So one of the things I do when I start a new story is consider what the characters look like, mostly because I'm a hugely visual person and I need to see the character in my head. Sometimes I'll go to actors for inspiration; other times I'll look through model portfolios. That means in between projects I look at a lot of pretty men, lol.
Anyway, last night Pepper and I got to talking about our next project. We're attempting (notice the word attempting, though she thinks it's more than doable) to write a 30-35k m/m murder mystery by 10/31. We would have started sooner, but we only just finished up another obligation yesterday (another priest story, yes we have a priest kink). So I started looking at models and I found this guy:
His name is Leandro Okabe, and he's half Brazilian, half Japanese. Needless to say, I'm totally stealing the way he looks for my next hero, lol.
