Multiple drawings and poses of Yona, a Black female pastor, in action: exorcising spirits, confronting someone, anointing a door, reading a book, and a simple portrait.

Yona, a widowed pastor with the gift of exorcism and word of knowledge from God, works as a private investigator in paranormal cases outside her ministerial duties and raising her son and her younger cousin.

Yona, a Black woman & pastor with a satchel at her side, anoints a doorway for protection from sinister spirits.
Yona, wearing a preacher's shirt & collar, short tan jacket and a dark skirt, looks behind while holding a book in her hands.

Some more Yona doodles for today. Studious in her research and cautious in her line of work when it comes to paranormal investigations.

Mary, mother of Jesus, looks straight at the viewer with a caring gaze.  She wears a red robe with a green head covering enveloping her upper body.  A golden halo shines behind her head.

I remember seeing a small statue of Mary here some.months ago & wanted to interpret it may own way. She's still one of the go-to biblical figures I love to draw again & again.

A teenage girl, Josiana, and her little half-sister, Tishakel stand in a church and smile together.  Josiana is looking towards the viewer's right while Tishakel looks towards her older sister with three pews, a lamp, and two windows behind them.

The way this is gonna take forever to do is a sure sign I'm going to Learn A Lot From This.

[Featuring OCs, Josi & Tisha, who are half-sisters.]

Maron Kusakabe looks straight at the viewer from behind (presumably at Chiaki, her canonical love interest) sticking her tongue out while pulling part of her eyelid down with dissatisfaction.

Blow a raspberry at him for me, Maron.

Maureen, a young black woman wearing a red headband, white tank top, a black miniskirt, red leg warmers, and black boots.  She is presented with various expressions: happy, alert, tired, cutesy, and concerned.  She also is shown running and looking at her phone.  She is also presented in a chibi version of her holding a processional cross.
Maureen turning towards the viewer, alert.
Maureen talking and holding a cup of soda pop, pointing somewhere behind her.
Maureen looking towards someone with a rather cutesy expression like she's asking for something.
Maureen smiling while her hair fashioned in short length cornrows swing around her.

Maureen expression and gesture practice.

The Shekinah is personified as a young woman, drawn in colored pencil and painted in watercolor.  She has red wavy hair and eyes, brown skin, and she wears a white dress with long sleeves puffed at the shoulder.  She interacts with the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove as a friend and companion.  One image shows her sitting with the Spirit coming to perch on her hand.  Another shows her sitting at a well pouring itself out while the Spirit hovers over her.

Some of my paintings of my friend @bielzabussy's design of the Shekinah from last year.

Maureen talks on a necklace unseen to the viewer in her hand while carrying her jacket with her other hand.  She asks, "So, get tardy for chapel to get you some gummies?"  In the bottom right, there is a panel shown of a gargoyle named Guiscard who is annoyed by her question from his offscreen suggestion.
Maureen and Yeva are in their clerical uniforms.  Maureen comically pats and slaps Yeva on the back, who is a little surprised at Maureen's strength.
Maureen, a young Black woman, holds a brown wooden cross with a purple scarf draped around it against a pinkish background and white borders.

Maureen. Preacher's daughter, friend of gargoyles, kicker of demon booty.

Sister Annunciata, who is dressed as a Dominican nun, holds red roses in joy while in a garden with an arched wall, where behind it is a green forest.

Sister Annunciata in a garden.

My first time really putting effort into a background for a scene.

Mary, mother of Jesus, is drawn in green colored pencil with her hand on her chest, looking directly at her viewer with love.  She has a mole around her eyebrow, below her lips around her chin, her nose, and the bottom of her eye.  She is enveloped around her headcovering.

A sketch of Mary of Nazareth that I saw based on a picture of a little statue I saw of her on here but with my own little design of her. I'll need to get around to my watercolor paints with this one soon.

An angel, dressed in a green robe with a gradient of lime green to darker green hair, shields itself in its purple, light blue sparkled wings in prayer against a background of darker green waves.

Sometimes warfare isn't done with swords.

And Behold, There Was A Man In Jerusalem Whose Name Was Simeon, And This Man Was Just And Devout, Waiting

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

- The Gospel of Luke 2:25-26

A sort of old piece I submitted for my alma mater's student ran academic magazine. Really proud of my progress at that point.

Jesus Christ in the Jordan River has his arms folded over his chest, slightly bowed, as the Holy Spirit as a dove descends upon him towards his right shoulder.

When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus was also baptized; and while he prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased."

- The Gospel of Luke 3:21-22

I was really working myself to the bone on this one a couple years ago. Sort of can't believe it's 2 years old now, but I still have a fondness for this one. The sketch is a bit older, though, as I drew it during chapel at Bible college.

Tzadkiel, an angel with a long purple ponytail and wearing a halo behind them, looks at the viewer while a bright, shining star is in the background of the night sky.

My current icon with an angelic character of mine, Tzadkiel, that I made in mind for a Christmas card for last year.
