Excellent job!

maybe a staff or cane with a human skull for a knob? Great job on the leatherwork.

Thanks. I discovered that old purses from the Goodwill are great sources for some pretty cool leathers.

Also, old thin women's gloves and thin leather skirts and jackets work well, if you can find some in the right color.

I get what you're aiming for, but baboons are monkeys, not apes. POTA species were limited to the Great Apes.

I realize baboons are monkeys, but why should that matter? This is fantasy. Why not expand the POTA universe to make it a bit more colorful and interesting? Baboons could live in nomadic tribes on the outermost fringe of ape society. Apes look down on them, viewing them as just a notch above humans on the evolutionary scale. Baboons don't abide by ape law. They're lawless, pirates and bandits. The OP has a great flair for making POTA customs that expand beyond the traditional. I think it could be a fun idea to explore.

So with the epaulettes applied, I am now considering painting the braids on them to make them stand out from the base. Red? Silver? Hmmm...Thoughts? Not sure how ornate is too ornate.

[piecemaker]

I would paint the braids gold,plus he needs a weapon of some sort.Maybe a knife or pistol in a black sheath/holster,but attached to the red vest similiar to how you did the epaulettes,no belt and the pistol holster would be reversed and on the left hand side.

Really nice design and execution.

Never thought of that. Got to have a look.
How about a swagger stick for his accessory?
