I drew a front profile and side profile skull, I traced over a photo of an individuals head, guess the type and after a few guesses I will reveal the subject and then I will show the skull pic on top of that subjects in an x-ray view.

Cro-Magnon. Bruenn or Falid.

This should be fun...

So, let's see. This fellow's profile is quite progressive looking, with no signs of alveolar prognathism; this rules out a Negroid or Australoid classification. See Negroid and Australoid examples:

Likewise, the orbits and jaw are entirely too squared off for it to be a Mongoloid:

So, this leaves us with the Caucasoid grouping. Is this an Aurignacoid skull? Certainly not:

Which leaves us with Cromagnoid as the winner:

Is this your skull? ;)

^Too late, I already posted the x-rays. :P Guess I went too early.

Anyone else want to take up the torch? Post some skull illustrations and have the members trace a reconstruction out? I love doing this sort of thing, taking pics of skulls then drawing the flesh features over top, or taking photos and drawing a skull x-ray.

Barreldriver, do you have a cleft chin under that beard?

Few things. You're almost certainly not brachycephalic. Your head appears very long, and not really broad. Your eye sockets are more rounded. I think the line drawn around your eyes is a bit too rectangular. Also, the jaw is surely more gracile too. In drawing the line along your cheeks you "turned" the, relatively thick, masseter muscles into into bone. I think your calvarium is more rounded than on the side pic too.

Yes, a bit, not as pronounced as my fathers.
