Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to the World!!!

^^....My Easter drawing....^^

Yeah, yeah, they're cute and all, but those bunnies and eggs and candy are not the real reasons behind the celebration of Easter. You want to know the true meaning of Easter? Keep reading...

"For all [we humans] have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)

God wants us to be in Heaven with Him, but that can't happen when we are bound by sin. So...

"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son,[to die for us], so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

God's son, Jesus Christ, died for us. His death, the death of one who is sinless, is the price of salvation. He was crucified on a cross and was buried in a tomb. A huge stone was rolled across the tomb's entrance.

"Now, what good is a dead man?" I hear some asking.

The answer: no good! But Jesus Christ didn't stay dead...HE ROSE AGAIN!

That's the reason we have to celebrate!

Hello everyone!

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."
~Confucius

Whew! Talk about a complicated/busy/non-stop life lately... -_- ... I would love it if the world would stop spinning so fast, just for a day. I need more time to draw! 

Anyway, I have been drawing some stuff. These are from the anime (and manga), Code Geass. It's ok, (the anime, I mean) though I think it's mostly aimed at a more mature audience (violence, and mild language...). I like some of the characters, and decided I wanted to draw them, so here are my attempts at:

"Arthur"  --meow!

"Suzaku"

--This is his soldier's uniform; that's why he's so rigid.

"Lelouch" 

--He's fine from the waste up...waste down: too small, IMHO...

"Shirley"

 --She's my favorite! I love how her hair turned out.

I still want to draw some more CG characters, and will post them when I get the time.

...

Just for fun, I'd thought I'd add two Pikachu doodles I made for a friend.

Cuteness speaks for itself...awwww!

Nerdy Pikachu.

Well, that's all for now. Have a joyous Easter!

Adios Amigos!

Manga Shakespeare: Hamlet

Some more digital art...

I'm trying to get used to drawing on a tablet, so I've been drawing character's from one of my favorite manga novels: 

Emma Vieceli's Manga Shakespeare: Hamlet!!!

I love her style. It's clean, simple, and beautiful to look at. Plus, Vieceli was creative: she set the manga in a future setting. Makes the book even more interesting. ;)

The story/dialogue follows very close to Shakespeare's actual play (which I've read for fun to see how close it really was). As you can probably gather from the drawings, Hamlet, is a Tragedy. I would definitely recommend both the manga novel and the play for good literature.

It doesn't get better than the classics!

...Hamlet...

My Favorite Hamlet quotes:

Hamlet: "To be or not to be, that is the question..."

"Hamlet: Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a camel?
Polonius: By the mass, and ‘tis like a camel, indeed.
Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel.
Polonius: It is backed like a weasel.
Hamlet: Or like a whale?

Polonius: Very like a whale.” 

"Polonius [to Laertes]: Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice; 
    Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. 
    Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, 
    But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; 
    For the apparel oft proclaims the man, 
    And they in France of the best rank and station 
    Are of a most select and generous chief in that. 
    Neither a borrower nor a lender be; 
    For loan oft loses both itself and friend, 
    And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. 
    This above all: to thine ownself be true, 
    And it must follow, as the night the day, 
    Thou canst not then be false to any man."

“Hamlet [to Ophelia]: Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.”

...Ophelia...
