Working on...
Xerxes Leaderhead

Caesar Leaderhead

 

[ShiroKobbure]

On hold....

 

[ShiroKobbure]

Any suggestions on Caesar?

 

[BadKharma]

OMG what did you do different that Caesar looks incredible. The only suggestion I can think of is too use a more basic background. Right now it seems to detract from your wonderfull work.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I couldn't find a Roman background that doesn't look too old.

 

[BadKharma]

I'll see if I can find anything. That latest leaderhead looks incredible I really want to see it released.

 

[BadKharma]

How is this?

[ShiroKobbure]

looks too fake, is that for Ancient or Medieval?

 

[BadKharma]

Ancient its the parthenon I believe.

 

[Antiochus VII]

The Indian leaderhead and Caesar both look incredible - I wondered this about your Ethiopian leaderhead too though, would blurring or fading the background just a little make the leaderhead itself stand out more?

Yes it would it is a technique in photography known as selective focus to make the main subject stand out from the background.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I always blur my backgrounds in photoshop. But I guess I can blur them more.

Caesar looks really great. Nice touch, making him a pope for the middle ages. Will you do four eras for him?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I'm not sure, any ideas?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

King Xerxes of Persia

 

[Keroro]

The veins on Caesar's neck are a little prominent, and I agree that the background, though glorious, is a little distracting. I think that particularly the red banners mean that the shape of the face is lost. Perhaps if the colour could be slightly toned down?

Very nice work though - he looks like a powerful and revered Emperor.

 

[Virote_Considon]

Oh, I could use Xerxes as a better Darius for my Greek scenario! (I always like Xerxes as Xerxes, but thought Darius would look stronger, and have a bigger beard)

I could also use Era 1 of Ceaser to be Troy's era 4 leaderhead (when they're probably going to be "Rome", anyway )

 

[Ares de Borg]

Caesar looks very good! I suggest to give him a 1800s Napoleonic Era look for the Industrial age, and an elegant suit in Modern times.

Meji is also very good. Nice work!

 

[Plotinus]

Caesar looks great. I agree that the background is too busy, and the neck wrinkles are perhaps a bit too prominent - but it's a great idea to give them to him. I like wrinkles and things as it makes the LHs look more real and gives them more character. Actually, on second thoughts, they're not too prominent - they're just not in quite the right places. Might be an idea to study a few pictures of old people to see where neck wrinkles tend to form. Nice idea to make him a Pope for the Middle Ages.
