Early Dragon Age: The Veilguard Concept Art Reveals a Darker Solas
Early concept sketches by former BioWare artist Nick Thornborrow offer intriguing insights into the evolution of Solas's character in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. These sketches, showcased on Thornborrow's website, reveal a more overtly vengeful and god-like Solas than the advisor role he ultimately plays in the final game.
Thornborrow, who contributed to The Veilguard's development by creating a visual novel prototype to explore storyline possibilities, shared over 100 sketches. While many scenes closely resemble their in-game counterparts, Solas's portrayal differs significantly in several key areas.
The concept art depicts Solas less as a manipulative advisor and more as a powerful, shadowy figure, sometimes depicted as an enormous being. This contrasts with his largely dream-based appearances in the released game. The ambiguity surrounding these changes leaves open the question of whether these scenes represent Rook's dreams or actual events in the game's world.
The differences highlight the significant evolution The Veilguard's narrative underwent during development. The shift from Solas's initial vengeful god persona to his more subtle role in the final game underscores the creative process and potential narrative alterations that can occur between a game's conception and release. Thornborrow's contribution provides fans with a fascinating glimpse into this evolution, bridging the gap between initial concepts and the final product. The contrast between the early concept art and the final game hints at a potentially more sinister, less ambiguous hidden agenda for Solas.
