Artist's Comments

i can't say i know for sure what's going on here, i suppose maybe a group of travelling porcupines met a dying martyr and one especially inquisitive porcupine is wondering whether Saint Sebastian may be one of their kind, or maybe Saint Sebastian went for the martyrdom in order to resemble a porcupine and become a part of porcupines' society :meditation:
i just couldn't help but draw my own vision of Saint Sebastian's death:)

dedicated to and inspired by my dear friend Sebastian (:yum:nomen omen) :iconcharonferryman:

Niesamowite. Mocne aż do bólu, ale piękne. Imponujące.

or...or...the porcupines were quite happy worhipping their porcupine gods & along comes St. Sebastion saying no no no sin sin sin if you want to go to heaven you have to worship the god I worship. The porcupines thought otherwise, but it wouldn't look good if Sebastion (he wasn't a saint yet) died by porcupine, so the story was altered (though he was still skewered) and a martyr & a saint was born.

or

"Dad?"

that's brilliant ... St. Francis of the Porcupines.
you always offer something to think about ... a wry twist.
:hug: thoughtful work well executed, Basia.

Ha. This is a great concept. I really like the scratchy way you did the porcupine quills too.
