If the leaderheads aren't done yet, can we at least expect to see a still portrait version soon?

To be honest, I forgot whether this was for Warlords or BtS. 
The original one was for Warlords, but I can't remember if I updated it or not.
I didn't know that it was all that popular or else I would've taken greater pains to hammer through more leaders. I'm still waiting for somebody to do Jefferson and Reagan - probably the two most-requested American leaders to date - but they've not been completed.

You aren't the only one.
The trouble is that most of our leaderhead artists are fervent liberals or non-Americans and couldn't care less about this project. Still, it would be fun to set Reagan, Thatcher, and Gorbachev against each other in a WWIII-type scenario, so hopefully somebody'll pick that up.

I tried Reagan. Its really hard to make a guy who's face is well known into a leaderhead. The other more historic leaders are not as visualized as easily so we get away with cartoonish features, though I get flak for my Cleopatra! And look at my sig...I'm not a liberal

Yeah, you're one of the guys who voted for Bush because he's got 'morals' and 'talks to god'.
Yeah, I'm just sick with the flu with a fever of 103.5, sorry I didn't get around to it. Maybe you should do it yourself if you don't want my "anti-American" help. Just out of curiosity, have your ancestors been here since 1639? Oh yeah, YOU GUYS were the ones who left the Union. I don't care if you're 'joking' GO, it still pisses me off. Have fun spending 10 hours a day for a week on this.

After i finish some other stuff I'll give Reagan another shot.

Not all non-liberals are christians, y'know. Personally, I'm a gay atheist with conservative economic beliefs and center-left social beliefs, hence my own liking of Reagan.
The liberal media just tries to portray all non-socialists as being bigotive backwoods fundamentalist protestant Christians.
Also, I don't consider Bush to be a conservative. Rather, he's a neoconservative, a political group that gained popularity after WW2 due to Jewish immigrants who fled from Europe, hence why there's such an emphasis on interventionism (prevent another Nazi Empire from happening.)

This must be that encouragement of "diversity" on the left that I've heard so much about.
Sorry about the 'flu....but don't take it out on my man Ekmek!
EDIT: Ah, yes, found what I was looking for. Your tale of "ancestors" and "1639" reminded me of it. Enjoy!
Apologies for dallying off-topic.

I know not all Christians are Conservative nut jobs, I'm Christian. (or was depending on how you look at it)
I wasn't taking anything out on Ek, he's an older buddy of mine than yours.
GO is giving work he's been harassing me about to do and when I start to do it he gets someone else and insults me. Then he tells me I'm brilliant and compliments all the nice 'details' of my work and says 'that's what we need more of...(insert detail here)' then the next day he says 'well fine then, you can continue to make large detailed textures and mamba can go ahead and resize them (and make them all blurry) for us' and tells me off. And the best part is, he doesn't know how to do any of it. I can't win with this guy. I'm taking it all out on him.
...
Get someone else to do the leaders GO *nudges Ek*. I've got too much on my plate already.

but more seriously, you don't have to, apparently your just obligated to. You can take your time with any units your working on for me.... matter of fact, I found a bunch of decent units that will work for now, so its no rush at all.
I might try my hand at editing LH's and/or units also. Buttons and flags are easy enough, I have all the software to do it.
Nice job here guys

Trying to do reagan is getting frustrating. First no pictures on the net have even lighting or a square on face shot. Second its tough to do a picture mapping to a leaderhead. This is as close as I have gotten (I still have the neck and hair to reskin) but was wondering if this is anything close to what would make people happy.

I never voted for Bush. What is this crap about leaving the Union? I never left the Union, and my ancestors fought on the side of the Union in the Civil War. Please, stop acting like you're being intelligent in saying that, because you're just making a fool out of yourself. All I said was that many of the great artists here (that includes you) are liberals, and that is a factual statement. Look at the Obama thread.
You don't like Reagan, fine, but by saying so you are simply proving my point. And by engaging in personal attacks you are hurting your case. I don't care if you are -ahem- just "joking."
Your other post makes it clear that you intend to "take it all out on me." Well, I will say this nicely: if you don't like my requests then you are free to ignore them. You don't have to do Reagan, and in fact I would probably feel better if you didn't because based on your intense rhetoric you'd probably make it look bad deliberately. Personally I think your units are better than your leaderheads anyway, because they get a lot more use in the long run, so you should concentrate on that.Now, I think Ekmek has done a good start, though it needs to be adjusted. What I would suggest is to use a real picture, like they did with the Ahmadinejad leaderhead. Bernie made the texture partly with photographs.
