Cute WW2 British Army Private

This little guy spotted the Navy Sailors below and demanded to be included having the same exposure as his Military counterparts.

What could I do but comply so here you go.

Cute American Navy Officer

Navy characters seem to be the all the rage this week over at Mark Murphy Creative.

Not wanting to be upstaged by the 2 Sailors in the previous posts comes this cute little American Navy Officer in his whites and super cool Aviator sunglasses.

I'm sure I'll be creating more Naval designs soon so man the crows nest and keep your eyes peeled.

New WW2 Russian Naval Character

It may seem rather random to create a Russian WW2 Sailor but I thought the uniform with the satchel was really cool. I also really enjoy creating the historical characters as the research for each character takes you on a journey through time.
