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.

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.
