Face Of The Day

Humbert

Brian Joseph Davis used law enforcement software to create composite sketches of famous literary characters based on the authors' descriptions. The above visage is Humbert Humbert, from Nabokov's Lolita:

Gloomy good looks…Clean-cut jaw, muscular hand, deep sonorous voice…broad shoulder…I was, and still am, despite mes malheurs, an exceptionally handsome male; slow-moving, tall, with soft dark hair and a gloomy but all the more seductive cast of demeanor. Exceptional virility often reflects in the subject’s displayable features a sullen and congested something that pertains to what he has to conceal. And this was my case… A cesspoolful of rotting monsters behind his slow boyish smile…aging ape eyes…
