WIP - Kaiserliche Marine Parade Uniforms

Description

Hey there, still messing around with uniforms. Even if i don't publish most of my work, I do a lot of these, it's like a therapy, seeing how they can be made way faster than my other stuff. The stuff that gets comments and views... Ah, well.

I tried to merge the elements of the German naval forces from 1871 to 1945: the details in black and red are present in epaulets as up to 1918, but with the cornflower blue strap used by the Kriegsmarine. The caps also has the details used by the Kriegsmarine to further differentiate the various levels of officiers. The patent of Generaladmiral (whose equivalent in the Army and Luftwaffe is Generaloberst) exists here, because I intend to create a fully unified and standardized table of ranks and insignia for the German armed forces. I will publish this table later...

Now, one thing: if you know of some detail that I missed or have a suggestion, it will be very welcome! Especially with respect to the sleeve insignia. For the third model, which in the case is a Obersbootsmann, I used both shoulder and sleeve insignia and I don't know if this is correct. I know, it's Alternate History, but that doesn't mean I have no criteria. After all, that's basically my justification for the time I lost with it. I address this plea for help especially the most creative and active members pixel art community here, :icontounushifan: and :iconphaffm: If you guys have any thought about it, leave a comment:)

Don't worry, he doesn't become a Nazi... he isn't an anti-Semite/ racist (elitist hardcase and uptight East Prussian Junker who loathes the Socialists, Liberals, and Communists with a firey passion, sure; but racist, no). In fact, a couple relatives on his matrilineal side are Ashkenazi Jews, something that would have him labeled a Mischling, or 'Mix-ling,' someone whose Aryan blood was considered impure, and leading to him being treated as no different than a regular Untermensch in the concentration camps; he also hit it off rather well with the Askari soldiers he fought alongside with in Africa, outright commending them as 'more loyal and possessing more kampfgeist than some of his fellow Germans.'
