Play Bys for Roleplaying

[(Anonymous)]

So, while I have RPed for a while, I have never used a played-by or face claim picture for my characters, though other people I've played with have. This has got me to wondering who exactly is considered "acceptable" for using as a PB? Actors in movies and television? Fashion models, singers, well-known celebrities that don't necessarily fall under the above? Broadway stars? Whatever else I didn't think of?

And on a similar note, what are the acceptable sources of images for PBs? Is there a database of PB images for role play, or do people just use Google image search?

Question is mostly for my own curiosity; while I theoretically might consider using a PB someday, my original characters tend to be not conventionally attractive and finding accurate portrayals for them would be dicey at best. Especially the women.

http://asylums.insanejournal.com/pb_updates/ is generally the best, search by tags

http://www.hollow-art.com/ has a huge database but I find the quality less good

I use a lot of 'play bys' for original fiction, not to copy the person's looks/description but sometimes I'll see someone (be it actor/singer/model/musician/whatever) who just resonates with me as the character I'm writing. So I often make icons/have little picture folders of that person in my writing files for reference, like facial expressions/how they might stand, etc.

Honestly, I just trawl Google for pics. Though it's admittedly easier if you know a name because it's damn hard to find a specific person when you're just googling 'blue eyed dark haired guy' or some such thing. XD
