A little bummed out that we won’t have the older portrait packs harmonized with the new sets 
If you use these mods, you can replace all the old portraits with faces from new portrait sets.

For example the Beautiful Vikings mod gives North Germanic cultures German faces in old Norse clothes.

The Beautiful Celts mod gives Celtic cultures English faces in Celtic clothes.

This mod (which I consider the best), gives you more than 15 new portrait sets, using core game assets, by combining faces and clothes sets, to create unique portraits for minority culture groups like: Georgians, Lithuanians, Tocharians, Assamese etc.

Pretty good. Though I wish we would get Berber and Caucasian portraits before the end of any development of CK2.
Oh, that's cool. I hope they're used for both Egyptian and Coptic cultures; it's kinda weird that Copts look Greek.
I simply just had them when I booted up the game today, so there might not be a link.
No steam page -- just let the game update to 3.3.0 (turn off the 64-bit beta if you have it, you don't need it anymore) and the Egyptian portraits are in automatically.
Just to be clear, the Egyptian portraits are not listed as a DLC in the launcher right ? They are just in the game for the Egyptian characters ?
Oh, I am waiting for Coptic portraits very much! Moreover, in the folder of female portraits there is an undeleted "copticegyptian_female_headgear_behind" and portraits of Coptic children. Apparently they wanted to add, but something prevented.
In general, in a good way, it is necessary to re-release all portraits issued before the "holy fury" or at least before the portraits of China and Tibet - they are all morally obsolete, especially the Celtic ones.
New portraits now have the opportunity to "hide hair" and there is no longer a need to draw huge headless hats to hide boundless fleeces.
The Scandinavians can simply redraw their faces, give a “contrast” or something, to realism, but the Mongolian and Russian ones are wildly primitively painted, although in life these are some of the most original and beautiful costumes, it’s impossible to look at all, but it’s better to keep silent about faces.
But the Franks drew so much and added overlays, although there was no need.
The Turks against the background of the Cumans primitively depicted costumes, but their faces are beautiful.
The Persians look very, very primitive in contrast to the Arabs, although the history of their civilization and costume is much older and richer - so it should be different - Iranian costumes are very beautiful and original, preserving many features of pre-Islamic times
The Jews need their costumes - and two rash groups - each in their own.
The Arabs were separated by drawing old arabian costumes, new arabian costumes, costumes for the Egyptians, and the Finns with the Ugrians are still in the same cultural group, although there are more gaps between them than between the Slavic and the Balts, but they were also divided ( and that's good), and even the Slavs of the Western, Eastern and Southern and the southern ones also got two different sets of clothes, which is right, but why did they do this with the Finns and the Ugrians? While they can be given separate costumes for the Ugrians, separate for the Finns of the Baltic, Volga and Perm. Well, or at least just separate for the Finnish and Ugrians.
And it would be nice to give the costume to the Sámi, the Nenets, who also need to be allocated in a separate group, Nenets are not Finno-Ugric.
And to separate the Arabs from the Berbers, they will often become at war with each other, which will reflect the historical justice and tendency of the Berbers to have their own statehood and not fall under the process of Arabization, and at the same time add cultures to Canarians with their costumes.
In a good way, without even going to extremes and not trying to shred reality by one hundred percent - you can still release packs of clothes, adjust cultures and borders of countries (they have been so wise with Russia, but there’s no historicity anyway).
What about Byzantium? As if they tried, but failed.
At the same time, there was no need to draw such a number of faces to related European peoples or to separate the Kumans from the Turks, but a large number of countries and peoples were not paid attention at all.
The churches of the East — Orthodoxy, Nestorianism and Monophysitism — are only worse displayed in EU4 — very conditionally.
And this is while there are so many interesting moments in Orthodoxy that would make the game very diverse. There, after all, autocephaly still had to be tried to get! And the appointment of the patriarchs is only of the Greeks and from Constantinople. So many game mechanics, and even based on the same laws of primogenetics can be done. Costumes to the clergy to update. Make for all heads of Christian denominations. Finally, add the Armenian Apostolic Church and how to add undivided Christianity to CK + with a mechanism for decaying into Catholics and Orthodox or with a mechanism for preventing this.
However, I do not understand why there is so much hype about West Africans - they are drawn very cool! If only update lightly. Do you understand that Afrikanoids and Ethiopians are two different races belonging to the Big African Race? So both of them are beautifully rendered!
In general, much can be done, but much is almost necessary. And not because the game is bad - my favorite, but because the game is magnificent and set a high standard for herself.

Awesome! I hope it will not be the last...there are still many groups that could use a proper portraits-pack, like the baltics and the berbers. And there are still older portraits that could really use a rework. Let's hope Paradox doesn't abandon CK2.
