assasianato Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think I'm going to make better spouse npcs, or give it my best effort. :) If any of you have any requests post a picture of a person/celeb and I'll try to match them in my npcs and make them lore friendly. I already started my better looking companions mod so if you haven't checked that out yet feel free to have a look. I started with Farkas and Vilkas.

AjaxSt Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 My requests aren't exactly prettier than vanilla, but they are spouse and companion faces I would like to see...feel free to pick, choose, and ignore any of them. English Knight Robert Morley - 1300'sRobert Morley and Peasant Woman - 1300'sViking WomanCleopatra - It's CleopatraMyrtis (11 year old Athenian girl) - 430 BCMyrtis againAnother MyrtisSpitalfields Woman - 300-400 ADLeasowe Man - RomanPeter the Great of Aragon - 1285 Again, feel free to pick and choose, these are all facial reconstructions of real people from the middle and ancient eras. Personally, so long as Robert Morley, Myrtis, and the Leasowe Man get made into faces for people, I don't really care. And Cleopatra, I think, would get a lot of dowloaders, especially since that's what she actually looked like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjaxSt Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Actually, no. I'm not. I find using real historical, factual people to be more fascinating and interesting than overairbrushed, plastic surgery-ridden models celebs plastered over tabloids.

Pentigan Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 But most likely would be Nordic faces, any reconstructions from that era and vauge location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjaxSt Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The top two were in a Scottish castle, who can trace their ancestry back to the same Celts that gave rise to the Danish and other Nordic Vikings, so they would work. The third one is an actual viking woman (Not a very attractive one, true). And the Spitalfields Woman was also found near Scotland, so she would count. Though she can trace her ancestry back more to Italy, so... There's a full-body reconstruction of Duke William of Normandy (William the Conqueror) out there somewhere, and he can trace his lineage back to Viking raids in France. Not sure about many other Norse reconstructions, I'd have to do some research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakescale Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 @AjaxSt Ok. So basically you're literally taking the ugliest out of the medieval pot ... Imo people of the past look just like us (no make up ... a little sleezy, yeah) but not downright ugly :mellow:-.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjaxSt Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Actually, no. I'm not taking the ugliest out of the medieval pot. There are plenty uglier racial reconstructions out there (Look for Copernicus and Simon of Sudbury for two prime examples. And not all of the refs I gave are truly that ugly. Robert Morley, Cleopatra, the Leasowe Man, and Peter the Great of Aragon are all not that bad, even by today's standards. Peter the Great even kinda looks like Aragorn as played by Bill Pullman. That said, there really are only a few facial reconstructions that you can find images of online. I'll see if I can find some more, but those were the first few I found. And actually, it's only in the last couple hundred years or so that humans have been overly concerned with beauty as a whole, in the middle ages, beauty was held to a completely different standard (fat was good), and only for the rich. Here's a few more: Jarl Birger Magnusson - 1266Klaus Stoertebeker - German Pirate in 1402The Bocksten Man - 14th-century farmerThe Haplo Group - Bronze Age familyKing TutAnother Peter the Great of Aragon - This one with a profile view.Saint Nick - The real Santa Claus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assasianato Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) I'll look those over and try to recreate a couple you request @ajax. I'm also going to try and recreate faces based off medieval television series and movies both male and female. You guys can keep giving me ideas and linking me if you'd like.
