odinsgrandson Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 This is my very first foray into religious artwork- so long as we aren't counting Paladins, Clerics, Menite scrutators, avenging angels of destruction, ancient Greek religious icons... well, you know- stuff.This is a statue by Angela Johnson that I painted up (she also sculpted a larger than life size version in bronze that'll be in the Thanskgiving Point gardens).Overall, I was really taken by the expression she got on him, and I really wanted to make that work in the painting. It isn't all the time that we see a Jesus be so expressive.I also posted him up to CMON for those of you who care to vote. I'm honestly really wondering what the meta is like for religious art over there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 The subject is not to my tastes but the painting is really good. My only suggestion would of been to soften the shading between differing clothing because I find blacklining a bit too simplistic a painting technique personally.

valhallan42nd Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 It's a great paint job over all, certainly above my abilities. I'm concerned with the face, though. He looks pensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odinsgrandson Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Maybe he just realized that his alignment doesn't align with the other resser masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
