What Do The Characters Look Like? (Trawler Trash and Following Breeze)

Do you read books and form a mental image of the characters? How does an author create that image. Personally, I form characters based on real people. I know what someone looks like in real life, so it makes it easier to describe them in words. Some of the pictures here are actual friends of mine, used fictitiously in my novels.

Some of the pics are not the real McCoy, but very close in appearance.

Now here’s the real question…. What about Breeze? What/Who does he look like? Who should play him in the movie?
