I will be perfectly honest, when looking at this in depth, I thought it was a cosplayer. If that is a scratch rendered model, I cannot describe how impressive that is. I'm still not convinced its an actual person.My only nitpicks are ones of my own preference. When I was trying to picture Tali's cranial construction, one thing I draw on is the similarities between Tali and Merrill from Dragon Age. Namely I feel like Quarian heads and Dalish heads are almost identical. Small cranium on a long, slender neck. If you look at the ME1 variant of Tali, the slender neck is more visible. And the smaller head size makes sense, I think, for the space that Tali's head, plus helmet/mask, plus hajib takes up in the game. If her head were a full sized human head plus the helmet and hood, I feel it would look a bit goofy. But thats just my opinion.I've always had an opinion on Tali's eyes, A lot of people tend to make them just white. I actually like to think they are violet, maybe a magenta shade. And I've always felt that her eyes glow a bit...simply because we can see her eyes through the mask in game.Only other thing I can say is that I am a proponent of the pale-violet skin tone. I feel like it goes with the rest of race. But again, there has been evidence on both sides of that theory.Those are all my own nitpicks, I didn't factor them into my ratings. You obviously have a decent mastery of this technique, and its one I can't really pass judgement on since its been so long since I did any sort of 3d rendering myself. I nicked one star on Originality because I have seen a lot of Tali-unmasked renders that are bit too human for my liking. I know the fluff states that Quarians are the closest to humans in appearance, but I've never really felt like that was a very creative idea on the behalf of Bioware to begin with. I do like the more unique renders of Tali because of it.Of course this critique comes from someone who likes looking at other people's renders, and doesn't really have the skill to make one himself, so take my opinions with a grain of salt. This is an excellent render of an excellent Character. Well done.
