Tau kan, misalnya ada penjahat yang buron polisi bakal bikin sketsa wajah orang tersebut berdasarkan keterangan saksi atau korban? Kebayang nggak kalau sketsa para karakter fiksi di buku dibuat berdasarkan keterangan-keterangan yang ada di buku?
Menggunakan law enforcement sketch software, Brain Joseph Davis mencoba mewujudkan hal ini. Dan kalau ada yang bilang film adaptasi buku sering salah pilih aktor, sepertinya harus mikir ulang. Soalnya, banyak sketsa para karakter fiksi di buku yang mirip aktor filmnya!
