The Build
This was done as a favor for a friend of mine who is a member of the Tłı̨chǫ or Dogrib Tribe (a first nations people of Canada). The name Nöht'ò Nôdi translates to “sharp wolf”.
I started with the Lak Sivrak figure. I added a custom bow made from random parts, and I used stretched clear sprue for the arrow. I mounted the figure on part of a rock mold.
