for Him.

In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition. When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished. Now if the master was done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, "I'm done". But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the
servant would not dare touch the table, because.......... The folded napkin meant, "I'm coming back!"

Jesus is coming back.

trying out Lascaux Sketch...
drawing with chibipaint is much more enjoyable, but chibi doesn't have the animation feature :/

what i like in Lascaux Sketch:
- it has the magic wand tool for selecting stuff
- it has animations
- it has a HSL color palette (a big problem i have with shi-painter, is that i must select colors by sliding the RGB sliders :(
and what i don't like:
- the line tool produces stray lines over the screen (and some of the artifacts are permanent)
- if you try to pick a color, and on the layer that is currently selected that pixel happens to be transparent, it changes your brush to the eraser tool instead.. its very annoying when im trying to paint on a layer above. i basically have to paint on one layer all the time... :(
- you cannot assign pressure sensitivity to opacity, you can assign it to spacing and that helps a little, but its not the same :(
- this might just be me not knowing how to use the program. But while i was painting this, my brush would frequently stop making any marks. sometimes i could draw inside a rectangular area, but there wasn't the marching ants to indicate you have selected something like when i use the select tool. i tried ctrl-z but that didn't help, but ctrl-d did enable me to draw again. weird.. :/

I just felt like trying a "merman" draw.....it's something a little different from the usual "mermaid" draws...."lol"! I still need to work on this more.....I'm still not satisfied with it. I don't know how that "merman" thinks he is going to battle that huge ugly fish with that spear....I think he is gonna end up as "lunch" for that fish....."lolz"....:) I'm posting this as "finished", cuz I don't feel like working on it anymore at this time.....but I do plan on finishing it later.....I just feel like starting on something different to draw....this one took me quite awhile to draw, and I'm not in the mood to do anymore to it right now.....thanks for all of your comments....I will finish this later.....:)
