Some red pigment is a natural component of all brown hair, BTW.
Well, there you go. I don't know why it's a big deal, since he's never going to have hair in the game. I guess if you're trying to figure out what his kids with your Lavellan would look like, maybe?

You snuck in and posted yours while I was trying to find one.
Also, you are an evil enabler and I have like...a plan now and reference images.
I am an enabler! I'm looking forward to seeing if this comes to fruition :>
Some red pigment is a natural component of all brown hair, BTW.
Which is also partly why super dark hair is such a pain in the butt to dye. Layers of pigment. (Also if you leave dark hair for too long and your ends split, you get orangey pieces at the end. Mine used to be down to my thighs so the ends split...a lot.
I'd do an unnatural red or a dark purple if it weren't such a....process (pun intended).
in those images you posted, midnight tea, I still see a light auburn tone.
As in - a tiny bit of orange or red? You'll always see that in any browns, considering they're basically dirty oranges/reds ![]()
But auburn hair have definitely a lot more orange in it than regular brown hair. IMO auburn is too strong of a red to call Solas's hair "auburny". They're just... brown, with nothing special in it.
Comparison - regular/mousy'ish brown (see all the reds?):

Auburn:
Agreed. I'm extremely pro-HC anyway. People can HC Solas looked like a turian in the game for all I care. Me, I think men with dark hair and blue eyes are very hot.
Now that you know what turians are. ![]()
I don't really have preferences, though I do like blue eyes. I also kind of think brown-eyed natural blondes are interesting looking.
I wish BioWare and other studios would bother refining brown eyes in their games. If you notice, pretty much no one has brown eyes in Dragon Age, for instance. I have brown eyes and I don't even give many of my characters brown eyes because the colors they often use look flat and not saturated enough, or they don't always work with the lighting. The short version is many studios don't make brown eyes very well, which is weird since most of us in the world have them.

Those Punnett squares were written out long ago
They will have brown hair and green eyes, 100% chance of freckles, since my Lavellan is a ginger with green eyes.
The cleft chin is a problem, since we don't have Solas' family tree to work with, but there's at least 50% chance of cleft chin.
Whether the hair is curly, wavy, or straight isn't clear, since we don't know what Solas' hair is like. Curly hair is dominant and my Lavellan has wavy hair, so depending on Solas' hair the chance for the kids to have curly our wavy hair is 50%-100%.
You would have considered all of this. ![]()

Hehe yes. pro tip: if you're fair haired and want to dye your hair to a nice rich dark brown? Dye it red first.
To me his eyebrows look more taupe in lacking lighting and a definitive auburn in light. Auburn is a reddy brown, so to me, it makes the perfect colour sense. Pair that with light eyes, fair freckled skin and what appears to be pink undertones... it works, logically. If you're in that medium tone zone, your eyebrows will often be slightly darker than the top of your head (unless your brows are a bit thin). But it's a game, so logic doesn't always play a part.
I also think his eyes are grey! At least we agree on that
They're kind of pale violet or lavender-gray to my eye.
They look like the color shifting grayish blue to me.
I know why some people get the lavender tone in some lighting though.
Nirwen's eyes are lavender, so if they ever had kids, it might confuse the matter further, down the line. ![]()

Well... my Asura's eyes are technically white xD (*throws genetics out of the window. In case of elves it's apparently all magic anyway!*)
I see grayish blue too!
And hi everyone!
I don't know if anyone is reading it but theHidden1 just updated her fic Lies Upon Lies which I'd recommend you check it out if you haven't read it!

Do it!!! ![]()
lol Solas the computer nerd ..... I have the weirdest ideas sometimes
If you notice, pretty much no one has brown eyes in Dragon Age, for instance
Wow you're right. The only companion with brown eyes is Cassandra and hers are hazel. They made that decision because "The choice of walnut hazel eye colour served to further her authoritative look, appearing a bit warmer than blue eyes and giving her a harder edge". Wat. Why.. So subjective XD.
Also Cullen has brown. But that's it.
There are also a lack of natural green eyes.
I know I am late to the party but I have downloaded a trial for Illustrator and I am happy ![]()
So here something simple. I spent merely 3 hours on getting the hands right, lol....

I love her hairstyle. It's really distinctive!
Also, no rush on editing. I spent today barfing up angst ![]()
Outrage!
I'd seriously push for a world state where magic is gone completely, just so everyone is forced to obey genetics. (And chemistry, physics, and all the other sciences, of course. But mainly genetics. )
... But that also means no elf ears ![]()
