This is the fourth image in a short series for Menno Media for their Shine curriculum. At the Last Supper, Jesus insists on washing Peter’s feet despite Peter’s protests that he shouldn’t. It shows the importance Jesus placed on humility and service.
This is image three for a short series for Menno Media for their Shine curriculum. This is where Jesus performs the miracle of resurrecting Lazarus. The two women are Lazarus’ sisters.
This is the second of nine illustrations for a short series for Menno Media for their Shine curriculum. Here we see a scene from the story of the woman at the well. I illustrated this story once before in a previous project for a different client. This is where Jesus tells the woman about who he is and about the figurative water he is offering in the form of his salvation.
I recently completed a short series for Menno Media for their Shine curriculum. This series illustrates 9 scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. This first one shows Jesus and Mary in attendance at a wedding feast. I believe this is the one at Cana where he turns water to wine.
Last one. Opposite the page where she loses her temper, she apologizes for losing her temper and her friend forgives her.
It’s a full-page illustration with bleeds around the top, bottom, and right edges.
I might have lied. This one might be my favorite image of the series. The narrator lady has lost her temper and is cussing at her friend. I really liked drawing the angry pose and the profanity symbols. I was particularly proud of that cartoony skull.
This is a full-page illustration for page 19, which puts it on the left side of the book with the quarter inch bleed along all edges except on the right.
This illustration depicts four villagers sharing a meal and chatting after Jesus has left their village.
Then Jesus hung around a few days…
This is the last illustration that actually has Jesus in it. The remaining images only show the villagers. As with the others, His face is intentionally not shown.
Page 14 has just one panel. It shows villagers walking out to the well where Jesus is standing and preaching to the crowd. Some villagers sit or kneel on the ground at His feet. I gave Jesus a slight halo because it seemed on theme. Notice the rope, abandoned vase, and empty box by the well? Those details came from earlier in the story.
This last panel on page 13 shows most of the people of the village abandoning whatever they were doing to go listen to what Jesus has to say.
I was careful to keep the inside layout of the village consistent with what it looks like from the outside.
