actually that sounds pretty good kavi. A young liv tyler with glowy skin. ;) Yeah i also kinda agree with you about picking an actor to play character's in books. It really does tend to influence the way you picture them from then on. I also find that a near-match (or near-miss!) is worse than an actor who is completely different from how i previously imagined a character.

how many posts were deleted from this thread? It seems like almost an entire page is gone....
Yikes!!! I'm gone!!! oh well, my posts would have just made bridie mad :D (I want to be maerad tooooo!!!!!!!!)

I think that if I see enough near-matches, I can start to picture my idea of what the character looks like even better. It's just easier to combine the pics of the actors that I've seen. :D

YES!!!! that's exactly what I do! I see many different actors/actresses and combine their features. That's what I've done with maerad and cadvan so far (not really sure about some of the other characters)

what do you think!?!

hey thats a pretty good look alike! But i think that everyone is gona have a slightly different idea of how each character looks no matter who u believe they look like.
i think mearad would have to be played by a very natural and striking person, as that is how i personally see the character in my head.

[piglover4551]

those are pretty good...but i tho she would have just a little bit more defined features..like the hair on the second one

[Rheingold]

Her hair in the second one looks about right....Just the wrong color. (Which, of course, doesn't matter!)

Like piglover, though, I think she needs more defined features.

[piglover4551]

HMM..yeah...her hair would look better....but i still like the simpleness to it..ya kno what i mean? it looks more natural

[Kavi]

i think she looks nice... but personally not as maerad. each for their own.. hehe, unless they make a movie, (shock horror)! i'm still going with an extremely young liv tyler..... logistics of which i'm ignoring ofcourse!
