I still see differences which other's are not seeing, I know, But I am coming out of lone wolf hollow just to say once again the only similarities I see are 2 eyes, a nose and a goatee, which are only slightly similar.
DN's ears fall on a line between the bottoms of his eyes and the top of his mouth. They are large, low on his head and stick out.
BG's ears fall between the top of his eyes and the bottom of his nose. They are smaller and higher on his head and are closer.
BG's face is more oval and shows a stronger chin line under his ears.
DN's face is rounder and his chin line is about even with his ears.
DN's eyes are round and far apart.
BG's eyes are hooded and far apart.
DN's nose shows a flat and long bridge with narrow nostrils.
BG's nose shows a flat and long bridge with wider nostrils.
All JMO
Respectfully, Steleheart, I can totally understand what you are saying, but the fact that the mugshot is being compared to a "Sketch" and not a photograph, in my opinion, gives a lot more leeway for the comparison. I myself see a strong comparison between the BG photo and one of the DN mugshots because of his chin. The shape of the chin jumps out at me, but I guess we all see different things, which is fine, but I would absolutely expect a sketch to differ from an actual photo on many of the finer points. MOO
Oh I get that and I see the front of the chin as slightly similar as can be seen in DN's other mugs. But when you look at the jawlines DN seems to have no lower Mandible back by his ears.
Everything he eats must explode in his eardrums, IMO.
But while we cannot post side by side comparisons, I try to look at articles where the both are compared.
To your greater point - comparing a hand done sketch to actual photographs - I get that. I will be more than happy to admit, if DN is charged, that the sketch was inaccurate. Many sketches end up being inaccurate, as the many cases we follow show.
But in the basic proportions, a talented sketch artist knows what questions to ask as to shape of head, (round, egg) , relationship of ears (low on the head, high, stick out),in addition to width of eyes compared to lips, etc. Then they will show the witness what they have and correct as needed.
It's only as good as the witness in the end. So all I did was show differences in basic proportions.
BG has thin lips. Similar to my own. But DN has pencil, down turned lips that look like eyebrows that were shaved and then drawn on
Anyone would remember those "protruding ears" on DN if they ever had them or knew of a child who was teased because of them. And so low on his head.
IMO these are basic but glaring differences
to me.
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks much A52.
Also, just to reiterate - we are not allowed to post side-by-side comparisons or altered images of the sketch/ pics released by LE.
All :cow:
