That's pretty much what I told myself before heading off to bed yesterday, seeing as I only wrote a thousand words, then spent the rest of the day looking at ball-jointed dolls. (Which is a hobby I desperately wish I could afford.)
Well, since I woke up, I've done nothing but scour the internet for...what else?
Pictures of celebrities that "look like my characters." (The characters of DARK WATER, specifically.)
Pictures of celebrities that "look like my characters." (The characters of DARK WATER, specifically.)
Yep--I'm wasting my time by indulging in every writer's guilty pleasure.
I usually do this before I even start writing (so it doesn't distract me like it's doing now). But for some odd reason, I overlooked it this time around. Maybe I was just too excited about starting a new story to care.
Meh.
Well, I've done it now, so I figured I'd share my choices with you guys.
Here goes nothing...
~:~ Vidette Reichhart ~:~
AnnaSophia Robb
When I saw AnnaSophia in the trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of Soul Surfer, I thought, "Wowza! She looks like Vidette!" (That is, by the way, what started this whole thing.) The resemblance is especially striking with this particular picture. It's actually kind of weird how much she looks like the girl in my head. And they're even the same age.
~:~ Edgar Reichhart ~:~
Asa Butterfield
Aside from the fact I picture Edgar's eyes being a little greener and his hair a good bit longer, Asa is a nearly perfect fit. That's definitely the sweet, baby-faced boy running around my mind.
~:~ Shaw Kilgour ~:~
Alex Pettyfer
Yes. Just yeeeeeeeeees.
~:~ Karisa Branswen ~:~
Alexis Jordan
Alexis looks just like I imagine Karisa looking in the face. Karisa's skin is a little darker and her hair is A LOT curlier, though. But otherwise, Alexis a great overall fit.
~:~ Bren MacLochlan ~:~
Cameron Bright
Chris Massoglia
Taylor Launter
So, I'm sure you're like, "Three different pictures for one character? Lolwot?" (I saved Bren for last for a reason, y'know.) Well, here's the dealio. I couldn't find an actor/singer/anything that had everything I was looking for. Sooo, I guess I've just gotta whip out my handy-dandy Celebro-Mixer. Cameron looks like Bren in the face and has the right hair color, Chris has the right hair style, and Taylor has the skin tone and eye color. Mix them all together, and BADABOOM! You've got Bren.
Well, that's that.
This is just my main group, though--I actually went through and found a picture for every character who gets a name. (Gosh, I love wasting time.) And technically speaking, this isn't even the full group. Two more characters join up later on...but even giving away their names will probably spoil something in the long-run, so I'm keeping my mouth shut.
Do you indulge in this guilty pleasure as well?
Which actors do you associate with your MC?
HAPPY WRITING, LOVELIES!
