Question though, are those hairy balls growing out of the bottom of jesus's horn?

He's playing the balls flute. It is a particularly difficult instrument to play properly. I always thought it would be easy until I vanquished a bottle of gold label with a guy I used to be in a band with and woke up with a bruised throat. True story. 

That cat's a super villain, he's leading them all to ruin.
That cat's a hero ridding us all of bleating believers.
I wonder how often he's used that lead them over the cliff and grab the stick trick?

I tried to extract this information from him but he only talks when it is time for his fancy feast.

I'm more into hard lined graphics but might get the wild hair every now and then to participate in the (in my case attempting to) draw the suggested image exercise.

I've seen different treatments of this thing.
I don't think I've ever seen one with a priest appearing on the back of man at some point.
I'd like to see a straight backed primate/man and then a bent backed one carrying a priest/god.

I made this post a little while ago, not as complicated as most suggestions but priest jockeys would have other possibilities.  There could be spectacular cavalry charges, or sharp slaps with crop for the prophylactic reaching hand.

SUGGESTIONS!!!


Last night I got drunk and drew a pony, but tonight I'm definitely doing something for this thread. 3hrs+ of me trying to figure out how to paint with oily chalk.

Priest-jockey could be interesting. I'll do some concept sketches on my lunch break. If I'm not as good as Matt, that just means I have to try harder, right?

Jesus rode donkeys which are much like ponies.
Then he left them to the cruel hands of men.
Is heaven open to ponies, NO I don't think so.

I heard somewhere, not sure where but I'm sure it was beyond doubt that horses were heading towards extinction at man's hand, then man discovered he could sit on them.

I think the time has come for angry ponies.

Yeah, the Priest-Jockey idea is really funny.

If you get frustrated with pastels (they are kind of messy for someone accustomed to digital platforms) you should try these: http://www.prismacolor.com/products/art-markers/double-ended. They are nice and graphic and they come in a wide spectrum of colors.

I have a lot of those because we used them for renderings in architecture studio.  I never was very good with them though so I mainly used them for outlining and filled in with colored pencil then switched to digital as soon as we were allowed to do so.

Pastels and I never got along very well either...I do a lot better with things I can erase or that look good if they are messy.

Hmmm, that's what I drew yesterday, actually

I got some solid sketches on the jockey thing, but I'm currently failing horribly at trying to paint them.

My new drawing tablet should be getting here Friday. I've tried the prismacolors before and I like them a lot better than this pastel buisiness, to tell the truth (but I'm even worse at using them   )

there are some really great pictures on this thread. I'm looking forward to seeing the priest jockey, I hope he's whipping the poor man carrying him into submission with his crucifix in a zealous frenzy, while weighing him down with all manner of papist gold!

Here's another idea:

Dionysus stuck at midnight on Sunday in a city with Blue State liquor laws, venting his wrath by sicking his Maenads on a local liquor store.

Well, almost. My stupid cat made some revisions while I was at work. He's always compromising my vision. He has histrionic personality disorder and his therapist says not to expect any progress until he decides he is ready to talk about it. He is also responsible for the poorly rendered perspective.

I'm going to have to award the most prestigious award of all awards eventually, but I hesitate for now.  What if achieving such an honour leaves your remaining life meaningless, all creativity lost to despair?

So I will only offer a glimpse of the ultimate accolade, to encourage all to greater efforts.

Someday, as a consequence of untold hours of hard work and sheer will-power – I yearn to be the recipient of this subtle yet dignified koalicon of cyber achievement.
