My problem was i had not recovered my resources after playing PTW:mad: so I rebooted and ran defrag:rolleyes:
But.........when I went back to try and get it I got this...

"The Angelfire site you are trying to reach has been temporarily suspended due to excessive bandwidth consumption. "
 
yeah, I have major bandwidth problems. I could upload them here to civfanatics and you could download them in several smaller parts. Yeah, give me a few minutes and we will do that.
 
How bout some smaller lips and what do you think about this for the background?

Also are you planning on adding in the Crown and Cloak? I hope so. I think that would be good for the ancient age and the third image with the Turban, et. al would be good for the middle ages.

I like the background and will make the lips smaller. This one will go how you want it as you are the one who asked for it.

After I get the face to where I am happy with it I will add crowns/clothes etc...

Thanks all for the feedback
 
Damn, Chimto - that's pretty dern speedy!

Why smaller lips (other than the suggestion)? Judging by the picture Kal-el sent, the lip size looked about right, although the mouth (width) might need to be a little smaller.

BTW, good choice for your next project. West Africa is definitely under represented on the map, in PTW.

I did mean lip width. :)
 
Heh. You can tell Kal-el and I really want this project completed.

... and aren't watched very closely at work. :-)

But could you also try and reduce the deer in the headlights look frm his eyes?

In my opinion, he looks great as he is. Well, yes, Mansa Mussa could be wearing some clothes. But, maybe he's hot? ;) I think the "deer-in-the-headlights" look makes Mansa Mussa look more cartoon-like or caricature-like . . . similar to the Firaxis CivIII leaderheads. I don't like the leaderheads that are too realistic. In my opinion, they don't fit into the overall graphic scheme of the game well enough.

Great work on Mansa Mussa so far! Keep it up.
 
I will try and keep the direction to a minimum unless you really want it. But could you also try and reduce the deer in the headlights look frm his eyes?

Actually, I think that with the animation that deer in the headlight look will go away, and keep the suggestions coming. Although I am doing the "work" (wich is more fun than work) you guys who are going to use these leaderheads are the ones who know what you want. Keep it coming.
 
I'm curious, which program are you using to create these leaderheads? If you're using Poser, I can give you a few pointers on making him look a bit more realistic ^_^
 
I like the way his eyes are. The only feature I would change would be his ear. It looks a little too flat against his head or maybe it's just a little small, I can't quite tell.
