Dictators enter the Tournament!

Post by EvilGrins »

The idea initially kicked off in my skins edit thread on the ut99 forum · https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?p=149293#p149293

It was then just a matter of Baardman making the faces for it, with suggestions coming in:

Skin is named "World Leaders" now, but it was initially "Dictators" and basically that's the truth of it.

What is a dictator?

Opinions vary:
· To my way of thinking, Trump was a dictator thru most of his 1st term.
· Some Canadians see Trudeau as a dictator, but I don't see it.
· Kim Jong-un, obviously. Xi, definitely. Putin, so much.

Skin has 7 faces: Bibi Netanyahu, Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, & Vladimir Putin.

I originally put Trump in there just for testing, planned to remove it later... but then he won the election.

I wasn't expecting Trudeau to retire, but I left him in there anyway.

There were some issues with the initial design of Putin's face, most of which were fixed. The hair is a bit much... but he used to have more so I guess this is okay.

I had a little too much fun with Xi's talk texture. Seems a stretch back someone pointed out he looks like "Winnie the Pooh" so he completely banned any depiction of the character from being shown in China.

Added the fat belly texture as most World Leaders (exceptions of Macron, Putin, Trudeau) don't exercise all that much.

You should make a version of the Xan texture and make it say "Do you dare to challenge Trump?"

like I once worked on one which said "Do you dare to challenge Britney?" when I planned to make that Toxic Britney Spears edit. By modifying the Toxic map and making her the big bad boss. And I didn't get to make her itself but I planned to use that squely scream of her from her "Toxic" song and also "Baby hit me one more time" and such lines...LOL

Making her a pawn, I also planned to include her within the Gott mod. And David Hasselhoff would fight on your side....

and no I don't have any of that anymore because it was unfinished and long ago and I lost it, also 2007 was the last update of the Gott mod because i started to focus on more serious mods and unreal psx/beta stuff later.

Interesting idea, but a bit over the top.

Mostly waiting on a chance to use a new skin for nali cows which all have Trump's face.

Probably some disturbing orange hamburger jokes there...
