Robert the Bruce animated leaderhead

[Wheel Gator]

May I ask, Sween, what programs you are using, and if they are free? I also must say that you are quite good at creating Leaderheads (This based on the previews I have seen), and if you wanted me to help you with anything, I would be honored.

These new pics are REALLY good. When can we expect the finished set?

 

[sween32]

All of the actual animated leaderhead's are done, they just have to be converted to flic. For that, I need to get Jasc Animation Shop. I was able to borrow some money from my father in Boston and it will be sent to him before he sends it to me. As far as I know, he still hasn't gotten it. So, until then, I'm going to work on the PCX's and start some previews of other leaders. Then, I'm going to have a poll for which one I should complete first.

Hi Sween32, I decided to check out Robert the Bruce after you mentioned in the woad raider thread that you and thomspon_2001 were working on a scottish civ.

I really am much more intelligent than this may seem, but all I can say atm is wow.

This is very good work. I can't wait to add the Scots to my game.

Thompson_2001: I really like your unit too. It amazes me how much patience you guys have to do all this work. Whatever you do, don't give up!

Thanks! But you ain't seen nothing yet.

Here's Mustafa Kemal Atatürk of Turkey. I still need to work on the hair before I go any further. He's very difficult to make. I have never seen anybody look so different in every single picture that exsists of him.

 

[kemal69]

That picture makes me feel so small!

It gives me the undeniable impression he's leaning over and looking down at me.

Reminds me of a few lectures from the ol' school principal which I won't go into.

Good job.

Scary, huh? Now you know how it feels to be me all the time, the 5'3'' midget that I am.

Here's the new Modern Times. The Scottish uniform one will become Industrial Age, I'm just looking for a better background for that one. Hopefully one with a Scottish ceremony with bagpipes.

 

[Vdog]

My God Thats nice i like that background fine! when will u release the final download?

 

[dannyevilcat]

Yes, that one is much better. So, where are all your previews of Fidel?

 

[sween32]

I won't make Fidel until I find Guerilla clothes for Poser... unless somebody finds them first *hint hint to ever1 who wants fidel*

For the picture in my avatar, I used Poser to make his face and add a beard, but I had to hand-make the hat and make the beard white in Photoshop.

I don't know when Robert will be released. Still waiting to recieve Jasc in the mail.

 

[sween32]

Here's the new Industrial age. That is the Ministry building. If anybody finds a background they see more-fit then let me know.

 

[thomson_2001]

love the new flcs sween. The modern on industrial backgrounds are great! Ive just finished the SW attack animation and heres a preview:-

 

[sween32]

Looks VERY good! I could never put that much patience into anything. You are now my unit-creating hero

After finishing the Scottish UU, how would you feel about making a real historical Incan UU? After PtW comes out, you will be able to add 7 civs, so Ghengis and I are trying to make leaderheads for civs that deserve to be in the game that are not. With that, we also need UU's. Some are already made, like the Franks' Throwing Axeman, and the Ethiopian Sarwe.

 

[thomson_2001]

Thanks for the great compliment Sween.
I may make an authentic looking Incan unit at a later date but it can get a bit tedious doing unit after unit. The SW attack FLC took a good few days as I only get a few hours to spend on it (working loads at the mo to get some money for university and am spending time with my Girlfriend b4 she takes a gap year in Malaysia )
Ill keep plugging away at the unit though.Not much progress today as am VERY hungover (cant even remember half of last night!). Got great exam results yesterday so me and loadsa mates went out to some bars then home to a friend's house - I think!Im just about recovering now.lol

When will the leaderhead be finished Sween?

 

[thomson_2001]

oops, just noticed you had said you were waiting for JASC above!

 

[sween32]

wait... you're just now taking driving lessons and you're already drinking... is this drinking LEGAL? and if it is, how old do you have to be to drink in scotland? how old do you have to be to drive? i hope you're not combining the two at once

 

[LordMacKinnon]

should have a scots country my people are MacKinnons we saved charles he gave us the recipe for Drambie

 

[thomson_2001]

dont panic sween.In the UK you can drive legaly from the age of 17 (as long as you can pass) and you can drink from the age of 18. Im almost 19 and put off driving lessons for a while due to concentrating on getting the grades i need to go the Edinburgh University next year.
Oh and im a bad enough driver without alcohol in my system.lol

 

[sween32]

yeah, i didn't get my liscence until I was 18 (the age here is 16 1/2) so I could consintrate on highschool. the reason is i couldn't get a job to pay for gas because it would distract me even more then my ADHD was distracting me already. i had it pretty bad, and ritilin just put me to sleep, so i had to try and consintrate without any drugs. do you have any idea how much it sucks to try and consintrate on something but it's just not going to the brain? but that's alright. ADHD sufferers may suck at some things, but exceed far beyond the normal person in in their specialties

well, now that you know the story of my life...

i was looking up some pictures of scotland and i noticed there's a castle named Sween. I didn't even know this! I just took my name from my favorite Boston Bruins player! do you know anything about that castle? After I saw that, I looked up my real name, Casco (originally Cosco, but you know how they mess up names when people immagrate), and I found a whole bunch of Spanish helmets... and I'm Italian...
