Menno Media Series

Scenes from the Life of Jesus Christ
Image 9 of 9

This is the last image from a short series for Menno Media for their Shine curriculum. This is in the morning by the Sea of Galilee. After Jesus had helped his disciples catch a miraculously large haul of fish (153 of them!) they roasted some and lounged around on the beach eating a breakfast of bread and fish.

An outdoor scene set in biblical times. Jesus is sitting with three other men on the beach eating a meal of fish and bread. One man is skewering the fish for roasting over a fire while the other two chat with Jesus. There are baskets overflowing with fish in the foreground, way more fish than they can possibly eat.  In the background you can see a boat floating on the sea with distant hills and a seagull in the sky.

Inktober 2020 #27 – Music

Siren song counts as music, right? I hope so, but really… I just felt like drawing a mermaid. 🙂

It seems like every time I draw water, I do it differently. This style seems pretty good for mid-ocean swells.

A mermaid floats in the ocean in the foreground.  Under the water, you can see her fishtail.  She is singing.  In the distance is a sailing ship.  It's nighttime and a full moon is in the sky.  The image is a black and white ink drawing.

This was a tremendously fun project to do.  The theme, Explore the Unknown, was meant to refer to all sorts of fun cryptozoological, mythical, and sci-fi subjects.  Included in this piece is a UFO with Roswell-style aliens, a unicorn, a big foot, the Loch Ness Monster, a kraken, and a mermaid.  The font is Black Pearl by JoannaVu.
