Thanks guys, glad you like it. It is indeed a holster designed for the Mauser gun. I simply love the look of it, it was also the inspiration and base for Han Solo's blaster in Star Wars.
Good eye, you spotted the mirroring. There's a quite simple (boring) explanation for it, when I draw I use an old artists trick where I mirror the image many times during the painting process, just to get a fresh look on it. It makes it possible to see errors even when you've stared at the thing for a long time. So no deep thoughts have gone into that sorry
I like the idea though that he's a leftie, I think I also placed the holster on that side because then it would be visible, instead of on his other hip where it would be hidden partially in this pose.
I could be wrong, but couldn't Forrestal be British? I remember Indy's jacket zipper being on the 'wrong' side because it was made in England where it's opposite of the American standard? Maybe it's the same with buttons? I don't know.
Thanks for all the replys! Any other Indy characters that have limited or no screentime that you'd like to see a rendition of? Abner Ravenwood maybe?
