Saints Sergius and Bacchus

One beat to death and the other de-nogginized...oh those silly Romans...

Sergius and Bacchus were two soldiers who were undercover Christians back when being a Christian was a...risky...life choice. When it was discovered and they steadfastly refused to pray to the Roman gods, they were tortured. Bacchus died while being beaten and Sergius survived his beat down (which supposedly featured a compassionate appearance by Bacchus' ghost) only to have his head chopped off later.

Either Way, He's Not Feeling It...

A View From Behind...

Not that I've heard of anybody in particular that was standing behind Jesus during his crucifixion, but I thought, "Hmmm, that would be an interesting angle that I haven't tried before," and here we have it...

He's Got...Six Toes!!

Setting: The Chapel of the Ascension

Leaning in for a closer look, Marta noticed that Jesus had six toes. Upon hearing that his secret was out, Jesus thought, "Man, I knew I shoulda worn סנדלים"

The Kiss Of Judas

This was meant to display a conflicted Judas right before he threw Jesus under the bus (chariot?), but it kind of seems like maybe an instantly regretful Judas. Later on he apparently hung himself and got sent straight to Hell...

In a big twist for me, any sexual subtext is unintended.

Alex Geerman - Esque

Here we have my drawing of someone who bears a slight resemblance to someone who may have been slightly related to someone who was mistaken for beautiful model Alex Geerman.
