Leaderhead Requests

I'd like to request a new Kublai Khan leaderhead (or Qin Shi Huang) with white hair, Mansa Musa crown, thicker moustache (maybe Charlemagne or Bismarck's?) and recolored robe. Going from blue and red to black and gold.

I saw a painting like that in my history book but couldn't find the picture online. I thought it might make him look more like a great warleader or an emperor rather than a fat nomad with a calotte.
Anyway, I found these pictures. They look good enough to give an idea what I think his face should look like.

The thing I like about the second picture is his beard, it looks less solid than the one he currently has... otherwise, the first picture should be the main guide line here.
Thanks in advance in case anyone does it.
 
Some suggestions of leaderheads I'd like to see....

1.) Would be nice to re-work the Chiang Kai-Shek leaderhead from RTW; his head looks a little bit too obviously a copy of Wang Kong, the tunic looks more like a blue sweater, and the hat is a bit gaudier than anything I recall him wearing (see Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiang_Kai-shek)

2.) Indira Gandhi

3.) Paul Kruger

4.) Ian Smith

5.) Would be nice to see a Ho Chi Minh leaderhead that presents him as he looked later in life.

6.) John Ross

7.) Hussein bin Ali

8.) Ramon Magsaysay

9.) Salazar

Yeah, that's it. Just those nine. :D

EDIT: Hmm. In retrospect, that's quite a rogue's gallery I've assembled here. I guess well-behaved leaders just don't make it in Civ....
 
That's a good question (I assume you mean: which pre-existing leaders should be used as a starting point).

I think for Ho and Chiang, it's just a matter of cleaning up (re-skinning) the already-existing examples, if the original designers are cool with that.

Indira could probably get away with a re-skin of Isabella.

Kruger might be something like the head of Lincoln on body of Churchill. Except with a top hat, if one could be fashioned.

Magsaysay vaguely reminds me of the "New Earth" leader from Final Frontier....

I'll think over the rest....


EDIT: Ian Smith will probably do well using the basic body structure of FDR....ditto Salazar.

:goodjob:

I post a request for another female challenging LH masterpiece:
Teuta, Queen of Illyria (230 BC)

The challenge is doing she using Elizabeth face/model, with Boudica or Isabella decolte body and ancient female dresses (see image above)

Althought I'm asking for TAM mod, she might be also used into Civ Gold 4.0 and "Ancient Illyria and Ethnic Albania" mods, replacing the existing modern Elizabeth.

Anyone pick up the challenge? :)

There already is a Teuta LH somewhere on the forums, Garret made it.

Yes, he did, but she was a Izzy replica.
I'm asking for a ancient greco-roman Elizabeth LH.
I've never seen it on civforum yet. This is the challenge. ;)
 
For some reason he reminds me of a pope, must be all the white clothing, I like the leaderhead though ;)
