The first here is, of course, Michael Allens. As Michael is based upon me, he is a rough approximation of what I looked like about 20 or so years ago. The ashen skin tone of the portrait is an effect of being a vampire in Sims 3: Late Night and while all three of these portraits will show that same effect, not all the portraits I've created will do so.
The second is Deborah Means. Deborah is a tricky one, because she too is based upon a real life person (interestingly, the only real life person of these with whom I have no contact today). But she is also meant to be a bi-racial character, half-Irish half-Chinese. I'm not entirely convinced this second aspect comes out fully in this image, but it is a good approximation of the character I see in my mind.
The third is Rebecca. One of the struggles with Rebecca is to make her distinct in appearance from Deborah. The written descriptions of them both being young, petite, pretty, and red-headed make it very easy to confuse the two visually, even if the real life people on whom they are based look nothing alike. (Actually, the real life Rebecca is a brunette, who only occasionally is a "bottle red.") Still, I think I've effectively created a distinct appearance for her here.
