The EB Face Database: Faces Required For EBII!

[bobbin]

HQ Faces. Slightly on the old side but could make good generals.

Very good face pictures, spot on what is needed. Shame about the subjects though, I put them up anyway as I'm sure they could be altered to make them look less recognisable (i know i wouldn't want to have Hitler or Ceausescu as my faction leaders face).

I can only support that. And I have to say I was really upset, when I clicked on the "Austrian" face and I saw Hitler...sorry but I thought this forum is not so simple minded or is the only face that is associated with Austria Hitler? And I wonder what Hitler and other war criminals are doing in this thread (and the celebs). Ok the face models are just hilarious but thats not the topic.

Sry if this sounds offensive, but I didn't expect that when I was curiously reading this thread.

Sorry for causing offense, it's the only one thats been submitted so far from that country and i was trying to keep things subjective as it was a very clear picture of a face. I'll take it down if you want (along with the other ones, can't be biased in that respect). I personally added some more austrians to the list as way of a little sorry.

As for the famous people pics its going to be hard to make a big list if we exclude the most photographed people from the database, I imagine once they have gone through the skinning process they won't be recognisable (this was the thinking with the war criminal ones too).

[Gustave]

Of course, we will not include war criminals faces on EB2...I think this is just not the kind of thing that make us laugh.

What about Shwarzi? He is gov'nor now. Could be used as commander.

Removed pics.

Add lots more.

The nice pic with the ethiopian is now broken.

That map is from 1899.

As I said in a fairly recent post, the genetic contribution (which is what determines many things about you including skin colour and facial structure) from Turkic peoples drops off around Uzbekistan. Ethnicity as we understand it is a cultural construct that in many cases has no basis in genetics, there are Arabs all across the middle east and africa but they're not all the decendants of the tribes of Arabia.


Can we please drop this subject now, this thread is for posting pictures up and that is all. If you want to argue about the apperance of various ancient poeples please by all means start a new thread but don't post in this one.

I was being ironic in order to satirise what other people in the thread were saying e.g. That photos of people in the Thessalonica region were not able to be used as Greeks in EB II due to their slightly larger than average noses. I had pointed out earler in the thread that I didn't want to see stereotypes of "Greek" or "Arab" faces, and I resorted to the satire of scientific racism which was prevalent during the early 20th Century, when "scientists" attempted to class people's origins by physical features and skin colour, in order to expose how preposterous it was that people disputing that certain images be used on the basis of the shape of their nose. I was planning to post a follow up to that, explaining that I was being ironic, but it appears that I was too subtle for people to pick up on the fact that I was being satrical (I guess this means that Poe's Law applies to discrimation as well.). If you didn't get it, or found it in bad taste, then I'm sorry, but under no circumstances did I agree or wish to promote what was in my post; it was satire.

Ehm, the last Illiryan nation in balkan are the Albanese... Try them for making the moddels....

[Azorikus]

Im new to forum but been following EB for some time now, completely addicted to it, and cant wait for EB II, do you still want pics from portuguese( Lusotanian/Celtiberian) ? Im willing to add my pic, my traits are more of celtic than portuguese steryotype (latin tanned mustache guys ) But anyway I think thats because of Arabic Influence after the invasion of the Peninsula.

[Azorikus]

Here is the pic, sorry im a newbie in this matter of links and stuff, You can use it for any faction but would prefer as I said above any celtic/germanic faction. Most of what I saw of portugue submited photos many are arabic influenced (mainland portugal has stronger northern african genes) In the Azorean islands not so much which is where im from.

What are we in desperate need for?

Dito. No Celebs!

I agree, I'd really rather not have Stalin, Ceauşescu and Putin duking it out with Hitler, Mussolini and Brad Pitt.

[Tux]

Woah Ceauşescu is quite renowned from what I see. But don't worry we won't make terminators, aragons and so on. We try to give them an ancient look like for example Aragon:


Low res I know...

[Subotan]

That's the guy who played Aragon? Awesome.

[Ludens]

I've removed the war-criminal/dictator images post as well as several replies. Please refrain from such jokes in the future.
