We all seem to have some sort of picture for our characters, some sort of representation of what we want them to be seen as.
Whether it's an actual model, celebrity photo, or some sort of drawing or doodle, we all have a picture for our characters.
This is the thread to discuss: Pictures
The places you look
How long it takes you to find something that fits
How frustrating it can be
Media you typically find helpful
Pictures/media that helped you make a character

Seether videoSaw this and came up with Charlie on the spot. Xp I think it'd be awesome if he didn't have natural redhair, like a fluke. But that's for the Roleplay discussion and such. Here's some more pics... For the Avi:  Cuz it's cute:

#1- OMG IT'S A CHARLIE!!!!! 8D I love Charlie! AND I LOVE THE PICS.
#2- I usually use Deviantart. :B Usually I have a basic image in mind for what I want my character to look like, and search for that. Like 'Beard' or 'Russian' or 'British School Boy'
8D
Sometimes I just browse the newest, and snatch up pictures as I see ones I like. I also use... what's it called.... flickr? Another image site anyways. Haven't for a while so I forget what it's called. xD
And I definitely find that, the closer you are to a character, the harder it is to find a picture for them. v_v I still am not completely satisfied with any of Godfrey's pics, but the image I have of him in my head can't exactly exist in the real world in its entirety. And I don't have a grown picture of him.
Some pictures come really easy, and I've saved a lot of pictures that I like so that I can work characters around them, instead of working a picture around a character.
I think that's the easiest way to do it, actually, finding a picture first.
I'M DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT THE MOMENT SO CAN TYPE A LOT.
I based one of my characters off of Billy Bob Thornton as well, sort of off the more vulgar characters he plays, like the guy in Bad Santa. 8D William's got a sexy pic of Billy bob to represent him. XD He's also got a secret sappy love for cheesy romance novels. >_>
Tinypic and Photobucket are also good places to find images.

I've moved away from DA photos, opting for semi-famous people to use as PBs just because it's popular to do in InvisionFree RPs. >w> I just go to my favorite PB icon journals.

I got TONS of pictures for Cillian! Check them out HERE.
They make me happy. x3
I find most my photos on Deviantart by searching. I found Josh's photo in like 2 seconds by just searching "mohawk".
Music really inspires me when I RP. Josh is The Bravery and Cillian is Saosin- the music really influences my characters.

Cillian!! *Roll* :O Ohbtw, I had this in my computer. Phoenix  EDIT: And do you know why I especially love very single Cillian picture? Because he looks exactly like I'd imagine a Godfrey/Voldemort kid to look. I mean, seriously, he looks like how I'd imagine Godfrey to look, but with a bit longer face, a more aristocratic look, and eyes/a brow that are just like Voldemorts, giving him that ability for a serious, voldemort-ish kind of stare/brooding look. I imagine both boys have Voldemort's sort of 'stare', and the aristocratic face. But there's softer aspects to the both of them that gives them Godfrey's look. And Cillian definitely looks more like what I'd imagine Godfrey'd look like. (I especially love the picture where he's under the white curtain/drape) EDIT2: This is one of my favourite pictures of Godfrey. Either Naz or Kitty found it. <3 And when paired up with the picture of Cillian where the boy with feathery black hair is staring down at the bottom right corner of the picture with the city behind him, it does look like they could be related. The nose on the pic's a bit too, big, but I love it anyways. XD Godfrey's just got those cute, plump lips. And the hair in that picture is... beyond perfect. When looking for pictures for him, I usually draw glasses on hi sface, Harry Potter style. xD I don't imagine Gilderoy to look like the on ein the movie, but with long blonde hair and taller and thin fingered and sort of charismatic/elegant. So the best way is to draw Harry glasses and see if it could pass. biggrin EDIT3: (nooo, no moar) Mike hasn't seen this one yet, have you? Do you like it? O_o Kinda a sad looking Godfrey. I LOVE his hair too though. So... feathery. Mmm. And the outift, and.. and everything. XD This is as close as I can get to my head image. GOD I TALK A LOT.

I WANT TO MAKE GODFREY AND CILLIAN HAVE SEX. SLOW, SAD SEX. And I am not sure why.
(I am such a shallow slash fan XD)
Sometimes I find pictures and want to make characters around them. Such as the girl on the right in this picture:
I wish the picture was of better quality.. vv

Oh, and I have drawings, too. I'm not that good at humans, but I still really love these. They're sorta mature, but nothing's showing or anything- photobucket doesn't mind, at any rate.
Godfrey&Voldemort and Cillian&Phoenix
Yeah man, I like that Phoenix picture. o_o Cillian and Phoenix are great... and the pictures for Cillian I found a looong time before making him, and discovered them in my favorites! The model is like, so perfect, jeez. ;_;
And that new Godfrey pic is pretty rad. I love that kid's outfit, plus the fact he looks younger. *ah-hem* Sad Godfrey has a lipring, hehe. x3
Also... Cillian/Godfrey. heart CUTE OVERLOAD.
And Josh, for safekeeping.

O.o Those are ******** sexy pictures Mike... Holy s**t at the one of Cillian and Phoenix. Always liked the Godfrey/Voldemort one too. They're messy<333
You know, a lot of our people have lip rings.... Huh....*Really wants one herself, but Naz says no*
Maybe we should just get an orgy of all our characters drawn instead of a nice happy family type... Would represent how we roll in here better.

Mmmm.... tasteful nudity. 8D
You know, Kitty, this one girl in the DECAA, Sara, had her character randomly draw a portrait of all the characters in a never-ending orgy. XD And since it was wizarding, it'd be all moving. So it's like, you'd always get your OTP, because periodically, everyone would switch. XD Hilarious.
SO YEAH, THAT WOULD BE CRAZY. But perhaps just people with their shirts unbuttoned a bit, sleeping it off. xD
8D That model is perfect, Mike.
ANDOMGJOSHHHHHHHHHH *Licks him again*
I love the picture's outift too, it's my fave thing. xD
And I was thinking about giving him that lip ring for real.... maybe he lets it close up when he's older. But a lip ring would be cute. 8D Plus it'd be fun to play out how he got it. *Randomly thinks of Reg for some reason ;D*
