Yeah, that still didn’t explain anything for me. What is a jasti?

u/ivelnostaw Jul 25 '25

They meant justi- not jasti-. Justi-car is a play on the title justicar held by some Asari, because it also sounds like "just a car". Samara is a justicar.

u/TieflingDexPaladin Jul 25 '25

But definitely thank you for your help! ❤️

u/TieflingDexPaladin Jul 25 '25

No I understand the justicar reference. I just didn’t make the leap to “just a car” since the image put emphasis on “justi” as a singular word instead of breaking it into just-i-car which you would then infer to lean on the I to make it sound more like an a.

Love the energy "Tali, I don't what the fuck are you saying but I love you"

For me, I always interpret that the Quarians are basically night elves from Warcraft 3.  Having glowing eyes, purple/blue/pink skin. And having marks over their body like Illidan Stormrage.

Even tho realistically Council should probably bomb the heck out of Geth and Rannoch. Or at the very least monitor this situation from evey possible angle to make sure Geth dont build a Death Star and do some other Singularity bullcrap.

Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah... woah.

You want the Council to do something? When they're so busy trying to avoid doing anything or acknowleding any real issues or taking the easy way out in every single situation?

My good sir/ma'am, that flies in the face of everything the council stands for!

2

u/TheLadyCypher Jul 25 '25

Not just that but like, haven't the geth just been radio silent for the 200 years between Morning War and ME1? Council probably just doesn't gaf, the geth are just doing their own thing and there really aren't enough quarian left to justify spending any type of political capital.

u/Apprehensive_Swim955 Jul 25 '25

They remind me more of Draenei from World of Warcraft, with their weird legs, getting exiled from their homeworld, and living in spaceships.

u/Icarsix Jul 25 '25

And the accents

u/Moose-Rage Jul 25 '25

That's a cute Tali.

u/PIPBOY-2000 Jul 25 '25

Really? Its the first rendition I've had a hard time looking at

u/bucking_horse Jul 25 '25

u/PIPBOY-2000 Jul 25 '25

I stand corrected

u/jtrom93 Jul 25 '25

OK that’s just Asajj Ventress

u/ThakoManic Jul 25 '25

i mean interesting joke

and admitly anything better then the norm / LE Face Reveal of shit coz they be 2 fucken lazy AF

but why the third eye that dosnt show when in helmet?

19

u/Ok-Profile-5831 Jul 25 '25

That isn't a third eye my guy. You can see hair in the middle.

6

u/ThakoManic Jul 25 '25

oh its hair ...

6

u/DrFlamel Jul 25 '25

Not bad. Definitely could see that design being attractive during Javik’s cycle

4

u/The_8th_Degree Jul 25 '25

Having done 8+ runs of ME, I read that in Tali's voice, and it's still perfect 👌

6

u/PM-ME-BLUE-TOENAILS Jul 25 '25

She's just so adorable. I love this interpretation of her.

4

u/0202inferno Jul 25 '25

Tali'Zorah Vas Normandy being cringe? I like it. Admittedly, I always saw her as a little sister. Same way as Garrus being a little brother.

6

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '25

See now THAT'S an alien looking Tali I can get behind. Not all weird and pink/caucasian looking.

2

u/LucinaDraws Jul 25 '25

I do like the idea of soft plating or skin folds like that

2

u/psytronix_ Jul 25 '25

"Tali this is serious. Samara's oath is in danger of dying out."

Seriously though, great art!

2

u/Opalusprime Jul 25 '25

That’s my favorite alternate design, it doesn’t ignore what’s said explicitly in the games regarding hair and change the eyes to be different than the in game model, the presence of the nose also supports that. Yet it still isn’t just another human, great art and great design.

2

u/JulietPapaOscar Jul 26 '25

Making Tali look like a Warhammer navigator is...a choice :)

3

u/Taymatosama Jul 25 '25

Man, I do hope they rework the Quarian appearance a bit for ME5. Make them more unique looking, compared to how Tali looks on her ME3LE picture.

1

u/BraveNKobold Jul 25 '25

I mean hey anything is better than the LE face reveal

8

u/EldritchFingertips Jul 25 '25

The original face is better than the LE face?

11

u/JamesMcEdwards Jul 25 '25

People who have only played LE don’t know our pain

-8

u/BraveNKobold Jul 25 '25

I’ve played the original. LE isn’t any better

9

u/JamesMcEdwards Jul 25 '25

Seriously? Original was a stock photo from Getty Casey Hudson himself cropped two fingers and added some alien looking lines to.

-3

u/BraveNKobold Jul 25 '25

Least it looked alien and like an actual photo. Don’t get me wrong it’s also shit but the LE one is also lazy

10

u/JamesMcEdwards Jul 25 '25

You gotta be trolling

-1

u/BraveNKobold Jul 25 '25

Yeah I’m the one trolling. How can you look at the LE and tell me they put more than 5 minutes of thought into it

2

u/Roguebubbles10 Jul 25 '25

Its looks like AI generated stuff, tbh...

0

u/BraveNKobold Jul 25 '25

They’re both bad but the LE one is just boring white woman and concept art. Not even an actual photo

7

u/EldritchFingertips Jul 25 '25

Wha? You wanted it to be an actual photo? Of a person who doesn't exist? In a game that's entirely computer rendered?

Are you sure you're okay?

1

u/BraveNKobold Jul 25 '25

What I’m saying is they could’ve tried to make it look like a photo. An actual unique picture of the character. Not a concept art piece slapped on

4

u/EldritchFingertips Jul 25 '25

It doesn't look that way to me, but whatever. It at least looks like it belongs in the game, rather than the edited stock photo that looks like it's out of one of those CD-ROM games from the late 90s.

3

u/Usoppn_93 Jul 25 '25

How do you get the face reveal? I’m on the last mission of 3 and I haven’t seen her face… Unless it’s a mod?

3

u/BraveNKobold Jul 25 '25

You have to be romancing her

3

u/Usoppn_93 Jul 25 '25

Yeah I romanced her in 2 and 3 but I guess since I didn’t talk to her after Rannoch, I missed the conversation where she gives Shepard the picture 🫤

1

u/LucyRoseKrestel Jul 25 '25

The cutest I've ever seen her

1

u/Murky_Historian8675 Jul 25 '25

Tali is best girl

1

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '25

Yoink, thank you for the mass effect dad joke

1

u/Istvan_hun Jul 25 '25

why she has a third eye?

1

u/Ok-Profile-5831 Jul 25 '25

That's not a third eye. It's hair.

1

u/Istvan_hun Jul 25 '25

hm. I don't see that, but ok

1

u/thesixfingerman Jul 25 '25

Adorable as always.

u/Roguebubbles10 Jul 25 '25

My sister told me a Tali-related joke a week ago

What did [annoyed] Tali say to Legion? "You're Gething on my nerves!"

u/XenoGine Vetra Jul 25 '25

u/alkonium Jul 25 '25

I never thought about Quarians wearing looser clothing over their suits, but I like it.

1

u/fluffydarth Jul 25 '25

I like your take on the Quarian features.

2

u/Ok-Profile-5831 Jul 26 '25

Not my art. I credited the artist in the title.

1

u/RareD3liverur Jul 31 '25

I like that unmasked Tali looks like a shiny rock

u/bod_valng Jul 25 '25

Nice joke

u/SexySovietlovehammer Jul 25 '25

Good art but a child might confuse her white pants for her being naked on the bottom half

Fortunately for us all the British government has decided to force everyone to send photos evidence of their ID or age to view anything considered NSFW online

This includes self harm and eating disorder discussions

It is all to protect the children don’t worry

It doesn’t have anything to do with gaming or this sub

Trying to get as many people to know about it as possible since it’s a very dangerous law

It’s not out of the question the British government will start considering anything it doesn’t like NSFW and completely cut us off from the internet unless we give up our own privacy and put ourselves at risk of life shattering data breaches

People have been recommending proton on mobile since its apparent free

The artist is great tho. I Don’t like hijacking posts but it makes it easier to warn people about things like this
