Oh cool!Russian uniforms are always good looking but complicated :D I started myself imperial Russian uniforms but had to stop because I can't find accurate sources.

I'm about to submitt some Japanese uniforms: I made summer and winter Admiral uniforms. It took a while since I also created a face for them and some decorations, like the Order of the Chrysantemum.

References are always difficult to find. If we had digitilized images of the official designs by the old governments, that would be AWESOME, but unfortunately, we have to rely uniquely on Google or even screenshots. I felt this when, excited about the Japanese project, I tried to look after the "Tenno gofuku" the uniform Hirohito used to wear during the war, and found only one photo of questionable quality.

Japanese sounds interesting I think there is nothing yet here about it?!
Yeah find good sources you can rely on is always difficult unless you want to draw German WWII uniforms :)

Just need to fix some details and it will be done:)
Sometimes, even this can be difficult without proper research. Even though Nazi uniforms do have a lot of swastikas, people - often video game designers - tend to overdo it or mix insignias in a way you begin questioning if these guys know Google at all.
