LEADERHEAD: George Washington

[KlarJanice]

On request, I've started working on a George Washington leaderhead. Thought I'd post a quick preview.

Smellincoffee, I hope you like it.

It is well done, but I am not sure about the facial expression on th efirst one. What is it meant to convey?

[Azeem]

Very nice. In a strange way, the face kind of reminds me of President Clinton.

[Smellincoffee]

It looks similar to Firaxis' leaderheads. What do the other eras look like?

[Jaguar]

He looks really really good. I like Abe too, but he gets boring after a while.

vmxa1: It *should* look happy, but don't worry, it's just a preview. Haven't worked on it more than a couple of hours in total - planning to improve it!

Azeem: Clinton? You really need to explain me why...

Smellincoffee: No other eras so far. But you'll see the pics posted as soon as I start working on them.

Nope the Firaxis ones go from ecstasy to constipation too.

It looks very good, are you going to have the head move also?

Why is it Ab Lincoln for the Americans & not George Washington? is he not the First President of The US?.

[Smellincoffee]

Most people consider Honest Abe to be the "best" president the USA had due to his managment of the Civil War.

I, however, prefer Washington. He didn't even have a country to hold together, yet he managed to do it.

Hmmm... reading this I have the feeling you might have gotten the (wrong) impression that I've been working with Poser... but... err... although I was able to get my hands on the program for Christmas, it looks like no matter what I do to edit them all the faces keep looking the same.
And I cannot find out how to edit clothing, and hairstyle, for example (any hint/suggestion welcome )

So... I am just playing with Photoshop at the moment. I found the picture of a marble statue that looked appropriate, I colored it... and this is the result. :P
Guess it will take quite some time before I complete the leaderhead though...

You did an excellent job of coloring it then. I had thought you were using another 3d program other than Poser though. The model looked a little more "solid" than most Poser model and I had kinda wondered if it was being done in Maya.

The end of the Civil War was not truly the end of the animosity between North and South. There are many people who consider Ulysses Grant, the president immediately following Lincoln, as the greatest President ever. Grant presided over the Reconstruction at a time when the country could very easily lapsed back into Civil War.
