I could make a retextured samurai version later...That's how i think a samurai should look (without an armor; and i know: He's not a japanese, but still looks so).
Looks completly fine.
And east asian people with brown hair are, as far as i know, a lot less common than with black hair, so imho it should stay black.
Capo (or Ekmek), that LH animation guide.... how do you use someone else's animations on another LH? I'm trying to do that on Abaoji.
I have now released Abaoji v1, check him out
Edit: I have also done some HEAVY improvement of the first and second post. Thanks, ImageShack.
Edit2: Draft of Sigurd I in third post
did you use the shader or nonshader textures?
