More Static Leaderheads

[PCHighway]

Well, here they are, I would like to bring up the fact that most of the preview are just the base image I used for the leaderhead, none of them are exactly what you will get and that is a good thing, as I had to resize the and in some cases take away the writing. I will try and make this brief, most SLH files have more than one version in them i.e you get to choose from different pictures. And I point out how many they have. I would like thank Calgacus for many of the images

And if Clam I am, is reading this, no I haven’t gave up on it, and plan on doing the Leaderheads also, I am working on the one you gave me, but need the others if you want them, no rush, just letting you know its still being done.

Apparently I have to many images for one post, so this will now be divided into multiple posts
.
Brian Boru, two leaderheads, I am working on a third SLH of him.
Download Brian Boru

Tamerlane, I have three done, but one suffered from transparency problems, so only two are here. The second pic had to be reduced in size to make it CFC friendly, to give you an idea it went from 41kb to 9kb that is the preview, has no effect on the actual Leaderhead.

I originally planned on making all the Age of Mythology gods, but more than half suffered from that damn transparency problem, so we only have these so far:
Ra
Zeus
Poseidon(2)
Loki(2)
Thor(2)
Odin
Hades

Any suggestions are welcome, I have had some problems with transparency if you can tell, and am trying to fix the following images for SLH:
Brian Boru
Isis
Loki
Odin Modern
Seth
Pope Urban the II
William the Conqueror
Baldwin, I have no idea who he is or where I found him.
Heny II
Ivan the terrible(2)
Mindaugas (2)
Saladin the Great
Tamerlane
Jesus Christ
Epaminondas

I will probably move requests to the top (assuming there won’t be many ).

If anyone notices broken links or files not containing what they are supposed to, notify me immediately, other than that they all have been tested in game.

I think Baldwin was given you by me. He'd be a great king of Jerusalem.


GREAT JOB BTW

 

[Pangur Bán]

PCHighway, are you still going to do Mindaugas the Great?

[PCHighway]

I plan on releasing the ones I didn't finsih in about a week (around the weekend). I haven't forgotten the Mindaugas ones. I have been fairly busy recently. But you have to admit, there seems to be less (virtually none) of a demand for static leaderheads.

EDIT, pushed it back to after finals, sorry for the delay

thanks for the Ra leaderhead from Pharaoh are you doing the rest or should i try

 

[PCHighway]

As far as I know thats the only one I got from Pharaoh, unless your talking about all the other (to do) images? I wouldn't mind doing them, I know I have been stalling however, So I will buckle down to it and do it today. The problem with the ones left are they have major transparency problems, meaning I have to find different, better images of the same picture.

Have you ever done static FLC's before? Do you have a program?

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

no I'm looking at the moment. I meant the other images from Pharaoh which are Osiris, Bast, Seth and Ptah. If you have a program can you e-mail it to me.

 

[PCHighway]

I'd love to, but there is no need. Links are so much more efficient . You will need a .pcx editing tool, which judging by your other work you do, so we are cool there. Now, this tool is called the 'FMP121' program, it is freeware, as long as you don't use it commercially. I found it at a site called the Converters Paradise, if you have any problems with transparency, remember you have to put it in a indexed colored mode before converting to FLC's. The tool is incredibly easy to use.

Scroll down to the 'F' category, then look for fmp141.zip
Or use the 'find command (ctr+f)

FMP

I use Adobe Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition as a PCX editing tool I just have to become better at using it. thanks for the flc tool

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

i've done 2 leaderheads one is Bast and one is me i'll only be posting the Bast one but after i've done the rest of the Pharaoh ones

 

[PCHighway]

Tell me about it, photoshop is a complicated tool, took forever for me to get used to it as I am now, and I'm sure I have much more to learn. Using (6.0) here. For those still interested, I have completed the SLH, this should be all of them, with he exception of Jesus Christ. Just couldn’t make up my mind what type of picture I wanted for him, if Calgacus or someone could get an ideal picture, well, that would be good . I will post the Static leaderheads in the next couple of posts.

Thanks to Calgacus for nearly all of these ! And sorry for the 3 month long delay .

Mindaugas the Great
Ideal Lithuanian Leader.

Brian Boru
Third and last installment, of a more ‘modern’ Brian Boru.

Baldwin
A leader of Jerusalem I am told. Not the best picture, as it got a little ‘foggy’.

Henry the Second
Of England, Duke of Normandy and son of Matilda.

Epaminondas
The dying one in the blue cover, great general of Thebes, who defeated the Spartans. Developed a tactic of putting a ‘emphasis’ on the left of the phalanx.

 

[PCHighway]

Cortez
Thats the one.

JRR Tolkien
Great literary Inkling.

Ivan the terrible
Leader of Russia, killed his son.

Not sure about this guy, but I threw him in there.

Isis
Ancient god of the Egyptians, meant for the AoM pack.

Seth
Can’t find a pic, looks sort of like a antelope headed guy in Egyptian dress.

[EDIT- See post 21 for a re-done version]


Odin
Doesn’t have any distinction for who he really is, for all I know it might be a comic book guy.
Actually it looks like it came from a game, no idea what one.

Saladin
No it doesn’t look like a book cover.

 

[PCHighway]

Tamerlane
Looks like a mosaic or a wall painting of him.

William the Conqueror
Two SLH of him, the Norman who took claimed England.

Pope Urban the II
Not really admirable, but he did start the Crusades, first, second, or third, I can’t be sure.

If anyone is not getting the right stuff in the file LET ME KNOW Same with a switched link.

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

just for your information that is Seth a little short and fat but thats him

 

[mrtn]

That pic of Odin (which I suppose should be the old nordic god) is one of the worst pics I've seen of him. Assuming it isn't that game you want to make a SLH for, I'd say: don't bother. You might want to try this one instead. It at least has all the facts right: an old man with only one eye.

 

[PCHighway]

Check the 'various gods' download for that leaderhead of Odin. Good point Sa~Craig, I probably should re-do him. I did him waaay back (with the other gods), but just fixed the transparency problem now.

If you see anymore leaderheads that look squished you would be doing me a favor to let me know, I had to work in volume here! It was crazy, at one point I had 55 files on my Desktop, all the folder, .pcx files, .jpg's and FLC's.
