Wow, You got the spear on Joao I's back like I suggested, look's great! How does it work in game with graphics?

Um, I don't know how to answer this... It works really well. I'm pleased. He uses Shaka's animations. Is this what you wanted to know?
I am working on yet another LH now. It is not something nobody has made before, but I'm not pleased with the way it was done so far. I'm not going to tell you who he is now, because I want to see I can actually make him first. I will just say that I wanted to make him on Frontenac's base because I hoped for new animaions. I didn't notice so far that Frontenac uses Charlemagne's animation, so when I saw we won't be getting anything new I decided to get the LH who looks the most like the guy I want to make. Asoka is very close to what I want to make, so he will be the base. I know Asoka can work with Elizabeth's animations, but I didn't try it yet. If anybody tried it and wants to tell me if this is true please share the information because Asoka's animations don't suit my new LH.

i used frontenac for my fremont.
theere is a lH animation annex for LH compatibility. its in the tutorial thread - refar and I made it IIRC
your other option is to just nifswap your asoka based LH on to elizabeth. if there is a bone error in nifskope renmae that bone to some that there is (by clicking the skininstances in nifskope). it may look distorted when you do this so import into blender and modify. then export when done and nifswap again onto elizabeth.

Wow, Joao looks very nice.
I have this guide, and that's how I know Asoka works with Elizabeth. But after a few hours of working on this LH I decided to go the easy way, as always (since I don't have the time nor the patience), so the LH will be based on Stuyvesant instead. I'll try to make it as unique as possible, but I don't promise anything.
OK, I guess I lost the will to make LHs completely! The LH I wanted to make is cancelled (it was supposed to be Johan de Witt). I am not going to make any more leaderheads with the exception of working on Tamerlane with The Capo.
It doesn't mean I'm done with LHs, though. I still want to try and add shaders to Ekmek's and The Capo's old LHs. Hopefully, I will have some updates soon!

Why?
I just don't feel like I want to do any more LHs. I made everything I wanted and other people are doing other LHs I want, so I don't feel that I have anything else to do. I am also very impatient while making LHs. I just don't want to make more LHs. Actually, the reason I decided to try and make LHs was because I wanted to make LH nobody was going to make. It was more of a necessity and not something fun to do in my spare time. I believe I already mentioned it a few times- I just don't enjoy making LHs.

Adding the shaders improves the older LHs greatly, so it is as important as making new ones IMO. Keep up the good work with that
On the new LHs: I may not remember correctly, but didn't u plan to make a new Vercingetorix with pencilgod? And maybe a new Casimir with Capo, based on cfkane's Lear. Those projects are off too, along with the totally new LHs?

Pencilgod had a better vision of Vercingetorix, so he might surprise us in a week or two. Casimir can be found somewhere in the Diplomacy thread. I don't know if The Capo wants to do anything else on Casimir. I am not planning anything new as I am pretty much satisfied with it. So far we didn't do anything except for reskinning Lear with Polish clothes. Try to look for it in the attachments of the Diplomacy thread. The only LH I am planning to release is going to be Tamerlane, but it will happen only when The Capo is free to help me with him.

Here's a little update of what I have been working on for Tamerlane. I retextured his face and then I made this for his helmet. What do you guys think?
I wanted to say it still looks like Saladin, but then I remembered we based him on Hannibal!
Does that mean you found the Tamerlane files on your computer?
The Capo
godless Heathen
Yeah I found everything. So you don't like the helmet?
The helmet looks cool. What I meant to say is that you made Hannibal's face look like Saladin's, so it looks as if we based Tamerlane on Saladin. Oh, and you know what interests me now- how do we add shaders? I don't remember if I used the regular or nonshader nifs...
The Capo
godless Heathen
I don't know how to do that. I use the Nonshader nifs and I'm redesigning his clothes just a little bit so I'll use them when I do that. I think this is going to come out really good.

just like how you've been adding shaders. just remember where the sources came from. That beard could use an alpha channel too.
Sweet. I don't think it's a problem that he looks sort of like Saladin. He's based on a different model, so if you put them side-by-side, I don't think they'd get confused. If nothing else, the animations should differentiate them pretty significantly. The new helmet looks great, by the way.

Very nice. Looks good. The face looks nice and Mongolian/Turkic too
Thanks a lot, what I'm doing now is trying to edit the attire that Igor made him with to look a bit more Turkic/Mongolian too, which was what I had in mind when I retextured him and added the helmet, so I'm glad you like the way the texture looks. He'll look a lot better with the body, which is going to be a combination of what Igor created the first time around and, well I'm not quite sure how to put this, "Gengis Khan with money." You'll see, I think everyone will like it. I think he just needs a good BG at this point and it should be ready for release in the next couple of days.
