I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep The hired hand runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep I am the good shepherd (John 10) Give the hungry their bread and they will follow you Serve a scapegoat on the table and they will only worship you if only you know seen the truth then your followers will believe you blindly The first impression of this picture might be a sense of blasphemy, but that wasn’t meant to be. I am inspired by the relationship between the master and the servants’ history in the western world with religion as a strong factor of power. I am inspired by Christianity as power. If you believe in only one God, this God leads you and makes your reality. If there is only one who leads the way, there is no other way to follow. The good shepherd protects his sheep and leads them to their salvation. What makes the shepherd good, if there are no other shepherds to compare with? -- This was my entry for the CGTalk challenge "Master&Servant". I have never entered an art contest before, so this was interresting - and challenging! Wish me luck Special thanks to Asvison-stock [link] Her elegant character really strengthened this painting. and thanks to my dog for being such a great fur-model  edit: colors and brightness. also sorted out the knee problem. there will be more decent editing before I make it available for print. edit: Edited quite much. Lets just say I finished it.. Prints of this one is on its way right now |

did you still decided to look at my cross as a reference? it doesn't look like it.
my favorite aspect is the grabbing at the shepherdess's dress tails;
it captures the desire quite well...almost desperate.
