Most fan art stinks, but this is one of the best pieces we’ve ever seen – we’re talking the Mona Lisa of fan art here. This image, discovered on DeviantArt and tweeted by one of developer BioWare’s artists, captures the essence of Mass Effect 2’s Tali’﷽Zorah perfectly: She is young, but her eyes give off a striking intelligence coupled with a warm, friendly personality. We only wish we had more information on the artist.

For the uninformed, Tali is one of the most adorable babes in all of gamedom. She is also a Quarian – meaning she’s an alien with an incredibly weak immune system and is forced to wear an enviro-suit that conceals her features – so her face, even after two games, remains a mystery. Developer Bioware even enabled a male Commander Shepherd to romance her in Mass Effect ﷺ2, but continued to hide ♐her face even after you wined and dined her.

So what do you think? Would this face satisfy you? Do you thi🎉nk it’s anywhere close to what Tali’s actual appearance will be when (or even if) it’s finally revealed?
