i think it's like 36" by 24"...
not sure. oil on illustration board.

i thought of this awhile ago...
i might come back to it in the future,
but for now it's expressed what i was
after.

it's my first self portrait in at least 5 years...
of course, my fingers aren't that long. :)

Nice to still see you kickin around Navel_Lint, (dickie ;) ).

Nice image. Not sure about the Jesus imagery here. What are you trying to convey with that?

Doing anymore on the Shroom Goddess front?

You should pop back to elysiun and check out some of the newer stuff. A really nice animation by LohnC, (NEO), is now there. Go check it out.

hey BgDM!
you're the only one so far out of all
the forums i've posted this at who
has caught onto the "jesus" symbolism.
i used to be an extremely devout
christian. i mean hardcore devout.
and then it sorta stopped...but i still
feel stained. stained with what my soul once
held onto...

As far as the Shroom Goddess...
i've written a little more on her story,
and have been working on refinning her...
truthfully, i've been busting on a lot of
stuff for the past little while, and she's
on the plate, but not the main course.

elysiun, i still go there daily...hoping for some groovy
update or bit of news. i downloaded JohnC's movie,
but it was all red and hard to decipher...maybe i had the
wrong codec? i used DivX.

anyhooters, thanks for the feedback man!
my site's down right now, but i've got some
more work up @ deviantART if you're interested.

Navel_Lint: Thanks for the reply!

I can't beleive that I am the only one to catch the symbolism here. It just jumped out at me as soon as I saw it, and I am no christian, or beleiver in any religion for that matter. Thanks for the explanation though.

Great work over at deviat art too. You have a really great, and noticable style that is truly your own.

Glad to hear your still doing stuff on the Shroom Goddess too. Can't wait to see that again.

Keep us updated!!

I love the hands and the mouth!!

Jesus portraits or not very loved on cg.
I posted once a christ drawing, and most of the people dislike it.
Don't know why, cause apart from the religious thing, it's a great character!

love you work!
