Hello! I’m Randy! Nice to meet you! 🤝

I’m a father, husband, I love Jesus Christ, I follow a lot of people who I don’t agree with and try to think for myself.

I try to treat everyone with respect and love, but I fail from time to time.

If you follow me, hold me accountable!

@FailsysFactorum I was very encouraged by my wife earlier this week.

I can be childish sometimes with her but she loves me all the same.

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

Hey Christian!

What’s encouraged you this week?

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

Prayers for Space Cat please.

[Space Cat VT 🐈🌠✝️ @SpaceCatVT]

I hate being a woman. It seriously feels like a chronic illness. My mood swings are going crazy and the only way to "survive" is to watch YouTube all day everyday. I can't sleep. I am either raging, giddy, apathetic, or crying. Someone please jump through the door and tell me this was all an elaborate MrBeast challenge. I need out.

“Then the LORD sent bands of Babylonian, Aramean, Moabite, and Ammonite raiders against Judah to destroy it, just as the LORD had promised through his prophets. These disasters happened to Judah because of the LORD’s command. He had decided to banish Judah from his presence because of the many sins of Manasseh, who had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood. The LORD would not forgive this.”
2 Kings 24:2-4 NLT

Manasseh - “filled Jerusalem with innocent blood” - we read in chapter 22 that he completely rebuilt and added to all the pagan worship that had been done away with by Hezekiah…

He even sacrificed his own boy.

God does not want us to engage in human sacrifice - it brings only a curse upon the land of those who engage in such things.

Sometimes I wonder if the suffering the west is currently face is because of the innocent blood we spill daily in service of our own house hold gods - Comfort. Ease. Extended youth. Wealth. Freedom from Responsibility.

Whatever the case - I know God is good and He will not let sin go unanswered.

I hope and pray our culture awakens and repents - I don’t want to see the suffering and punishment that comes with unrepentant hearts bent towards selfishness.

But, again, whatever the case - He is good, wise, fair, and holy. He will make things right.

Please pray for the nations - we need softened hearts.

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

@TheTemplarOn3 Amen - He’s the source of all real hope.

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

More copying masters tonight.

I’m enjoying this - partially because of how much it calls out error.

You know - we think we know the human body but trying to draw it, man - it really calls into question what we actually know.

I think it’s the same with trusting Jesus.

I don’t know how much I trust Him until I try to walk along that path, and find myself stumbling off of it or getting distracted.

The good news? There’s grace anew each day. He’s slow to anger, swift to forgive, and knows exactly how faulted we are - and loves us still.

I think I’ll read my bible now! 🙏🥹 God bless!

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

@Kida_Ito77 Thanks Kida!

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

The hardest part of this was setting up and believing that I could even attempt it.

I look forward to my next shot at it!

@LuigiL1985 Amen, thanks for this testimony.

[Luigi Lucarelli ✝️ @LuigiL1985]

Seeking God gives me so much purpose.

I see the world so differently and appreciate what Jesus did for us so much more with every passing day.

His love is overwhelming and I strive to be more like Christ. I often fail and I am very flawed, but I won't stop trying. 🙏

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

@Xtormicas Thanks! I was very intimidated. :)

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

@KinglyPancakes Nice!

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

I’ll try this one again in charcoal! I think I’ll be able to better capture the form that way.

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

So - first rendition of the same copy.

Thanks Pomo for the idea, what a challenge it is!

[Pomodoro ✞ 🇮🇩 @FawcettKid]

I’ve been doodling for 2 hours, and i still cant get the anatomy right.

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

@PalmerZ37 Thanks, actually looks a lot like me… if I were in Joy’s anime art-style universe!

It makes drawing him a very intentional interpretation and it’s been a great exercise trying to bring different interpretation even in the offical art for the game and books into the piece.

The implied planes require some basic anatomy knowledge as well, so previous studies are helping!

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

Second iteration of Ganondorf - Windwaker.

It’s very interesting to me how a person can interpret the art of this particular game.

At different angles - drawn even by the same artist - the shape of the head really seems to shift and don’t exactly track to me.

[Randy ✝️ @TimelessTopHat]

@shyahymns @mouseyjoy_31 I think joy did an amazing job. :) Thanks Shy!

@Lunavelle_01 I’ve always enjoyed the company of ravens, I interact with them often in my neck of the woods.
