To you it doesn't make sense. And as you say, a lot of people see what you see. As such, I'd like to look at the examples you you gave and see if they are the same situations or different.

So first Anna. . . this was difficult to find, because she is not listed as Anna on the page since her name is customizable. I will say right now, I have never examined these that I can recall. Usually what we go by is general face shape and eyes along with angle of face.

Anna face 1 - Same ears, same nose, eyebrows are close not identical, same lips just different lipstick, same eyes, same chin. So basically one point of difference and it's a slight tilt in eyebrows.

Anna face 2 - Same chin, same eyes, different nose, different eyebrows, but they clearly are altered one from another as the difference is entirely in length, same cheeks, ears are not visible. Different necks, but this is because Kassidy doesn't have neck detail. The shape is the same. Two points of difference and one is a slight length difference in eyebrows.

Anna Face 3 - Face is basically the same except as if someone had puffed out Cyndii's cheeks a tiny bit. . . that's it. Otherwise she is identical. One point of difference.

Anna Face 4 - This one's tough, but I think what we have going on here is a change in lip shape and a drastic change of makeup. They look drastically different at first glance, but I think it's mostly because they changed her makeup. So basically two points of change or really one, since the makeup doesn't really count, it just works way better then most changes.

Okay, so that covers Anna. Not one of those had more than two points of differences (since colors don't count and hairstyle doesn't count).

The guards are another one I haven't looked at.

There are three appearances listed there, so this will be between all three. Obviously, ears are different. The inner ear might be the same. It's hard to tell for sure on the temple guard. Noses appear to be identical. Eyes appear to be identical. Slight difference in angle of eyebrows. The temple guard and fae guard have identical chins. The Undermount guard has a slightly more pointed one. Jaw line appears to be identical on all three.

So as with Anna, we have only two or three differences and one of these is eyebrows. Perfectly within reason.

This however is my assessment of Santiago and Ben (didn't know who the third one was at the same, but yes, I agree Alvarez and Ben are the same face model.

Different eyes, different ears, different noses, different eyebrows, different foreheads, different lips, potentially the same jawline and chin, and similar facial hair. Overall, I would say no, but all of those things are similar. The ears are pretty glaring as are the eyebrows and foreheads, but for the latter two mostly because of how they relate to each other. I can see the possibility that they took Santiago and made him more detailed, because with the ears, there is more depth in Ben's ear in addition to a different shape. They eyes mostly differ in the tearducks, which are larger and more detailed on Ben. Ben's eyes are wider while Santiago looks like he's squinting just a little making his more oval and Ben's more square with rounded edges. Santiago's eyebrows are more rounded while Ben's are straight on the top. You can only see one of Ben's nostril's, though shape wise they are otherwise similar as if Santiago's nose was turned to the side a little, which is also showing in the eyebrows and forehead since you cannot see all of Ben's eyebrows, while you can see all of Santiago's. Ben's lips are fuller and more detailed, but the smile is curving the same. Santiago's earlobe sticks out just a little while Ben's does not at all. That's probably it.

That's six points of difference. The biggest thing is the angle of the face. I suppose it's possible that they could have software that turns faces since I don't actually know how these images are made, but otherwise they would have to start from scratch. These men are similar, but they have so many points of difference. A lot of these differences could be accounted for by turning the head and adding more detail as I point out in my analysis. To be honest, I wanted to say yes. I just can't after actually looking at them closely. For me I could see all three being from the same base, but I can't see Santiago being the base for Ben and Alvarez.
