These morphs are not really good because they don't show the sharp features that we typically see in Nordids, specially Skandonordids. I prefer to look at real individuals. Also, profile pictures are very important to analyze the progressivity of someone: you can't deduce the cephalic index, chin projection or nose form, that are very important progressive traits, without good pictures.
