I think that He looks like this:

Except more real (i.e., more weathered. I mean, after all of the suffering He underwent, it almost feels like an insult to make him so unblemished and "milk-and-watery"). And more middle-eastern.

No seriously, I know what you meant... but I have to many images that come to mind to pick just one... but I guess the top few are:

Jesus on the San Damiano Crucifix,
the Divine Child Jesus,
Jesus in the Divine Mercy Image,
and many, many different Icons...

I think of Jesus as yeah very middle-eastern... and masculine... strong but gentle.

I like this one but believe this image is a close representation, only Alittle bit more darker skinned.

I like this one His face is very masculine and gives a solid expression IMHO.

I'm partial to this one as well.

He definitely would have had his hair parted in the middle since that was the Nazarene style. I suspect that he had kind of mesmerizing eyes.

Nihil Obstat

I like that He's a bit darker in that icon. Definitely has a middle eastern look that some depictions tend to leave out, which of course isn't an inherently wrong thing. Just the way it happened.

Me too. I've never heard that expression. :mellow:

My first thoughts were like what is Jesus looking at, or where to look for him.

I wondered if English was not the poster's first language. Then I looked and saw it was Rexi. :mellow:

Well, to be fair, I think Latin is his first language. :P

I think he was trying to avoid ending the sentence in "like." lol

I think he was making an ill-executed attempt to be grammatically correct.

Rexi, I think I like your image best. It probably comes closest to what I have in my head. ;)
