Brian Joseph Davis macht mit Polizeisoftware Fahndungsbilder berühmter literarischer Figuren und postet diese dann auf seinen Tumblr The Composites. Ausgangsbasis ist natürlich die Beschreibung die er im Buch findet. So wie hier die zu Humbert aus Vladimir Nabokovs 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…But instead I am lanky, big-boned, wooly-chested Humbert Humbert, with thick black eyebrows… A cesspoolful of rotting monsters behind his slow boyish smile… aging ape eyes… Humbert’s face might twitch with neuralgia.”
