a bit of lime

It is now.

Skadi is a Norse goddess/giantess (there’s a lot of overlap) who is associated with winter, archery, and a deep and abiding hatred of Loki.

I seem to be listening to/watching quite a few angel-themed things lately.

Like this one and the one just above! Now I know how to use Skadi’s fuzzy bra!

So I’m attempting to do a picture of a certain American TV actor, and was wondering if I’d done a good enough likeness that people could recognize who it was supposed to be. Guesses?

I’m horrible with faces, Sunni D guessed this.
David Giuntoli? as Nick in Grimm.

Nope, though I can see why Sunni D thought so. I was about to say I should go back and add a wrinkle or two to my picture, because the guy I’m trying to portray is a little older, but then I looked it up. He is older — by a whopping 6 years. I think they make him look older for his role. Wonder if there’s any way I can make the eyebrows more … I dunno, “feathery,” I guess. That would be more accurate to the guy I have in mind.

David Arquette?

Layers of translucent? When I did a portrait of Rod Serling, I had to do that a lot. Feathery can be gotten with small Hair, mostly translucent showing only one of 3 colors, the same treatment of the crackling or fire Energy items in ItemRight.
Good luck. Human faces are HARD. But then, I should stick to what I understand, right?

Nope, not him.

“Feathery” was probably the wrong word. “Wispy” might have been better. Behold:

However, I think translucence and using hair items might still be helpful advice. Thanks!

[Herr D]

Sunni D guessed again.
Karl Urban?

[Mad Jack]

I think it’s James Roday (Shawn Spencer from Psych)…

[Lime]

Neither Karl Urban nor James Roday.

I think Sunni D’s guesses are most similar in appearance to the person I’m trying to portray. Makes me wonder if she might not be familiar with the actor in question, because she’s been so close I think she’d probably have guessed him by now otherwise.

I’m wondering if I should give a hint, to help people rule out scads of dark-haired white dudes, or if that would remove the element of “did I do a good enough job people can tell who it’s supposed to be?” and just turn it into a guessing game …

If you’d like a hint, his first name starts with M

Sunni D said, “No way–Misha Collins?!”
