Cheyenne Dog Soldier – Part 3

Cheyenne Dog Soldier – Part 3

Just a few more details…..I only have to flesh out the lance and shield and it will be time to start work on all those feathers.  Took me two days to paint this fella only to have most of the beading details covered up by that necklace!  Oh well, at least I know it’s all under there somewhere so that’s what’s important.

The tip of the lance is pounded copper which gives it the appearance of a flint spear point.  I will add some feathers to the top and bottom areas and also do some feather and hair decoration on the shield.  Not really sure if that shield design is one a Dog Soldier would use but I like it and once the detail is added it ought to look real sharp.

So, after I finish my baloney sandwich it’s back to the shop to pluck some feathers. 

Comments welcome as always.
