This is an image I produced for Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword. The character is an animated leaderhead in the game and was used for various promotional material including the box. Many of the leaderheads that you see on this site were used as box art or to promote the game in one way or another. All of the characters for Civilization were originally created to run in the game engine and range from 10 to 15 thousand polygons. The original models were then taken to a higher poly count (turbosmooth) to create the high-res images that you see here. You can view all of the animated game characters in the "Civilizations" section at:

Characters I created include Willem van Oranje, Charlemagne, Suleiman, Pacal II, Boudica, Zara Yaqob, Pericles and Charles de Gaulle.
Wallpapers I created for these characters can be found here:
