Interesting choices. You picked that guy for Gimble based solely on the facial hair, didn't you?

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to imagine Morena Baccarin swordfighting with demons for a couple hours. :smallbiggrin:

Why don't we have a drool smiley?

The one you picked for Mialee doesn't look nearly strung-out enough. Don't you have some mug shots for heroin addicts?

Her face is too full as well. Mialee's just skin and bones, except in some of the newer pictures.

You can't -have- a realistic Mialee. Seriously, look at her pictures--she's deformed. Her face is made out of melting clay.

MrNexx
2007-02-03, 11:08 PM
You're right. She'd need SERIOUS meth abuse to look like that.

Urg... I don't know, a lot of the D&D women don't look all that great... I mean Lidda's kinda green-lookin' Mialee has been elaborated upon, Vadania's almost as bad except her costume isn't as ridiculous. Ember looks like a DUDE, and Allhandra... well... look at her LEG! it's much more noticeable if you view the picture upside down... seriously...

Dude. WTF. Someone not set her broken bone or something?

I still don't get the "Alhandra leg" thing. What? Does it suggest some deep chromosomal difference? What?

Dhavaer
2007-02-04, 03:18 AM
Her right leg is bent in a very peculiar manner.

Deformeties aside, I don't think Morena is really 'built' enough to be Alhandra.

Why not just switch the actresses for Alhandra and Mialee.

Great job, by the way... Now do the psions!!!

Bears With Lasers

Um, because Mialee is deformed and Morena Baccarin is bloody gorgeous.

Dhavaer
2007-02-04, 06:15 AM
Mialee has had some decent artwork. Most of the original art was pretty shoddy, but on the whole it's gotten much better in the more recent books.

On the other hand, Mialee is sometimes shown as very pale, with Morena is not.

Come to think of it, those of us who watch Stargate should realize that Morena Baccarin ought to play whomever the iconic Psion is.

That's telekinesis, Mitchell...

Hmmm... Here's a different option for Mailee (http://moblog.co.uk/blogs/13/moblog_1a644e6d61f3a.jpg)

Is there anyone who looks like Morthos?

Well, I would say "what about Devis, the 3.0 bard," but he's very obviously David Bowie. Well, a young David Bowie.

Come on, Ember isn't that bad if you can overlook the veins in her arms. :smallwink: Lidda suffers from the same post-apocalyptic cyberpunk would-be artist that spoilt Hennet (come on! that many-buckled leg?!). Mialee, of course, is a green alien from outer space, completely beyond ugly.

Alhandra is a nice concept preposterously ruined by bad artwork. Just look at her "armor"! Sheesh! Did she glue that together from the contents of a trash can?

Who is Vadania?

Calista Flockhart?

THERE we are! Or one of the Olsen twins! Someone who looks completely lost and soulless...

Who's Alhandra? I don't recall her for any of the-

oh, she's the Paladin, isn't she? Funny, I'd never heard her name before, and I don't ever recall seeing that caption in the PHB.

Ember looks a little like someone once saw a picture of Grace Jones hauling Sean Connery(or whoever was Bond in that movie) over her head and thought "Hey, that's who our Monk will be!"

I actually think Micheal Jackson in drag would make a good Mialee. Or, ya know, Latoya Jackson, which may or may not be the same thing.

I'm surprisingly happy with everyone you picked. Although, I agree that Morena is a little to.....pretty to be Alhandra. Good choices all all the other though.

Ben Kingsley in really good shape, or that Imhotep guy.

I assume you mean from The Mummy and The Mummy Returns. If thats the case then Arnold Vosloo (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0903677/) would make a great choice.

AtomicKitKat
2007-02-07, 12:39 AM
Yeah, Vosloo. Bald, lean, and sorta mean. That bald guy from the D&D movie with Irons and Birch would work too.
