Character inspiration…
I posted a lot of this on the Plotting Princesses Blog – but I decided to make it ‘interesting’…
Everyone who votes and leaves a comment will be enterred for a drawing of Medusa A Love Story, a button, and magnet too…
You do not have to vote for my top contenders, you just have to leave a suggestions. A name will be picked from all those that leave a comment and I’ll contact you to get your address.
So, take your time and think about this. This is what I’m looking for – ARES:
Imagine, if you will, a pretty mental dude. He lives for battle, death, violence, and blood. He’s a visceral reaction, a nightmare, an adrenaline jolt that leaves no doubt that he will kill, torture, and maim without the slightest hesitation or regret. And yet, I need to make him irrisistable to Aphrodite – without softening him one iota. Finding that person, visually, has been tricky.
He has to have crazy eyes. The kind that intrigue, terrify, and demand… So, there you have it. I know, he sounds awesome, right?
You can pick from my top two contender (below) or give me someone new to consider – just leave your answer in the comments! I’ll draw the winner on the morning of the 15th!
Here are my top contenders:
Michael Fassbender Daniel Craig

That is a great picture of Daniel Craig. Strong tortured unapologetic hero vibe.
Michael definitely. Something i can’t pinpoint about that photograph. Like he could gaze at you and you could feel both alarmed and flattered at the same time (also, i googled him to back up my thoughts and his star sign was Aries. Coincidence, i think not) Hope it helps
I am a Micheal Fessbender fan so I vote for him. I also think Colin Farrell might be a good look from what you describe.
I vote michael also! That look in his eyes is amazing.
What about Aaron Eckhart or Jude Law, I don’t know why but I think they would be good candidates.
Aira – You are the winner! I’ll be contacting you shortly for your mailing address! Thanks for weighing in on Ares!
