Help Request for Native Leaderheads

Hi everybody,

I am ray, Civ4Col modder and member of the project Religion and Revolution.

Sadly our community is a lot smaller than Civ4 community and thus we are currently not having a lot of skilled modders for Leaderhead graphics.

I am especially looking for good leaderheads for Native leaders of the 15th to 17th century.
(North American, Central American, South American)

We know that there already have been created some leaderheads for such Natve leaders in this forum.
(We have simply already used or at least seen most of them.)

Thus I thought it might not hurt if I simply ask, if there is somebody around interested in creating some new ones ...

Help would really be appreciated.

I have attached a zip with some graphics.
But feel free of course to live your creativity and do something totally different.
There are lots of graphics for Native leaders of that time around if you are looking for inspiration ...

Maybe you could try again posting this request here. But don't get your hopes up, as far as I can see there are not many leaderhead makers left here as well and these few take up request very seldom.

One exception is Novator, who is creating quite a lot leaderheads at the moment, but he already got lots of requests and seems to more into ancient and medieval Eurasian leaders.

I myself am working at a female native leader at the moment, but not because I have any important real-life leader I want to create. I was just inspired by models from other games. Here is how she looks so far:

I guess I've gone a bit overboard with the feathers, but otherwise I'm pleased with her so far. I thought to make Cockacoeske out of her, but I could change that if someone has a better idea.

That's amazing SL. Great work yet again.

Eventually I'd like to learn to make leaderheads. However, unit making will probably be my priority. Right now, all I can make are non-animated structures.

Oh,she looks great!
I could use her as Sacajawea.

I simply thought it might not hurt to ask.
And your post shows that I was right.

We are not necessarily looking for Native Leaderheads that directly 100% fit to a historical person.

We go the other way around.
We take the leaderheads we find / get and then have our specialists for historical research find a historical person (and a Native Civilization) that might fit.
(And I am absolutely sure, that our specialists for historical research will find a historical person that fits.)

And even if not, we can still make up a "fictional" Native leader. Historical records about Native leaders of that era are vague enough to allow us such freedom.

If you don't mind, I will tell my team about this leaderhead.
(Historical research might begin then ...)

Wow, another great LH on the way

Thanks for the nice words, I'll see to finish her soon.

Sure I don't mind, that would be rather helpful for me in fact. I'll go with Cockacoeske for now, but if you find someone more fitting I can switch that. And if I upload her as Cockacoeske, feel free to change her afterwards. I'm just happy if my work finds some good use.

Obviously I didn't see her animated
But I kinda like the amount of feathers
