Today I'm participating in the
Dark YA blogfest and our topic is movie fun. We pick a dark YA novel and add the actors to play the characters. Since Hunger Games already has these things, or most of them, I decided to post the actors I see playing the roles of Dark Waters, my book. :) Woohoo! This is gonna be fun!
 |
Allura's Sisters: |
 |
| Arlana |
 |
| Cara |
 |
| Celine |
Femina Mari from other Shoal's:
 |
Vanessa. Allura is in charge of providing for Vanessa's Pledging ceremony.
|
 |
| Miyu. She's been a Provider for years. She's Allura's trainer, preparing her for the ceremony. |
You wanna see some more? Okay, so David is a Allura's love interest. Well, first he's her food interest. ;) Anyways... I can't find a pic that resembles him. He's a Greek-looking teenage guy. Difficult to find that picture online. To me, he looks like my hubby. :) But, here's a taste:
 |
Hehehehe. Hey, she talks about his neck a lot! ;)
David's bike
|
How about a little more?
 |
| Deadman Island. Near the San Juan Islands |
 |
Hummel Lake. An actual lake on the island Allura lives on.
|
 |
| Lagoon on San Juan Island, WA where Allura lives |
I wish I could add more, like the rest of the Femina Mari, um, well, lets say from the waist down and hope that doesn't sound bad. But I think I'll save that for a later post. :)
I totally do this too (find actors that fit my characters) :) I have a playlist for my current WIP and it also has two Florence + the Machine songs on it ('Shake it Out' and 'Never Let Me Go'). I guess great minds think alike! (Oh, and I've been listening to 'ET' on repeat lately! LOL
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with Florence + The Machine's new album, in particular "What The Water Gave Me"-- awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow! You've gone all out. This was fun. The pictures are great, you totally sucked me.
ReplyDeleteYou gave us such a nice tease of your WiP through the cast photos and setting photos. Gives a lot of room for thought :D
ReplyDeleteE.R. King & Bee~ I'm crazy when it comes to this stuff. It's apart of my research phase. I have a file on each book I write with the outfits, hair styles, places, etc. It helps me explain well and stay consistant throughout the story. I almost added my pictures of the high school and their team shirts. ;)
ReplyDeleteJaime & M.J.~ You won't believe it, but I just found them! I have loved the song Heavy In My Arms on the Eclipse soundtrack, but had no clue who sang it. Then I was on Spotify a bit ago and found the group. Low and behold they sang that Eclipse song I love so much! Yah, I'm a little slow in that sort of thing. :)
ReplyDeleteYA people have the most fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun exercise!
:) Haha! I think so Heidi! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. Great that you are using your own book, too. Your nature photos are awesome. I live in WA, too! Your book sounds cool.
ReplyDeleteNot a bad playlist, just next time set it so it doesn't start upon page load!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe! Nah, I like it like this. That way when people are viewing my character's pictures, they can have a sense of not only their looks, but their story due to the emotion of the music. Of course, I will have to set it not to start automatically once I add a new post. :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you worked out this Dark YA post! And the music...It rocks! The pics are beautiful. I really had fun with this. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteNoice! I do this sometimes with my stories. Does David wear a winter coat in your book, or was it that this model's neck is just right? =)
ReplyDeleteHaha! No, Rain. I don't remember him wearing one winter coat. :) Great neck though! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love how you found pictures of your characters and setting! It makes the story seem more real. I've done this before but never posted them. Great blog! :)
