It's actually one of the characters from Mass Effect. Tali.
Awesome Garrus and Tali costumes!

very cool, and i'm looking forward to using this as refference on my own garrus when i attempt it,
but the two things that catch me about the suit are
1, the head you can't really admire from the stand point of "oh wow they must have worked really hard on that" because it's not their own work (which i can't fault for it, since it's a great sculpt, but i can't commend them on how the head looks really good, for the same reason)
2, the armor looks a little small on him, there are large sections between plates in which other plates could have been perhaps added
on the plus side, this is his first armor work apparently, and the plates that are there, are awesome.

Very cool and i always love seeing more of tali and asari lol. I'm digging through all my mass effect art books to see about making his headset/visor just for fun. Tell you what they did a really nice job the more i look at the pics, alot of plexiglas work for the visors and omni tools. Beats the heck out of the guys at cons wearing outfits tossed together 3 days earlier lol.

"He’s collar poppin’, scopin’ and droppin’, and rocket-blast survivn’. He’s freakin’ Garrus Vakarian." Haha! Awesome quote!
I watched all of his YouTube videos of him making the costume, and the video of them walking into the doors for the first time. He mentioned that the security there had to keep them moving, since hoards of people were stopping so they could get pictures of them all.
It's an awesome cosplay, definitely some of the best I've ever seen.
Kommissar is right, some of the stuff they did actually isn't their work.
If he had molded the head himself, I would give him more props. I'm impressed that the armor looked that great on his first try, though he could have done so much better if he went back and tweaked some things.
He even admits that he used Sarren's body, rather than Garrus', as an outline for the costume since Sarren "actually has a waist".
He could have done a lot better on the legs. The spike coming out from behind the calf looks kinda small and awkward.
And yes, the armor looks a little small on him. He easily could have filled the dead space in, or just tweak it and make it bigger the next time around. Garrus' armor is bigger than you think!
Overall, a very badass first try. He's inspired me to make a Mass Effect costume for Halloween this year... Or, at least, try to make one. :unsure
I still think it would be awesome if someone cosplayed as Nihilus. I was actually sad when he died in the first game. :cry

Pretty interesting way to make the mask. On a similar note did anyone else see Composite Effects custom Garrus Mask they did recently? I saw it on their facebook page and it looks pretty epic. Composite Effects's Photos - Custom Silicone Masks & Gloves | Facebook
