Now I am thinking to open a thread.. where you guys should think of selling this type of art.. I am sure you will get customer... Let me know what do you think ??

I am very lucky to have such talented members on WildFact.. we have many here who are great in animal art..

Thanks a lot @sanjay yeah they pretty much get stolen on internet but I am in a dilemma if i do copyright i will have to put my real name right? If so, i think it's fine, they can't get the real art anyway, what's would be your suggestion on how to do it?

That will be great if someone is interested in buying art,  but mind you I haven't got that many to fill the thread and some are not that good for selling. Yeah there may be other members also. i think anyone interested in art or wildlife or any organization working with wildlife could be a potential  client, i myself am involved in exhibitions in different organization but that is a part time thing as it is very difficult to do art and earn enough money. Currently i am in archeology, Anyway these are my views.

No way, i think iam really fortunate  to be part of this community and enjoy diverse opinions, feeds from you all :)

Have you heard about general John Nicholson (1821-1857), a legendary British officer in India, who according some sources hunted tigers only with ..... sword, probably the only man in the Raj capable of such a feat.

"After long days of hunting down rebels, jumped on a horse, grabbed a sword and went tiger hunting - that's right tigers. This feat, was performed by riding round and round the tiger at a gallop, gradually narrowing the circle until at last the swordsman is near enough to deliver his blow. The tiger, it is said, follows the flying figure of the horseman, waiting an opportunity to spring upon him, but eventually becomes too bewildered to act."

@Jimmy , having an obvious painting talent maybe you can try to draw a dramatic scene of hunting of tiger by this desparately brave man and even offer your picture to some British newspapers, I don't know about somebody tried to do this yet? The only weapon Nicholson used was a cavalry officer sword model 1840's-1850's, probably same used in Crimean war; and of course a horse. This man was 2 m tall and had a Hercules body building. Here you can see some images of John Nicholson:

 @Rishi  @Pckts   do you have more info about Nicholson, do you think hunting of a tiger only with cold weapons is something real, or these are only legends?

In wiki is written:
"Horses and camels were used by cavalry officers in the 17th century India, which they found to be more reliable and less unpredictable than elephants. After chasing the tigers to exhaustion, the riders would gallop around the tigers in ever decreasing circles, and then kill the tiger with a sword.[2] " Reply
