Notger, Bishop-Prince of Liège, 3D animated era-specific leaderhead

Here is my very first leaderhead ! I got Poser only a month ago, I know he's not perfect, but I want to share it.

Notger was the first Bishop-Prince of Liège. He ruled the Principalty of Liège ( the most powerfull walloon feudal state ) from 972 to 1008. There's a saying : Liège doit Notger à Dieu et tout le reste à Notger ( = Liège owes Notger to God, and everything else to Notger ).



I designed him for because :
- I wanted a walloon leader
- There is no leader with a clerical look

Not bad, but I recommend getting Michael instead of using Poser's regular male model. Naturally, the poser-look is more evident to those who have used the program, but it does show in quality (and it makes all leaderheads made with P4/P5 male look disturbingly alike). For example IMO CivArmy made the jump to leaderhead greatness when he switched away from the basic Poser model.

I know what you mean. But actually, Notger really looked like this

Maybe Curious Labs modelled their male model after him?

It's a good start and an excellent effort for first leaderhead. I'd like to see what you can do with a better model and more experience.

You've made a really good start to doing leaderheads !!

I agree with Drift about the Michael comment - it will improve your leaderheads greatly. I also recommend experimenting with resizing - for example, if you re-sized figure 1 to 120% and/or maybe made the suit in the modern era narrower so that it was a tighter fit, it might look better.

However, for a first try it is very good; well done!!

Thanks for your comment.

I think I'll resize everything. His head is really too small on the picture
I found some free stuff to improve industrial and modern era. I think I'm gonna improve them.

I have to admit that what I prefer is to morph the head. I have more dificulties with props and clothes.

That's how it is. Clothes are hard to use at first, it takes practice, that's all.

So, ready for another round of beer talking ?

Good LH
