[Antiochus VII]

An idea if you're doing a Hakka leaderhead...

Hong Xiuquan leader of the Taiping rebellion

(although I think this statue is EXTREMELY flattering versus his actual appearance - if there's an interest I can try to dig up some better pics )

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I want taiwanese king...
not a Chinese leader for Tawian. any Ideas?

 

[Antiochus VII]

I am seeing nothing in reference to a specific ruler - this site may be of use though in creating a leaderhead as it has a good amount of info including pictures on aboriginal Taiwan.

Shiro, for the region of Jilin province, you could have the Kingdom of Bohai (a.k.a. "Parhae" in Korean). The leader was Dae Jo-young who led the remnants of the Kingdom of Koguryeo (Koguryeo was conquered in Korea's Three Kingdoms Period). The region was home to the Mohe people, but I can't find any pics depicting the Mohe. They were conquered by Koguryeo earlier and was integrated into Koguryeo, so having a Korean-esque leader would work for them. The history of Parhae (probably a more proper term since Bohai is a Chinese term) is still a bit up for debate. The Chinese claim that Dae Jo-young was a Malgal ("Malgal" is another name for "Mohe," since "Mohe" is also a Chinese term) and that Parhae was a "barbarian" tributary state to the Tang Empire to deny connections between the Parhae state and Koguryeo. Then again, the writers of the history of the Tang Dynasty called EVERYONE else the same thing. On the other side of the debate, the Koreans apparently contest that Dae Jo-young was indeed of Koguryeo stock and that the peoples that inhabited Parhae (now "Jilin" province) were both Koguryeo AND Malgal. Their argument is that "Dae" is a uniquely Korean name. Personally, I'd side with the Koreans on this argument.

There aren't an pics I can find online of Dae Jo-young, but he should look like a Koguryeo-era king, kind of like this guy: Koguryeo mural

I don't know specific leaders for the Xianbei, Jurchens, and Khitans (all peoples that inhabited Heilongjiang region), but you could have a Manchurian king represent that region.

while looking for clothing ideas for Meiji I was inspired to make a few more heads for Japan ^ ^;;

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Where do you get your poser props from? The only good ones I can find are a bit pricey...

 

[ShiroKobbure]

alot of what I do is a mix of free props simple shapes, transparency tricks and home made textures. I think out of Jorde, civarmy, and R8FTX, I have the least amount of props and clothing.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

No, that would be me...

 

[ShiroKobbure]

anyone have any reference pictures of Hayam Wuruk?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Both Rita Poon and Civarmy did that guy

 

[ShiroKobbure]

yes. But I would like to see what he actually looked like and try to bas my model off that. There is no similarites in CivArmy's and Rita Poon, And Mine may not have any similarities either, so they could all be used for different heads.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

You don't think its a waste of your time to do something thats already been done?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

have I ever?
I think people should know, I make the heads I want, even if they have been made.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I just don't think you should bother
