Here are some suggested portraits on which you might like to base your character. Click on the links to see the pictures. See guidelines for full details of script requirements and how to submit. If none of these inspire you, you might prefer to choose your own (in which case please include artist, title and a link to the image on your submission form).
You can choose to specify that your character is either the same or different to the artist’s original intentions, in terms of age and gender, or not to specify either way. You can request a specific actor (no promises, though!) or leave it to us to determine how to cast the role. Please give your character a name (this might the name of the actual model or subject of the portrait or a different name of your choosing).
