Amazing work, can't wait to see the release version! 
It's really a shame that Paradox didn't hire you to do all the portraits packs. I totally think that they should have hired you into their permanent staff!
I agree with the posts above that there isn't much reason to make different faces for Scandinavians or Russians. Having some specifically Russian or Scandianavian beards/hairstyles would be enough, together with, maybe, complexion tweaked a little bit.
Clothing, on the other hand, is a whole different matter. If you're interested, here is the link to a website with some pictures of Russian medieval clothing, with both reconstructions and pictures from historical sources: Russian medieval clothes (google translated from Russian). Note the links to the pages with men's clothing, women's clothing and headwear to the right of the page. Another link with some commentary.

Wow.... looking fantastic Danevang, keep it up
Personally I thought they were all pretty good (except the mediterranean, obviously) but for me the Scandinavian one gives the Mongols a damn good run for it's money. At any rate, none of them compare to this stuff...
Holy cow! I can't believe Paradox didn't keep you on for the rest of the portrait dlcs. You have my best wishes and I definitely would have paid for your work.
I have nothing to add to this thread, just wanted to say me and my friends are super hyped about your work.
Best of luck and god speed

I have no words to describe how fantastic this mod looks...
I've played 530 hours of CK2 and these few pictures on the first page have made me want to spend another 530! The idea of being able to play a game with characters looking this amazing, as well as having true genetic resemblances, is just....amazing!
How hard is it to finish a single portrait?
Considering the way these portraits would breath new life into CK2, it's sad that this thread doesn't have more attention...

This just looks amazing.
EDIT: One question though. Will this be compatible with the portrait pack DLCs and/or are you planning to replace them with your own version of it?

Cool! I don't think the default western faces are in need of updating quite yet but if you want to snazz them up, well, that's fine too!
However the Arab portraits definitely need updating so I'm glad they're also part of your initial work list. These portraits look great and I can't wait to see them in action, whenever that happens to transpire!
