Mackie85 - Happy Saint Patrick's Day
🕑 Added 2021-03-17 14:29:16 +0000 UTCHappy Saint Patrick's Day everyone.
I wanted to do more holiday pieces and so I found this line art from Mackie85 whom I asked if I could color, they said yes and sent me the line art.
Here is the original: St. Patrick's Day 2015
In the course of coloring this piece, I also recorded my progress with it and I am uploading the video with a very lovely song as a backdrop for it in the background.
As for the other version of this picture that I did, I wanted to recognize an aspect of Saint Patrick's Day that needs to be remembered. When Saint Patrick drove out "the snakes" from the Emerald Island, let's keep in mind what that means. Basically spreading Christianity and quashing Paganism of an indigenous people. In other words, business as usual in Christianity. So, for the second picture, I threw in an old Irish Pagan symbol; the triple spiral.
So, when celebrating Saint Patrick's day, let's not forget the people and the culture that was lost.
Note: All characters depicted here are 18 years of age or older.
