Much talent evident here....excellent pencil work.
Things you should never say when pulled over by the police:

This is truly beautiful artwork ... and its content ... the sacrifice of Jesus for us ... is beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing this.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. Groucho Marx.
I like the drawing for its values, and I like the paintings for theirs. I prefer the cold eyes myself. Oddly enough in the paintings my eyes were drawn to the nail through his right hand.
But enough of the blah, blah blah... beautiful art, thank you for sharing.
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.

Thanks for the kind comments.
Any crits are welcomed - helps me improve.

I've only just seen this and you won't get any criticism from me. Notwithstanding the religious theme which is neither here nor there, it is nevertheless an oustanding study of pain and suffering and the agony of betrayal. I wish I had your talent.
Looks good to me. The symbolism is evident, but most religious art is that way.
Hi Horseman,
I thought I had posted a comment earlier, but I couldn't find it so guess I just thought I did. Anyway I'll try and remember some of my earlier post.
Part of the reason you like the pencil drawing better than the painting is because the center of interest has shifted in the painting. This is because of the nail is the lightest and brightest area of the painting thus shifting the center of interest to the nail (the drawing does not have this problem). Cropping appears to be a simple and effective fix. If you want the right hand and nail to remain in the painting then the fix might not be so simple or...it might be as simple as slightly lightening the dark area under the nail and toning down the nail. Both only slightly though until the center of interest hopefully shifts back to where you want it, which, may require some additional reworking as well, so seems to me like the cropped solution is the best.
Anyhow I personally prefer the cropped version but I think both the painted and pencil versions are great, very good use of texture and color.
I really enjoy your work Horseman, thanks for posting.
Your friend,

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
