I believe Jesus looked perfect, i don't know how but no matter how a painting is beautiful (like yours), it will never be close

@inaccessible A LOT of people, at my church and elsewhere, get very worked up about the physical appearance of Jesus the Christ. I have had people tell me, "I KNOW what Jesus looks like, and he doesn't look like that." SMH. You can't even tell them that Jesus had very tan skin, racially. They only believe in white Jesus with blue eyes and light brown hair, because those are the paintings they have always seen, painted by white people with blue eyes and light brown hair.
Anyway, this was my attempt to combine the reconstruction of the face of a deceased man, who was alive at the same time that Jesus lived, with my own inner concept of him, which tells me that His eyes must have been beautiful and compelling, because he commanded the love and respect of so many people who actually knew Him.
Jesus actually looked so much like his apostles that the soldiers who came to arrest Him at the garden of Gethsemane had to be told which one of them He was. That is in the Bible. At the time that Jesus lived, the men of his country all looked very similar to one another.
I do NOT wish to argue with you...only to tell you that no one actually KNOWS.
