moar pbs?

PART 1: Why did you choose who you did as the PBs for your characters?
PART 2: Who is your favourite PB to date?
PART 3: Which PB have you used most?
PART 4: Which PB are you most unsatisfied with?

PART THE FIRST
Borys Starosz as Stephen Crane/Cain Stephen
in my head cain had already been formed as a real army man. this is one of those rare occasions where it was the pb to fit the character, and not the other way around. i needed a boy--not quite yet a man--who was muscular with a lot of angsty, conflicted looks. i found borys fairly easily, to be honest. he was on the first page of the ABC section of modelhommes (at the time) and what really sold me to him was this picture. it was just so cain.

Rachel McAdams as Susan Glaspell
i don't really remember what went on in my head when i decided to make susie. i think i was just really itching to make a teacher, and i wanted it to be a girl because there was such a considerable lack of them. at this time, i wasn't too aware of how horribly i fail at girls. :P anyway, rachel was one of the very first girls to pop up in my head for susan, mostly because i love rachel, but i had a hard time finally deciding on her; in some instances i thought she'd look much too young. i think at one point i was torn between her and rachel weisz. but then eventually i decided to use her youth to my advantage, so then made susie the Rookie of the teachers, and i think it worked out quite well!

Zachary Quinto as Shirley Jackson/Sheridan Jackson
i was on my OMGILOVEBADGUYS streak when jackson was born. zachary quinto was my number one choice, right off the bat-- and no, it isn't only because he's in Heroes with nico, mmm~ zachary, to me, is just the right amount of charm and sleaze and OMGSOCREEPY. i dithered for a bit, trying to find others that might have been better, but in the end i stuck with zachary. and c'mon, don't even try to tell me he doesn't scare the pants off you. (oheydirtyjoke)

Santiago Figueora as Michel de Nostradamus/Mickey Ramos
mickey and casey were originally supposed to be lewis and carol. i shit you not. but somewhere along the line cristal and i realized they'd be kind of boring, besides they weren't really taking off in our head anyway, and so ~psychic~ mickey and casey were born. santiago and nicolas figueora had always been their pbs, so this is one example where the character was created around the face.

Cillian Murphy as Eugene O'Neill
i love cillian. i would do cillian. i would watch people do cillian. the character was created first, and he was originally supposed to look like this, but at the last minute i decided to switch to cillian because andris just wasn't working for me. the winner was when i stumbled upon a cillian icon that looked pretty damn close to what eugene really looked like. (shhhh, it's the eyes, i swear.)

Douglas Neitzke as Sylvia Plath/Victor Lucas
well obviously douglas looks nothing like sylvia. i actually don't remember if the face or the character came first, but after i'd made robert frost i came to the decision that, man, i need some Angst. at the same time (i think) i stumbled across ama's icon journal and there was beautiful douglas being beautiful. i think it happened like this-- i'd decided on a boy-shaped sylvia plath, and had him mostly worked out, and while searching for pbs i got lazy and remembered beautiful douglas and thought, waheey ohai luke~ and yes. i am so ~deep~

Natalie Portman as Katherine Anne Porter/Callie May Porter
because of the.. delicate nature of callie's actual business in the Springs (that is, to be tennessee's baby mama), i knew i needed a girl that had a sweet enough face that people just can't hate. XD; natalie is one of my girl crushes, and she was one of the first to pop up in my head. i have this real bad habit of trying to really match up authors with their pbs if i can, so as soon as i found this natalie icon i was sold.

Jonas Kesseler as Arthur Rimbaud/Jean Nicolas
basically, i needed a pretty little slut bunny boy. it was actually liz who directed me to lovely, lovely jonas, though i'd definitely seen him before (but i guess his thread wasn't in one of the first few pages at modelhommes when i'd been checking XD). he was perfect. it was his yummy bedroom eyes that won it over for me~

Andrew Smith as Sophocles/Sofronio Leandros
originally, soph was supposed to be pb'd by lars swenson. i had his icons all made and he was Good to Go as far as his application went. at around this time, i'd had andrew's modelhommes thread bookmarked as one of the many i can use later. i didn't go too far in andrew's pages, so i didn't see all of his pictures, but i definitely saw enough to know he was yummy. as such, though, i didn't get to see all his lovely softer pictures, where he makes just the loveliest dreamy look that was just so very soph. it wasn't until i stumbled across baobabble's set of icons for him that i saw those aforementioned looks, and i just knew right away that lars was out.

--AND BECAUSE I JUST HAVE WAY TOO DAMN MANY i'll only do my SL and ARP characters if you ask for them. i'll be more than happy to answer for any of them but it's rather pointless if no one wants to know about it. :3


PART THE SECOND
oh gosh that's a little mean... i think. mm. i think i'll have to say either Douglas Neitzke for Luke, Hayley Williams for TP, or Martin Cohn for Much. i'm probably biased as far as luke goes, but douglas does have very luke-esque photos that are just both tragic and beautiful at the same time. he's so fragile looking. and hayley williams makes the best damn faces ever. i originally wanted tp as a boy, but once i saw hayley i just KNEW she'd be perfect for the player. also martin cohn is just about the cutest damn thing in the whole entire world and he was just so perfect for much, he really helped shape a lot of what much is.


PART THE THIRD
um. none! i'm fairly certain this is my first time using any of these pbs. XD;


PART THE FOURTH
within PS, i think the pb i'm most unsatisfied with is... actually i think i pretty much lucked out on them all. but out of PS, i think i could have been a bit smarter about Jonas Sundstrom for brutus. he's a beautiful boy and i'd love to use him again, and i'd been so convinced before that he'd be perfect for brutus because of the puppy thing he has going on, but then i realize-- brutus has a little more balls than that, lol.
