Revelation 1:15
King James Version
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, .................. (John1:14)
Do you know 'basically' what did Jesus look like in appearance?
I think it is OK for every ethnicity to paint Him in any color they wish. It is not important for anything.
I personally think He had white or olive skin and hair maybe red-ish, like David. Or maybe brown, black, blond, who knows.
I think the authors of the gospels did not mention these details either intentionally or it was so irrelevant for them that they did not care to mention it.

Scripturally is important, but making up one's own assumption is unimportant and uncalled for and is not of faith.
For it is written, "Faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of GOD."
All Scripture is breathed out by GOD ............................................ (2Timothy3:16&17)
There is scripture to support basically how His appearance was, and not specifically.
Isaiah 53:
1. Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2. For He shall grow up before HIM as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.
To what you've described about His looks 'is way off', irrelevant compared to the Word of GOD.

David was red-haired. I think it is futile to picture Jesus according to any modern specific ethnicity and claim it is "in all probability". There are so many unknowns in the history of the ancient Israel that probabilities are not too... significant.
And because Jesus did not have a human father, we have no knowledge of how the half of His genes looked like, anyway. So the final result could be almost anything.

No, but almost something Biblically and according to Isaiah ch. 53
Almost describes that He didn't have any appealing look to man, compared to the 'patriarchs' of Israel.
Besides learned and wise and the Son of man, a nobody and lowest commoner.

I have seen Jesus many times in Visions. I asked Him what He looked like in His earthly ministry, and He said look at the shroud of Turin. He has appeared to me as a black man, an old woman, young women etc. Just like with the Apostles. After He appeared, and after Jesus rose again, amen, to the apostles in the closed room, they didn't recognize Him until He showed His wounds, Mary thought Him to be the gardener, to the two on the road to Emmaus, and on the shore in John 21:12 - nobody asked who He was (they didn't recognize Him), they knew it was the Lord. Even in His earthly ministry He passed through crowds that were going to stone Him. I haven't seen His Glorified self yet. Right now, He shows me, He is like all of us.
I do not know why some few Christians repeat this nonsense. Isaiah 53 is a prophetic description of Jesus on the cross - beaten, bloodied, swollen, whipped, broken face, humiliated with the crucifixion.
Is 53 has nothing to do with His natural look. If somebody wants to believe that the true Son of God was physically somehow deformed and not in a perfect shape/health, it is quite a weird desire. It is surely not supported by Is 53.

Revelation 1:7
King James Version
7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
I don't know and know what Jesus Messiah looks like according to the Holy Bible. I will know when Jesus Messiah comes in the end times. 
That's your silly interpretation and misrepresentation, i disagree!
Just vs. 2, 'He shall grow up before Him', stop babbling nonsense rather, thank you.
Nothing wrong with that.Revelation 1:7
King James Version

But what i shared is also Biblical.
Not that i desire to see him because is written,
John 20:
29. Jesus saith unto him, "Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
Only fellowship with believers what Biblically is mentioned of Him and His basic appearance, that's all.
i don't see why this is a big issue and some are responding unfoundationally.
Apparently you're 'weird' and ignoring 'scripture', as 'imposters' and 'counterfeits' do, going ahead of the foundation.
Bye!
You are making no sense, it seems you are in your own world. Is 53 is about the suffering of Christ.
Church, stick to the 'truth', and not get distracted by 'imposters' and 'counterfeits' among us who go ahead of the foundation.
Vs. 2, For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.

Do not cherrypick, if you read this literally as His physical description, then you must also believe Jesus had no form. You will go from absurdity to absurdity.
