Sword of Geddon's Leaderhead Preview Thread!

[Sandris]

A lot better, but still he looks like a teenager.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thats the idea lol... Tut was a teenager when he briefly ruled Egypt. But he did do alot of things when he was in charge.

 

[Sandris]

This means that all important things in Egypt at that time were not made by Tut, but by his ministers/priests.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Actually close...they didn't rule Egypt for him but rather threw him, as he based most of his decisions on what his advisors told him. If he had lived just a few years longer he might have gotten more experienced and done more things on his own. But thats debatable and I don't know to much on the subject, I just thought I'd make this leaderhead lol.

 

[TopGun]

He was barely 18 when he died. I doubt he had alot of influence on policy.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Civ has alot of leaders though that are symbolic like Tut, Joan of Arc from vanilla is one. Suriyothai, also fan made is another. I don't see a problem with it. It just gives people more choices, choices are good.

 

[Balthasar]

Don't forget that the term "teenager" was only coined in the 20th century (H.L. Menken predicted, some say accurately, that the invention of the word would be bad for civilization). In Anne Rice's "Interview with a Vampire" Louis describes how he, as a teenager had all of the responsibility of an adult. Alexander Hamilton ran his own export business at 13. For Tut to have had great authority, even at his young age, is not unimaginable at all. As a matter of fact, it would be historically accurate for many of the historic leaders depicted here to be much younger in appearance.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Modern eyes have an anti-age thing against old people(they can't possibily be taken seriously ) or young people, but todays young people have the luxury of being able to be less mature than previous generations, maybe thats why nobody would ever hand them any position of authority..

SOG... TUT is Looking Very Good
The Metal Band of the Head Cloth could be lowered another ½ inch so the Metal area around his ears fits closer but I am probably being too particular

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I'm glad you like it my friend. Its a balancing act with the headress and the vest, made easier when I removed the lower part of the headress, but still if I moved it lower it might disrupt that balance, but I'll take a look...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Another preview of someone I may make. A Hawaiian King:

 

[Vuldacon]

The Hawaiian King Looks Good and that is a Sharp Background.
I recommend Removing the Dark Outline around the Face and Head because it appears as a mask rather than a painted face...or is that suppose to be a string from the "Feathers"? Not sure about the translucent "Feathers", they would look better without any transparency.

 

[RedAlert]

Fantastic!
I think you found your true calling, Sword!

I especially like King Tut and the Hawaiian king. I also like the change you made to the Cahokian fellow, though I do have one criticism: I think his body now looks a little to young for his face (although I suppose he could just be fit ).

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thankyou Redalert. I never was too good at Unit making..

I changed the Illinois/Cahokia leader again btw I'll post a preview soon.

 

[Balthasar]

Good composition on the Hawaiian King.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I'm glad everyone likes King Kamahamaha's second era(The Hawaiian King). His face is actually covered by a mask. It won't be present in eras 1, 3 or 4.

BTW heres the preview for the Cahokia/Illiwek leader I promised:

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

I'm pleased to see that you seem to be using the texture set I suggested; try to use the non-shiny version though! This new guy looks okay, but I'm not sure about the hair; it needs to go up a fraction, I'd suggest.

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

I like the look of the Cahokia guy, but the hair needs to be moved up a bit as Rob suggests. Also, he looks a bit shiny. He must use quite a lot of moisturizer.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Alright I'll ditch the sheen lol..and I'll post previews of the other eras of Kamahamaha while I'm at it.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

You've already seen era three of King Kamahamaha....now its time for

One...

Three....

And Four....
