I really love how neat you made the body fuse to the cowl there! I'm still having a ton of trouble with that, sigh. Beautiful colony markings as well.
The most frequent markings I think, are the ones sported by Sidonis. I've seen many turians wearing those.
I was thinking about the colours though, I'd have to guess, looking at the few examples there are that they are set in a standard colour for each planet/colony. White, blue, red etc. I think I'll stick to that in the future.
You know about this site, right? Very helpful when designing markings.
No idea on colors myself...though I do wonder if maybe it could be related to citizenship teir? I noticed all C-Sec turians had blue markings if I remember right, for instance. Though that may not be right as Garrus went way up in the teirs and his marking colors didn't change (though that would be so he would recongizable). It's still unclear if those markings are actual tattoos or they paint them on every morning (what happened to Garrus seems to suggest tattoos...as he never did 'redo' them after getting half is face blown off).
Oh yes, I know about that site...or at least one very similar to it. The imagines seem bigger on this one. Either way I need to bookmark it....*does that now*
Hm, well that's also an interesting idea. I've read some nice ideas in the same direction, that young children or even babies might have a simplified version of the adult markings. That would make sense since I picture their faces (and fringes etc) would have totally different proportions and be a lot smaller than on an adult.
Ha ha, I was reading this really awesome fic last week by the way, explaining how every basic training recruit was given a uniform of a certain colour depending on his or her background and skills. And there were a select few blue ones. As it turned out, and as Garrus learned, the blue ones were exclusively presented to those recruits asking what the colours meant.
Yes I think you prove the point nicely both about the tier thing and whether or not they're tatoos or just applied paint. No idea how you tattoo bone in the frist place, perhaps it's more like etching? And I'm quite sure the ME codex on turians uses the word 'tattoo' somewhere, or at least an official BioWare source somewhere does.
Right, it's really neat, I spend a lot of time there just admiring the markings and the faces.
LOL a 'you ask too many questions' uniform!
Well, I don't think tattooing for them is much harder than it is for us, as their carapace isn't really protective against projectiles. In fact, 'carapace' is likely the wrong word to use, as it implies a hard shell, but it's probably best word we have. Tatting the mandible probably would still hurt like a dickens though, depending on what the structure underneath is like (bone, cartilige? *shrug*)
I dunno why but I always found androgyny kind of appealing. That pose is adorable too, shyness is so d'awww
