So...we haven't heard back from Patrick or any other dev as to whether Solas is also suffering from the eye colour bug? With Cullen's info release, he gets added to the list of characters with the wrong eye colour, including Vivienne, Sera, Lelianna, and maybe Solas.
I think that once (if?) they change his eye colour back to blue/grey/violet and wipe off the manscara (
), then he will look a lot more like his original close up screen. Other than the eye colour issue, the other thing that makes him look a little bit different from earlier shots is that he looks...I dunno less feature-ey or something, like the way his skin was rendered in the older shots makes him look more realistic, whereas in the new close up his skin looks a little more washed out and...less refined? Other than that, I really don't think the shape of his head or features have changed all that much, if at all, I really just think he looks different with every photo we see of him, due to lighting, facial expressions and the angle of the photo. As we can see with Cullen's new appearance, depending on those things (lighting, expression, and angle) he can look like a completely different person. I don't think I can really settle on how Solas *actually* looks until I see him in motion, because right now he looks like a completely different person in every single screen of him!
Also, absolutely loving the fanart
I will have to try and bribe my boyfriend with cookies to get him to draw a picture of our favourite bald elf for everyone, as I haven't an artistic bone in my body!

I hope that he looks better in game for sure. If you ask me, he looked much more realistically proportioned and better rendered in the screenshots we got months ago than he does in the recent ones he got, particularly in regards to his skin texture. Makes me wonder if something happened or if maybe the lighting really does affect what he looks like so much. I'll love him no matter how he looks but I can't pretend to be completely satisfied right now. Either way, it's not at all the end of the world but it's a nagging little bug, if I'm being honest.
And I really hope the eye color bug is fixed in game! That, or we'll have amazing color-changing eyes throughout ![]()

Personally I like the newer screen shots. The lighter eyes might be nice, but I mentioned before that the pale eyebrows and eyelashes really washed out his face. Admittedly pale brows and lashes can be attractive, but on an already pale character with no hair, his facial features seemed dull and faded to me. That and it just all around made him look a lot older than I think he's supposed to be. like 40s/50s rather than 30s.

Banxey and I were just talking about this and thought he might not be finished yet. His face is in dappled/awkward shadows, shown in profile, or taken from a distance in each of our new screenshots whereas someone like Cullen is shown up close and in great lighting, which makes it seem like they're keeping Solas semi-hidden until he's finalized. I could be totally wrong though ![]()

Also, Leliana's blue eyes showed up vivid brown in some of her new pictures, which makes me think that characters with actual light eyes are shown with the most distinctly brown in bugged shots. Then you look at Vivienne, whose eyes are rich brown in her character kit, and hers range from pale brown to gray/blue in newer screenshots and trailers so there seems to be a full on swap of eye colors going on ![]()
TLDR: I think there's a big chance Solas still has light eyes and will look different when the game launches
Edit: And I think he's hot. Can't forget to add that ![]()

I think you're right. It's not just the lighting that's different in those screenshots, no way. Look between the middle picture and the one on the right. His nose shape is COMPLETELY different in both and there's no way that's a trick of the lighting. They must still be tweaking his face.
Of the three, the one in the middle is my favorite (dat nose) so I hope they keep him looking more like that ![]()
The middle one is so striking because it makes him look kind of feline, which is awesome. I wonder if that's what they were going for with DA2 elves but they ended up straying too much into Na'vi territory.

Solas looks vastly different to me in all his shots. It's kind of weird. I like the middle one there best, though.

*snip*
I can't unsee Ralph Fiennes, David Bowie, and Sam Worthington now, Ispan.
Cullen also has some dodgy textures on his armour (as was brought up in the twitter thread) so it just seems like all the characters are still receiving finishing touches. For some reason Solas has had a lot of work since his initial screens. Personal taste aside, he seems generally prettier to me.

Looking at all the Solas screenshots now, the truth is obvious to me. Solas is one of a group of quadruplets. They're mostly identical but have a few differences.
Now to guess which one of them is the real Solas ![]()

I also like how he looks in this image

taken from this screenshot:
Moreover, he has the same fur in the Stand Together trailer
What do you think his final look will be? The one we've seen in the last screenshots?

Is one of my favourite shot of him, for now. ![]()
by the way, is quite confusing how different he look from one pick to another...
I can't really tell what are his exactly facial features. I still quite like him in most shot.

Hmm...I wonder how recent this screen shot is in terms of when Solas was tweaked, because Varric has pretty dark hair in this screen, which was later changed to a lighter, dirty blonde colour, so it's very possible that this was an earlier version of Solas that has since been tweaked.
But, again, he looks so different in all of his shots, so who knows
Although I do love him in this shot
His skin texture looks so much more detailed and refined and...realistic compared to his most recent close-ups!
