Tali'Zorah

Project done as a collaboration with the amazing Renato Aruffo.

After the Necromancer project, I wanted to make a simpler and smaller project. I realized that I haven't done a lot of scifi work in the past, so I decided to change that. I felt like a Mass Effect fan art was in order. I love the game, and I love Tali. I always have her in my squads. Also, seeing as her face is hidden and there is no visible hair either, I felt like she was perfect for a simpler project. I used a Mass Effect concept art image for the background both to put her in a believable environment and as an homage to the amazing ME trilogy.
Renato came a bit later in the project and helped me set her up in Unreal and basically made her look great. It was great to work with him in this project!
I'm very happy with the end result of the project, hope you like it!
