The problem with the Tali picture is it wasn't based off a model. It was a cheap image taken off a google search and haphazardly thrown together. Heck, I gave a friend experienced with photo editing an image of the stock image both before and after the edits, and asked if I could time how long it took him to make the edits himself. 6 minutes. They had months to give us a proper picture of Tali, at least a face model, but they did a six minute edit of a picture and said "No one will be the wiser". It's even worse because they admitted they had better concept sketches of Tali someone drew (possibly out of boredom) that they just didn't use. It's not just Tali, we never see ANY Quarian with their helmet off, so this was a downer. I just can't imagine that a race of people who have digitgrade legs, two fingered hands, no ear lobes from codex reference, and radically different immune systems can resemble a human...especially since their design drifts closer to Turian than human.
