Daily Sketch Project Day 14 - Jesus Not Rising

So today's prompt comes from Edward, who suggested the title of today's post. Now given the obvious interpretation, that's a dark prompt, whether you look at it from a religious perspective, or that of those who loved him. And while there's something to be said for speculative history and appreciating things by imagining their absence, on a day I find joyful, I couldn't bring myself to interpret it so dourly.

SO what you get instead is Jesus getting some much-needed rest and sleeping in. "Not rising," get it???? :DDDD He's been working hard and if anybody deserves a little extra shut-eye, it's this guy!  Though he was a man, it seems like I rarely see any depiction of his, what we'd think of as more "human" qualities, as opposed to divine ones.  Everybody's gotta sleep! 

I did some cursory research on more historically accurate ideas of what Jesus might have looked like and used those as inspiration in lieu of the typical European, art-based image that tends to come to mind.

Thanks Eddie, for the very interpretable prompt and Happy Easter again to all, and tune in Tuesday for my next facebook post at noon PST! Tomorrow's prompt will come from tumblr : )
