It's Saint John of God with his good brother Saint Raphael the Archangel!
Saint John of God was a Portuguese soldier turned health-care worker in Spain, whose followers later formed the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God, a worldwide Catholic religious institute dedicated to the care of the poor, sick, and those suffering from mental disorders (He himself had a mental breakdown).
The Archangel Raphael assisted him in his charitable work even wearing the Habit of St. John of God's order (which is black, yes good angels can wear black lol). This drawing refers to when Saint John of God was helped by Raphael as he carried a sick man ("Whatever you have done to the least of your brethren you have done to me"). Just as John of God lay weakened with the burden of carrying the man and feeling like he could not go on, Raphael appeared and together they shared the load to ensure the man was carried to the hospital. He did this and appeared many other times to help in various ways, once he even appeared with St. John the Apostle.
St. John of God and St. Raphael the Archangel, pray for us! and pray especially for those with mental illnesses! ^_^

I love drawing flowers with a dip pen! I made a video of me creating this piece and it's on my Instagram (@CreamsicleStudios) if you want to check it out. Fun!
I love drawing these little guys with my dip pen. I never know what type of character is going to come out of me, because I just put pen to paper and go. They crack me up! The day I did this I filled the whole sheet with 30 of them!
My drawings lately have been more pixelated because I've been drawing on a different software than usual. I've been drawing on aggie.io with my friend, which is where I do most of my drawings because I am otherwise unmotivated. This will be changing soon! I got a new computer with a TV for a monitor! It's way easier to draw and runs much faster.
This is a work in progress! I decided to use those Adobe apps for the first and perhaps last time because of the app shutting down. This art style is inspired by Looney Tunes + Don Bluth. Please enjoy!
