>>6018865The face on the right was was said in an interview to be based off of common attractive traits so they likely referenced a bunch of different actors/idols. The one on the left was straight up ripped from the director's wife or something, so one person. The process you're describing seems normal, unless you can find one ideal real person and this person doesn't mind having their face on a game model, or you're capable of modeling semirealistic characters out of thin air, you'd need to assemble it out of the good parts from various refs or at least mix them up so you're not basically stealing a specific person's face?
Now I really wonder who Marie Rose was based off of. She has one of the most perfect faces for a 3d character
