The Fat Indian Man

After looking at some photographs of some uniformed men, I decided I wanted to create an almost cartoon character based on the uniforms. Typically I have pictured a uniformed indian soldier holding a bit of weight. And so I began sketching him:

Obviously this didn't make for a very good picture on it's own so I also thought of implimenting this image into a black and white photograph. I scanned and coloured him.

Eventually I placed it onto a nice black and white photograph of a 19th century home, assuming this is one from India as it was from the 'Stones of Empire' book.
