not!meme
Because icons aren't always the most accurate, tonight's not!meme asks you to describe your character's physical appearance. Height, weight, eye and hair color, build, distinguishing marks, etc. And if they've had any physical changes since arriving in the City (i.e., new robo-arm, sporting a rad eyepatch, suddenly becoming a human) you can share that as well!
1/2
Norman ➨ 5'11", slender but muscular build. He looks like he does in icons for the most part, though since artists can be inconsistent with that, this, this, this, this, this and etc. are closest to the mark. (Think basically: JRJR, JRSR, Ben Oliver, and Chris Samnee's is very good.) I quite like artists like Luke Ross -- but he draws Norman a little too beefy (though JRJR does that too) and Emma Rios -- but she draws him a bit too skinny, etc., but again most of his icons are pretty right on except for Mike Deodato Jr., because Norman doesn't look like Tommy Lee Jones. Most of the muscle is in his legs and arms. He's classically handsome in that way some older guys are; he has thick, angular eyebrows that shadow over his eyes, few wrinkles (mostly on the forehead, around the eyes/lips, etc.), a strong square jaw and a Romanesque nose. He's got a strong jaw but very high, defined cheekbones, dark blue eyes that look green in certain lights, longish lashes and a fairly average mouth that can get surprisingly wide when he grins. Although he tends toward neutral/smug expressions a lot his eyes are very expressive, as are the corners of his mouth. His ears are slightly pointy. He has auburn hair that's styled like this essentially (it's styled in an old-fashioned "wavy" style that curls it back from his face and catches the light. HAIRGEL. Sharp widow's peak action there with a slightly receding hairline, but it's all real and he doesn't dye it), big hands, strong arms/shoulders and slender but muscular legs and his fingers are long and manicured. He has a scar on his chest from being impaled but most artists forget to draw it! He's almost sixty but he looks more like 45-50 due to his healing factor and just being in good shape.
He usually wears suits. Dark greens, blacks, browns, occasionally dark purples... green ties, pink shirts, etc, THINGS THAT FIT HIS COLORSCHEME and occasionally things that are more normal. In private if he's working a lot sometimes he takes to wife beaters and jeans or sweatpants, but that's usually when he is overworked and on private work, not business work. He has good posture and is incredibly flexible and agile. He gesticulates a lot -- talks with his hands, and usually is doing something with his hands most of the time out of habit.
Felicia ➨ She looks like her animated icons, but I use comic icons that are similar in style/appearance since she doesn't have a full range of expressions in her SSM appearances. SSM Felicia has large green eyes and platinum blonde hair that reaches her lower back. She's 5'6" and of petite-but-curvy-build. She's got a youthful look to her and ambiguous enough features that she can generally pass herself off as being anywhere from 18 to 26 (she's 23), but there's a maturity to her features too. Her costume looks the way it does in the picture I linked! So not a lot of cleavage. She doesn't wear a lot of makeup aside from lipstick and mascara. She's very slim and languid, with long legs and small hands and feet, and most of her curve is in her hips. Her arms, legs, and stomach in particular are pretty toned, but overall she's very lean. She's, er, gorgeous, canons always focus on how breathtaking she's supposed to be... she's got naturally thick lashes and a slightly upturned nose, with a small but expressive mouth and round lips.
She doesn't take up much space, her body language and how she carries herself is quiet, smooth, and very compact. Oftentimes her presence is hard to miss unless she's trying to be noticed. She wears dark colors when not in costume, blacks and blues and whites mostly.
The Sentry ➨ Well, Bob himself is kind of dumpy. He's 6 feet even and on the lean/skinny side, but he catches fat on his stomach and waistline and was a bit overweight when he first was introduced, mostly because of his alcoholism and his love of junk food. His hair is usually short as Bob and he's stubbly, but he's still generally good-looking in spite of the whole not taking care of himself thing. He has big, blue eyes with long lashes, a strong and kind of down curved nose and well-defined lips. He's square-jawed with strong cheeks and his face is generally incredibly expressive in the eyes and mouth. He has an imposing presence, and generally looks stern or unhappy. Often, his eyes or his body glows. His hair is silky and soft and always looks clean (at least, as the Sentry) and is basically gorgeous. As the Sentry it reaches his shoulders, and as the Sentry he's 6'4".
Although he's often drawn as... intensely muscled, his body is more like this, big-chested and broad-shouldered with long, fit legs. Overall he's very well proportioned and just generally looks a bit God-like. His cape is long and dark blue, though it often appears black, and it can give off the appearance of a shadow following him when he flies. He tends to stand up straight, but can easily fall into slouching if he's depressed. Mike Deodato Jr. draws a pretty good Bob, as do JRJR and Frank Cho and a lot of artists! He pretty much looks like he does in my icons except for the Short Hair Bob icons, because his hair is long.
Harvey ➨ is 6 feet, with a strong, fit build. Although he was a lawyer before he kept himself in shape and worked out, due to vanity, but since then he is incredibly active and thus has more or less maintained this body type, muscular though lean, and imposing. He's got pouty lips, sleek, arched eyebrows, and a long straight nose. His chin is strong and his eyes are blue, and the Harvey side's default "look" tends toward calm, unhappy, or smug, although it can snap through expressions at the drop of a hat. He has thick, soft, wavy dark brown hair that looks black in most lights, slicked back from his forehead with a curl that falls in his face, not unlike Superman. Since his accident, the hair on the left side of his head has been white and brittle, but he coifs it as best as it will cooperate and doesn't usually let it just explode into unruliness. Artists are majorly inconsistent with this! His arms are probably the most muscular part of his body, and his hands are large; due to the fact his coin is so ingrained to his crimes, his hands are likely a big source of the imposing aura he gives off, and it's rare that at least one isn't visible.
His scarring covers the left side of his face and his left ear, down the left side of neck with mild spattering on his shoulder. It also covers his left hand, slightly past the wrist. The skin looks raw and red, sometimes purple or brown, depending on how healed the specific part of skin is, but touching it it feels leathery -- he doesn't have much feeling left in the scarred skin. His left eye appears larger than the right due to his eyelid being eaten by acid, and it's foggy and discolored; he's mostly blind in it, just as he's about half-blind in his left ear. The nails on his left hand are ragged and yellow, while on his left they're usually clean and trimmed even if Harvey doesn't maintain his looks much anymore. He slouches, and obviously tends toward wearing two-colored suits and other clothing, but he also likes trenchcoats. One of my favorite Two-Face's is Javier Pulido's and my interpretation tends to lean toward that (Saiz, Sale, and Lark are also favorites and given how inconsistently he's always drawn, priorities need to be made!), save for his scarred skin being red and not blue. IN THE CITY his scarring is now a little worse, and the hair on his bad side is more patchy and he has a few bald spots on that side.
2/2
His costume currently looks like this and he's usually wearing it. When not, he's usually in knee-length shorts, jeans, t-shirts or button downs, with rubber accessories like a coat, boots, or gloves. His body language doesn't reflect his age very well and he tends to strut or jut his hips out, again in very confident movements.
Andy ➨ mostly looks like his icons! Since he's season 8, specifically, he looks like this, which is worth mentioning because his hairstyle has changed a lot in 5 years and I use icons from all the seasons. He's 6' with a mostly average build; he's not in bad shape or unfit, but doesn't really work out as often as he would like (and he definitely gets self-conscious about his weight), and thus he is a little on the rounder side of slender, which tends to show mostly in his stomach/hips and his neck/jaw area -- but he's in decent shape now, with a defined (though still round) jaw and a sleeker silhouette. He's not very muscular. He's a privileged 37-year-old white boy from Connecticut money, that should describe it some.
I'll spare the appearance tl;dr in length since I don't feel like describing in detail... that first photograph... but, his clothing taste is very colorful and bizarre most of the time, but since becoming manager it leans towards a bit more "tasteful." His face and body language are very expressive; he's very reactive and his expression usually reflects his feelings, unless he's upset and in public in which case he'll usually force smiles, because he is a very optimistic and smiley guy. He tends towards restlessness in terms of doing stuff with his hands, arms, legs, etc. and has the habit of pushing his jaw down toward his neck. He's very well-groomed and takes care of his nails, skin, hair, etc on a regular basis. He has this tattoo on his ass.
Ra's al Ghul ➨ is 6'4", and looks it if not taller. He's very intimidating, but that is also in part because of how he carries himself; Ra's has incredibly good posture and is always standing straight and powerfully, and all his body language reflects a person who is confident in every movement. He's got a very muscular build and carries most of that in his upper body (chest, shoulders, arms); his legs are long and agile. He's big but again not like, Superman beefy; it's the kind of muscle that comes from martial arts, sword-fighting, and other fierce fighting styles -- he's very lithe. He has very strong cheekbones, a sharp chin, a strong nose, and a prominent forehead. Also, strong long-fingered hands. He's pretty handsome for his age! Which is 700, but he tends to look more 50s-70s, depending on how recently he has been in a Lazarus Pit.
His hair is black, white at the temples and nape, and it feathers out from his head and comes down in a sharp widow's peak. He has thick sideburns that come down from his hair and meet with his beard, which is a peculiar beard fangy goatee. His brows shadow his eyes and the eyebrows themselves are long, thick and arched -- very expressive. His eyes are green and his skin is a sort of medium darkness (he's Arabic, with Chinese descent). He wears capes (see linked images) over a variety of different sorts of outfits, sometimes dapper suits and sometimes (often) open-chested, flowy clothes or strange bodysuits. Jewelry is a sometimes thing, usually bracelets or amulets around his neck.
King Faraday ➨ is 6' tall, with white hair with a reverse-skunk-like black stripe through it. He has a powerful upper body and long fingers, good for holding cigarettes and also piloting planes. He's in his 40s and is in pretty good physical shape. His jaw is strong, his cheekbones high, and his nose is a little bit crooked, and his eyes are heavily lidded underneath (shadowy) and very strikingly blue. His eyebrows are thick, sharp, and arched, but basically he looks like he does in that linked picture. HE WEARS SUITS this paragraph is short!
