Artist's Comments

My father is full-blooded Polish. I've made an Avatar that was based around my native american/mexican blood (mothers side), but I wouldn't dare leave out my father's.

I am VERY proud of my Polish heritage. Especially my grandfather who fought in Midway, and the majority of the major Pacific battles in World War 2.

In honor of my heritage and bloodline, and the fatherland of Poland, I created this little TekTek avi of a Polish Hussar. It's obviously not terribly accurate, but I LOVE how it came out, and think it looks plenty good. Especially the wings. Gotta love the Winged Hussars! (and the sound those feathers make...)

too small ...errr. it is an avatar ...

nice japanese outfit

actually hussars' wings were taken from Mongolian troop invading Poland (Genghis Khan and so on).

those wings prevented soldiers from lassos (rope couldn't reach sb's kneck(neck?) and caught a feathers only. (Mongolian riders could catch knight on a rope and pull him down, suffocate or turn him int oa slave).

it would be fantastic to see similiar work but with red skirt (in a Roman infantry style) plus golden cross on the breast and turkish/german warhammer in the second hand - that sabre is wonderful - very true and nice looking

yes i am Polish and I like that military unit and i like your deviantart too :)

Um. Thanks. I think. Anyhoo, I did say it wasn't very accurate.
Gaia Avatars don't really get much other than Japanese. There are Egyptian things now though.
Um, but thanks?

um sorry, maybe I was too harsh, but I really like that piece of art.
it looks nice, wings and armor .
I really don't now wjat are the rules on Deviant- what are the rules of commenting.
I simply write whta I think.

BTW - I think those wings are looking too "sttraight" (like set on a wall) . That warrior isn't en face, so the wings should be slightly different. one should be 'closer'than the other.

lol, it's alright, don't worry about being too harsh. ^^;; I was just confused a bit. Again, TekTek.com is NOT the best place to make historically accurate avatars unless it's (at the moment) Japanese, Egyptian, or western European. (english etc..) I just wanted to make a Polish Hussar, because I've been on a major mood for my father's bloodline/history etc... lately.

I have moved this to scraps because Candybar Dolls or Dolls created on a Dollmaker site may only be displayed in your Scraps and nowhere else on the site. Here is a link to the relevant dA policy. FAQ #502: Can I submit 'Dolls' or 'Characters' which I made on certain websites?
