That means Bioware could've grabbed any half-decent artist to draw her an amazing, unique face like heaps of fans already have done.
But what did they do instead? They did a 100% copy-paste of a photo of some lingerie model, changed the background, added some face-paint and use the eraser tool on 2 of her fingers. This could only be the result of some kind of inside joke going around Bioware employees. Tali was one of the main characters through two Mass Effect games and was developed extensively. The only people saying "oh who cares?" are the ones who haven't played anything from the series and their comment is therefore invalid.
I choose to forget the atrosity that Bioware did with Tali's face (and the pathetic closure of the series as a whole), to me this is what she always looked like:
Still very human-looking but unique and beautiful at the same time.

That picture is very well done (the one you posted). It's definitely how I would have pictured her. It would have been nice for Bioware to look to the community for something like this if they didn't plan on putting effort into it themselves. I don't think that would have ever happened, though.
