Sundiata Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 @Lion.Kanzen So you still need references? Spoiler HQ version of Taharqa Two extremes of Ancient Kushite phenotype, North Sudanes (Nubian), South and West Sudanese (Nuba, Dinka, Nuer). Harsiotef and Nastasen were probably more of the "Northern" Look. Arakamani and Amanirenas more towards the Southern look. Southern (some stern looking fellows): South Sudanese model Anok Yai as Amanirenas? or Nykhor Paul Northern: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundiata Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just now, stanislas69 said: What did they do to their skin ? Hot iron markings ? lol, I actually keep forgetting to mention it more in depth, but "scarification" was practiced by Kushites. Tribal markings, giving specific information about identity, or having spiritual/cultural significance.. The skin is literally cut open in a particular way, which heals in a particular way, and can be used to make markings or patterns in some cases. Extreme tattooing... Wasn't universal among Kushites, but was practiced extensively by some sub-groups, and can range from a simple, single cut, to full face and body patterns. It's a dying practice... --WARNING-- not for the fainthearted -- WARNING -- Spoiler Kushite King, Meroitic period: Egyptian relief of Kushite captives Nigerian example In Ghana we keep it simple (mostly).

I have a very simple template Photoshop file. I take a large screenshot in Atlas with the ground texture set to purple or green, cut out the unit in Photoshop, then apply magic from the template file. unit_portrait.psd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
