Round 02: Casting Call

[tinny]

Oi, this was a difficult challenge! It required thinking about which canons (books, in my case) to icon, and then finding the right actors for the parts, and then manipping them to look the way I wanted them to. Phew. I hope I found good ones!

#1 A cast suggestions for the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin

I concentrated on my otp for this book series:



Freema Agyeman as Essun | Ntare Guma Bmaho Mwine as Alabaster | Taika Waititi as Innon


#2 A cast suggestion for the October Daye series by Seanan MacGuire

Here I concentrated on Toby and her boyfriends:



Felicia Day as Toby Daye | Sean Astin as Connor | Oscar Isaac as Tybalt

And then, because I just always love iconing Zhu Yilong (and seeing him act), I went about it from the other direction and came up with

Some ideas for Zhu Yilong

Those don't technically make sense, because Zhu Yilong doesn't speak English. Ignore this minor impediment ;), and enjoy the thought experiment:

a) James Bond - he can look good in a suit, but he can also fight



b) Marty McFly - he has comedic timing, and he can also play the guitar

These are so cool! I love the Taika one the most! But all of them are so fun and creative :)

I'm not familiar with either of the book canons but I love the icons, especially the last green-sparkly-eyed one. :D (In the others I can't even tell if they were manipped, but I'm assuming they were, so that's kinda really cool when it's invisible!)

And yay for the 'cast Zhu Yilong in everything' series. :D (It could always be non-English versions!) I approve of the James Bond 100%, and I don't know the second canon, but I can only tell that the icon with the whole other character in it is manipped, not the others. xD
