This is Yeshua (Jesus) from my graphic novel "The Reign of God." I did this illustration for a blog article I wrote on how the historical Jesus might have looked and clothed like. So I paid attention to 1st century Judean clothing, colors and fitting physical features.
Outlines were done with a brush pen. Colors are all digital, with Photoshop.
For the comic, I did a lot of ink, water color and acrylic paint coloring, but these days I enjoy digital coloring. I feel practice slowly makes me better!

Thanks for your encouraging words, everyone! I'll do more character studies on the apostles in the next months.
I echo Brien: your historical research really do paint out the visual from Isaiah 52-53. Well done!
Impressive research; and the results in your book(Reign of God http://www.thereignofgod.com/home/buy/ ) are equally impressive. Well done!
Inspiring art!!!
