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…
