•••I need a picture for a character in a book I'm writing!!! HELP!!!!•••?
I need a picture of a Latino or half-Latino 16-17 year old teenage guy about 5'11" with a slightly overgrown buzz cut (preferably with a slightly boyish face, and NO facial hair). I don't want him to be too tan, I'd rather him have slightly lighter skin than, say, George Lopez. An Italian guy is fine as long as he could pass for at least half-Latino. The character's name is Erik Rodriguez and he's a sexy, flirty player who in addition to playing girls, he plays also football and baseball. He dresses slightly gangsterish but he's not the kind of person that wears chains and grills and shanks people. So basically, no polo-shirts. He's NOT emo. I also need a picture of another 16-17 year old teenage guy about 6'2" with skin more tan than Erik (above) and short dark brown hair and eyes. Still, NO facial hair. He's a really nice, loud, funny guy. His name is Kyle Westcott and can be either preppy or skater looking. So NOT emo. I would prefer this picture for him to be smiling :D and he is also very HOT. He plays basketball and has tons of friends. Last of all, I need a 16-17 year old teenage girl who's normal (not too skinny/thick) around 5'5" with straight light brown hair and long sidebangs. Like above, NOT emo, NO facial hair :3 blah blah blah. She's very pretty and has pale flawless skin and blue eyes. Her name is Hailey Morgan and she hates it when guys hit on her. She has a few very close friends. So HUGE THANKS if you find anything, like even just a website with models or something. I'm not picky whether it's just the face or full body. Oh just one more thing: please no HUGE celebs like Justin Bieber *pukes*

There is one of my friend who is very stubborn. She doesn't listen to anyone. She loves her parents but never express it to them. She is very independent, very challenging. She doesn't talk to many prople. Owns an Avenger bike and ride it with such a pride. I have seen girls riding bikes but owning one and carrying it off so well is something which i rarely have come across. She hates shopping!! And hates using any costmetics….So now while reading, you would have pictured her as a tom boy and carries an attitude.Now continuing,the other day we were walking on the road. A small boy came running and asked money. He told he has not eaten for a week. I gave him Rs 20 and started walking. We just started walking, but she just stopped and looked back and called that boy. And asked him if he wants to eat with us!He was confused and told no. Then she told, no come along with us we will all have food together. Thats when all 3 of is went to Mc Donalds and had burgers.The boy was sooo happy and i could see the satisfaction is his face now which i didnt see when i gave him Rs20 note.Now what is the picture that you get about her??For me its not the looks or appearance but its the actions or deeds that defines someone's character.
HELP! How do you picture this character??? SEE DETAILS :) ?
Writing a book... yada yada... and there is this character who i adore and he is prolly my fav character but i'm having problems picturing him! So here's his description, and maybe you guys can give me some insite on what you think he should look like: he has a funny-sarcastic but sweet kinda sense to him, and he is like a bro kinda character. he's really a yo bro kinda guy, witty, and logical. He is a really good skiier, and hopes to be one very soon, and he hates warm weather. He loves the cold (duh) and yeah he is kinda loose and chill and yeah! haha I know that wasn't written with an author feel but that's the best way to describe him in a few words without giving away the book! :) btw, he is aged 17, so keep that in mind, and he has to have blue eyes (special book reasons)
Do you try to find pictures of your characters in your story?
Not really... But I used to try doing that. What it did was it totally messed up the image in my head of the character. I tried googling Katsa from Graceling, but instead of getting a picture of someone with long, dark brown hair and one blue eye and one green eye, I got a picture of that weirdo midget girl in the book trailer, which looks NOTHING like how I pictured her in the story. So for the rest of the novel I had that bad picture in my head, and it took some hard brain sweat and imagining to get the right picture back in my head. After that incident, I sort of stopped doing that. I didn't want to risk losing the image of a perfectly pictured character in my head. But you know, that's me. Different stuff works for different people.
Can you describe a character's looks off of someone else?
For instance I was thinking of writing a book and basing the main female character's looks after this character named Anna Beth on this show called Hart of Dixie and basing the guy she ends up with after this guy on this show The Originals named Klaus but will it be too obvious if I describe their looks to the letter. Can I do that or do I have to imagine them off the top of my head which I have to admit is kind of hard for me to do. I usually write short stories and have always based the characters looks off of someone else.
Reader here.It depends on a few things. First, when I read, I feel like I don't see the words, but the actual events happening in my head as if it were a movie.That being said, here's what effects how I see the characters in my head.1. Description. Usually the author fits in some sort of physical description of the characters. If they mention that the character id a short balding male in his mid 40s with a paunch, that's what I'll see in my head. It won't be related to anyone I know, just a generic short dumpy 40ish guy.2. Name. Generally for every name, an image comes into my head. If I see the name Steve, I think of one type of person as opposed to hearing Greg, Bob, Jeff. Generally they are based on people I've come across, either characters on tv/movies or in real life. So if a description of the character comes later, I instantly change the image in my head to the author's description. If not, I'll stick with the prototypical "Steve".3. Movies. If I'm reading a book after I've seen the movie, then the characters all look and sound like their movie counterpart, even if it clashes with the description. For example, in the Godfather, Fredo was described as the physically toughest of all the three brothers. However in the movie he is kind of a mousy guy. I can't help but see "book" Fredo as heis portrated by John Cazale, even if it differs from Mario Puzo's description.4. Voices. If the characters in have a counterpart in a movie, then I hear that voice. If I'm reading, for example, The Hunt for Red October, John Ryan looks and sounds like Alec Baldwin.* If not, there are generic man and woman voices that I tend to assign all the characters with a little variation based on their character. Male characters that are, say, short older blow-hards will always sound the same, no matter what the book, even if they "look" different in my head.*Jack Ryan will always look and sound like Alec Baldwin to me, and not Harrison Ford. I guess I automatically go with the portrayal I like better if there are multiple actors.
I'm looking for a celebrity or model I can picture as a character for the book Im writing?
The book Im writing, I literally came up with the idea five minutes ago and I fell in love with it. So basically, new girl (Clarity if shes blonde, Fawn is she's brunette) who is a new student at a high school. She's got a tomboy style but a girly mind. The girl used to play football at her old school but at her new school, it's different. Girls aren't not allowed to play football, but it's never come up before so they have to let her tryout. She makes it and starts to fall for the football quarterback. But since he's only into girly girls, she pays this emo or goth or loner (haven't decided) to turn her into a hot girly girl since he dates alot of them? Not sure why she will ask him yet :P But in the end she will prob end up with the Emo/goth/loner dude. The Football guy is probably pictured by either Alex Pettifer or Lucas Till Emo/goth/loner dude is pictured as either Logan Lerman or Munro Chambers I pictured maybe shaliene Woody, or hayden pannettiere. Any suggestions? PLEASE ANSWER! I IS SOOOOOOO DESPERATE!
You know, I love to write. I’m not very good at it, but, I have gotten better over time. One of the reasons for this is simple, I wrote. I use every bit of my imagination to flesh out my characters, locations, and situations, all in an effort to, not only bring them to life, but to get better at the art of writing.If I were to tell you what Alex looks like to me, that wouldn’t be the Alex in your story. It would be the Alex in my imagination. One that would eventually be drafted into one of my stories.My advice, dream up your own Alex. Write out a dialogue between the two of you, or write out a phone conversation with an Alex who mistakenly called you rather than their mother/wife/Brother- whatever. Do that, and you will find out everything you need to about who Alex truly is.
