Description
I don't remember who this is. I was just perusing the Internet one day and found this picture of the most epic-looking Arabic actor ever, and I sketched a quick little cartoon/caricature and the reference picture promptly fell into oblivion.Although honestly, this could be any member of my dad's side of the family, so we'll just leave it at that.
I suppose it could be Nadir, if it tickles your fancy, though I don't picture Nadir quite so pointy.

he looks like the Muslim leader (Saladin) from (Kingdom of Heaven) movie ,
and This actor was in fact an Arab from Syria and his Real name's (Ghassan Massoud)

Whoever this is, he looks like a viable candidate for the primary villain from one of my stories. In fact, this guy fit in right between the two options I have created for said villain:
Codename: HAFIZ

[link] >Option B
Here's a potential storyboard sketch, using Option A:

wonderful man. Looks like a Bible character to me, like the prophet Nathan or something. Your lines are exquisite!

Thanks! The man in the picture I referenced it from was so intense, my eyes exploded. (Okay, not really.)

Hey Muirin007, you're part Middle Eastern? Somehow I always find it awesome to find other Phans of Eastern (or partly eastern) decent. :-D

Sure am! My father's family is from Lebanon. He's a first-generation American. Where do your folks hail from?

Actually, my family (myself included) is originally from a little country called Turkmenistan (itβs right next to Iran, and used to be part of Soviet Union). My mom is Persian, my dad is Armenianβ¦and our mother tongue is Russian...yeah, itβs complicated like that, lol.

That is AWESOME. So you speak Russian and English? So cool! Do you speak any Farsi or Armenian?

Yeah, I speak Russian and English. But no, unfortunately I don't speak Farsi or Armenian (Russian was my parents' first language)

Beautiful. Very epic look on his face, love it!

Well duh, it's Obi-wan Kenobi. (In a turban.)
Actually, you've gotten really good. He's got a lot of character in his face, from the hollow cheeks and bags under his eyes, to his crooked (once broken?) nose and less than happy expression.

Hey, that totally works!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I want to push myself to do stuff like this more in the future, you know, playing around with exaggerated facial features.

The cheeks, the nose... It is strange and amazing how you are able to take (typically) "ugly" features and somehow make them absolutely beautiful!

Well, thank you so much! I think "weird" or "ugly" features add so much character to a face and make it that much more interesting.
