Melcher's Leaderheads

[AbsintheRed]

Great LH! IMO, he looks more like how I imagine the crusader kings to look like though, but still, great LH!

Umm, that's probably because he was a crusader king
He even died during the 3rd crusade IIRC

Great!
As he attended in two crusades that's exactly how i wanted to make him.

Edit:
Sneaky Absinthe!

 

[Leoreth]

Fantastic! Extra bonus points for it being a European medieval LH

Yup, so hope you don't mind me using him for Kingdom of Jerusalem or something like that. Might be because I did see a Baldwin I LH that share'd some few similarities though, maybe that's why. Anyway... maybe a new civ coming up then ^^

Friedrich I. Barbarossa is now ready.
It's quite late here, so i have skipped more screenshots.
Hope you don't mind.

Enjoy!

I think this is quite possibly the best leaderhead I have ever seen.

Great! Always love a new Melcher leaderhead

 

[AbsintheRed]

Without all your nice comments and support i would have probably stopped a long time ago.

Keep it up with nice comments like this, we must keep Melcher enthusiastic

 

[melcher kürzer]

Don't worry! More is coming. Sooner rather then later.

 

[Leoreth]

I'm already very excited!

 

[Jabarto]

I'm going to add a nice comment anyway.

First let me point out that I am the fussiest jerk in the world when it comes to leaderheads. Whenever I look for them in the download center, I end up leafing through every single page trying to find one that won't look completely out of place with the ones already in the game. There are a few people who consistently make good leaderheads, but yours are the only ones that I can honestly say surpass the stock ones. And when I opened this thread earlier and saw your new Barbarossa leaderhead, I actually said to myself, "I gotta get this into my mod somehow".* I'm not even kidding.

*Obviously I could just add him as another Holy Roman leader, but I imagine he could stand in for many other medieval leaders as well. Time to get creative!

Hehe Thanks!
I always try to make some progress. But slowly hit the brick wall. The game engine is quite old and limited. My lack of animation skill doesn't help either.

Probably my last Leaderhead. At least for normal non fictional Civ4.

As always, enjoy and have fun!

 

[AbsintheRed]

Hmm, another Isabella?
I already liked the previous one too
This is probably even better - especially technically
But I'm really curios:
Why did you choose to make another version of her?

 

[AbsintheRed]

Just read your comments on the dl page

It was quite a lot of work. Spent more time as on every other Leaderhead.

Everybody , he is a maniac!!!
Seriously, do you know exactly how many hours did you spend on her?
100 hours? 200? Even more?

Sadly it's likley this will be my last Leaderhead for a while.

((
That's really bad news.
Hope you will find the motivation to continue a little later
Many of your leaders are among the very best ones created for Civ IV (Firaxis LHs included)

EDIT: Just counted your LHs, there are 13
It would be very unfortunate to stop here

It's how i wanted to make her in the first place but wasn't able to. And honestly i couldn't see a diffrence between my (old) version and the Firaxis one anymore.
You already know i love to make (unnecessary) Leaderheads without purpose.

 

[Civciv5]

I don't know what to say...
This is certainly the most beautiful and realistic LH that I have seen!

Are you really going to stop forever?
That would be a loss of talent for CivFanatics...
Your LHs are so realistic and awesome,you are probably the best of all LH makers.
I hope you will continue to make these wonderful works.

 

[AbsintheRed]

I just love how you can really see through her veil
And the cross she holds. And her clothes overally, especially together with the anims
The background is also great with the candles

Not my fault. We germans are crazy.
No but seriously maybe 50 hours. I didn't mean in comparison to all. Just the most time on one single one.

Nothing in stone. Need some time to reconsider. My work for TAC is almost finished, have done all Leaderheads i wanted. I have some plans but we will see.

Maybe i should delete the old Isabella version then?

Thank you very much!

 

[Triver]

Great LH. ^)

 

[Leoreth]

I'm without words!

(But also quite sad that this will be the last of your LHs ).
