In this second post I talk about the science behind the human face, our recognition of it, what I learned studying it, and how I ultimately plan to trick you, YES YOU!, into thinking all our portraits are hand drawn!

Given that the whole gameworld and all it's characters are generated procedurally at the moment of player birth, I can't have a specific portrait for every possible NPC.

Join me as I explore how to solve this problem.  Success or failure, the journey will be educational!
