Steeltopia Navy Commission

For many weeks I've been working on a commission from SteelCobra Calamari to create the naval uniforms for his steampunk sim Steeltopia. As reference for inspiration, I looked at historic photos and illustrations such as this one from a set about the 1899 US Navy...You can only buy these uniforms at INS headquarters in Steeltopia if you are a member of the Imperial Navy of Steeltopia (INS). All come with a jacket, pants, belt, and sculpted cap and pants cuffs. Each has a different rank and look to the collars and cuffs. This is the Ensign uniform...The Officers uniform...And Emperor SteelCobra himself is modeling the Captain's uniform (although he also has an Admiral's uniform unique to him)...
