Inspired by Ned Kelly I'm trying to do a few figures from around the world. So I had a go last night at this bull fighter and Napoleon.

Post by: BlackPearl2006 on September 18, 2010, 21:41:07: Cool I like it! Is his jacket all one piece? Or is the breasted area a seperate piece? I love the ornamentation! It even looks like real embroidery! Is this brushwork? I really love this! I want one!

Btw, where do you get that figure base that he is standing on? I keep seeing those and wonder where to get it.

He must be a good bullfighter, I see he's already managed to cut off part of the bull's horns with his sword! ;D

Post by: Emma.J on September 19, 2010, 09:43:48: :wave: Thanks everyone.

I wish I could paint well enough to have done the design, but it's ribbon stuck on his jacket.

This figure was made from a pair of ladies legs - bare feet with white shorts, a mans torso with a shirt and tie, and a very small jacket from a modern woman all repainted.

As to the bull I'd like to say it's got a broken horn as it's a veteran of the street chases they do but really it's the only one I've got :-[

Great haircut!

I didn't see that at first, but after closer inspection Yes!
That was a very convincing change.
Splendid! :)

Post by: BlackPearl2006 on September 20, 2010, 06:09:09: You should do a pic where there's a hamburger stand in the background, and the matador is taunting the bull with the red cape by the stand, as if to suggest his future. I always loved it in cartoons when the bull is bested by the matador, and ends up a pile of sausage links and burgers, lol. Bravo again on your custom! I love it! I really want one!
