Solo and Duo fanart

[salamandere]

luel has been mentioning solo recently, and i really couldn't resist doing some solo art. i have always pictured him with red hair, seeing as red hair is sorely under represented in the GW-verse. plus it's my fave. this picture is obviously AU, since he's alive. and OH how hastily and messily i did it. i cut corners like a get-away driver. all the

how awesome! *waves hi to solo*

to be honest I am a touch sad that Duo's pants aren't ripped/torn...but that's just coz I find that sexy XD

great job! =D

[salamandere]

thank you :) i like solo, i don't know why i don't draw him more often!

ah, good point, i didn't think about that. :\ i do love seeing duo's knees peeking through his jeans :DDDD hmm, it seems like it calls for a Next Time :DDD

thanks so much ♥

i can see it now; Duo crouched in his home or look out, one knee down on the ground and the other up and his knee peeking right through XD!

mmm, yeah :) a little bit dirty from a fight, and his hair a bit messed up all sexy like :DDD

Very nice! It's great to see a fresh take on Solo. He's way too underrepresented in fandom art.

[salamandere]

thank you :) he is, isn't he? i was just wondering why i don't draw him more, but heero and duo always take precedence ;D but he's such a great character, and what i like about him is that he's almost completely open to interpretation, which is so much fun!

your icon is fabulous!!! it really made me smile :D

ILU. *_* This is a gorgeous thing of wonderous beauty to come upon while sifting through the backlog of entries on LJ. Um... um... THANK YOU!! I love Solo, and you drawing him totally made my day. ♥ Ah, their ratty appearance, Duo's badass, long, mussed up hair... that chainlink fence (honestly, patience of a saint you have.)

This is deffinitely motiating me to draw that Solo backstory. XD

I'm really curious about the backstory now too. That picture looks so badass. *_* Man, I love gritty street-life stuff.

Thank you Sala! My day is 100% improved now. ♥

hee! ♥ i'm embarrassed 8]

i know you picture him with lovely black hair but but i just had to go with red ;) i can't think of him another way :\

ooh thank you for liking their scruffy look. i totally took a shortcut and used the patterns on photoshop (very badly) and hey became HUGE when i resized and i didn't fix but :\ thank you for liking the guys anyway!!! honestly their ragged appearance was the most fun part!! i may have gotten carried away >.> or maybe not XD

haha, the fence was actually not too bad once i got too it. i was sick of doing clothes by then ;)

yayayayay, get motivated to do yours!!! i know it'll have to take a long whiel but that's okay, i'll wait patiently :D

i'm working on the back story, but like everything, it got away from me and became bigger than i intended. i think i'm gonna have to scale it down ;)

i'm so happy to have improved your day! ♥ ♥ ♥

There is no cannon for what Solo looks like, so if red hair is what you like, red hair is what you shold draw. <3 You don't have to apologize for how you think of Solo, you know. Just seeing Solo makes me happy.

Getting carried away with a drawing is the best part. That's when you know you're having fun. :D (or at least that's true with me. haha)

Ooooooooh! You're working on the back story?! *____* I'm... I'm so damned excited I'd dance around the room if it wasn't one in the morning and my parents were sleeping in the next room. (Yay, I get to be home for the weekend! XD)
It's honestly like someone just told me Santa would be coming down to make another season of GW...
Scale it down if you really feel parts have to go but... use your best judgment. If a part is so good it needs to be in there, keep it in there. You have a brilliant mind for these things, so trust yourself. <3

yeah solo is beautiful, no matter what. his character is just so strong, even though he has like .05 nanoseconds of true canon work
