There is a new character beside the main bad guys who is vital to my main character’s story. Ever meet those people who claim to be Christians and while they appear to be so perfect on the outside, they are really not people of Christ’s love?
Jesus tells us that without love, we are like a clashing cymbal, a gong of noise. In other words we are just meaningless talk. After my main character rises again from his fall, this woman treats him with religious rejection. She is about her image, her agenda, and she starts to push him away from the church. She is not a true Christian at heart but is a religious legalist, a Pharisee.
One thing people like her have a problem with is manipulation and control. The Bible says control issues are comparable to witchcraft, and that is a definite no-no! We need to be careful not to push others away from the faith and church with our actions. When a member of the body falls, we must be gracious to them and reach out, pray, and not condemn them. Correct them in love and firmness but never condemn a person or hold record of their wrongs.
in the end, this woman does not remain in the church.
So i'm definitely getting faster. Been experimenting with the creative process in the free time, will post about that later.

Hello everyone, Artworx88 here. I've decided to share my social media on here, so here they are:
I also have Tumblr and Pixiv, but Tumblr is just for my followers to ask anonymous questions, so I'm Artworx88 on there. I'm also Artworx88 on Pixiv, which is basically my online art portfolio.
And now for the next topic, I need prayer. I forgot to take my medication last night, including some psychiatric medication. This is the second time this has happened this week. It's 4:45 a.m. right now and I've been awake all night. I'm going to have a rough day and I'll probably experience hallucinations, like voices, which I get when I don't take my meds.
So, please pray for me, everyone. I'm going to take it easy for today. Thanks and God bless. ~ Dana
I’ve decided that my main character, much like King David, will experience a fall from Grace. There is a lot to learn from this character...
For one thing, anyone can fall into temptations and make grave mistakes. The Bible says the enemy prowls the Earth looking for whom he may devour, and it’s true - even Christians can mess up and end up in the mud slide of life.
Another reason this character falls is because of unhealed wounds, the hidden wounds we like to hide from others and the ones we THINK we can hide from God. Hidden wounds are pathways to little sins that can sneak in and wreak havoc in our lives.
My character, being an abuse survivor and a teenager with confusing hormones and the desire to fit in, ends up in the wrong party with the wrong crowd and ends up getting angry and drunk and gets into a fight. It gets pretty bad because he goes to jail to face consequences for accidental death.
He eventually pulls a King David. He prays the dangerous prayer: search my heart God, find what is corrupt in me and remove it. He repents, returns to the path and comes out to his church to give his testimony and face the demons of his past once more and puts an end to them.
I'm not sure how else to start this, but here I go. It has been over three years since I joined this site. A lot has happened then, crazy stuff that I wouldn't be able to explain all in one post. I totally forgot how to use this site, and I don't really know how else to say this. I've been going through a lot of mental illness and depression, and it stopped me from working on my manga. I have been doing a lot of fan art, but two nights ago, I felt that the Lord was calling me to start working on my manga again. I've been the most active on Instagram, and for over two years was clinging to Dragon Ball Z art. I gained lots of followers from DBZ fan art, and was afraid of change. But now, I feel the need to get back to my story and do what truly makes me happy. I've decided to start using this site again to connect with other Christian artists. I've posted some recent original manga character illustrations for you guys to see. I hope to stay committed to posting here, as I have other social media to run. I hope to connect with you all and hear from you guys very soon. Thanks for reading and God bless. ~ Dana
Hi All:
This one is early because (apparently) I'm improving at setting up, plotting, penciling, and inking pages. I'm thinking I either add more detail to the pages or keep moving up in productivity and crank out more than one page in a week. Thoughts.
Post one thing you like and one thing you dislike.
I have yet to design the spiritual armor of my characters. This is going to be a MAJOR challenge in that I want to reflect each character in their unique armor of God. I had an armor design a few years ago but after watching Saint Seiya I scrapped the designs I made because they looked too similar...(/__\)’ and now I have to redo everything. Ever hit that wall before fam?

I'm doing a new project.
It's a video made up of my pictures and a song called "Laugh Maker" by BUMP OF CHICKEN.
I'll have over 50+ pictures in it, and I'm currently on no.24 *approximately*
....I'm afraid of running out of steam. O_o
Wish me luck!
Hey I hope everyone is okay this week! Hope you all had a good day and week last week. I haven’t written much else due to the fact that I have been learning to utilize my new sewing machine as well as a serge machine which was very tricky to thread (four spools at a time and a very specific set of loopers and blades). I have also been doing Uber at night and well, let’s just say I had the GROSSEST blessing in disguise: a drunk pair of soldiers threw up in my car and I got $300 out of all of that. Not even kidding. Cleaning my car was the bad part, driving around into Ft Bliss was no fun, watching these guys crawling on the sidewalk getting yelled at by their platoon leader wasn’t fun either. On the bright side, I got fat cash and nobody drove drunk or died. All of us went home safely.
I will eventually this month take up more character planning soon and add more to my story. I have new ideas. It turns out I may end up getting married sooner than I hoped. My parents don’t want me living at home anymore because of my job schedules and they’re wanting me out, so I guess I have no choice. I had been planning to marry this Fall around the music festival in town we get but it looks like I’ll be marrying by court first for $80 to move in with my other half. Life just neeeeever goes how we plan it to lol. (^_^)’ I guess it’s for the better, because he needs my help as it is.
Hi all:
This one didn't line up as well. Always frustrating to see that the scanner resized one pass but not the other, so when matching them up, some details hit and others don't. It's really annoying.
Post one thing you like and one thing you dislike.
Hey friends. Sorry ive been out a few days. A lot has happened but I am currently in a bad state of mind. I admit I do not have the best mental health, life has left me plenty of baggage to sift through. I am trying to make the best of it though.
I needed to talk about my character a little bit. This character was given to me in a dream about ten years ago when I was a baby christian. I was also exposed to a problem that has become a global epidemic - human trafficking.
Recently, at least 40.3 million people worldwide are currently being enslaved for forced work and others (including children) are sold into sex slavery. It is a very scary and unfortunate situation and with this book I am going to help expose this evil. My own city is a hub for human trafficking to and from Mexico. People have been arrested for this and there were Chinese restaurants shut down after they discovered human enslavement going on.
My character is a young man who experiences the human trafficking underground world. He survives it and is rescued, unfortunately, his life is darker because of it. His only bit of peace is found in his faith in Christ. He is the kind of character who gives young men a voice who in reality today need to receive healing for abuse and enslavement, mental erosion and loss of purpose. He is a character who borrows themes from David in the Bible and has to learn to slay his giants and repent from the messy situation he gets himself into that so many young people do when they end up being spiritually and mentally damaged.
He is an overcomer, and making this character was quite tricky because I had to make him the protagonist while also turning into his own antagonist in the leading incidents. He has to learn to repent and take responsibility and build himself again. This character will touch many lives and open eyes, it is a message of hope and restoration and knowing how to ask for help when needed and when to fight and when to be still. God bless you all.
Been thinking for awhile I should participate in art challenges. So today I'm submitting my first one to Serkwerks for his "Take me to your leader Tuesday" challenge. This one I did a small comp of the Martian Bovine from a previous one shot comic I did for my brother's birthday.
Here's the link to the Serkwerks website if you all want to join in.
