the magic user, where they will remain, feeding off their latent energy. While smaller sites of contamination on the limbs can be localized and easily removed, the same cannot be said for the unfortunate magician who falls into a teeming lake of demons.
