When I write OCs I do my best to cast an actor with the character as if I were casting for the show. With the character of Martin Sherwood I had some trouble because there was no one that quite fit. There was a lot of ‘sort of like this actor but younger/older/shorter/taller.’
So, for the Christchurch support auction I bid on some custom artwork offered up by the amazing
Shelley Du. I gave her the list of people I thought Martin looked sort of like as well as his parts in the stories and an overall work up of his personality.
She gave me back this amazing piece of art!!!!!
The really full sized picture is about 9MG but I'll try to figure out how to post a slightly compressed version of it. I personally think the hands are amazing.
