[Empereur et Roi]

This is amazing! What did you use to make it @Empereur et Roi? Do you mind if I use these for my Napoelon II Timeline?

Absolutely, if anyone wants to use any of my images for their timelines feel free. I actually originally posted them to offer them to another Napoleon II timeline I was following but it seems to have died unfortunately. Don't mind helping add more varied images of L'Aiglon out there. And I just used GIMP to make them.
Speaking of which here's a couple more I've made recently. The Imperial portrait is a little spotty in some areas but I think it came out a lot better than I would have thought. Far better than my previous attempts to use that source image for Napoleon II in the past at least.

Thanks man! I think I can make use of them for later portions of my timelines such as later periods in Napoleon's reign.

I particularly love your Portrait 2 version.

And I just used GIMP to make them.

Is GIMP hard to use? I mostly use Paint.net for my maps, memes, and image graphics for the moment, but I just can't wrap my head around GIMP.

Do you think that any of Napoleon II's portraits would work with things like face app? I was thinking it would be kinda cool for there to be some sort of image of Napoleon II as he ages much like what there was for iconic monarchs like Franz Joseph.

As for coronation robes, do you think it would be more realistic for Napoleon II to appear in something akin to his father's style or something more along the lines of his cousin in otl? I was leaning towards the red Imperial style of Napoleon I because of how cool that looks.

I've been using it for so long now that I find it pretty easy to wrap my head around but there was a pretty steep learning curve at first. I've heard and seen plenty of good things come from people using Paint.net as well so I'd imagine it's mostly a preference thing.

I'd actually played around with that before. I haven't really found any that respond very well to it. It doesn't handle paintings super well especially ones of Napoleon II because the ones we have online are such low resolution.

Considering the fashion trends of European monarchs in the 1800s and that his father was iconic for sticking to relatively simple military uniforms at the time I'd imagine he would stick to something a little less flashy like the marshal style uniform Napoleon III wore irl. No matter what the circumstances of a reigning Napoleon II timeline he would be living very much in his father's shadow and he was keenly aware of it. At the end of the day though he's not his cousin and it's your timeline so anything's possible. Napoleon III didn't even bother with a coronation ceremony.

I don't know if the names of the uniforms makes sense, but yeah.

Junior Party Member/Equalist Youth - Ages 10-14. The Equalist Youth appropriated many of the activities such as including camping and hiking. However, over time it changed in content and intention. For example, many activities closely resembled military training, with weapons training, assault course circuits and basic tactics for the older ones in this rank. The aim was to instill the motivation that would enable its members to fight faithfully for the Equalist Union as soldiers. There was greater emphasis on physical fitness, hardness and military training than on academic study. Loyalty, Determination, and advancement of the Equalist Union (through new ideas) is drilled into the members of this rank.

Senior Party Member - Ages 16-18. Focused on honing in the skills learned after being apart of the Junior Party. This time with real weapons training. Members of this rank are taught how to aim with perfect accuracy, build and repair guns / laser rifles, and how to increase stamina among other such things. Not apart of the military yet, as the Equalist Union has all military members join at age 19 after an induction ceremony. The Equalist Union aims to perfect its future soldiers through rigorous and extensive training in order to create the perfect soldier.

Field Marshal - One of the highest commanding ranks in the ground forces, the Field Marshal rank is reserved for those who have received exceptional recognition for bravery and valor, as well as perfect academic score in their youth without failure. Field Marshals answer directly to the leader of the Equalist Union, who is simply called 'Starlight'.

I figured making a thread for these might be pushing it, but...

Inspired by the mostly retired Vlad Tepes Award....

And the comparatively lesser known Drunk Fleetlord Atvar Award...

I've been working on my own collection of arguably useful (or at least amusing) Alternate History awards for awhile now, whenever I had some free time or the inspiration struck me.

First off, one of the newest, but first to be unveiled recently, when awarded to CaekDemon for his delightful exploration of Gorgossi parasitic disease in "Raiders of the Lost City"...the H.R. Giger's Kitty Award!

Next up, for those honest little "oops," "didn't think this through," "it's not 3 Roentgen..." moments...The Anatoly Dylatov Award for Excellence!

Followed by a logical, if not automatic, companion, for those of us who like making a few rough calculations...The Professor Groeteschele Award!

Lastly, and in much less sardonic (if not better) taste...for those times where Want of a Nail or One Bad Day have spiraled into some Rough Beast Slouching Towards Bethlehem, The Bouazizi Badge of Achievement!

Yet again a batch of reworked soccer logo's. This time for the Detroit Corinthians and the Tampa Bay Pelicans!

Some art I made for my timeline, Imperator Francorum. This is based off the Ingres' painting: Napoleon I on his Imperial Throne. As today is the 216th anniversary of Napoleon I's coronation, I though it would be the perfect time to post this.​

Here's some art I made of Reinhard von Lohengram for Legends of the Galactic Heroes. I know its an older anime, but I highly recommend checking it out. What do you guys think?​

I also posted it on reddit as well on the main LOGH subredit.

It's supposed to be a poster, just trying out a few things. I made the "photograph" a long, long, long time ago and don't really remember what I used to make it or indeed or how I made it.

This poster is really well made. What did you use to make it?

Here's another art piece I did for Code Geass. This is Lelouch in his Julius Kingsley outfit during the Akhito the Exiled OVA. Despite my misgivings about the OVA, the character designs in it are still pretty cool.

All hail Lelouch!​

I use Microsoft PowerPoint, never learned to use Photoshop etc.

Here's some minimalist art I made for Kars from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Battle Tendency (Part II). Kars' fabulous hair was honestly cumbersome to draw. What do you think of this?

Got a wee backlog of starships from the Crumpleverse to share. Going in order that I made them, here's the Solarian Ramapala-class frigate.
