Charlemagne of Carolingians (3d-anim-era)

[Zion_Withrow]

I like Charlemagne so far, I think you did a great job Civarmy. For the idustrial age I like this look. He is Louis Alexandre Berthier, Marshal of France and chief of the staff under Napoleon. And since Napoleon was crowned Emporer as well I think this look would be great.

 

[Goldflash]

Thats exactly what I was thinking, Zion.

I'd give him some facial hair in the modern era. His face is so thin-looking that it doesn't even look like the same head. He looks pinched and drawn and a little unhealthy. But I suppose the years catch up to ya...

PS I like that look too, Zion

Hrafnkell,
If you try to photoshop the face, make him either gain weight or increase the size of the eyes and this effect you noticed goes away.
I don't think he is too thin, but he looks "pinched" like he is trying hard to be polite, but is very angry.

I tried to do the industrial era like the images reference, but the result was not so good so I changed the theme, check the 1st post to see the Charlemagne industrial age and post what do u people think

I think it looks "ok", but IMO it's not a very distinctive of what era it is. It looks like it could be mid age too. (I think he's also wearing the same clothing under the cloak thingy too? lol) Maybe if you added in some of the white fluffy stuff below the neck (sorry, don’t know what they call it ) like in the reference picture (and on the Prussian LH too I think) or something else, i think it just needs a bit more to it. Looks good though! Keep up the good work!

Also-maybe a mustache and some funky industrial sideburns? Just a thought. He looks like a modern guy in medieval clothing

Maybe it all evens out though? Industrial is in betwixt Middle ages and Modern, lol, so maybe a mix gives you industrial!

This is all just my honest opinion, I don't expect you or anyone else to agree with it. Just speaking my mind in hopes of helping! GL

I don't know. I still like the first two eras a lot, but not the industrial or modern. The modern face does not look like the same guy as in the industrial - his jawline is definitely narrower. The clothing in the last era is alright but I am not sure what the industrial era outfit is supposed to be and the background is awfully busy.

I must say I really like the Industrial age as it stands, although it looks more like late medieval, somehow.

Civ Army, you're right, Erigena wasn't Frankish - he was Irish, but he worked under the Carolingians. Perhaps that's not Frankish enough. I can give you a couple of other suggestions if you like - perhaps Agobard and Lupus Servatus might be good choices.

 

[HolyEmperor]

I reaaly liked the Modern era. The industrial one... well I do think what you did is lacking, that is an early industrial age monarch, around the Renaissance.
Well, anyway, I like 'em both!

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

I think the industrial age is well done, but... doesn't look like a leader of the industrial age. I have to re-do this era, I think the scenario of the church (Notredame?) will be the same, but the clothes need chages and the face some beard of that time

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

1st post, new industrial age and I added the mustache in the modern time.

 

[Bjornlo]

Nice face, but looks quite medieval.
Cathedrals are not very industrial feeling.
Also, the eyes still strike me as very small and beady. Some people do have small eyes that that. I never envisioned Karl der Große to be one of them.
--edit--
ps: last time I bug you about the eyes,

 

[Corn Shucker]

I think it looks great now!

I continue thinking there is no problem with the eyes size
I think the beard looks like more industrial then medieval... I was thinking add the Eiffel Tower in the Industrial age, but I already added it in the modern era and I'd like to add Notredame this is the reason of my choice.

I agree that the facial hair and haircut look quite industrial-age.
Notre Dame was built around 1200, and so is not an industrial building.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have the background include something from the industrial age?
Maybe a factory? Some smoke coming out of chimneys? Early cars in a street? Almost anything from 1850 to 1950 rather then something from 700 years too early.

 

[Zion_Withrow]

I agree with Bjornlo that the hair and haircut in the industrial age looks great. Good job Civarmy
Also Notre Dame would not be a good choice for the background. Since the time of the idustrial revolution in Europe was in the 18th century and 19th century a factory or a steam engine would look great. However I think that either the political prison of Bastille (on the left below) or the French Govermental Palace of Versailles (on the right below) would be perfect. Since the French revolutions took place during the turn of the 18th century all the way to the middle of the 19th century these fit into the era great. Even though both were built alot earlier they played important parts in the Revolutions.

I like the outfit in the industrial age but I think it needs not to have that much red and more dark blue like the suit in the modern era. However I really am glad that there is finally a Charles the Great leader head. Great Job Civarmy!!!

Mutton Chops! Smarmy!

 

[Corvex]

Considering how huge Charlemagne allegedly was, it seems to make sense that his eyes might be somewhat small in proportion to his face. You're eyeballs don't grow, after all.

I'm not at all sure about the helmet in the ancient era - it looks too plasticky. Is there any way of getting some textures on it to make it look more realistic? As it is, I would think it might be better to have no helmet at all, as the rest of the LH looks so good the helmet rather spoils it a bit.
