I'm Sol Radguy (or Somnivagrious). I translate stuff (JP->EN), abuse my 3D printer, draw, & own 5 library cards. If you're into Guilty Gear then you've probably seen something I worked on without realizing it.

Monthly cool shit, behind the scenes shit, & other neat shit:

🐉
A digital illustration of Sol Badguy fighting a giant dragon (Gear). The drawing is vibrant and highly textured. Sol is crouched on the dragon's back and grinning, his sword drawing a line of blood to the large wound on the dragon's neck. Embers fly around them and a glowing red sun in the background is framed by both of their wings. The dragon is a typical "western" style dragon except that it has four eyes. Sol's hands, feet, and hair burn bright with fire at their ends. Jack-O' Valentine drawn in a soft style reminiscent of 1970s band posters. She's smiling at the viewer. Her halo, stars, and simple flowers radiate in the background behind her. A mixed media illustration of Order Sol standing in front of steaming clouds with a pink sun setting into a green horizon. He rests one hand on his sword while the other, clawed and glowing, hangs behind him. A panel to his left shows cross-shaped neon green headstones at various tilting angles. A horizontal panel at the bottom has three roaring dragons, each with three eyes, in a row with the leftmost one biting a small pink sun. The palette of the piece is mostly shades of purple, pink, and orange. A photograph of 3D printed replicas of the Outrage Mark II, Sol Badguy's sword, and Testament's scythe (unpainted), both from Guilty Gear Strive. Sol's red limiter headband sits on the skull finial of the scythe. Both weapons rest against a wooden dresser with a bookshelf to the left of them. Shelf and dresser are cluttered with books, cassette tapes, figures, and plushies. The wall behind them is covered in framed prints and posters.

A gritty digitally drawn portrait of Sol Badguy smoking and glaring down his nose at the viewer. It's colored in shades of light yellow, scarlet, and dark purple. The greyscale version of the drawing and the uncolored/unshaded inks are imposed to the sides of the colored one. Text in the bottom right reads: I colored this one with gradient map layers and adjustment layers. There's not much going on with it besides that though. I used a bunch of gritty texture brushes that I never use, especially for the background. A digitally colored ballpoint pen sketch of Sol Badguy in a non-canon interpretation of his dragon install monster form. The uncolored sketch is imposed slightly behind the colored version to the right. Text in the bottom left reads: This was inspired by cool fanart depictions of Go Nagai's Devilman where they go super off-model and make him look all badass and stuff. This was done injust ballpoint pen (Pentel RSVP and Pentel Floatune. no pencil undersketch) with some Pentel pocket brush and white gel pen before scanning. Simple colors added in CSP. A mixed media illustration of Order Sol standing in front of steaming clouds with a pink sun setting into a green horizon. He rests one hand on his sword while the other, clawed and glowing, hangs behind him. A panel to his left shows cross-shaped neon green headstones at various tilting angles. A horizontal panel at the bottom has three roaring dragons, each with three eyes, in a row with the leftmost one biting a small pink sun. The palette of the piece is mostly shades of purple, pink, and orange. Various rough thumbnails, sketches, and the uncolored line art of the previous image laid out on a white page. Text in the bottom left reads: The first sketch for this was done fop one of the three "Day 15" rough pen sketches on printer paper but I liked the idea of this one and wanted to push it further. Top left sketch is the original day 15 thumbnail, top right is another iteration cleaning up some details that were vague (hand) and figuring out the cloth folds fop turning it into Order Sol. The smaller series of sketches above this text were to decide what to put in little detail boxes around the composition. The thumbnails all done with ballpoint pens on copy paper and the final inks were with a fineliner on 9x12" (22.8x30.4cm) smooth bristol board. Digital colors.

31 -- Happy Halloween!!
#soltober #guiltygear
A digital drawing of Jack-O' Valentine and Sol Badguy in Halloween costumes against a yellow full moon. Sol is dressed as Frankenstein's monster with green and blue skin, stitches, and diodes on his head. Jack-O' is a blue imp or demon with blue-painted skin and blue horns, bat wings, and devil tail. She's wearing her grey pumpkin mask and holding out a pumpkin treat pail full of candy. Both characters are smiling.

30 -- Dragon install
#soltober #guiltygear
A digitally colored ballpoint pen sketch of Sol Badguy in a non-canon interpretation of his dragon install monster form. He's colored a light yellow with some light red shading to separate shapes against a dark red background. His design is loosely based on his Xrd/Strive DI design, but he has a long tail, longer limbs covered in spikes, and more bat-like wings.

29 -- St. George & the Dragon
#soltober #guiltygear
A drawing of Order Sol stabbing a snake-like dragon (Gear) with his sword with an eclipse and fog behind him. The drawing is stylized with relatively flat shading and strong geometric shapes and angles. There are repeating motifs between the dragon's and Sol's eyes, their spines/hair, the dragon's jaw spikes with Sol's long, pointed, ear; and vaguely in their poses.

A photo of a Sol Badguy mousepad. Sol looks uncomfortable or worried about the fate of his large breasts that compose the wrist rest of the mousepad. They have 3D nipples that stick out of it. The left breast cushion is slightly rougher looking than the right one.

There's some other official art I pull up when I draw him sometimes too but these are like my Sol Badguy Greatest Inspiration Hits. Ending this thread with a shoutout to the wacky DI designs. Overture, Vastedge, and the Isuka Complete Guide
Concept art of Sol's Overture Dragon Install design. He has a lot of overlapping red plates like a lobster and glowing markings on his chest and upper arms. His wings and ears are particularly gross and veiny. A screenshot from the Vastedge XT pachislot machine of Sol activating his Dragon Install. His skin is solid black like a silhouette with glowing yellow markings on his palms, chest, eyes, and the underside of the bird-like tail sprouting from his back. A marker illustration by Ishiwatari that depicts Sol facing away from the camera, with wings and a tail made of fire growing out of his back. Vines wrap around his limbs and a heavy chain around his sword. His eyes glow white in the shadows on his face and the edge of a large grin can just barely be seen above the tall collar of his vest.

Sol's eyes are really inconsistent but here's one of only like 5 good pages from Xtra and 3 Daisuke illustrations where Sol has cool slit pupils instead of round ones. Since Vastedge (2013) Sol has only had round pupils and brown eyes (instead of red, orange, or yellow)
A greyscale full page from the Guilty Gear Xtra manga showing Sol roaring and preparing his sword for firing a laser. He has massive fangs. A very orange illustration of Sol by Daisuke Ishiwatari. He's holding his sword up to his face with one of its side panels open and glowing. One of Sol's eyes has a slit pupil and the other is round. A marker drawing by Daisuke of Sol sitting on a couch or chair and holding his fist out in front of him. His clothes are particularly loose and he has yellow eyes with slit pupils. An almost pastel colored illustration by Daisuke of Dizzy floating above Sol. Chains wrap around and frame them both. Sol's eyes have slit pupils, though he's drawn zoomed out far and it's hard to tell.

Emiko Iwasaki's Sols for the GGXX (1st pic) and Isuka arcade modes (2nd, 3rd) live in the back of my mind when thinking about how to place the shadows on Sol. His outfit has a lot of layering parts that make it harder than you'd think. This poster for Isuka by Daisuke has heavy shading too (4th)
A dark, gritty, illustration of Sol Badguy by Emiko Iwasaki. He's depicted in harsh, vertical, strokes of a heavily textured crayon or brush in black and white with muted red accents and dark shading. A painting of Sol by Iwasaki waving his flaming sword up over his head, leaving a trail of flames framing him in a circle. His face and muscles are thickly shaded. A third illustration by Emiko Iwasaki of Sol. The drawing has large areas of black shading with a muted mostly brown palette. The brush strokes are loose and gritty. A marker and ink illustration of Sol by Daisuke Ishiwatari. The linework is loose and textured, with hatching for shading and scribbled areas providing texture underneath the marker strokes. The colors are more vibrant than the previous three illustrations, but still rather muted. Shadows on Sol's face make his one visible eye and his grin pop.

Some examples of the Daisuke HOS's where he makes the hair look like horns, wings, or fire. He doesn't always do this, it seems to be something he mostly did around the XXAC to XXAC+R era
A crop of an Order Sol marker illustration by Daisuke Ishiwatari where Sol's hair is swept back and vaguely resembles demon or monster wings. Another Order Sol crop where his hair looks like wings. This one also has a large central spike of hair above his forehead that's reminiscent of the big middle horn his Dragon Install form in Xrd and Strive has. Order Sol's hair looks less like wings in this illustration, but the sharp edges and dynamism of the hair could be read as them. He's at a foreshortened angle with one hand near the camera and his concrete sword resting on it. The Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R box art with Ky Kiske, Sol Badguy, and Order Sol. Order Sol takes up most of the composition. His hair fades into white flames. Normal Sol's ponytail also turns into flames at its end and wraps around the other Sol.

I get a lot of shit for giving Sol "elf ears." Well too bad because they're canon. From Guilty Gear Begin (cover and interior illustrations; by Daisuke Ishiwatari, digital media). I also borrow the hands and the "broody" mood of some of the other drawings from this book too.
A crop of the monstrous Frederick from the Guilty Gear Begin cover. His skin is an inhuman shade of red and he has glowing solid yellow eyes, pointed ears, and huge fangs. A crop of an interior illustration from Begin showing Frederick, now fully a monster, with pointed ears, glowing eyes, and massive fangs yelling or growing upwards at something. A full interior page from Begin with three panels. The first two show Frederick (as a monster) manipulating vague technology at his desk covered in scientific instruments. The third panel is of his massive clawed hand reaching for a crude metal prototype of his limiter headband. A crop from a colored interior page of Begin with the monster Frederick clinging to a broken wall or mirror above the human Frederick and Viidia. The monster has red skin, claws, and glowing white eyes framed by his flowing black hair. He's naked.

If I draw a particularly beautiful Sol Badguy it's because of Shishizaru's Order Sol. Special illustration in GGX Slash, but also reprinted in the GG Magazine 1st Gig booklet (which this scan comes from)
A digital portrait of Order Sol in profile. He's got softer features than usual, with full lips and dramatic eyelashes. The lighting is a warm orange.

The Artworks of GGX 2004 cover is ICONIC. It's debatable if that's his ponytail, clothes, or an actual tail making the tail-like shape behind him, but HOS's DI Sakkai sprites have a tail like that too (sort of like Dizzy's tail). Sol's hair also often has wing or horn shapes in Daisuke's HOS art
A marker and ink illustration by Daisuke Ishiwatari showing Order Sol (Sol Badguy) crouched in the foreground, grinning, as a massive dragon dies after crashing into a tall building in the background. Sol's hair is shaped vaguely like horns and his torn clothes resemble wings and a tail. A frame from Order Sol's Dragon Install Sakkai animation where he's lunging into the air and has triangular wings and a long tail, smooth, tail.

Thank you!! He does have an evil mostly-human dragon install!! He's got a big grin in the flame wings one here too but his collar is mostly covering it. They're the covers for Artworks of GGX 2000-2004 and the GGXX Complete Guide, both by Daisuke Ishiwatari
A marker and ink illustration by Daisuke Ishiwatari showing Order Sol (Sol Badguy) crouched in the foreground, grinning, as a massive dragon dies after crashing into a tall building in the background. Sol's hair is shaped vaguely like horns and his torn clothes resemble wings and a tail.
