The EB Face Database: Faces Required For EBII!

[Maniro]

This is internet forum. As long as member
sticks to the point and does not pick up fights, all
kinds of opinions are undoubtably welcomed.

If I "lobby" for something, it does not mean
I am on some kind of white horse and know
everything best, I come with no such ambition.

It is just obvious that legion made up of modern wimps would resemble at best
some Historic Channel piece featuring plenty of student supernumeraries.
Men back than were "hardened" not only by various physiological defects, but
also by "mental defects", as most of them were something of a brutalized melee serial killers.

So if some disapprove classic art as "bizarre" and "fictional", perhaps even those might
agree that faces from categories of criminal convicts would be more suitable than faces
of students and soccer players.

I recall even some EB trait says something of "If you kill one person you are criminal,
if you kill million you are great hero". Perhaps pictures featuring various modern
veterans with post traumatic stress disorder would be good approach too.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Furthermore I am indeed ready to acknowledge that ancient people
DID exist. Therefore large degree of their appearance based
on various sources could be described or reconstructed.

If your absurd relativist view ran out of steam just don´t answer.
I don´t need you to hint I don´t know difference of advisors to
battle-map units. I also don´t need you to give me such "priceless" advice as
"to do something myself", this is thread about the kind of faces which should
be used, for which I don´t need to be EB team member, 2D/3D artist
to discuss it or offer advices.

Describing the people who posted their faces in this thread as wimps seems like picking a fight to me.

Drop this particular discussion, please. This applies to everyone.

This is not a thread about the kinds of faces to be used in EBII, it is merely a collection point for images, the faces that get used are chosen by the teams historians during the unit making process.

Sorry Ludens I just felt I had to clear up this last point, consider it dropped now.

I really think this discussion should stop, fisrt of all because the EB team has already made their decission to use the faces we post (thats why this thread was started all these months ago) and secondly because it is tiring to read.
Instead of that, post more faces.
Maniro, if you want hardened criminal faces, post some more of them, and let the moddelers make their choises....

It would be fun if somebody could post some Cretan faces!
Imajine cretan archers like him!

What would a latin american with caucasian skin be classified as? Northern or Southern european?

Any units need a Scottish/Northern British face, if so happy to oblige!

Before anyone points out I am aware the Scots did not exist at this point so I substitute Caledonian if it makes people happy (Vartan, i'm thinking of you ).

well, not a perfect picture, but pretty interesting: a man from Tihama, complete with flowers on his head:

Tihama is the coastal region along the western margin of Arabia-this custom is mostly associated with the section south of Jidda, north of Bab al-mandib.

EDIT: old man from region of Abha:
