I wouldn't mention Tom Cruise in this thread. The pure hate for him might burn your face off.
Sir  Reginald.
I will miss you, my friend Mdodd. May you find peace.
Snowy,  I am rooting for you. I hope you remain happy and as comfortable as possible.

It would be almost as bad as suggesting Justin Bieber for Thomas.
Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine. Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine. Heal what has been hurt, change the fates design. Save what once was lost, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine.

For Mdodd. Rest in peace friend.

Drip, Drip, Drop.

I'm still holding out for Ryan Cartwright for Butters.

I don't think we could handle that. It might make us go crazy,

I wasn't suggesting that Tom Cruise play ANYBODY from The Dresden Files, but was just comparing him to Quinto in general looks.

Justin Bieber connected in ANY to The Dresden Files is hideously bad.  I CAN'T STAND Bieber.

The only time I enjoyed seeing Bieber on screen was in CSI when his character got shot multiple times and killed.

IMHO, Matt Gordon from The Dresden Files TV show was fine as Butters.

Well, it was almost that in the tv show. He was a coroner assistant

I'd go with Richard Ayoade as Butters, actually.

And for some reason, I've just realized that my mental image of Arturo Genosa is Stanley Tucci.

My Dresden Files Purity Rating is 40%. It'd be higher if I could find the time to actually play the DFRPG.

I can't really see Stanley Tucci as a lovestruck porn director.  I have trouble envisioning him as anyone in the series, truthfully...

I keep hearing him in Undercover Blues "My name... is Muerte..."
Although I also liked him in Midsummer Night's Dream and he does a passably decent villain, especially when it's animated.

Once upon a time... I would have said Michael Ironside for Morgan...  Especially in SF and SK; Morgan was such an ass...

This thread is an attempt to have folks share, through pictures/drawings/etc., the essence of how they see Dresden characters, when they create or come across them.  Personally, I have no artistic ability whatsoever, so when I see a photo that strikes a chord, I like to share it.  If there is any other art that anyone has come across, that strikes the essence of the Dresdenverse, I'd like to see it.

I frequently peruse different artists at DeviantArt.com.  Every once in a while, I find one that really stands out, and that's the case with Jaime Ibarra.  He seems to capture things in his photos that make them unique.  You can check out his profile here.

Renaissance Fair Knight.


Renaissance Fair... Fae?




Why this rant in the DF Books section?  Because while perusing his album, I came across pictures that somehow managed to capture the essence of a few Dresden character profiles to me.  The first was a collection of pictures of a model/photographer named Meagan, who captured an early Molly Carpenter to me.

Early Molly Carpenter.





But when I came across this picture, it inspired me to post here.  This is a picture of an un-named model/subject that is the perfect essence of Karrin Murphy, or at least how I see her.
