Real Great People (UI) 5.0.1

@su_nobody Those .dds files are in wrong format. They are 160x160 but encoding is messed up. The correct .dds file should be always 102528 bytes (101kB), yours are 26 kB.
Also, if you want to work on the icons - those circles you cut are too small.

Yes, but not between a circle and a square, but a little above head. Picture is 160x160 and circle that cuts the GP's head is exactly 160 in diameter (80 radius).
Are you going to do some icons for RGP of for youself? For RGP there are only Scientists, Merchants and Admirals missing.

I just did one for Albert Einstein, my first try at anything like this.

 

[Infixo]

@Gabrielino77 Pretty well done Just so you can see for yourself:

Do you wanna prepare more scientists? Some of them will be challenging since there are no good source pics for some of them.

 

[natchuy]

Just did one of the Merchants (Goddard), how does it look?

 

[Infixo]

@nutchuy First try and it's a great icon! More, pls

 

[Gabrielino77]

@Infixo I may try, i still have school and i play soccer, so i will see how many i can do.

 

[Infixo]

@Gabrielino77 Just let me know if you will work on them, so I can mark them as being created and other people will not do double work.

 

[natchuy]

@Infixo Great! I'm gonna work on the rest of the merchants today

 

[Gabrielino77]

So i just finished the Rennaissance Scientists, yes, you can put me down as working on them, they are pretty easy for me.

 

[Infixo]

@Gabrielino77 Great Rennaissance ones are ok, so we have 5 in total (Sagan is done).

Here's most of the merchants! Hope they work!

I'm unsure of some of them, though:

• I used @CivLuvah 's painting of Italian bankers for Piero de' Bardi
• Colaeus picture is actually Sostratos, the other merchant mentioned by Herodotus (thanks, Civilopedia!), but I'm unsure if it works
• I'm still missing Rajah Todar Mal (haven't found a decent image) and John Spilsbury (also haven't found an image, turns out it's actually someone called William Kiffin). Maybe we'll have to use pictures of someone else, but I don't know whose

 

[CivLuvah]

I used @CivLuvah 's painting of Italian bankers for Piero de' Bardi

Just use one of them. It'll take up space/look awkward if you include them both haha

• Colaeus picture is actually Sostratos, the other merchant mentioned by Herodotus (thanks, Civilopedia!), but I'm unsure if it works

• I'm still missing Rajah Todar Mal (haven't found a decent image) and John Spilsbury (also haven't found an image, turns out it's actually someone called William Kiffin). Maybe we'll have to use pictures of someone else, but I don't know whose

Interesting... I knew this just now..
I really can't find any actual pictures of John Spilsbury. So far all the photos I have searched so far which are attributed to him are some generic Englishman in 17th century clerical garb... which on the looks of it is pretty inaccurate considering that Spilsbury lived in the 18th century.

 

[Infixo]

natchuy Great work, only a few left to do.

• Colaeus - I'm lost a little, pls confirm that that the picture you sent is actually the sculpture of him?
  
• Piero de Bardi - ok, it's XIV cent. they all looked the same, anyway
• Rajah - use this one: http://www.speakingtree.in//files/blogfiles/images/920010/Akbar_2.jpg
  
• Tata - they have him on the stamp: https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/...qC4GaqpsaExTLDY9AniQWomFQpwxFzYPAsnhhyWWf462g, so pls. use this picture instead: http://www.c4learn.com/current-affairs/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Jamsetji-Tata.jpg
• Spilsbury - wow, the first one that we can't find any picture actually; so maybe such a generic: http://www.stgitehistory.org.uk/library/paine.jpg

So, in summary: Colaeus to confirm and 3 to do: Rajah, Spilsbury, Tata.

 

[natchuy]

Thanks for the feedback! Here are Spilsbury, Rajah and the corrected Tata
About Colaeus, I re-checked and the sculpture is actually some random dude, sorry I can always do another that fits better

 

[Infixo]

So, there's no good depiction of Colaeus, neither?

 

[natchuy]

No, none at all

 

[Infixo]

Ok, so let's take a nice Greek then: http://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/317638/slide_317638_2926285_free.jpg
