You know facedoubles are a thing, right?

No, I was completely ignorant of the very concept before you pointed out... Or maybe I just felt that facedoubles are better to be avoided, both because of mine and others personal preferences.

Iiiiii need a facecast for a genderqueer (i.e. non-genderfluid) Asian Sadde.

What do you need for a Sadde?

[pedromvilar]

The relevant constraints are genderqueer and AtLA Fire Nation father, Fire Nation/Water Tribe mother, so that's mostly Chinese.

So I'm considering bringing in a new character, but I'm stuck on facecasts.

Does anyone know of an actor, any gender, who has long red hair that is typically braided?
They don't need to have existing icons. I don't mind making my own from photos.

Also, since I'm already asking for one character, I'm trying to find face casts for two brothers.
I've successfully found individual face casts for both of them, but unfortunately, I can't find two that look related.
So far I have, Dennis Oh and Lee Byung-hun

Dennis Oh is probably a better match to my mental image than Lee Byung-hun. Does anyone know an actor who looks like he could be related to Dennis Oh or Lee Byung-hun?

Thank you!

I'm leaving off the names for these characters, because they were created during my terrible naming phase and it'd just be embarrassing.

Also, Kappa is right about Dreamwidth messing up icons. It insists on messing up a lot of mine, even after I've fixed them up on my computer. I think it may be the program I'm using, they aren't properly compressed so dreamwidth insist on doing it again and then messes up the cropping. Does anyone know of a free program that works for them? Thank you!

I don't know if it's typically braided, but there's "Jessica Warren" from "Bones" (example), played by Laura Spencer, who has her hair in a plait on the show. Is that what you mean?

I haven't actually tried it with Dreamwidth yet, just the Glowfic Constellation, so I'm not sure how they interact, but you can use Paint.NET to select a region of a picture, then "Image > Crop to Selection", and then you can resize it manually to 100x100 using "Image > Resize" and entering 100 for the width and height (de-select "Maintain aspect ratio" if the region you selected wasn't properly square, and it'll stretch/squish it to fit). If you want something more heavy duty, GIMP is like a free Photoshop.

Thanks! She could maybe work? The braid is what I mean, but I don't know if the actress would work well with only the face casts from Bones.

Awesome! Thank you.
