raquelpaper

On the subway once I witnessed this lady vomiting across from me and while everyone else was snickering...gossiping...covering their faces...etc...I fealt Christ was urging me to help her by cleaning or at least covering the messy area with the art paper I had in my backpack and even wiping off her face for her...sadly I was too scared like Peter being afraid of the wind to help and I left the train leaving her the way she was still going as far as I know...I'm always missing such opprotunities even if I don't realize them until afterwards...but when I do I still make sure I try out the idea on my Omega Vixen (I'll possibly change that title to something more modest sounding :help!:), Raquel...of course this is a school setting and the student's just sick becuase my dad warned me of not making Raquel an "Enabeler..." This is just a sketch of course I may actually ink paint this concept out sometime...this really lets me appreciate those special effects (2d) animators who could animate vomit in detail and make it look releastic but not ramdomly moved about shapes...don't ask me what type of dog that is I just made him terra cotta because I used the same outline pencil on the whole comp and I didn't want him lookling like vomit 0_o...

I could only guess but her bile smelled of beer...oh course I could go for any of the above if I do manage to write this in...but God doesn't want me writing right now for some reason...

I think this would be an excellent addition to Raquel's story. At some point you have to establish why the lady got sick, as it will steer the whole direction of the story. Assuming there is no environmental cause like fumes (I've never gotten motion sick on a rail system; they are a pretty smooth ride), is she drunk? Is it food poisoning? Does she need to go to the hospital? Is she reacting badly to cancer treatment? Is she simply overcome with grief and fear? If so, is she also mentally ill?

Thanks Mike. And for anyone who wants to critique this; I am aware that Raquel doesn't look as responsive to this guy's needs as she should be and have already started a more understanding version (Raquel's on one knee even!).

I think we all missed opportuniies to be witnesses of Christ in some way shape or form. ( So much as you have done for these, you have done for me.-Jesus )
We must work through our shame and guilt and ready ourselves for the next time that we can be a hand for Jesus. Certainly putting it on paper and drawing/writing about it can help. As artists we can work out how we would have liked to have done better and imagine ourselves to be more brave. And someday live out the convictions placed in us by the Holy Spirit.
