When I started writing A Bitch Named Karma, I didn't really have a face for my main character, Lexi Marshall. She was sassy and could be a total bitch, but she was also vulnerable and just wanted to be loved. I knew her physical descriptions, but still had no face to go with them.
Then one day it just clicked. I am an avid All My Children fan...been so for almost 2 decades. And one of my alltime favorite characters is Greenlee Smythe, played by Rebecca Budig. She has everything- stylish and sexy, sweet big brown eyes, but has no problem playing a mean and nasty bitch.
She would be the perfect Lexi Marshall!!

Wow, I don't think I was too far off. I'm happy you could find someone that worked with what you had in your thoughts. I have that issue with a couple of mine. I just find the right thing that matches my vision.
ReplyDeleteI always have a hard time finding something to match my vision of my own characters. I like your though, that first picture yeah I can totally see it. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I was totally off, but I love her for Lexi. Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteWow beautiful pictures. I got everything but the eyes right. :D
