Excellent leaderhead!(And I'm not just saying because I'm Dutch; he looks spiffing! BTW, "best daddy" was a nickname given by his mariners to admiral Michiel De Ruyter, another contemporary, so that's not too far off.) He should definitely be added in CIV Gold, BTW.
Zeer interessant . Ik kende dat niet.

That's easily fixed. If you guys think he's good to go then I'll release him in a little while.

Yar, I want to stuff him in WoL now!

Hmm...he looks like someone, but I can't think of who!
But anyways, it's great. The BG isn't my favorite choice, but it is easily changed.

It doesn't seem...historical?
I dunno, it looks like a "Come Visit Hawaii" poster on this guy's dorm room wall.

Well, that is true.
But it is pretty difficult to find something that is (a) historically accurate and in color, (b) is historically accurate and doesn't have people standing in it, or things that should be moving in it, and (c) that looks good.
So this was what I came up with, I will say though that I came up with this background quite a while back so there might be something better. If you want to look yourself and can provide me with something I'd change it. Provided I liked it that is.

What about the original Salamasina background from CivGold? I'm not sure if it's still in the latest version, but the one with the Leader Gallery in the subforum shows it. There is much greenery and some ocean in it, sort of an island overview.
P.S. - This is definitely the best Kamehameha we've had yet, and as you say, he's only 1.0. I love the clothing design, and the face is pretty nice. The hair looks a little plasticy, but it's not bad.

Yeah, the hair is what I dislike the most about it. But that's what the shadering looks like, and it looks worse without shaders. So of all the things I'd eventually like to change about it, the hair is probably the most pressing.
What did you say here?
"Very interesting. I thought that not"?
I think the hair looks really good. A great LH- it was great when MO made it, and it is a lot better now! Definitely one of my favourites!

Awesome job!
That combination of his expression and the background makes him looks like he's saying, "Are you calling me a queer, punk?"

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.
Lalibela is probably going to take a while longer because there aren't that many depictions out there and my current plan for him is pretty ornate. He'll probably be a big-DL, like Maurits was. Not to mention I already had these guys as WIPs.
@ CT: And yes, Kamehameha was quite the bad-ass.

I do agree with HuaynaCapac in that I don't really like the BG... But that can easily be replaced...
Otherwise... Let the stuffing into WoL COMMENCE!

Looks good
I really like what you've done with Salamasina though I do miss the face sculpting that was in the original. Will you do something similar for v2? Also would it be possible to retexture her wrap to tapa cloth (traditional pacific material made from bark)? A google image search brings up many excellent examples.
Apologies for not giving this feedback earlier but I've got family visiting atm and too little time to be on CFC (also why I didn't volunteer to playtest for you this time around). Both Polynesian leaders are looking great though, fantastic work as always. Would LOVE a Maori LH when you're done with Diplomacy II work. I'm part Maori myself and I figure since the Hungarians are being super patriotic lately...
