For more than a decade now when listening to Borodin's Polovtsian Dances I have a vision of a group of war horses racing through a field, right before the break of dawn. When this piece came on tonight while preparing dinner, I had to drop everything and sit down and draw.
Listen to this particular one of the dances below. You will not be disappointed.
Wanted to confirm using the score I had the name of the correct dance. I never knew it was called The Boys' Dance! It sounds so much more intense to me!
The model this past weekend was super unique. The best way I can describe him is to point you to this image of Magua from The Last of the Mohicans. He even had the mohawk, though I didn't get to it in most drawings.
I just found this marker piece I did back in November, right after CTNx for my good friends Joe and Hanzi the night before I flew back home. We're all big Gargoyles fans!
