Description
As beautifully summarized by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Philippian church (Philippians 2: 5-11).Done for my mum (our Chinese congregation's youth pastor) who's going with a short-term missions team to Cambodia. She'll be preaching on this passage and the comic will act as a visual aid to help the people understand the passage better. : )

Am really thankful to God for letting me work through this technically-3-day project (urg... 5 am....... 5 am......) . It's been a thoughtful journey... and my first proper attempt at doing a complete comic...
Yes I know it's only one page. We all have to start somewhere, ya? >u<
Among many things, I've been quite concerned when it came to drawing Jesus. I was afraid of not being able to
1) draw him accurately/recognizably.
2) draw him such that his personality would be seen, and it won't just look like a flat drawing.
I'm amazed at how some artists are able to portray Jesus' characteristics so believably. Just glad I had some pictures to analyze before doing my attempt of a dear person I've not seen before with my own two eyes! hee....
Well, he's been gracious to me, allowing me to draw him quite successfully not once, but 7 times! ^.^ *wiggles with gladness*
All in all, this comic isn't about the beauty of the artwork. It's about delivering a truth that matters, not only to me, but to people all around the world.
I hope this would be part of a (future) multitude of visual aids to help people understand who Jesus Christ really is... with no misgivings or misconceptions... so that they may come to realize just how much Jesus loves them... and come to love him too.
I would try to explain the excerpt... but that would take 2 x Bible studies. XD
cheers! thanks in advance for ur thots!
I gotta go pack for camp now XD hahah... will be aways for 3 days~ aaaaaaaaaah~~~ mini-vacation~

it's Beautiful, just beautiful. I'm a Christian with a short temper when God isn't respected. You captured my soul with this drawing. Christ said to love each other, and I love you for this.

Your artwork is lovely! And the message and the to-the-point flow of the page work really well together.
I genuinely hope this helps your mother touch hearts for Christ in Cambodia! And may she have a safe trip there and back again!

I know how you feel about drawing Jesus. I'm always afraid that I could never draw Him well enough or accurately. I however, think you did a very great job at it. Excellent job.
I love how you transformed such Biblical works into a comic. very creative and inspiring!

thanks for the thoughts and encouragements :3 i guess to combat the fear of not drawing him properly... we gotta... draw him more XD hope there'll be more opportunity to do that~

This sounds cheesy, but I cried when I read this. I was already really emotional about something beforehand, and this really tipped me over the edge. Thanks so much for the experience.

Jesus is indeed awesome.
Also, let me say I love the angel standing behind Jesus in the last panel, playing the tambourine. His face is pure win.
Faving.

*hugs you* Kudos on putting this up, keeping it up, and not getting too horribly bogged down by all the...interesting...discussion going on. There is a time and a place for religious discussion, but I don't think it's on someone's deviation, unless they ask for it.
I love it very much. I'm in a spiritual hole at the moment (my first actual crisis of faith) and seeing something like this done so well does my heart good. Merci beaucoup. ^^

Awesome!
you know what's odd? That I seem to understand more about the bible than most. The bible says to understand/ to learn about christ, not just to follow blindly. Unfortunity, not every one understands what is written.

Beautifully done=] The message is simply put and easy to understand and the artwork is marvelous=] You can really see the kindness and humbleness in Jesus' face, which I consider a great accomplishment since I lack the skill to draw stick figures successfully. My creative mediums are words, which I like to think I wield quite well. I could be wrong, of course=]
Bottom line, my little unprofessional opinion is that you did a fabulous job and should continue.
God Bless!
