Tibetian Monk Leaderhead Preview

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Here's a preview of frames 1, 61, and 121.

The question is, what changes over the ages? Monks are pretty much the same now as 2000 years ago aren't they?

Any ideas?

[Torkkeli]

Maybe if you leave the monk as is and evolve the background.
Put a Medieval Castle on the hill, maybe cut the trees of, highway tunnel, high skycrapers with lots of infrastructure around...

[hetairoi22]

Maybe change the material of which the clothing is made...

[Sheik]

Don't have anything change. It might be cool to see them never change. It real monks didn't change then the ones in the game don't need to either.

[teturkhan]

AWESOME!

this is great!

[teturkhan]

Maybe change the material of which the clothing is made...

I agree, change the clothes or put a temple in the background that sort of thing... one thing though, I know the Dalai Lama is very nice looking today, in the past they were warlike, maybe touch up on his mean side - make him look more stern - vulcan like - know what I mean? (or have I been watching too much star trek again?? )

once again, fanatastic work!

[Gramphos]

Looking good.

[hagen]

Maybe he could get eyeglasses in the industrial/modern era.
Or maybe not, because it's pathetic, and Gandhi has too.

[ManicStarSeed]

Holy Colors

FYI

Tibetian monks wear a deep yellow (marigold/goldenrod) and red robes..

Mss

PS.. You can give the monk glasses in the modern era.

edit: added links

Looks good! For the modern age you could add an image of a passenger jet high in the sky, nothing flashy just visible and subtle.

[The Templar]

How about a sand painting in the background that fills in over the ages. Maybe it will be blank in the modern age because it was finished at the end of the industrial age and destroyed.

[vovan]

Looks good.

As for suggestions for change:

- Use as is for ancient era
- Add a little building on the mountain for midieval era. A castle wouldn't work well, but maybe a pagoda, or something.
- Expand the pagoda for the industrial era. And maybe add something very subtle to it, that would indicate industrialism. Maybe some smoke coming up from the background, as if a small train was there?
- For the modern era, draw a jet trace in the sky, and give the guy glasses.

[Centauri18]

Give him glasses in the industrial era, make them into contacts for the modern era.

[vovan]

And for us to be able to tell that he is actually wearing contacts, they would have to either be some unnatural color - like red or yellow, or shape the pupil differently...

Now, I think it is worth to do a research to find out how many Tibetan Monks have poor eyesight.

[Centauri18]

It was sort of a joke, Vov.
