“GO BACK PALE FACE” SITTING BULL 1857 Creation 1:54

[MAXIMO]

Hi guys
I did this vignette inspired by the paint of William Cary about an historical event on 1857, when the young Sioux chief Sitting Bull ( 26 at that moment, dared to menace Liutenant Warren, the commanding officer of a military expedition, throwing a lance in front of him and shouting:” go back paleface and leave our territory! “ .
I created the chief warrior over a naked multipose figure and dressed it up with the
traditional Indian wearing, war instruments and decorations (but sorry for any possible mistake on the matter): everything hand made with putty and metal ( like feathers, shield, ax, buffalo skull )..I also transformed a Historex horse modifying part of the body and legs and created the equipment and details.

I painted all with acrylic
I’ll appreciate and welcome all your comments

Brilliant piece of work Adriano.

An area of particular interest recently - You made a very nice job of the costume and conversion and it's a great idea for an unusual mounted figure. I look forward to studying it in more detail
Stay safe

An excellent piece of modelling work sculpting and painting wise.You have put many hours in this project and it shows.If I could add just a tiny bit of criticism,and I do it with the best intentions possible,it would concern the painting of the Indian's eyes.In the photos they look a bit on the big side.It could be the quality of the pictures but if it isn't ,the problem can easily be solved by rewarking the lower eyelid just a tad.On the whole this is trully a great vignette.

Oda.
