My first variant had other pose. I have changed position of a hand and a gun. But small conversion will return position according to your desire.
The first variant was such - the hunter has risen in a saddle, holds a horse and looks the new bison for a shot searches.

" Buffalo Hunter " has the big and interesting history. I collected a lot of information, photos and illustrations.
For my figure I have prepared for five pages a collage:
1 - Heroes
2 - Consequences
3 - Art
4 - Outfit
5 - History

I hope to you also it becomes interesting to look history Buffalo Hunter.

Yours faithfully, Zlobov*S.

Beautiful sculpting Sergey. I hope to see this available commercially.

Man that is too cool. Not my period of interest but may have to make an exception so I can paint this beauty.

Nice sculpt. I think I prefer the original pose however. Cool!

I like the shooting pose better as well, but overall it is a wonderful piece. I sure will be adding this to my collection.

Sergey, I really like your sculpting. Any chance that you will put together (book or ebook) your horse sculpting material I saw scattered around?

I like both figures, but have to ask why his left foot is out of the stirrup.

 

[Anders Heintz]

First off, absolutely gorgeous sculpting all around! The horse is magnificant to say the least. However, with that said the pose is not very convincing. He is reining in his horse, which have yielded his head at the poll, yet the horse is walking forward. The foot being out of the stirrup takes away all his stability, I have shot many a times horseback, and you want all the support you can get. He is also leaning back, making it quite un ideal for taking a shot. Perhaps a left leg in the stirrup, leaning forward a tad more (straight) would make for a more convincing pose.

Sergey,
Excellent and great research.
Cheers

Amazing work. I like both poses but prefer the original pose.

 

[Zlobov*S]

I thank for your attention and kind words!
It is glad that you liked the new horseman.

Anders Heintz - thanks, you the big expert and I have many your photos of a horse is very much the helpful information.
I saw a pose for a long time in old film about hunters in Africa "safari".

These are photos of a horse and the horseman in process clay.
Yours faithfully, I do not say goodbye, Sergey.

I really like it but can't get over the way the Buffalo hunter is 'sitting' in the sadlle. It would be very hard riding like this (I ride myself and wouldn't dream of attempting riding like this myself). The balance is off, the horse won't get any leads on the side of the pulled up leg. Reins are slacked so no contact with the horse there. Firing a .50 Buffalorifle packs a punch even on the ground. Firing the rifle in this position from a galopping horse would most likely knock you out of the sadlle because of disbalance and recoil. And I really don't see why you would want to ride like this (whats the reason?)

Please don't get me wrong,
I absolutely love the sculpting and it is my field of interest but the unnatural and unlogical riding position raises an eyebrow (based on riding experience rather than expertice: for all I know all Buffalo hunters rode like this???)

P.S.
Great link which spots several photo's of a Buffalo hunter monument (also included in your 5 page booklet) which I would like to see on the scale modeling market
