I always wanted to paint something allegoric to religion. This illustration started just as a simple practice, wanting to get the handle of Old Masters (hah, as if... ). There's no art that inspires me as much as Boticelli's or Bouguerau's, to name a few, and I was thinking that it would be awesome that a contemporary artist was born to mimic that style (if someone knows that artist, please let me know).
So in my attempt to mimic that, I did this. I know it's still full of mistakes and it's way too far away from the image it was originally in my head, but still, I'm tired of this piece and I want to move on to another one.
I took references from everywhere, from old paintings to my own body. Some refences came from from sxc.hu as well.
I want to thank all my friends for not rolling their eyes everytime I sent a WIP xD And special thanks to for her composition eye and the dove suggestion.
WOOOO You are back with avengence, May I love that face! You really did capture that rennaisance look in the expression. The pastel colours in the fluourescent background is also very painterly and gorgeous. Great job!
Wow, that's amazing! ah, but jesus is a shepard, he is a shepard to all of human kind *philosophical look* lol can't go to a catholic school for 4 years and not learn something XD the lambs are adorable! ha ha. jesus is pretty darn cute himself great pic!

Good work May! It seems an old renaissance painting, really! And it also remind me those little old holy images of Saint we used here. I don't know if you know them, on the back there's a prayer... The Italian name is 'santino', I don't know the name in English... ^_^;;
Love the texture on sheep's coat, so soft, so real...!
This is such a great work...although I'm not a religious person,but this work really captured my full attention!
This really reminds me to te old paintings anyway...

Reality is for people who can't handle role-playing games.
I like how you changed the sheep's expression during the process.
Thanks for sharing the 100% versions too
