Was bopping around Deviant Art thanks to a tip on AH.com. Found this gem created by JakarNilson. Link. Also here's a scene by the same guy depicting a crazy sergeant on the Yankee side, McSweeney. Gordon. |

Oh, I thought you were going to say "Dick Cheney's snarling expression." The poster said he was a lurker on the Norton Board. I wonder if he lurks here as well. |

I don't see the Cheney resemblance. |

I was referring to his mouth, it reminded me of the Cheney snarl that I've seen in a picture or a few. The rest of his face looks nothing at all like the vice president. |

The pose, the haircut, the uniform. I'm pretty sure I've seen an illustration or photograph of Hitler in that pose. |

Oh, well yeah. But it's also been mentioned on numerous occasions that the Snake wears a butternut uniform. The uniform Potter wears is closer to what I had in mind, with the breast pockets and all - and I wonder why the artist has two different shades of butternut - but Jake's is nicely illustrated. I don't think he ever wore an armband, and IIRC chevrons go on the left sleeve, not the right. I even saw a teeny bit of Lincoln in the boniness and the hair. Still its one of the best representations of the series I've ever seen. I hope he does more, and it led me to think that instead of a movie or TV series, a comic series wouldn't be a bad idea in and of itself. |

Yes, more will be nice. As an aside, I recall one of our regular posters did some artwork now and again *ahem*. |

The colors on the uniforms were somewhat darker than what I think of as butternut. The colors weren't quite right on the McSweeney picture either -- should have been more greenish from the way the books described US uniforms. I wonder if I can find a picture of Bavarian WWI uniforms relatively easily. |

I thought the colors were close. I think in AF the Rebs' butternut uniforms were described as copies, in color and form, of the British khaki. Re McSweeney: I thought the US Great War helmets were steel pots, not stahlheims. They developed the damn thing first, after all. |
