Since Buffy the Vampire Slayer is so fundamentally rooted in the live-action show, I like to think of the characters with, well, human faces. So I went and looked for some faceclaims for the comic-exclusive characters.

Bayarmaa: Dichen Lachman

Renee: Jasika Nicole

Leah: Rose Leslie

Satsu: Aya Ueto

Anaheed: Summer Bishil

Billy Lane: Booboo Stewart

Dylan Turner: Jasmin Marsters

Robert Dowling: Colin Donnell

Both Bay and Dylan are actually based off of Dichen and Jasmin respectively, so that’s something I appreciated.For all else, it was a wild hunt for me. And yes, that is an old picture of Booboo - but consider this, the comics take place circa 2008/2009 and I wanted to faceclaim in a manner that the actors’ age fits the show/comic timeline.

Here’s a ship that kind of came out of nowhere and with zero foundation: Robert Dowling/Dylan Turner.

The foundation being they’re Spike’s only non-Scoobie-friends and I’d like Spuffy to have a normal couple to hang out with. I am in love with the Dowling/Spike bromance, I adore that Dylan’s moved to San Francisco now and that she isn’t a romantic rival but a friend.

I’d love for Spike to introduce the two to each other and for them to hit it off.

La obra de Robert Hawker Dowling aporta una visión muy diferente ya que representa a los aborígenes de la Isla de Tasmania en un ambiente convulso tras la Guerra Negra que tuvo lugar en este mismo siglo. Los muestra junto a herramientas más comunes en Australia Continental que las conocidas para la cultura de los aborígenes de Tasmania.

I would rather fail as an artist than succeed as anything else.
