ummiehummie Featured By Owner Sep 24, 2015

Nihlus is one of my favorite (if not favorite) Turian.

Chibi-BlackBat Featured By Owner Nov 22, 2014

Back when they were buddies and Saren looked normal.

Oh Nihuls T_T

"soooo... you come here often?"

TheDevilReborn Featured By Owner Jul 16, 2013

This is a beautiful piece!

The cell shading gives it a great stylized touch to it.

Can you tell me what there talking about?

TheMemoryKing Featured By Owner Jun 16, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

very nice~!

derelianraven Featured By Owner Jun 7, 2013 Student Digital Artist

I've gotta say... usually I'm not one for shonen-ai/yaoi (not saying this is either), but for some reason, I can see such happening with these two and wanting it to because of this picture.

Although if they're just friends (and that's all you're going for), that's cool too.

It's still of my favorite turians... right after Garrus of course.

xenowriter Featured By Owner May 29, 2013

Amazing work! I like the lighting.

luvondarox Featured By Owner May 24, 2013

*sigh* I miss Nihlus...

HannibalLecterMD Featured By Owner May 16, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Ooh Nihlus, you know what they say about long fringes....

Alpha1ance Featured By Owner May 16, 2013

The first Turians haha nice

malgrumm Featured By Owner May 16, 2013

nice!

ZerosFangs Featured By Owner May 15, 2013 Student Digital Artist

Whilst this is great, my only complaint would be the size of their hips and waists. Turians have a very small waist that tapers down to to very protruding hips. Their hips just don't seem to jut out enough.
Great art nonetheless!

thesilentmole Featured By Owner May 11, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Absolutely fantastic. Your style catches the game perfect, I think.

Tathiel-Valient Featured By Owner May 11, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

"Bro, why the hell did you shot me man!"
"I was indoctrinated, I didn't mean to."
"Oh? Well then, we're cool."

"NAAW Just kiddin', I meant to!"

Krogan15 Featured By Owner May 10, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

Saren, what a twist... I love that game though, Krogans rule, I think like Grunt...

Krogan15 Featured By Owner May 10, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

I still have it... I'm looking right at it... I have every one of this game...

Scorge30 Featured By Owner May 10, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I never got why Saren, the single different looking Turian, just so happened to be EVIL. I've always been confused why he alone was different looking.

Leemo626 Featured By Owner May 11, 2013 Professional Filmographer

And Liara is the only Asari with eyebrows o_O

Scorge30 Featured By Owner May 11, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

but isnt that her line patterning? cause most asari have lines on their faces.

twiligthvampire89 Featured By Owner May 10, 2013

Amazing work

TDManiacXC626 Featured By Owner May 10, 2013

Alphonse?

DarkNova50 Featured By Owner May 10, 2013

I really wanted Saren to make some sort of appearance in Mass Effect 3. Such an awesome villain.

Kipachie Featured By Owner May 10, 2013 Professional General Artist

Oh god turians <3
They are my kryptonite god dammit

Burning-Question Featured By Owner May 10, 2013 Student Digital Artist

Nihlus was cool and so is this drawing. Looks like old photo, one of them had.

iTallaNT Featured By Owner May 10, 2013

Ah... a good scene from the days of old, before the geth and the reapers and Saren's downfall. Brings back memories.

Shimex Featured By Owner May 10, 2013

Arual-Gaze Featured By Owner May 9, 2013 Student General Artist

noooo nooooo! Dammit... Is it horrible that I miss BOTH of them?

wippmaster Featured By Owner May 9, 2013

Why did you draw Saren without the Getharm?
Or is this the Saren from the Mass Effect books?

Lahis Featured By Owner May 9, 2013 Hobbyist

Yes. Saren didn't always have his cybernetics. He propably got them only after he had made contact with Sovereing sometime after 2165.

wippmaster Featured By Owner May 10, 2013

Didn't he get his Geth arm because he wanted to show his loyalty to the Geth?
And didn't he get his cybernetics from Sovereing between the two boss fights with him in Mass Effect 1?

Lahis Featured By Owner May 12, 2013 Hobbyist

Saren already had cybernetics when he attacked Eden Prime: [link]
Sovereing just added more and upgraded them between Virmire and the attack on the Citadel.
