What do you think of Dedon, too colorful? Some of them had so many medals and decorations on the chest...

One of my favorite general (along with Friant), because of his sad destiny, is "La Bedoyère"; a talented leader shooted in 1815.
He was 29 years old.

The forums died for a while yesterday night as i was answering you leure:
Never mind... i was telling you they look great!
Maybe Colbert has a little too much red on the cheeks... but justa little
About Dedon, the portraits is very good, but as you say, the jacket is so colourful it shocks a little. Maybe you could darken it or paint it "french" blue.
Have you counted how many portraits there are "to do"... hundreds??
Thanks for your work!

I painted Auguste-Francois-Marie de Colbert-Chabanais, promoted to General-de-Brigade on 1805, died 1809, read about his death here

And the one that appears in the game is Pierre-David (Edouard) Colbert de Chabanais, promoted General-de-Division in 1813, died 1853

Following a message by jastaV, there are some questions.
Is it possible to add generals to the database, for example this Colbert? As he was "only" General-de-Brigade, is this a problem, Is it necessary to be at least General-de-Division to appear in the game as a distict general?
Another example is Dahlmann, promoted to General-de-Brigade in the beginning of 1807, but died just a month later at Eylau. I have a good quality source (not the one that appears in the link)
