Go for the Opticsby `OchreJelly

Fan Art / Digital Art / Painting & Airbrushing / Games

Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes! Er, I mean...

Yeah, I know, the title is totally wrong for the somber mood in the painting, but I just felt like it.

For the uninitiated, this is a bit of fanart of Tali'Zorah from the Mass Effect series of games. Besides my obvious nerdy fanboyism of which I am entirely unapologetic about, there's not much to tell. In the games you don't see her (or any quarian) face, so I wanted to try and paint it without giving it all away, for better or for worse. It's mostly just the eyes and nose.

Not too much different between the previous WIP in my journal and the final version. Just needed a few extra bits, but I really didn't find the time or energy to get to it until now. Also, I should have tried to work the combat drone into the piece but that'd have been a bit more akward.

Painter 9, didn't keep track of time.

Next up, Blasto, the Hanar Spectre! Or maybe not.

Edit: Oh, and just to clarify something, quarians also only have 2 large fingers and a thumb.

High-fives must be difficult...

Moar Edits: I decided to fix up the two things that were bugging me about this picture, randomly. I sort of refined the hand on the railing, and adjusted the right-hand and arm size a little. Also a little bit of general refinement overall.

Your art is being used by someone else. [link] It appears he's stealing from several people, I didn't see any credit being given. I apologize if you already knew about this and I'm being dumb.

Thanks for letting me know. It's not a huge deal to me given how it's fanart but some credit would have been preferred.

I am reminded in the best way possible of Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for the original Star Wars films. Kudos.

That's really kind of you to say, though I can't help but feel there's no way to compare myself to McQuarrie's talent. But thanks, it means a lot.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
