---ARTISTS WANTED!---

[RFormica]

I am making a mod that adds King Edward IV as an alternate leader to England.
I am a terrible artist, so I need help with the leader art. I would like someone who could mimic the art in Civ6 as closely as possible. (For instance, look at JFD's civilizations.)

Here's what I would like him to look like:

-Red jacket, large chocolate floral design, unbuttoned, (Well, the jacket actually has no buttons, but that's the best term I could think of)

-Black undershirt, 4 large egg-shaped gold buttons with diamond-shaped rubies and sapphires inlaid. (Bottom-most button ruby, third button sapphire, second button ruby, top button sapphire.) Lines of small round emeralds or pearls acting as dividers between the button segments. (Button segments = rectangular parts of undershirt with buttons in middle.)

-Black Tricorn hat

-Pale skin

-Curly brown hair down to middle of neck.

Thanks so much!!!!!!

Wow, nothing like being specific. I'm no artist but I played with an image in photoshop

Well, my own photoshop project isn't going so well.

It's not an easy thing. I had to work on my Mongolian leaders a lot before I got something that I was happy with. I think a key is to reuse existing features from Firaxis leaders as much as possible as they have the appropriate texturing. When it comes to the clothes ofcourse if you can find high res images you have a bit more freedom.

The problem is that the renaissance English monarchy had their own very specific type of clothing. I was able to do the face and hair down to the nose just fine, but that's probably as far as I can get. Also, in movies and such they are depicted in royal robes and suits of armor, but not what I am looking for. What programs did you use, and do you have any other tips?

I used gimp. I guess one thing I did was use a lot of layers, adding new features on a copy of the layer i was happy with. I used the clone and smudge tools quite a lot too I also found this guide very helpful.
