hello
nicely flowing, very very animated sculp, that reminds me a little of artwork by the American watercolorist Bev Doolittle
Am I correct in thinking that this is Cheyenne Wolf Warrior society member?
If so he can be made more 'historic' by adding a special rattle that these warriors carried, putting a 'protective ' feather in horse's tail and even perhaps braiding the tail, and perhaps adding a quirt and a longer lariat tied to his waist - well all of this can be done when converting. Also according to Rev. T. Mails the eagle flag (one of two) had a flint point - this is for the painting part of the project
. They carried firearms too, a sign of being established after the coming of the White men...

just have a suggestion - perhaps you may consider the entire Plains Indians warrior societies - perhaps any of contraries,Dog soldiers, Red shield or bowstring Cheyenne societies etc they are colorful, distinctive, each with their own regalia and costumes, very warlike and manly
I think such series could be amazing, both because of your artistry and the subject matter - and bloody glorious adventure in historic miniature.

Hi Dario! Thanks for kind words and your wishes!

Bev Doolittle the fine artist - I very much like its{her} pictures, especially the schedule.
I also think " distant horizon " Dave McGary is the best and invincible sculptor of a theme " national America "! I frequently examine{consider} his{its} sculpture and {it} me always forces to search for the image and to model. Also I frequently look Kirby Sattler and Paul Kalle and Howard Terpning.

T. Mails is a leading historian, as well as Grinnel are big knowledge!!!

Your wishes take place - thanks. Initially I projected Dacota - but later I have decided that it will be better to make few accents of an accessory{a belonging} to a concrete military society. It will enable a choice in painting for all who likes and is fond of a theme of " national America ". Thus it is possible to paint correct ornaments and colors for Crow, Cheyenne, Dacota and Black Foots.

I shall result my variant of the information of painting Dacota Wolf Scout below (further).

Also I work above the project of horse figures of 75 mm - "Wisiska" and " Dog Soldiers ".-

Thanks for your responses dear colleagues.
Yours faithfully, Sergey.

We talk about new projects to friends mr. Park and artist Kim - Seil . And it is always pleasant for me to see their attitude{relation} to work and new projects - always desire to do{make} only is good and excellent{different}. Also I have prepared for the variant an example of a list for wolf - scout. Kim the fine, creative artist, and very much is interested in a history, also have prepared for the variant of a list. It is the excellent{different} approach to work!
Further I shall show some kinds of possible{probable} variants for all details of a figure - I hope it can be useful for painting.
Yours faithfully, Zlobov Sergey.

hey Sergiey
Dave McGary is great sculptor of Native America, have seen his work in detail, in Scottsdale AZ, I especially like his horses! wonderful stuff, and your work has the same quality and feeling! Grinnell is a must for all who want to learn about these Shayela, but Stan Hoig is not bad either - by the way have you seen the ledger books, the most fantastic amount of historical detail drawn by the actual actor, i.e. Cheyenne, Arapaho, Dakota, Kiowa, Comanche warriors
here you can look and save many images, some of the with commentaries
http://plainsledgerart.org/view.pila?PHPSESSID=8f58e32aa52fc1843d36d759e15d5144
Figures - great plans then, lost of room for creativity.
I did some studies on the Cheyenne tribe some time ago, and if can be of assistance to you just let me know - in the name of old Polish-Russian-warrior friendship
I really like your horses, and wish to learn more about sculpting them from your processes.
One observation though, I think you generally make the gaskin too long when compared with the lower leg - hock, cannon etc. But then it may be just the lenses and photo distortion?
anyway, send me an email and I can send you a few thing, perhaps you will find them useful
Dario
by the way great reference images, and your Lakota wolf scout art is great!!
