As we all know very few portaits of Alexander have survived. We have the Alexander Mosaic in Pompeii, and some coins depicting Alexander. Other than that we have a few surviving statues and some literary accounts - not always trustful - since most of them lived long after Alexander.
Based on literary accounts and one statue of Alexander, i tried to depict how he could possibly look like. Most accounts refer to him as having curly, dark blond hair, fair skinned and having different colours in his eyes, a blue and a dark one.
Here is a somehow possible depiction of Alexander the great.
