Meme: PB Meme!

[life_inshadow]

Because we haven't done this since 2010, if the tags can be believed, add I suspect a lot of us want an excuse to talk about our newbies anyhow:

Originally from solo_sword:

So for those of you who have never had to choose a PB, I envy you because it can be very very hard. For those who have, who do you use? Why did you choose them? Or do you have any future journals you want to talk about how you searched high and low to find that one perfect face for your character, or complain how you haven't?

Victor Mancha took forever and a day, to the point where my app did not have a final PB named in it.

He's hard both because his face is pretty distinctively drawn, and because the original colorist decided he had green eyes. Which are quite lovely, but not exactly easy to match if you're also looking for somebody Latino who is not Gael Garcia Bernal. (Gael just doesn't look like the comics to me, and he's hard to find icons of at the right age anyhow.)

Anyhow, I had two matches that were close but not PERFECT and was on about my third trawl through pb_updates when I spotted some older images of Tyler Posey. I'd only seen icons from Teen Wolf, which are often a bit jocky for Vic. But when he looks like this, it's easy to see him as a match for this.

... other than the damn eyes.
