After being condemned by the Jews, Jesus was sent to the Roman governor, Pilate. (Under Roman law, the Jews couldn’t kill anyone.)
Pilate saw Jesus’s innocence, so tried to release him. The Jewish crowd, the people who had welcomed Jesus only 5 days prior, was determined that he be crucified. They said if Pilate freed Jesus he was against Caesar, since Jesus claimed to be the King of the Jews. According to custom, Pilate gave the people a choice: Free Jesus Or free Barabbas, a murderer, and a freedom fighter against Rome, the very thing they accused Jesus of. They chose Barabbas.
Though he still believed in Jesus’s innocence, Pilate washed his hands of Jesus’s death and handed him over to be crucified.
Jesus was mocked by his torturers. They dressed him in a crown of thorns and a robe before scourging him. . . . #Jesus #Easter #Christianity #goodfriday #artistsoninstagram #sketchbook https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcbH5rFrzI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bba1piolalxe

end of the year, so time for the art summary
yeah...my drawing amount has been steadily decreasing as the years go by, hasn't it...idk why i didn't sketch anything march/april (i mean Roizen didn't die until like...june i think? so that's not the excuse), but you know, for the constant feeling of "uhg i'm not drawing enough" i was happy to see that i did do more art than i thought. and yeah, sept is allowed since i decided after visiting my boyfriend over labor day that i was going to go to TexRen, so had to prep for that
but otherwise, yeah it's actually been a pretty big year for me. i got a boyfriend at the end of last year, and we're still going strong, he's great; we're talking about me going back to visit next year...and maybe staying. like said, i went on a vacation to go see him, and that gave me the confidence to go to TexRen a month later; i took 2 big girl vacations by myself (as in without family).
my online friday night game group finally finished the 2ish year long Runelords campaign (i joined in the middle of book 1/the start of book 2, so not entirely sure how long exactly it ran for), and we just started a new Crimson Throne campaign. my online saturday night game group is still going strong; this year we started Phandelver and finished it (sadly Roizen died in the middle, but that gave us Varya who i've still yet to draw weirdly enough), and are now on Vecna (with the new '24 rules; it's been interesting). i restarted my Carrion Crown campaign on monday nights after a 5 year hiatus...only for it to be killed off a second time in oct when the whole group went on hiatus. got a wed afternoon game group with my sibling and his friends...but that is really unstable and we haven't played since oct either. i also sorta joined an online sunday night game group, but that's not that regular...but the main big deal is that it's me interacting with new people and i was far less anxious about it.
i also took an art commission job, and am considering trying to open up for those more regularly...
so here's to another year improving as we go i guess. try to get back into being better about art, and keep on working on improving my self confidence with well everything. my year might be coming to an end, but it was a good run that i hope to keep going.
ok but I love how Nandor's actor adds little fangs to his signature :p
told him that and he went "thank you...'fang you!'" lol
Hatsune Miku + Draculaura
Dracumiku
I really like this russian edition of classic books. Letting famous artists do the covers in YA style was such a simple but clever decision. According to the recent study the number of teenage readers increased, possibly thanks to these covers. I own traditional classics with blank covers but if I ever see one of these in the wild, it’ll probably make me go feral.
Here are some of my favs:
Dracula (art by Renibet)
2.Jane Eyre (art by Ulunii)
3. Little women (art by чаки чаки)
4. The Idiot (the hedgehog-omg-) (art by Xinshi)
5. Pride and Prejudice (art by Cactusute)
6. War and Peace (art by Xinshi)
7. Wuthering Heights (art by Renibet)
8. The Great Gatsby (art by NIKEL)
9. Frankenstein (art by Iren Horrors)
10. Crime and Punishment (art by REDwood)
11. Anna Karenina (art by Ulunii)
12. The Cherry Orchard (art by lewisite)
13. The Master and Margarita (art by Renibet)
