Guess who (NPC Illustrations)

[RangerWickett]

For a few of NPCs in WotBS, I suggested that the illustrator base their appearance on real-world people. Some have noted, for instance, that Giorgio the wayfarer looks like Steve Tyler.

I thought it'd be a fun little game for people playing the campaign to guess who these NPCs are supposed to look like.

• Kazyk
• Simeon
• Duke Gallo
• Pilus

Coaltongue was supposed to look like Ronald Reagan, but I guess it didn't translate that well into a half-orc's face.

And if you think any other NPC bears a striking resemblance to someone famous (or someone you know), let me know.

First time poster here, but I'll take a stab at this.

Could Simeon be based on 'Dubya' or perhaps Bush 41? If you replace the smile he has on pg. 38 of Shelter from the Storm with a bewildered look, Simeon could pass for the Commander in Chief.

The others, I've no clue. Except Shalosha on pg. 42 of SftS has a definite Angelina Jolie-esque look to her.

You are correct, sir. Simeon is based on our freedom-loving president. Though Shalosha has a different illo in adventure 6, in which she looks a bit like Cameron Diaz. That's all the artist's doing, though.
