Really stupid question.

[mijan]

Not sure why I'm fixated on figuring this out, but please, give me your opinions.  I've been studying the characters'/actors' faces so that I can do some more fan art, and I've got a thing for Karl Urban's eyebrows anyway, but this is just something my brain needs to know.

Does Karl Urban have a scar through his left eyebrow, or is a bizarre trick of the light combined with the way Teh Eyebrows (TM) have their unique arrangement of follicles?  It shows up in some pictures, but not in others, but in enough pictures (and visible during various interview video clips) that it keeps standing out.




For a massive close-up picture, I found this:

What do you think?
(And yes, I already know that I'm fixated.  No need to remind me.)

I think it's a scar. I have one sort of like that just below my left eyebrow and hair refuses to grow there, it is annoying.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

That's my bet, too, but I for some reason, I wanted to know what other people think.

[nicolerae4.livejournal.com]

Whoa. When I saw him in The Two Towers, I thought it was some kind of growth on the skin. A scar makes more sense though, lol.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

A growth? Huh, well, he's got a small mole above his other eyebrow, but that's about it.

I also happen to think scars are extremely sexy, so perhaps that's why I'm curious about this one.

[kei-rin.livejournal.com]

At first I thought it was just the way Teh Eyebrow was and how the hair grew but when I look at the close up it seems more old scar like.

Gah that man is pretty. (Yes I knew this before, just have state it again because it needs to be said. :D )

[mijan.livejournal.com]

See, it shows up in SOME pictures, but not others. I wonder if it's a trick of the light that makes it look like a scar sometimes, or if it's a scar that gets covered sometimes with Hollywood magic.

And holy shit, yes, he's pretty. And I think scars are sexy... dear god, I'm pathetic.

Oddly enough, the linked photo looks a bit like my partner Troy. I hadn't really thought about how much they look alike before.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Oh dear gods above... lucky you!

Does Troy have a sexy eyebrow scar?

[hopehavoc.livejournal.com]

That's definitely a scar. And, out of curiosity, he's the douche bag from The Chronicles of Riddick, right? The one who played Munger in Ghost Ship.

I'm pretty sure that's him. It's odd to see him playing a NOT-douche bag for a change. He usually plays a dirty, grody, grungy...douche bag. I'm enjoying that word a bit too much at the moment, actually. So yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a scar.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

LOL... yes, same guy. And actually, DeForest Kelley, who played the original Leonard McCoy in Star Trek, played mostly bad guys before he got the role. Karl Urban has played a mix, though, including the part of Eomer in Lord of the Rings.

And yay for sexy scars! :D

[seneska.livejournal.com]

I'd say scar. I'm going to be looking for that every time I see him now dammit!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Muahaha... you've got a sexy scar fixation now, too!

[mtranc3.livejournal.com]

There's definitely a small scar there *nods*

[mijan.livejournal.com]

*grins*

Now, I wonder how he got it...

[auroraceleste.livejournal.com]

Scar. I bet they photoshop it out of some photographs, they tend to do the ridiculous like that, so that's why it changes.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

That's what I'd been figuring. I love sexy scars. Now, I wonder how he got it. Just makes him more drool-worthy.

(Also, I've got one in the exact same spot.)

[diermuid.livejournal.com]

That's a standard "hey guys, watch this!" scar... very old though, likely from early youth.

It will dissapear from time to time depending on who is airbrushing the pics and how much they're doing.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Well, it could be a "hey guys, watch this!" scar, or it could be something more innocent. I've got an almost-identical scar in the exact same spot on my left eyebrow, and I got it when I was a year old... jumping on the bed... and I made first contact with the corner of the night table.

And I hate it when Hollywood airbrushes things out. I love little scars. They add character. Chris Pine has a small scar below the left corner of his mouth, just less than an inch down. I like it, and I don't want them to airbrush it out. I think it gives him character. :D

[vixys.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR EYEBROW SCARS. *pets her own* :D

Also, yes, that is a scar. :D If you needed any more reassurance. So, does this mean we get more art soon? ♥

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Yes, you get more art soon, if all goes well.

I'm still working furiously on fic, and need to get through that first, but I had an art idea and needed to play with reference pics, and started wondering about the eyebrow scar because I've noticed it on him before... because I have an almost identical one in the EXACT same spot on my left eyebrow. *grins like an idiot* Not sure why I find that amusing. Where's your eyebrow scar? I think eyebrow scars are hot.

[cedarrapidsgirl.livejournal.com]

asdfjk;! GAH! Of course, your pics of Karl, especially the 2nd one,which I can see oh so close up, is the first thing I see when I drag my groggy arse out of bed this rainy morning? WIN! And I've been up for almost 2 hours, but had to get caffeine to get halfway coherent for a comment, and that's STILL doubtful. So yeah. Karl in the morning for the win. I also believe he has a scar in that eyebrow, i can see it even the first one, now that you mention it, and don't EVEN talk about the 2nd one..GAH AGAIN! I is dead from the hotness. *thud* Sorry, I'm rambling. and crazy. MEH. McCoy happy (okay, maybe not happy but not usual McCoy scowl)icon for you.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

I like your Bones icon. He just looks... nice. :)

And yeah, Karl in the morning is a good thing. His wife is one lucky lady, that's for sure.

I'm extremely fond of his eyebrows, and I also have a thing for scars. I also happen to have an eyebrow scar in the exact same spot, so it kinda makes me giggle. *grins*
I have a picture where you can see it... I could only find one close-up where you can see it, and I'm wearing a ridiculous pirate hat at a Ren Faire:

I'm such a dork.

[abigail89.livejournal.com]

OH, hi! I wandered in here to check out a Karl image that was linked in a comment to inell.

The scar is actually where he had a mole removed. He had 2 moles right above his right eyebrow, but one is no longer there. That's my take on it. And I've been looking at a LOT of Karl images of late. Lots.

And to make me a scary stalker type, he IS married and has 2 boys. I do research for a living, so I know how to find shit...

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Hmm... but this is his left eyebrow. In that super-large close-up picture I linked, I can see the two moles above his right eye, so that's not it.

Huh. Hmmm.

And I ponder... where did this get linked to inell? That's random. :)

[daddybear716.livejournal.com]

You do realize this is rather obsessive... even for you? Yes, I know you are aware of that.

Anywho, I would say eyebrow scar. I did a quick look at the fanpop pics and the pics where it does not appear look like pretty bad retouches. Airbrushing hair to look good is not easy. Smadges are a dead giveaway. So there you go.

[daddybear716.livejournal.com]

Doh! that should be smudges!

Really stupid question.

[tsuj.livejournal.com]

There are no "Really Stupid Questions."

Only "Really Stoopid answers." :D

And that would be a 'yes,' from someone with the authority (my own left eyebrow scar) to confirm this!

Hey, I just found a purple Infinitus water bottle in my car. Yours?

Re: Really stupid question.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Hehe... well, it was a silly and frivolous question, if nothing else. Because I've got my own lovely left eyebrow scar, in the exact same spot as I thought Karl had one, but it was there in some pictures but not in others. So I had to know.

And yes, my bottle. I was wondering what happened to that!

Er... would you be able to get that to my mother before she comes out to see me at the end of September?

[january-snow.livejournal.com]

i can't contribute anything useful, but GUH!

didn't know that pic yet. and what's wrong with a little Karl fixation?
