Well yes, that'd be good! We'll see...the Specials were created for something like this in the end...everyone hates 'em, they can be destroyed...neutralised...or forced to return to regular soldiering and the war can continue.

Excellent depiction if I may say so Dau!
I especially like the officer... very aristocratic looking, like a gentleman who added some bling to his hunting garb!
I can't wait to see more... if you decide to draw more Imperials.

hehe thank you Commodore sah! as for drawing Imperials...well... I think that the Guard Corps and the Specials are the most noticeable in the Empire...somehow I was thinking about port Istanbul militia but..that was just a quick idea

CdreJohnPaulJones In reply to Kaiser-Conti [2008-05-09 19:16:55 +0000 UTC]
Not even Imperial Navy?
I think it would be interesting to create a Turkish-looking Imperial militiaman, wearing the gray uniform and all, but with baggy trousers, the turban and cockade, etc.

Kaiser-Conti In reply to CdreJohnPaulJones [2008-05-09 20:15:33 +0000 UTC]
is that a suggestion sir?
hehe yeah I was thinking the same basically...and..maybe we should create a Republican Guard as well? not only Frenchies n Brits separate

CdreJohnPaulJones In reply to Kaiser-Conti [2008-05-09 22:08:13 +0000 UTC]
Aye sir! We could do that... though I would opt for militiamen wearing hunting frocks and coveralls over regimental uniforms. I'm sure there'd be a fight if the coats were red or if they used a French rank system. So I'd just use colored hunting frocks with a secondary color for the trim. We could adopt this as our "Devian" look, and its practical too.
Cocked hats or shakos?
Coveralls? Boots? Gaiters? Trousers?
How to denote rank... epauletes? Sashes? Shoulder knots or cords? Chevrons?
So many ideas... I love designing uniforms.
We can't use black, green, or dark gray... that's Imperial. If we still used regimental frocks... they couldn't be red with white... British... couldn't use blue with white... nor blue with red... that's French and American.
What if we used Earth tones... like dusty browns and olive drabs? Its different and it blends in.

Kaiser-Conti In reply to CdreJohnPaulJones [2008-05-10 10:26:21 +0000 UTC]
Earth colours? I fully support brown for frock coats, and it could fit with yellow or red facings
as for shakos...well...I dunno...I'd support either bicorns or some kind of leather helmets decorated with plumes, not simple shakos however
something like this perhaps? (number 4, though we'd have to add a metal plate and change the plume colour [link]
and of course gaiters! xD
as for ranks system, well both French and British used fabric pieces sewn to the arm for lower ranks while epaulettes were reserved for NCO's and high ranked officers...so we'd only need to think up a design that's different than French diagonal and horizontal stripes and British arrow-like chevrons Epaulletes were used by almost every army back then so their use shouldn't cause any objections
and sashes? it's rather a symbol of officer status I think
and yay for uniform designing

CdreJohnPaulJones In reply to Kaiser-Conti [2008-05-10 13:08:42 +0000 UTC]
I was thinking of these designs:
Regular Army Style
[link] [link] (Officer in center)
[link]
Frontiersman Style
[link] (Center aiming rifle)
[link]
[link]
Perhaps the first could be for parade dress and such while the latter is worn for longer campaigns and battle? The militiaman in the blue frontiersman frock and red trim is my idea on colored garb to denote rank and unit.
What if we used brown coats, olive drab waistcoats and breeches (or trousers, coveralls, whatever) and faced the uniforms with gray? This would really blend in with the Devian landscape and woods.

Kaiser-Conti In reply to CdreJohnPaulJones [2008-05-11 08:54:47 +0000 UTC]
well..er..the frontiersman stuff doesn't look like a uniform designed for any Guard o.o
I think that this brown colour idea is interesting in this case..we may give it a try
