WIP Critique Indian woman with baby in cradle

Ulrich · Jun 5, 2011

Just started another fine little figure. I got it from Carl (Housecarl). The scale is 120 mm and the figure is from "Pete Barnacle Studios". Never heard before from him but that is a very fine sculpt.

I started with the cradle, not finished but I think you can get the first impression. The first picture is the model for the cradle painting

I think the beadwork will give's you alot of work.

This looks interesting and a good start, I'll be folllowing the progress.

Ulrich · Jun 5, 2011

Thanks. Attached a photo from the woman and the model for painting her dress. The dress is pronounced as a cheyenne dress and the cradle as a dakota/lakota cradle. I am not an expert but I hope that I could paint the figure so.

If there are problems please let me know

The cheyenne and souxi were very close, almost like first cousins so your OK there , but if you had done pawnee or blackfoot you would be in real trouble . I like what you have done so far . I look out for more

Thanks Guys. Will try to do my best

Chippy: Thanks for that information. I haven´t found a Lakota dress for that kind of robe she is wearing. Have you a model for painting her as a Lakota?

Looks very realistic and true to life; lazy stitch pony beaded cradle board. Super job.

Guy · Jun 7, 2011

You are doing a beautiful job Ulrich. I really like what you have done so far.

chippy · Jun 7, 2011

Ulrich this is the only souix dress I can find among all the books and pictures I have of , I hope the text might help you as well

Great photos I think

Long time ago that I have started to paint "Bird Woman", but here some new photos.

Tomorrow I will let grow grass and flowers on the base, some corrections at the figure and I promise I will make some better picture then

Hope you like it and comments are welcome

Very nice, glad she went to a good home.

Very nice, I love the beading on the baby cradle. Maybe a tad more shading on her clothing might give it a bit more "punch", but thats only my opinion.

Thanks. She is now ready and after the colours are dry, she will went into my cabinet. Hope that I will find some more figures from Pete Barnacle
