Good morning everybody. Today's drawing is the latest in my Sunday Sermon Series. This week Pastor Mike talked about the crucifixion. It was a dark hour, but in that darkness Jesus shined.
Jesus prayed for another way, but accepted his father's will. Since the beginning of time he was meant to be the great rescue plan for us, and he did it. For me, and for you. He wants a relationship with me, and with you.
Here are some verses that Mike used: 1 Corinthians 4:6-9 In dark places God reveals His Son in and through us. John 12:23-28 When the hour turns dark stay focused on the goal. John 12:32-36 When our hearts harden we stumble in unbelief. John 13:23-28 Serving those who misunderstand or even betray us. John 13:12-17 Serving with a right heart dispels darkness in my heart.
The text at the bottom of the illustration is something new I learned from the sermon. I had always thought that when Jesus said "It is finished." he just meant that he was dying, that the crucifixion was over. I had never heard about the "Paid in Full" phrase/definition from Jesus' time. It's always important to keep in mind the culture of the times you are reading/studying about. Otherwise you can completely miss an important point. I am so thankful that my debt is paid in full.
As always this drawing was done with pencil in my sketchbook, then I scanned it, and used several layers in PhotoShop to paint the color, and lighting effect. As always I used muted colors, a very ingrained part of my style. This drawing has little detail though, because I wanted to focus on the light in the darkness. None of us like to go through hard times, times that test our faith. But it is in those times that we mature in our faith. Those times show the people around you who Jesus is. Who he can be to them.
I hope you enjoyed this drawing, feel free to leave a comment, or ask me a question. Thank you again for stopping by. Have a great day, and God bless. --Ryan

Today playing the character game with a bunch of other illustrators from the Kidlit Cafe on Facebook, inspired by Character Design 101 workshop from NESCBWI 2012 led by Kelly Light.
Draw some weird shapes and make up some characters!

cool! I did it also. Wasn't it fun. We both did doggies on the top left corner! I did not go out of the lines though. I made it a bit more tough on myself! I think I will try it again at some point! Love your characters! well done!
“We’re really super happy today ’cause we gots a big announcement. Acey-san and Z-bot helped us a lot when those mean Halloween monsters attacked, and so we decided that Gamepowa should be part of our site all official and stuff!”
“And so I said that Acey and Z-bot should have their own character pages like us so Talitha made one for them! It’s Acey and Z-bot of the Starship Hana!“
“Welcome to the Goofy Bird show, Space girl! Good to have you guys orbiting the planet checking out all the coolest game tech, even if I can’t understand what Z-bot is talking about half the time.”
“Heh.”
“We’re honored to be a part of the best site on the web, game fans! Z-bot and I will do our best to make the Gamepowa category rock! A big salute from the crew of the Hana!”
“Check out the Gamepowa Store too. That’s where Acey and Z-bot put all of the great games they review. They’ve got over 300 games in the store now.”
“That’s affirmative.”
“Sugoi sugoi sugoi!”
“Our store has all the best games too!”
“Yay for Gamepowa! Go read all their neat articles, minna-san! All of Acey-san and Z-bot’s articles are in the Gamepowa Category that Talitha-chan set up. Have fun!”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, what about the most important thing?”
“Calculations are accurate to 12 decimal places Commander. The Magical and Mysterious World of LadyStar had more visits and more pageviews in October than in any other month with this site format. Further, yesterday, October 31st, the site had more visits and pageviews than any other day with this site format.”
“Outstanding. I’m sure Cici and her friends will be glad to hear it. Thanks for making October our best month everybody. The crew of the Hana salutes you! Acey out.”
“Z-bot to Hana on priority channel. Z-bot to Hana. Come in.”
“Hana, Acey here. Report position, Z-bot.”
“Position unknown. Surrounded by a large crowd of people at a musical performance. Decibel levels approaching tolerance limits. Standing by for instructions.”
“Engage your audio filters. Stand by for evasive action if crowd becomes frantic.”
“Affirmative, Commander. Audio filters engaged. Auxilliary transmitter power engaged. Stand by to receive data on priority comsat channel Epsilon 998.”
“Switching… Comsat is go, Z-bot. Begin transmission.”
“Long-range sensors have detected a new release for the Nintendo Wii. Preliminary estimates are for a five-star rating.”
“Alert. Key change detected in current muscial number. Decibel levels passing tolerance. Audio filters cannot compensate. Crowd becoming…”
“Z-bot! Come in! Z-bot! Better go pre-order this game before that crowd gets loose, folks. I’ve got to go recover Z-bot. Deploying auxilliary engines. Hana out.”
“Pastel color wavelength modifications to primary electromagnetic sensor array have detected a new contact designated Barbie: 12 Dancing Princesses. Standing by with telemetry.”
