This is a reconstruction of the face of Alexander by Arienne King https://www.worldhistory.org/image/1333 ... struction/. It is a little spooky for some reason. I don't think the lips are quite right as portraits usually show Alexander's lips as parted and the lower lip quite full.

Ha yes, the mouth seems to small for the face. And there's something odd going on with the ear texture. Nevertheless, it's pretty impressive that neural nets can create a whole human face from descriptions and ancient portraits, whether or not it "actually" looks like him.
