Description My grand experiment in cross-hatching, shading, line art and mood that started out as a visual aid to my livejournal post ; This was inspired by National Geographic's incredible new documentary of the same name. The idea of Judas having a gospel written according to him was so stunning, that I had to write about it. I imagined this portrait of him - dark, hagard, brooding, clutching his gospel as if it were an earth-shaking secret.

I am absolutely unsure about my shading/coloring here I just went wild with this one, shading here, "skritching" there (that was the sound my pencil made when the sharp point scratched against the paper), and such. I have absolutely no idea either where my light source is. This is my first step to becoming a better colorist/inker.

... Unsure you say?
Yet it's still better than what I can currently do...
I like it It's like an Evil picture of Moses clutching the Ten Commandments...
I hope the Gospel of Judas is for real...
THE CHURCH WILL CRUMBLE!

I'm afraid that, in addition to being late to the game, that it will not be so easy to diffuse us.
