He has a very flat muzzle then :P

 

From design standpoint Solas is simply a walking "Triangularity". What I mean is - all DAI elves have pretty sharp features that would fit into triangular shapes (I assume the inspiration was the triangular shape of their ears), but with his design they went with Triangle Overload :D

 

A quick GIF to show how much they just crammed there - with a few I probably missed due to laziness xD

Not an artist but... his face aways struck me as very geometric. The triangles, the circle of his head, it all conforms very closely to basic shapes. If you compare it to Cole for example whose face seems very ... irregular, in a way. *in total frustration over what I'm trying to say* But to me it makes him look stern and also somewhat mystical, like he's an abstract figure.

I noticed this too and it does seem like his face structure is similar to certain dogs/wolves.

 

And now (for some reason) I can't help but picture slices of pizza and cherry turnovers on his face. :lol:

There's triangularity to cats as well :)

 

And like I said, there's a trinagular motif in all DAI elves design - my Lavellan also has something of a triangular, albeit much softer, thing going (especially that I see her totem animal being a fox... yes, this is as cheesy ans pretentious as it gets).

 

So while I think they DID go for some 'wolfy' motif in Solas design, I think his face was simply supposed to scream purebread 'ELFINESS!" :D

 

Yes, it's definitely sharper and intended to seem more 'pure'. Although DA elf designs have changed a bit, there is still some angular quality but in Solas it's like x100. :)

 

Funny enough, my canon Lavellan isn't very angular. My mage is. Maybe this was why my boyfriend said she didn't look very elven and compared her to dwarves. :lol:

I personally don't see any resemblance between Solas and Nicolas Cage. Nor Lex from Smallville either. (Although I do think Michael Rosenbaum is attractive with a bald head)

Now that I know what shapes make up Solas's face I kind of want to make his face out of fruit.

RogueBait! I love it!   :wub:   :wub:   :wub: You didn't have to return the favor but thank you! (And I'm so happy that you like my drawing of your Tala.  :D)

 

^__^ You're very welcome, I'm glad you like it! I wanted to actually finish it with colour and stuff, but. Uh... Shhhhhhh.

 

So let me get this straight: we have at least 3 Tala Lavellans?!

 

I believe there's at least one more on Tumblr. I remember a few months ago, a running joke started about a "Tala war" because there can only be one. ;)

 

There is another Tala who is a mage.

 

Six!  Six Talae in the constellation so far!


  • 4 Rogues
  • 2 Mages

  • EDIT:  Seven!  Seven Talae in the constellation, ah, ah, ah

 

Wha. How. When did--I don't unders--I'm so... Talas. Talas everywhere.

 

Spoiler

 

It's fine. Everything is fine. This is normal. No problems.

 

Wait, come back!

 

*hugs*

 

Why is there not some sort of mandatory forum-ing hour (or several) tacked onto each day? I wanna staaay. *hug-glomp*... And why not also kisses!:

 

Spoiler

 

Human was sacrificed. I now have a character slot of a two handed warrior named Tala Lavellan.

 

Spoiler

 

I intend to choose every angry response possible.

 

She is beautiful. *0* Dat vallaslin. Welcome to the Tala fam!

 

I think so too. There's a certain triangular quality to Solas, and a sharpness that also gave me a 'wolf' vibe once I knew.

 

Somewhere between like, a wolf and a dog in the Spitz family.

 

Spoiler

 

I am quoting this because canids. <3

 

Also did someone ask about Lavellans drinking from the well/keeping vallaslin or not? I thought I quoted it, but I guess not. It's probably for the best; I abuse that function badly enough as it is.

 

In any case, my Tala did drink from the well, because the way she sees it: yesplz to more possible knowledge, a deeper connection to her people's past, and being somewhat reckless and quick to act. And she did allow Solas to remove her vallaslin. I head canon that she got them re-done by her clan's keeper, in exactly the same fashion, after a time, when she comes to consider her previous actions to have been taken in a state of emotional fragility and without careful consideration. So I always draw/picture her with them, though there'd be a brief time where she was without.

So, I think I found an acceptable yarn for Solas' sweater. It's a tad bit darker than his sweater looks in game I think....but chances are it will lighten with washing and all that jazz.

 

Since you are all Solas experts and it gives you all a perfectly good excuse to study his sweater in detail, let me know what you think.

Spoiler

 

I had to study that picture hard. For color science.

The yarn looks like the right color to me. :D

We've got exquisite fan artists, writers, and even fantastic sweaters being made, inspired by DA.

Then you've got me. I color maps.  :lol: You guys do actual work.
