In regard to a recent question: How do you make people from different ethnic backgrounds look different?

Thank you Silvia Lopez for the insightful comment
and yes...the image on the right, draws on ancient religious roots
CHANGING NATURAL FEATURES AND APPEARANCE
At near completion, I abandoned the portrait (left frame) of an African American as she began to look strikingly... like Kim K
Changes included that to the subject's complexion, elongating a wide flat nose and a complete reconstruction to the eyes, mouth and general expression
What started out as a tight lipped... large round face, was rapidly becoming cliche. The image (although incomplete), was then uploaded to Photoshop for an aesthetic re-make
Now thinking...15th Century Russia / Eastern Europe Religious portraits with Iconic sensibilities and Stoic expressions
