02ranger he/him Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I know this sounds like a weird question but it's been driving me nuts. I just finished FE and started WoA not long ago, and the whole time I've read both books the cover has bugged me cause Vin looks familiar. Was she drawn to appear like some actress or model, or was she pulled out of the artist's imaginiation? She looks VERY familiar, and the face I keep seeing is just a little sharper than the one on FE and it's always the same image. A kinda profile shot from the side, with short black hair cut to fall around the level of her chin, curled just slightly forward at the bottom (pretty much like Cover-Vin). Does anybody else know what I'm talking about? I KNOW she looks like somebody famous and it is driving me nuts cause I can't figure out who it is. Usually this stuff comes to me pretty quickly........ BTW, I'm talking about this cover in particular. 2
Peng the Just he/him Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 All I know is it looks exactly like my friend from high school. She is exactly what I imagined Vin to look like. 1
ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Jennifer Lawrence? I can see a little bit of her in there
02ranger he/him Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Jennifer Lawrence? I can see a little bit of her in there Has she ever had that hairstyle that you can remember? The picture I'm remembering is dark black hair and similarly styled to the cover. I don't remember Jennifer Lawrence with that hairstyle but its very possible.
02ranger he/him Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 I finally figured out who I was thinking of. I posted this on Reddit and somebody mentioned Selma Blair. I was seeing her the way she looks in the Hellboy movies in my head. She doesn't look a whole lot like the Vin on the cover, but something about that hairstyle made me think of her. Thanks for the suggestions here, and now I can finally read in peace. lol
Bort he/him Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I always thought she looked like Chloe Grace Moretz from Kick Chull. Edit: Braize the forum autocorrect. Chull is meant to be the other word, for donkey, or rear end. Edited August 13, 2015 by Bort

Chull is meant to be the other word, for donkey, or rear end. I can definitely see that. I've actually given a lot of thought to a Mistborn cast lately. Maybe I oughta share in the cast thread someday...... It's funny, she really doesn't look like Selma Blair at all, but that haircut kept making me think of her for some reason. Anyway, at least that little mystery has been solved.

That girl in Hulk ('cause I just watched Hulk) Edited August 21, 2015 by WayneSpren
