The infantry poster and illustration of how to handle the musket is well done.

Lol, this kind of bureaucracy is why I joined the pirate faction

@NOD, thank you. It isn't really a build so much as some tinkering with camera effects so I wont be submitting a webform. Effect was achieved using a series of effects on the photos of staged minis; 'greyscale' then 'sharpen' followed by 'cartoon'. 'Antique/vintage' was then used on the poster.

 This manner of rampant pomposity is precisely what drew me to the blue!

Thanks @Khorne. That is heafty praise from a professional graphics designer. You're right about the font. Sadly the basic photo editing software on my phone doesn't have as many options as I would like and only one or two fonts. I picked up a laptop this year, so I intend to expand on these capabilities for Era 3!

Thank you, @Keymonus!

Points to anyone who can tell where my dyslexia and ignorance of the French language intersected.

What a lovely edited effect on the poster. The dynamic pose really stirs the patriotic drum! I would've used a serif font for the titles though, since sans serif type fonts weren't really a thing back then. A serif font like Times New Roman would set the visual more properly in the right time frame.

The primer is also really neat. I saw on Flickr a while ago and have always loved the idea and execution.

I really missed this pearl! The way you turned that little vignette in a propaganda patriotic manifest is amazing!
