Maybe something like this, although a lot of people don't like un-animated backgrounds that are outside.

Maybe him in front of a bunch of turkish flags in front of the hagia sofia

Yeah I tried to find something like that, it would have to be photoshopped, but I think it would like nicer if it was more vibrant. I think the red with a blue sky (and especially with hagia sofia in the bg) would look really cool.
Ataturk! The face looks amazing, Ekmek. The only nitpicks that I can find are that the hair seems a little odd in texture and there may be an issue where the neck meets the collar (that might just be from the precise pose when the screenshot was taken). If those can be addressed, wonderful. Even if they can't, this is a splendid and much needed addition to your library. Thank you.

Awesome job! It seems like he can be slightly modified to become a Nicolas Sarkozy LH too, lol.

I did a background with the Turkish flag, so I found this background which is Ataturk's Study in Dolmabache Palace. But if you find some alternatives its easy to include them.
Thanks for the other suggestions, I'll work on it.

Hi Ekmek,
Great start on Ataturk; the resemblance is pretty noticable already. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Is Xochiquetzal to a previewable state? I am very interested to see what you've come up with for a female Aztec leader...
Cheers,

Sorry to "threadjack" but I figured this would be a good place to ask (in order to get a quick response). I am using Amra's Burebista as Brian Boru for a Europe Mod I am making and his mouth is pink (basically he is missing his teeth and so on), is there a way to fix this quickly? As in the way your Peron was fixed, or do I have to make a specific graphic for his teeth?
Thanks in advance, BTW I would say Ataturk is ready to go, but if you want to perfect it, by all means, its your baby.

I have some model stuff. but nothing in a preview state. don't worry when i start working on it it doesnt take long to get to preview state, but i'm going to finish Ataturk first.
use nifskope to see what file is missing. the quick way to do this is click on the body and removethat branch (DONT SAVE!) then you'll see the teeth and stuff. click on that and then look at the texturing property on the left panel (where all the nodes are). either add the file or Close the nifskope, reopen it and then go through all the branches and find the teeth and change the file name in texturing property by clocking on it.
that should do it.

Can you please change the name of the woman to Atotoztli? I still think that is more fitting than a goddess. In fact, using a goddess's name is condescending towards Aztec women.

Condescending to Aztec women?
You know what else was condescending? When they were all killed by Spain.

Okay maybe I'm a sped, but I mean there were real women in the Aztec Empire so why not have one?

Actually, there are still Aztec indians in Mexico... people still speak Nahuatl.
The Capo

Yeah but the Aztec tribe was destroyed or incorporated into other tribes. Just because you speak Nahuatl doesn't mean you are an Aztec. There are numerous Nahuatl-speaking natives of Mexico who are from other tribes, many of which helped Spain defeat Tenochtitlan.
But I'm sure Ekmek wouldn't like us continuing this discussion in his thread, I think my main point was that it isn't really that disrespectful to name a leaderhead after a goddess, compared to other things that have been done to these people.

Yeah but you could name her whatever you'd like. He isn't making the name, he's just making the leaderhead.
