Hey Charity, I know it can be sooo frustrating to find someone suitable! I almost pulled my hair out (on several occasions) over Drusilla! I found that with every character I play, I pick out a picture of someone pretty quickly and then later on I'll change it to someone far more fitting. We really try to have everyone refrain from using celebrities (even if it's so difficult sometimes!) because of how that could complicate things IC, especially if an IC reference to a celebrity comes up. Would you be willing to compromise a little? Instead of using Emma Roberts herself, how about a Emma Roberts 'double'? Here is a picture of someone who just looks a lot like Emma Roberts: http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/ ... 13-376.jpg ( I think the girl on the right is the lookalike) or http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r143 ... 000023.jpg. In the meantime, if you PM me over some specs about the PC I'd be more than happy to help you find a picture! I love finding pictures of characters! ^_^

It just can't be made publicly available or posted on forums as a headshot if it's of a celebrity, as stated in the recently-bumped portrait guidelines: RT wrote: Images used must not be of a famous person that most people would recognize. This includes but is not limited to celebrities. Enforcement of that has been extremely lax since before I joined the server. I actually didn't even know it was a rule. But it's been on the books for quite some time, just not enforced, though that last part's changing.  Dru has a good idea there, about finding a lookalike to post publicly. Some other people have used drawn portraits in the past.

I found a picture on NW Vault that might do. If my Photoshop skills fail to turn her hair brown though then I might take you up on that offer. XD

 This was just real quick, but somewhat brunette. If you want it more than that, I can keep working on it. _________________ ~ShalynArater~..... Cray Calcifer Fencrow - Xabriel Seth RaventongueGryffindor - Gryffindor

Found a pic finally. Thanks for people's help. The only matches that came up when I ran it through Google Image Search were the ones on NW Vault, so I'm happy. A little grumpy looking, but I guess she got photographed on a bad day lol.

I will be doing another update very very soon! I'd like to have it in by Friday, no later. So if you want to update or make a bio for your character, please think about doing so. You can also PM me with a picture of your character if you would rather do that!
Please remember that no well-known celebrities will be put in the pack. There are a few that I accidentally put in the last pack, since I'm not a die hard celebrity fan, but I will not be putting any in this update. I'm mainly talking about famous actors or musicians. I won't be updating any portraits that have been used by a previous player either. Sorry! I'll send a PM to those who have used previous portraits by another player. I believe I have told everyone about their celebrity portraits at the moment.
Thanks guys!
