Romantic asari by the fire by Taleeze

OC for

- Selina T'Vena

The description was "romantic multiplayer asari with blue skin and yellow face markings". That's her home and she obviously is waiting for someone to join her for that drink by the fireplace.

Nice work - reflection of her on the floor and everything.

I like the markings too, high-visibility. That sort of thing is why I felt bad about fighting Wasea in ME2 - yes she's a murderous mercenary trying to kill me, but she looked so cool!

Thank you. I had to cheat out a bit with the reflection of the asari though but the glowing drinks would reflect stronger anyway.

The yellow-colored face markings are a very interesting choice. I think it's a bit far on the other end of the spectrum (you don't really see yellow or green markings, except on the one green Asari!), but it makes the character unique still!

but there are some that (at least under the given light, which can betray you) have bright blue, almost teal markings. I also do assume that not all colors are natural and just like with makeup, there's asari equivalent for highlighting what you have.

interesting, how you say betray as if the markings can determine an asari's personality... their markings betray colors we've seen so in a sense they're out for betrayal or betraying

Ah, no, misunderstanding!

The wicked lighting in ME games can "betray" the eye. That's what I meant. For example, something that's truely white, but reflective (and face markings are in that cathegory sometimes in ME games) can reflect ambient light to make them look golden or reddish when they are really not. Vasir's suit is also an example. On the model itself it is white while in the golden twilight of Illium it comes across as golden.
