Ekmek's Civ4 Leaderhead Gallery

[PW90]

Thank you Ekmek for doing Meiji, Wu, Xerxes and even a perfect Franz-Josef which looks much better than mine (and I thought my version was good)

One question: Who is "Xochiquetzal" and how will he look like?

A few requests (Then I will be happy):
Salomon of Israel
Kamehameha of Polynesia
Gustav II. Adolf of Sweden

And a special request I'm not able to do:
Are you able to remove the thing on the head of the attached Leader and give him instead the crown of Isabella?

 

[Ekmek]

My buddy PW90. How you doing?

Xochiquetzal is an aztec "goddess." I figured a female aztec would be cool instead of doing another male. i have some model wok but Ataturk is taking most of my time.

if you post the nif I'll remove the attachment on his head.

I think Capo is trying Gustav. there is talk of making poseidon a Solomon.

I'm slow on requests these days so I cant promse anything until christmas

Is Ataturk looking good?

Post a picture to see if we can help you!

Why not Atotoztli, mother of three of the greatest Aztec emperors, rather than a nonexistent goddess?

BTW, your Meiji is without a doubt one of the greatest and most challenging LH creations ever.

It's very good, but it still has "issues" that never got fixed.

 

[The Capo]

If you need Gustav quickly I wouldn't rely on me, it will probably take me over a month to actually finish up, I'm busy with a lot of stuff, plus this is my first attempt at making a leaderhead so it may not even turn out well. And apparently I picked a difficult base to work with.

 

[The Capo]

Somebody did Hiawatha, I'm sure.

I put the Iroquois in the mod I'm making and I used leaderheads from colonization.

yeah i'm working on the reskinning plus seeing it in game i need to fix the sash and the eyes tend to pop-out. since thats a result of making the head more narrow i have to figure out what to do with that.

the face is coming along. I have yet to choose the animations. and the suit needs modeling work (I need to add/fix the collar and tie -not seen in pic)

then there is some additional texture work. i think the chin and nose matches and the eye brows are close. the black+white photos don't help - but he was a dark blond/light brunette with blue eyes which isnt obvious when you look at b+w photos. so i have that to contend with on trying to make it match. for bg - i havent decided but thinking of the turkish parliament (grand assembly)

works for me - wont change the model

I just meant the name. Not the model itself.

Great start! Instantly recognizable!

I'm fine, thanks. But I have much to do with my matura.
No problem, if it takes months to create Solomon and Gustav.
The above mentioned leader is attached. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I use Logan for Ostenaco (sorry, Ekmek).
Ataturk looks GREAT!!! Is he based on Alexander too?

I just wanted to pop in and let you know I think you did a great job on Meiji. Finally I can implement a competent AI for Japan! (Yeah, sure, I could just modify Tokugawa's personality, but that would be too easy now wouldn't it?)

Anyway, I've been waiting for someone to take a shot at this particular leader, and you nailed it. Keep up the good work!

I used a combo Mansa/Zaraq AI routine... Meiji is a blatant tech-whore in my mod.

Yeah thanks that you haven't given up finishing him... the eyes do pop-out, the sash is weird, he magically lost his super-cool goatee (the goatee was in the beta, but vanished in the final), and he has some weird purple glow in his hair now.

I still think he's too broad-shouldered... would be nice if his shoulders/chest-size was turned-down a notch. It's like his head size is too small for his body size or vice-versa.

i think i can fix that too. any ideas for a more unique background? i like the indoor palce look but its from the taizong guy. no one raised an issue but i figured while i'm fixing it maybe someone can find a background from the japanese palace that my apply?

 

[Wolfshanze]

Pictures of the chrysanthemum throne room are for some reason exceedingly difficult to find (at least in color and/or good size).

You can always try using a picture of the Imperial Palace (Kokyo) outside grounds/gardens, as they are far easier to find/use... I find it odd how hard it is to get a good picture of Meiji's throne room though.

This is Meijie's throne in b/w (which I know is useless for BG purposes), but at least you know what it looks like!

You could try choosing something off of this page of the Imperial Tokyo Palace, or just look up the Imperial Gardens... or just leave-it as-is... what's the current background of?

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

There was a bridge somewhere in Japan that somebody recommended.

I already mentioned it... Tokyo Imperial Palace Seimon Ishibashi Bridge and Fushimi Yagura Tower. I'm not so sure it's the way to go here... I'd rather just use something from the Imperial gardens... the bridge pics always seem to have him standing too far from the palace.
