Realistic Starting Character Portraits

O'ETAIPOS is also starting work on creating character portraits for those individuals at the start of our game who we have depictions of by coinage or portrait busts. The key element though is that he is making them look like they belong in RTW, so they do not stand out so much. They are not just cut and pasted into the portrait, but reconstructed to match the RTW style. Here is one of his first examples (any idea who this handsome fellow is? ):

Will the next release of EB have this realistic character portraits or the fan´s most wait for the final version of EB, or mabe EB 2

Is there supposed to be a link or something? I'm slightly confused.

He was quoting the May Preview (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=85110).

You should really put that in quotes, it is confusing as to what is quoted and where you start talking. And, you might as well have posted in the May Preview for context.

The only problem we have is that there is not a fool-proof way to assign portraits each and every time in RTW. Only the Alexander expansion can do that.

So as of now the work O'Etairos has done has not been tossed just in case we figure out a way to use it.

Ask the Fourth Age guys, they seem to always have the same portraits, "Palantir" always has the same as is "Plantirs" avatar.
