Mind you, Wikipedia shots tend to bring out the absolute worst in people's appearances. (It's weird, it's not just because they tend to be candid shots (because the set up shots aren't under CC-BY-SA or any less restrictive license), because Wikipedia shots tend to be WORSE than most candid shots.)

Soulsynger:
Chose to go with the most true-to-life appearance of her I could find on the nets. Lucky coincidence for me it was also on her wiki page.
I don't go to the staged professional shoots for references about what people look like. :-D

There are a few other pictures of her floating around which would've also proven my point. (Which btw. was not that she wasn't cute at all. Just that in my eyes Jeph seems to have depicted here somewhat cuter or even younger than her real life self.)

bhtooefr:
Honestly, I think it mainly needed for her to look closer to her age, then it would've looked fine (what he drew looks like a 20-something, when... *hits up Google* damn, she does look good for ~44).

But, my point was that Wikipedia shots have a talent for making even good looking people look horrible, when they don't look that bad in real life or in other candid shots.

Very unlikely, I think.  It's one thing for Jeph to include a real person as a cameo, but getting her involved in a story arc would surely be a step too far.

Anyway, Marten is dazzled by her fame, and his brain is currently rebooting.

Well, as long as he doesn't start humping her leg and shouting that he loves her he'll be ok.

Agreed, that they actually do. But in this case it wasn't THAT bad. It just looked most authentic to me.
(And... wow, ~44? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.)


@Aethien:
You avatar is mesmerising.
