Literature's Most Wanted

[parzival]

A new blog is taking descriptions of literary characters from the book and creating composite sketches using modern software : http://thecomposites.tumblr.com/

For fun, try and see if you can pick any out of this lineup.

If you want to try and match them up, here's a list up to Feb 11th:

Men only, since the two women would be obvious with the name given. Edward Rochester[Jane Eyre] Gary[Zone One] Humbert Humbert[Lolita] Judge Holden[Blood Meridian] Keith Talent[London Fields] Pinkie Brown[Brighton Rock] Sam Spade"[The Maltese Falcon], The Misfit[A Good Man is Hard to Find] Tom Ripley[The Talented Mr. Ripley] Vaughn[Crash]

Gaaaaaah.

The Misfit

is even creepier than I'd pictured him in my head. Now I've been freshly retraumatized by that story.

Excellent.

[Elendil's Heir]

I dunno. Nice concept, but they're all remarkably awkward and ugly IMHO.

[OneCentStamp]

They all look as though they've had their essence drained by the Skeksis.

I think they do work better for the creepy/unsettling characters.

Speaking of which, something bothered me until I realized that except for the eyes, H.H. looks like

this guy.
