Hey all,


And after last week's entry exploring an alien chick from a new franchise, we return this week to again one we've already seen before, Mass Effect.

Turians to be exact and if you've somehow looked past the title and image, though you'd be somewhat forgiven if you're not familiar with Mass Effect and so don't even know what  Turian even is. And as with the previous entry from the franchise, I am still not overly familiar myself.

In the Mass Effect wiki article they are described as somewhat bird like and looking like a missing link between birds and reptiles that went bipedal and upright. (they of course aren't a missing link, they're aliens) But to be perfectly honest, I don't really see it, to me they look more like reptilian cat-insect hybrids, what with the mouth and nose and the carapace exoskeleton looking biz and all that. There's very little bird going on there is what I'm saying.


Which brings me to where to categorize them and boy are they a doozy. They are humanoid for sure, but large parts of their external (and internal) anatomy is fairly beastly, but not quite monstrous. And with the reptilian look and slightly feline face there is an argument to be made for the furry or scaly category as well.

So should they be pure humanoids like the Protoss and T'au? Monster-girls like the Yautjah? Furry? Scaly?

I think Furry is quite easily dismissed, as there's no friggen fur on 'em, and a slightly feline facial structure really isn't enough.

Scaly? Well they are reptilian looking for sure, but they don't exactly resemble any known reptile. And again, no scales.

In the end I think I will go for Monster-girl, as they really are too off-looking to be considered traditionally beautiful by most people methinks, so pure humanoid doesn't quite cut it.


I've also had to lewd them up quite considerably, as they lack any visible sexual features (primary and secondary) or bits of anatomy that  resemble them. 


SoCarter out.

I appreciate that you did a good job of adding sex appeal to a race that normally doesn't have a lot of "traditional" sexual charm, but I do kind of see the bird thing. Not in having feathers or a beak, but more... the way their body is streamlined, graceful. Gives the impression of being lighter than its size. And while I see you couldn't resist slappin' some tiddy on there (not complaining because I like tiddy), I do like that you captured some of that, keeping those high legs and adding emphasis to powerful hips and thighs. You took up a more-challenging test and mostly succeeded is what I'm getting at, and I appreciate it.
