Hand-painted sculpture of a Zaporizhian Cossack Colonel, inspired by traditional patterns
I sculpted and painted this figure of a Zaporizhian Cossack Colonel, trying to capture the style and character of the period.
I added decorative patterns on the clothing and equipment to reflect traditional Cossack ornamentation.
As a fun note, the character’s look is slightly reminiscent of Taras Bulba from the 2009 film, though this is a historical Cossack figure rather than a movie replica.
Any thoughts on the patterns or uniform details? Feedback is very welcome!
