Description
Ninja action.So, I got carried away with casting Weaponry with modern film actors. Keep in mind this is not perfect (ages are definitely in need of a little adjustment). But the most challenging aspect was finding non-white actors. Unfortunately I ended up casting a few of the browner characters (the Nonians, the Uvatsperan and Sperans) with white Actors simply because their features fit, or at least mostly fit. If anyone out there has better ideas for some of them (Gun, for instance) - please let me know!
Arrow: media.screened.com/uploads/0/9…
(He looks as close as a real live human is going to get to the stylised way I draw Arrow - the huge brown eyes, the slender girly look, the alabaster skin, he just needs the right hair)
Blade: 31.media.tumblr.com/0ccaa02193…
(for the endless pages of blond actors out there, it was hard to find one that was the right combination of handsome but still a classic example of Aryan beauty)
Gun: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia…
(This was the hardest one. He's got the bright eyes, the shaped jaw, the right build, but he needs the right hair, the darker complexion and a sharper point to his nose)
Trebuchet: 24.media.tumblr.com/e13d133601…
(Give him the right colours, shape his eyebrows, but he sure has the right jaw, nose and cheekbones)
Target: images.fandango.com/r91.2/Imag…
(specifically him when he's more tanned and younger, and obviously, give him freckles)
Shrapnel: hellogiggles.com/wp-content/up…
(The man that started it all! Though, alternately Rodrigo Santoro, though he's a little too finely featured and chiseled, but his hair in 'Love, Actually' was bang on.)
Shield: static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/G…
(this guy is actually so perfect, I don't have any other comments!)
Cannon: static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/G…
(Build him up to be super muscly and give him the right hair and a missing tooth?)
Sights: www.interviewmagazine.com/file…
(obviously, he'd need to be a little older, but the features are about right once you add all the scars)
Grenade: www.hairstylepedia.com/images/…
(He's got the chin, the bright eyes, the round features. Give him the heterochromia and the silly mustache)
Anyway, that's what I picked out! I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!

"Not that this isn't wonderfully diverting..."
I laughed. XD

Yay! I really find Sights' droll delivery amusing, but I know dry senses of humour aren't everyone's cuppa. :3

I'm glad~ There are some I'm still not happy with, but I don't have any improvements to offer yet...

Oh my goodness I just looked at all the 'film cast' and I have MANY opinions. First off I ADORE the casting for both Shield and Grenade, Shield especially, like WOW! I also quite like the casting for Shrapnel (though obviously skin tone is not accurate) because he has that sort of wildness to him and Trebuchet (same again) because his features really seem to fit Thomas Sangster as Arrow kind of make me involuntarily gag but then Arrow is obviously difficult to cast. I thought Blade's was one of the more accurate ones but as I find Blade devilishly handsome, that didn't really fully come across. And finally as much as I love Robert Sheenan, it's a no from me (I think I may have to look into one for him myself...
).
As for the panel: Blade continues to amuse me and I'm looking forward to what trouble is stirred up.

Yah, I'm still really frustrated with the Blade and Gun casting, but Gun specifically. I need to find someone better for it, but I don't have any ideas. I'd love to hear your suggestions if you have any improvements?

Sights is clearly a master of Ballet, as indicated in panel one.

oh, hahaha! only if ballet has started accepting dying swans in their ranks! He is, however, very soft-stepping! He could be a cat-burglar!

I demand to one day see him all decked out in some swan-y black tutu. I betcha any money if you threw in some black rose petals everywhere (or even without) it would oddly .... well, I think he could pull it off. Which is weird.
