Tali Lineart

(EDIT: The coloured version is done! [link])



This is the restult of going stir-crazy while stuck in my house, unable to go to work due to being incredibly sick.

I decided to make use of the time sitting around willing my body to be healthy again (still a work in progress, much like this piece here), and I've AAALWAYS wanted to draw Tali from Mass Effect...

The lineart was done in Illustrator; something I've fiddled with here and there, but have never gone to such depths with before. This is my first REAL piece I've made using that program (my silly comics totally don't count), so I'm rather pleased with the results.

Speaking of which, I've decided to dedicate this piece to my little sister, Stephanie. She's the one who introduced me to Illustrator, taught me the ropes, and inadvertantly made this all possible. Also, I just recently got her to start playing the Mass Effect series, and she tells me that Tali is her favourite - so it's really quite perfect, if you ask me.

So, yes, I do plan on colouring this - I just wanted to post up what I have so far, and give my Wacom-arm a bit of a rest.

Enjoy!
