Description
Welcome to Manic's Indian Portraits - This mod alters the faces of cultures that use the (North) Indian and South Indian faces, beautifying them a bit. I don't know about you, but I'd actually consider playing in India now!

The faces themselves were rather tricky to design. There are very few non-European/Near Eastern assets to work with so I had to get pretty creative. What you see is a carefully-crafted abomination amalgamation of recoloured textures from the Frankish, Roman/Italian, Muslim and West Slavic faces which (I think) work pretty well together.

Hairstyles, clothing and beards have been untouched. Some hairstyles and beards are slightly misaligned with the new faces but I will update them as soon as I've had the chance to fiddle around with them.

Of course, this mod adds new child portraits for both of the affected graphical cultures. Aside from the (North) Indian boy, who uses a new and recoloured outfit, all other children still use their vanilla clothes. These designs have been modified slightly and sharpened so as to not look out of place alongside the newer portraits.

Compatibility
This mod has a very simple file structure and doesn't edit any core game files. As such, it should be compatible with virtually any other mod that doesn't also alter Indian or South Indian portraits.

This mod should be fully Ironman and savegame compatible.

Alternate downloads
For those who experience issues with the Steam Workshop and want some alternate download options, a .zip version of this mod can be downloaded HERE[www.dropbox.com].

To install, simply remove the two items from the .zip folder and place them in your CK2 mod folder.

If you want to use all of my portrait mods but hate all the clutter in your launcher, I recommend using Manic's Portraits instead.

Would it be at all possible to only have the northern indian portraits be modified? I actually quite like the southern indian portraits and would rather they wouldnt be changed. Thank you!

UPDATE: Skin colour of North and South Indians made darker. Will probably make adjustments in the future, especially for the South Indians, to make the shading/reflections a little more natural. For those who preferred the original tones, I have included an alternate version in the updated non-Steam version of the game which you can use instead.

Made some additional tweaks to beards and hairstyles to make them fit the new faces better. Some hairstyles for North Indian females remain a little misaligned, will fix in the next update.

@Pycoeb: You cant be any more racist. :P

@ManicMayo you should make darker only dravidians (south indians), because they are not aryan and in reality they are dark like modern indians. Aryans on north are good. But thank you anyway for your portraits, i use only them now.

@Pycoeb - Thanks! Although you should be aware that I will be making them darker in the next update. Don't worry though, I'll include the current skin tones as an optional extra in the non-Steam download folder.

You are best! Thank you for more aryan (white) indians!
