Absolutely speechless! In my personal opinion, the best Zapatero creation to present date. He is getting a heck of a recognizable style in 75mm but this one raises his bar a bit higher.

















Jaw dropping miniature to be released by La Meridiana soon! And it's the first of a series of Indian dancers

Wow. Many feathers but great. Super

I know a very good friend of mine that would have been awe struck with this fella.Sadly he's no longer with us .

Looks good, but my anatomy knowledge said there is something not good with the left arm of the figure.
It seems that the muscles aren't well sculpted, otherwise the armpit is turned to much to the front when fixing the arm to the torso.
The triceps isn't not sculpt, and the biceps isn't not there if you compare it with the right arm.
When you lift your arm that way the Musculus Deltoideus (doesn't know any other name) is more puf out then it is shown here.
The Musculus Pectoralis Major is sculped way to much over the armpit.

I cannot sculpt, but this are my observations on this figure.

Lovely figure, but I have to agree with Marc about the anatomy. I think the mistake can be corrected without ruining the piece and screwing up all the feather placement.

Marc - Could you post a few anatomy pictures to illustrate this error?

Such things are really frustrating when you get as far along as Mr. Zapatero is with this piece.

Personally, I had a Turkish lancer body almost completed when I realized I'd made the torso too thick. Now I'm going to have to remove most of the torso and start again. Or - alternatively throw it up against the nearest wall.

All the best,
Dan

WOW that is some piece of work.

Stunning figure. The posing is spot on perfect.

Errors can be corrected. Excellent sculpture, good job. Many possibilities for creativity.

Super!!!

Perfect Subject, İdea and presentation.
Thanks for sharing.
Forever İNDİAN...

What a shame. Sorry for the loss. This is indeed a great figure, and I am excited to hear that it is the first in a series.

As Dan asked



In the left picture you see that the anatomy of the briceps and biceps is more pronounced then the sculpt let see. In the sculpt it is more a circulair arm without muscles.
The right picture shows the whole Pectoralis Major. If the arm is lift the part that is insert into the humerus (upperarm bone) is gonna be strenghed and is gone away from the armpit.
as you see in this picture. It is not covering the armpit.

this fellow is holding the part of the pectoralis major when lifting the arm.....again it is not covering the armpit.



This is how it must be. Forget the range of motions etc, look at the muscles.
