My Photoshop skills are decidedly not-leet.

I still think a little color treatment would help in visualization. ;)

I see this guy every day in the mirror who's a dead ringer for my comic's main character.
Provided, of course, that I drew normal human proportions. :shifty:

Using anthropomorphic animals for main characters cut down the chances of this happening a pretty significant amount.

My toons are based on my family, so the similarities are intentional. However, fesworks says that my rendition of the husband character in my comic "Bill" looks just like Fesworks in real life.

Avoiding the obvious, I've met people who looked disturbingly like myself and who I'd swear might have been my clones. Except they acted nothing like me. Plus, I have an unnerving tendency to ALWAYS run into another person named Aaron. Drives me mad. Even my early comics, I have a roommate named....Aaron.

I've thought about this a lot. I think these people would fit.

Vivica A. Fox as Madison

Alexis Bledel as Sarah.

Image
Scarlett Johannson as Lillian.

I'll add more later.

Whenever I see Scarlet Johansen's bust I remember this time I saw part of an award show where one of the red carpet interviewers made some comment about her outfit and started bouncing her left breast up and down.

Her expression was priceless.

Why do you people have such pretty people in mind for your comics? It's not natural!

I don't think it matters what the person looks like when I choose actors to play my characters.

If I saw anyone who looked like any of my characters, that would be freaky as all hell.

Though Bob is based off of a song I made about a hamster I once had, but his name wasn't Bob. And one of my cat characters has a fur pattern based off of my cat.

I recognized it from the picture.

Okay actually I just remember which side she was standing on and which side the interviewer was standing on and that he didn't reach across her to do it.

Anyone who smiles as much as a Lego person in real life, is probably waiting to gut you with a fillet knife the second your back is turned.

I don't think there are too many people around that look like my characters, it'd look pretty weird to come across one.

I dare anyone to find someone that looks like any of them. There probably isn't anyone that does. I'm so confident in this fact, that I'll make one piece of guest art for anyone that does.
