Ahh it finally started.
I’ll get to work, let’s see it we can get some randomness going :looney:
VegaX: The flames in your pic are mad with the sweetness.
I’m not really interested in the males of these series.
Except maybe Faust. And only he and Pote are not girly men.
Oh, you’ll get random, alright.(may or may not be colored)
But somehow, the lack of replies and interest leave me dead and empty somehow. I’m considering quitting from drawing for good. There’s just a severe lack of replies and interest on my DA/LJ. People would rather circle jerk elsewhere. :wasted:
I’ll crit you guys on CSFAC.
Slammin Sols guys. Especially Pete, it’s smokin! :tup:
Tell me you have a hi-res version!
damn sfmZ, i really like how you handled the lighting on Sol. The back lighting really gives him more structure. The purple undertone cools down the reds and the yellows w/o making it look overdone. ROX
Neoblood: Rock hard piece to start it off!
Kando: I thought Sol has a ponytail. I like the mood but I think you could have leave the bg dark w/o the light spots to make sol blend into it more. It will go better with the mood. I’d give his head more room too so it’s not so close to the edge.
Bandit: stay for the whole show! Good looking Sol with a bit of attitude. His body should be leaning on the sword more since weight is being displaced.
zazz: crazy lookin’
vega-x: nice flame effects.
CW: wooo man. I like the idea of you doing doubles from now on. Sol’s neck missing from that angle looks kinda odd. Thinking Sol would look more dynamic if his sword is pointing more toward the bg too.
Star: cool sol man. I like the graphic quality of it.
4negs: neat stuff man you’re getting better, but lets stick to the schedule!
Let’s try to post these in the csfac blog too so we’ll have an archive.
I’ll upload them to the csfac itself when the time comes as of now… I can’t say I’m interested in Sol. Faust maybe, but I don’t know. 
Here’s a speedy sol I whipped up. May go back and work on it some more when I’ve got more time:
Faust week
damn that first sol is tight as hell
Slammin Sol, Munta. I’m diggin the strokes on the pants, :tup:
Cheers fella,
I used your tutorial you put up to do this one. So I owe those strokes to you man. The full color version looks UG-LEE! Still gotta practice up, fun though.
Damn you CPTMunta! I swear great minds MUST think alike, because Im still working on a Sol pic thats in almost exactly the same pose!
heres a link but remember its still unfinished.

4negs: haha that’s why I play GG too.
cptMunta: That fits Sol’s character pretty well to just sit back and lit one up.
well, here’s mine.

will post comments tomm, it’s past bedtime now 
Holy crap dude, thats uncanny! I’m digging yours better though. Liking the the angle more.
Damn DF! That Sol is Mega badass. something about the facial expression that gives SOl real presence. Mega tight!
Here’s me Faust, good works on them thar Sols everyone.

ok, late comments
Neoblood:
nice Sol pics – the first one we’ve seen before, Good detail on Sol with the buckles, straps and all.
2nd one is a really nice – totally nails the character, with the pissy attitude in the eyes. It should be really good when you’re finished.
Zazz:
nice colours, really like the stylised “first gear” pic. Is that Sol’s true form or something? Holy Order Sol is interesting.
Kandoken:
a moody Sol in earth tones.
unusual but strangely suitable.
BanditChain:
cute Sol & Faust. Faust looks really tangled up on his scapel, reminiscent of a McFarlane Spider-man.
SFMC:
nice, it’s almost as if Sol gots his portrait taken 
vega-x:
love the lighting. you’ve gotten really good.
Nice colours
Ron:
Faust looks like he’s toying with Sol (as if Sol was a kitten). Here kitty kitty kitty
Faust is great, really looks perched on his giant scapel. Sol looks kinda gangly, I’d always pictured him with slightly more bulk than that.
Photon / 4neqs:
Jam looks kinda older than she should, probably due to the small iris & the line under her right eye. Be careful of the lines you use on the faces of women & children – while lines are used to define shapes, they also give the impression of age (wrinkles, crow’s feet, saggy skin, etc). Also, her proportions could use work – perhaps get your hands on Peck’s Anatomy for the Artist (IIRC it’s also on www.fineart.sk), and take the time to get a feel for things. I’m doing that myself, except with a library book
Faust one is hilarious.
Midnight:
good one. middle finger works
only crit would be that the Fireseal doesn’t line up with the handle.
VSlash:
partial Dragon Install? Reminds me a bit of the poster of Prince of Persia: the Two Thrones.
Cool idea, nice expression.
Cpt:
nice pose, as with Neoblood’s pic. Suits the character very well.
Looks a bit flat, though… perhaps some highlights on the shins & shoes would help bring the feet forward? Foreshortening might help too.
DFist:
Very nice, heroic pose suits this antihero pretty well
I’m thinking his left shoulder could be slightly higher (visible over the lapel), and his hands slightly larger. Make the bend in his left elbow more obvious, otherwise on first glance that arm looks a tad short.
Bland_wolf:
Sol looks kinda crazed. cool pic.
Where’s his left arm?
As for my own pic, Sol turned out more buff than I intended for him to be.
Also, the perspective on the Fireseal is a mess, and his left arm is off. Tons of details are wrong due to not working closely from a reference, too
