[LH] Pol Pot

[isau]

Refar, he's wonderful!

I agree with some of the the others that the best ways you could improve him is to possibly adjust the chin. The hair is also a bit blue-black, you might (or might not) be able to improve this by changing the highlight to a browner undertone. It also looks like during his regime Pot gradually went gray (he died at 70-something), so frosting the edges of his hair might help add some variation.

Looking at pictures of Pot from other angles, it's also apparant that he had a very small, round, ugly little head, almost like a fish. His ears look small-ish and they poked out a bit and his teeth look like they might have jutted out akwardly. Here are some sample pics:

Anyone think the model looks a bit like steven segal?

 

[Wolfshanze]

I think it looks great other then the Romulan eyebrows... they need to be rounded just a tad.

Anyone think the model looks a bit like steven segal?

yes!! i thought the same before reading the thread

Refar- i think its awesome and will be golden. Like Wolfshanze said about eyebrows, and also i think upper lip s/b fuller (even though idk how to make LHs)

Eyebrows make it Steven Segal-ish. Segal could be the leader for USA or maybe Eskimos civ like from that one movie j/k

 

[Refar]

He's finished now.


More pictures and the Download Link are in the first post of the thread.

I did not find a picture i had in mind for the Background, so i just used a generig jungle-ruins I will update if i shall find something better in the future.

Sorry, took me a bit longer than i thought (Made some detour into buildings-making )

They should do a massive Communist leaders modpack w/ Ho (maybe for China??? or Khmers???) and Pol Pot and Castro (maybe for Native America or America????? or Spain?????) etc.

Obama has already been done, so you can throw him in there too!

And the epic American politics flame thread overflows once more. Fun stuff.

About Pol Pot though, it looks pretty good. I can hardly recognize the base. The texturing is also pretty nice, though the shirt could possibly use a little work, and the area where the neck meets the collar is a little sketchy.

Without discarding the Pol Pot leaderhead, I would also like to point out that (with the exception of the ears), he looks an awful lot like Hugo Chavez, so I could see this being tweaked and reused there for yet another Commie leader.

Hehe... couldn't help myself!... but Obama is the leading candidate of the American Democratic Socialist Workers Party

 

[Refar]

Yea, there is a bit of stretching on the texture on the collar.
When i do a update for BG, i might give the stretching issues another go, for now i was too fed up with it, so i decided to release, rather than mothballing him for another two weeks

As to Chavez - if someone want to retexture him (or just use him for another leader) i am fine with that. I myself will most probably not do it.

Let me get a chance just this time

The Encyclopedia Brittanica lists the Democratic Party as a moderate party and according to The Political Compass, all of the Democratic candidates are on the right. If you listen to Obama's rhetoric, it seems conservative. Rather than having a choice between Democratic Party A and Democratic Party B, as some pundits have suggested, it seems we have a choice between Republican Party A and Republican Party B.

Well it just goes to show that's why Europeans don't understand American politics... Obama is widely regarded as the most left-wing (in America we call that "liberal") Senator in Congress.

I doubt many American Democrats will take kindly to Europeans calling Obama "like choosing a Republican" either.

I think Garret would even agree with me on this one.

Sorry... but you really don't know what you're talking about on this one... it's why Europeans shouldn't be trying to tell Americans what American beliefs are when they live about 4,000 miles away and don't experience American politics like we do every day.

And vice versa, one would think... but no, US opinon is spread worldwide. Thx for explaining the double standard. The American eagle doesn't have a "left wing"; if you could take one step outside of your native country, you'd see how the rest of the world views your native politics. And we do read papers and we do read books. You should try that once - might educate ya.

BTW: Obama = a commie, Obama = fascist => Wolfie = a poticical nutter. Keep you politico-rantings on the Obama thread please.

Stalin's mannerisms would just be perfect for Chavez.

I'm an American

 

[Wolfshanze]

And vice versa, one would think...

When do you ever hear me say who the Europeans should vote for, or which leaning a candidate is or has in Europe?

No... I leave European politics for the Europeans.

You think America meddles? Don't get me started on Europeans always trying to dictate US policy and politics. If the shoe fits, wear it.

it's really interesting how these threads lead to these topics
