Wars End- Broadway Landing

[Zuzah]

Just checked out your albums - Those Mountain Howitzer tubes (my absolute favorite of all the field pieces) are not done justice until colorized by a professional such as yourself.

Amazing work!

When i make my million, i want to employ you full-time colorizing Indian Wars images, haha.

You and @Zuzah are absolute artists.

I'll be sure to clear my schedule if you give me due warning

Thanks so much for your comments on our work. I do have some images of Indians in the "People" section. They are kind of random, but there is five (at the moment) in their. You can find Zuzah's images here. He has done several Native American images, but I did not see any in the ones he has posted on my site.

Haha, how 'bout you start NOW, for $500,000.
I'll write you a check!

There's 2 here, one is Sitting Bull, and one is an unidentified Native American Chief.

Made out of the finest rubber, I presume?

Thanks for directing me towards both of those!

Get in line I saw him first!

There were also the wooden versions improvised from the stumps and logs of trees at Vicksburg! They were banded with iron hoops from barrels to keep them from being split apart from the discharge. There's a small line drawing of one in use reproduced in Battles and Leaders.

Nice!

Gotta admit, at least they afforded at least a bit of a force multiplying effect... as opposed to the 'Quaker Artillery' that both sides occasionally liked to put on display!

My favorite being Canby's use of them at Fort Craig, naturally.

I did a colorized version of a Quaker gun. You can find the thread on it here.

Glad to help, I will let you know when I see your orders come though!

Thanks for sharing those, I always loved the Native American Chief that you did, just looks so great.

Haha, great work!

I always loved this image, the Quaker alone would have been awesome, but a member of a 'quaker crew' demonstrating touchhole finesse? And the fact that they even did a relief cut to simulate it? That's PRICELESS!

Thanks, it is one that I wanted to do for a long time. I had started on it 3-4 years ago, but was really taken back by the number of leaves on the ground and how to get them to not all look the same. Took a while to figure that out and finally finished it last year.

Awesome work, great attention to detail.

Here is Bone Necklace I did a while ago.

I restored the color photo then changed it to B&W!

[Mike Serpa]

Awesome!

Yes, thank you. It took a lot of detailed hard work to change it from color to B&W.

Funny you mention that, I actually did the same, but colorized it to be more saturated and true to life

Still a novice at the time, so the result isn't perfect.

I got to fire one of those at a living history presentation last summer. I also got to fire a repro 3 inch ordnance rifle. When we were approaching the field where the guns were my wife saw the mortar and said "what a cute little cannon." Bless her heart.

You should make her read the Sharpe novels by Bernard Cornwell. After that she will recognize a mortar when she sees one! And what these "cute cannons" can do!

Yesterday I went back and make several technical revisions to make it more period correct and had it reviewed by some artillery experts.

Amazing work, as always! Congratulations!
Could you please enlighten this ignorant here: In what way did you need artillery expert advice on the colorization and what is the problem with period correctness regarding colorization?
Please forgive my ignorance and take it as a compliment - the picture looks so perfect that I cannot imagine it to be done otherwise. It's perfect, it's true, this is what it looked like then ...
Maybe that is the dark side of perfection: only a few will recognize what it took the artist to achieve it.
This is equally true four you, @Zuzah and you, @Mike Serpa

Well, I couldn't resist doing a little mansplaining and now I think she has a better understanding (or will at least refrain from commenting on artillery in the future without some forethought concerning the consequences).
