I need a lot of them for a project I'm working on. I've made about 20 myself by modding male pictures by hand, but I still need 46 more. Anybody have such pics lying around?

I'd prefer black and white pics that show the wear and poor quality characteristic of obscure Chinese generals' pics, but right now most of anything will do, as long as they're Asian, female, and in the correct size.
 
Modding male pictures by hand, is that like making male Chinese leaders have long hair? xD
 
Hair, softer jaws and noses, thin eyebrows, less of the massive foreheads for some. Hell, I even have 3 or 4 bald ones. In many cases, it also made them a lot more feminine if I shortened their mouths. I don't know what was with those times because now the Chinese look nothing like that (except at the appropriate ends of their huge variety), but some of these guys sported some serious maws.

Some look better and/or more feminine than others. I didn't always pick the best base faces.

Edit: I'm somewhat proud of this one:

What's the point....?

There were historic Chinese female leaders. Just take images from modern re-enactment movies/television series and grayscale them.
 
I've plied the 'Net, I'll ply it some more, but still 27 short ATM.

I know at least three television series in the last two years (summers I was in China) that was broadcast on CCTV1 featured female leaders. Two NRA, two CRA. One was a warlord leader for NRA. One was a resistance leader for NRA once KMT were kicked out into Taiwan. One was a local peasant militia leader for CRA, one was the historic "Jiang Jie" (historical accuracy is dubious though since it is written as part of CCP propaganda, probably based on some real person at a minimum). There's also lots of old black and white television series with female characters (probably more realistic, many of the modern remakes take too many artistic freedoms, like wearing anachronistic clothing or hairstyles).

Chinese Acting is fairly atrocious though. Haven't seem many "realistic" actors play their roles well....aside from the classic <<Big Narrow Door>> (or something like that, it's an oxymoron allegory)

Most modern wwii films have a female character at a minimum. A majority would be in espionage or militia positions since historically there weren't many in the official army.

I don't need historical ones, it's a little alternate history piece I'm doing. I just needed some Chinese female faces, preferably soldiers or old, and preferably not cutesy because they're supposed to be, for the most part, soldiers who've risen in the warlord army's ranks due to competence on the field, not pretty photogenic models.
