Description
A portrait of Nat Love/Deadwood Dick for Tiki Machine's upcoming Western-themed art book, which should be debuting at San Diego Comic-Con this year.Nat was a knockout black cowboy with a pretty impressive autobiography and, not being one to give up any chance to draw bison, I decided to draw from the chapter in his book about a Buffalo stampede:
"A Buffalo Stampede--On They Came, a Maddened, Plunging Snorting, Bellowing Mass of Horns and Hoofs."
...So rad. You can check out some more WIP sketches over on the blog , and I'll make sure to let you all know when the book's out and available.

;___; I wish I could afford an art book like that. It sounds fantastic, and if the other submissions are like yours, it would be an amazing opportunity to learn about new styles and colours.
The lineart is brilliant and so fluid! And it should go without saying that your use of colour is exceptional.

This is incredible, the lineat and composition is astounding, I love the colors used and the contrasting tones. You are so impressive, I adore your work and I think the best thing is that each image tells a story and the historical element of each piece is such a joy to me

Hella stylish. Really enjoying the purple pony.
I had a dream a while ago about a gunslinger/cowboy type hero who rode a "Plum Dun" mare.

I read this dude's autobiography, but I didn't expect to find fanart of him -- very cool.

This is simply gorgeous with its clean lines, bright colours and the 'feel' of movement. And the buffalo adds an entirely new dimension to the whole job, both aesthetically and meaningfully. Beautiful, beautiful work.

the colors are so gorgeous, and totally give the portrait a 'western' feel. The linework and composition are also great. The expressions on the horse and bison are so strong that I do wish Nat's expression was a little less muted and more expressive, but the body language and sense of movement are incredible- I really like it

Aaaahh, he shouldn't be so hard to pull the reins! The western bridles are so sharp and hard in action, it acts as a lever., it can break the horse's mandible D:
However I really like this drawing, is very dynamic.
